I 100% agree however I'd rather spend time in the nice places ;) I think my record has been HKG earlier in the year. I went Wing First, Wing Business, QF Lounge, Pier Business and Pier First. Yes I know rookie leagues just 5. Last Thursday, I had 3.5 hours and could have done 7 in MEL with...

In the past it has been the first week of September.

I had the Godfather Sour and an Applewood G&T last week in MEL, all very good. The prawn brioche was the favourite food option. I had the prawn, mozzarella, pork and squid. That being said the MEL EK lounge is currently opening at 5:15pm and so I trekked over there for some better cheese and...

Black out dates still apply so I suspect this sort of thing will be blocked.

It's kind of correct. You can't book HA flights directly as classic rewards as on this page it has to be one as an AS flight number: https://www.qantas.com/ie/en/qantas-experience/network-and-partner-airlines/hawaiian-airlines.html#qantas-frequent-flyers

No problem, not just with NH but all other carriers, for example I booked a UA flight with SQ points and then got my VA benefits by changing number.

Does this mean all maxes have wifi now?

Unlike JQ, 3K was never that strict on the 7kg. Once big plus was their priority boarding that started with Row 1 and over wing exits, followed by rows 2-5 (preferred seats) then the back half and front. I wish JQ would copy that 3K method!

I flew on the A220 today in J (first time) and had a nice flight, I think the seat was better than the 737 (noting the A321 and refit 737 will have the newer seat) but the stand out thing was the front toilet... so much space compared to 737 front lav or those tiny things down the back.

I'm onboard QF157 and the speeds after we left Australia are excellent. Speedtest settled at this but it did peak at 110mbps down. FYI this is the exact spot we lost the NBN sats and the drop was around 3-4 minutes, the announcement before takeoff did mention a drop leaving AU airspace...

BNE-MEL has been an A220 route since day 1, I flew on an A220 on the first day of passenger flights from BNE-MEL. Nothing special really other than QF using more A220s on the BNE-MEL route and then stretching the 737s to new places like DRW-SIN, BNE-ROR etc

What about MEL-BNE?

I’ll be at MEL between 3-6pm today (so will miss unless JQ super late) and pay a visit to the F lounge.

Noticed this as well, mine showed about 4 days out the rego. For partner flights on aircraft that aren't in the QF fleet (eg A320/A350) it doesn't show an aircraft picture whilst those that are in the QF fleet but partner operated are showing the QF livery plane.

See my post #40 above. From the document last week they are meant to be coming.

Most of the 300s are still registered to Qantas awaiting their sale. Back in April Avmax mentioned they had signed a letter of intent with Qantas to purchase the 16x Q300s but it appears this hasn't happened yet except for just a few which were accepted then went into storage. My guess is they...

VA website doesn't have GOH (Nuuk) loaded in however if you edit the URL the results appear otherwise would be bookable over the phone.

One other thing is that pricing across all regions is now the same, Milelion has a good article about this. https://milelion.com/2025/08/05/accor-plus-becomes-all-accor-explorer-stay-plus-nerfed-dining-discount-cut-to-30 I had mine in Malaysia and paid ~$427 per year with 2x free nights...

I guess it’s an easy one for them to cancel with other options like QF or JQ via DPS whereas other ports aren’t serviced by other QF group airlines making it harder to recover.
