A slight win thanks to the ITA status match. Booked a KLM flight using Qantas points and to my shock, KLM charges seat selection fee ($50!) even in business class. Thankfully, I was able to clear my Qantas FF on the Garuda website and add my ITA number on the KLM website. And, now the seat...

There is currently a 30% discount offer for Accor Plus sign ups reducing the yearly subscription to $279 for AU based memberships! P.S. if you happen to live in another region, it is also discounted. Worth checking :p

I had a JAL flight booked for Mel-nrt using Qantas points just after covid. That got cancelled and we weren't offered any alternatives. I pushed them to see if they will get me on the Qantas flights, but after several HUCA, they still told me they cant and refunded me. I had gold status at...

What would happen to the insane taxes that EK charge out of MEL (out of SIN is still a bargain)? Will they get reduced if one was to be offered the QF option

I guess there are 3 different business class Emirates lounges at DXB, one in each concourse. You could perhaps experiment and pick one that is quieter?

Seems to be a selection of A350s than the entire fleet. This one seems to have just departed HKG.

is this only the A350-1000 that is affected? I have some flight later in the week from MEL, but on the A350-900

Per sector i believe unless you have situations where the same flight number carries across to the flights. For example QF33, SYD-PER-CDG. I am not sure what happens there

Having flown atleast 12 times on Cathay this year and with several more flights coming up, I don't think I can go back to Qantas despite being WP. I find Cathay treat OWE much better than Qantas their own WP. I have been bumped up twice and always had much better recognition and service on...

I wonder if QR would do the same? Would WSI count towards the 28 they are allowed per week into Australia's 4 major airports?

The unilateral partnership might actually help NZ based travellers flying to AU regularly if the pricing is right as it gives them another program option over the terrible Airpoints system. As a past NZ based traveller for years, I really don't value the Airpoints program. Going back to...

It depends on the fare class booked. Cathay prices their fares in the same class code despite calling it lite, essential or flex. For it, to enter Qantas points or SC, they need to be in these fare codes. A L flex fare booked on Cathay will still only earn under discount economy for Qantas SC...

how often does Qantas run the NZ premium cabin sale? are we due for another one soon? Or do i need to book one to trigger it :D

Had a random series of events and wanted to check if this is normal. Initially booked QF479 SYD-MEL and it was scheduled to leave at 18:00. Last night, I got an email saying that it got changed to 17:35 (which I accepted). Then this morning, I got an email saying it got changed back to 18:00...

Just had this come up in my email.

book by 29th August 2024? Otherwise, this offer could be rather generous... ;)

Wait, I actually got my dates wrong 🤦🏼‍♂️(now, i have 1 less week to train 😭) Could someone check the availability for 12th October? Melbourne city hotels - Sofitel or Novotel preferably.

Actually, it is Melbourne marathon day :p. Which is why I was looking to stay the night before and run it the next day... oh well...

Thanks, thats very interesting. In fact I just tried CNS-SIN-CGK and that prices at 68.5k. Route Direct (miles) Indirect (miles) Direct/Indirect CNS-DPS 2135 4150 0.51 CNS-CGK 2745 3659 0.79

I have a question about SQ award charts. Maybe this was covered in another thread. I was trying to book CNS-SIN-DPS on the website and I expected it to be 68.5k miles in J (Zone 9 to Zone 2). However it is pricing it at 89.5k miles (which is the sum of a Zone 9 to Zone 1 award and Zone 1 to...
