It might not be unusual for VA in the past when they kept dropping A330's for 737's, but it is unusual for QF. I have been flying QF574 on Saturdays at least 6 times a year for many years. This is the only time a 737 has been scheduled on QF574 in the dozens of flights I have taken.

I regularly fly SYD-PER and PER-SYD. Being a larger and tall person, I find the A330 Economy more comfortable for a 4-5 hour flight than the 737. so only book the QF A330 services for longer flights. I moved back to QF from Virgin when the A330's were removed from the times I wanted to fly on...

At least in other countries that do, they cover it with canvas and only take it off when they unload at the plane.

I didn't say that i'd change my flight dates, but had I known about the SC bonus coming the next day, yes I would have waited and booked a day later to get the SC bonus. All good. I'll keep an eye on the Airfare and if it drops while this promotion is running I'll re-book.

That said flight date, not booking date. The flight date has not changed, so still not eligible for the partner discount.

I don't understand what you mean? The price we paid 27/11 is the same as the price today if we re-book to get the additional SC.

It was a business saver fare, and in my circumstance the $200 cancellation PP fee is probably not worth 185 status points. Pete.

My timing always seems to be off. Bought a Business class ticket PER-AKL for early January on the 27/11, a day before this promotion. The flight date was also a few days before the half price partner premium promotion fares. So double bad timing. This is the first Business fare I have...

SQ Y PER-SIN received a SGD90 voucher on board for inflight purchase. Not the best conversion, but better than nothing and didn't try for any more.

Despite what's in Southwests terms and conditions, the gate agent flatly told me that I am unable to claim any compensation for the money paid for the comfort seat, as I was not large enough to warrant an additional seat and should not have purchased one to begin with. The flight was not full...

That exact thing happened to me on a flight from SFO to LAX on Southwest. I only purchased the comfort seats because the airfare dropped and I had received a credit that I had no other use for. But as far as the agent was concerned, It was a paid for additional seat which they revoked without...

I flew China Eastern earlier this year, and the lady sitting in the aisle seat was happily cutting her toe nails with the off cuts flying around the cabin. I think that's up there with grossness

This Newish $1 charge while small used to annoy me, so I just set up a direct debit to automatically pay the balance. The bonus, no fee and the card gets paid even while I may be away. I also ask them at the same time which banks they have tie ups with in the countries I am visiting and this...

I travel to Japan at least once a year, and I'm a cheapskate. I agree with most people here. Citibank plus and 28 degrees card is the best and lowest cost option for travel in general including Japan. I generally take no cash with me. There are banks of multiple 7/11 ATM's at both Tokyo...

Yes unless it is cheaper for the insurer to just pay for the non-refundable portion of the cancelled/delayed flight. I imagine in most circumstances it would cost more for a same day flight than what was paid originally for the cancelled/delayed flight. Thanks for your input. For free...

How about the Langham Place hotel in Mongkok? It's a 5 star hotel (#9 on Trip Advisor), located above the Mongkok MTR station. There are often specials for the better and higher floor rooms at around A$250 a night. Pity you leave so early they do a great breakfast buffet.

This is true, but would be nice to have as an optional add-on at additional cost.

Most policies offer cover for some delay expenses for hotels and meals, but not for re-booking flights. While the cover may be for Thousands of dollars, you will usually find that they may only pay for delays over 6 hours and around $200 per 24 hours of delay. The policies that do offer cover...

Thanks Matt, I took at look at AON and they do offer Missed connection insurance, but only for Special events (weddings, Funerals, Conferences, Major Concerts, or Sporting Events). On top of Travel insurance Direct, World Nomads, Allianz, Virgin, HBF, Citibank, Australia Post, Insureandgo...

Thanks to all the replies, Flights were paid mostly from Airline credits for previous cancelled flights, so no CC insurance on these. Thanks I'll check them out. It's a combination of both. Most of my US internals are on separate PNR's. I wasn't asking about the connections that are...
