I was planning to book directly with the two airlines. but I've moved away from this connection based on the feedback.

please put a few Philippines trips on your agenda.

Getting deeper into Mrs Albatross's Annual policy which I need to buy in the next two week. I hit up ChatGPT 4o. My shortlist 'was' Covermore & SCTI. As I started exploring questions I had to add some more policies. TID, Allianz & even Qantas. Process: 1. Used tdimdad spreadsheet and...

560 short of Gold. I'm not expecting much. An extra 14 days would cover my next trip. (I've only been a member starting with Flight Deck in 198x, first going gold in 1992.)

It's very likely that this year 31 Aug I'll be 560! short of requalifying. I have a Y trip to USA in early September so that's unfortunate timing. I do admit that during this year I took other airlines while QF price was 50% higher on the same trip.

pro tip regarding Amaysim. They say they don't cover Morocco which concerned me as I would not be able to receive authentication code. When I landed there in May 23 the phone was able to connect and receive SMS but definitely nothing outgoing.

thanks gang. it was going to be too tight.

I've made a draft itinerary for an upcoming trip thinking of going to BKK via DPS. The return connection TG 431 BKK-DPS Arrives 14:15 VA48 DPS-BNE departs 15:10 From this thread I can see this is unlikely to be possible at DPS. Is there any more recent experience that might persuade me to...

I've use the nested bookings concept a couple of times. Once back in the day of Apex fares I was going to Melbourne each month for a 2 day meeting, so I made 1 BNE-MEL return for 3 months return. Then made the 2 required bookings to spend 28 days (or whatever) in Brisbane. Went oddball when...

a) The tax Invoice saga for me started with Qantas Travel Insurance. In September 2023 I took out an annual policy. after the email arrives showing: A$ 710.00 (includesapplicable GST/Stamp Duty) without a formal tax invoice I asked for the amount of GST to claim. In return I again received a...

A big shout out to tdimdad. I did peruse the spreadsheet a few months ago. Now I'm in the process of buying two annual policies. I'm tossing up whether to get a fully featured policy for me to carry all the rental car excess, extra items and to get a reduced premium policy for Mrs Albatross OR...

I was wanting my earning to go to SQ's KF. My checkin was benefits and earnings to KF. The lounge door staff were the ones entering the numbers somewhere. Whatever the Brisbane agent did sent my points to VFF. What the BKK & SIN staff didn't.

Well I never imagined I would be posting in this thread. Booked flights to Thailand 6 months in advance to explore the Thai-Burma railway. Travelled to Thailand on schedule. Overland to HellFire pass only to discover that the Hellfire Pass Interpretive centre was closed !! for maintenance and...

A story of one itinerary, three lounge visits. My SQ website booking was made with my Krisflyer number in the booking. The itin included 3 SQ & one TR sectors. Boarding passes printed with KF number. Lounge entry obtained by showing digital virgin card. Brisbane KF Lounge. Upon entry the...

Interesting to note that the QF BNE-MNL fares don't show as points or SC earning.

1. Flights from Au can rarely connect to domestic destinations same day. Arriving on QF19 or the PR flights required overnight hotel anyway. So, a 1am (3am AEST) arrival. For me I'd be wanting to grab a hotel and take a ~10am flight. 2. We don't know what BI will throw at it. They usually seem...

I'm excited to book some BNE-MNL flights. It would be nice if QF loaded some fares.

you are right all booked as AA flights on QF metal.

The biz class decision is more than just the flying time. You have made the journey and arrive well rested and stretched out. As soon as you hit the ground you are ready to go. Plus you spent the 24 hours together dining and experiencing nice service. Getting an open jaw with either Emirates of...

@equus what would be the revenue flows on my upcoming flight. Booked on aa.com on a QF metal BNE-LAX return. Entered my Gold QFF and hopefully earn extra points. Will enter the BNE QF lounge outbound Inbound leg the QF or maybe AA lounge at LAX I end up with QFF points. As AA had the income...
