I think I went with the earlier combo of the Czech website for seats then the QF app for meals. I'm flying tonight (SYD-BNE-TPE-LHR) and everything has stuck per boarding passes. Noticed the meal choice made via QF is reflected in the CI app, but can't be changed fully in the CI app (by which I...

Great review, thanks for posting that. It all sounds quite promising.

Is there an easy way to add a frequent flyer number to an existing MU booking? I have a SYD-AKL J booking in November, but didn't add FF number at the time of booking (or the option wasn't there). I've been through the 'manage my booking' via their website and tried the app, but haven't found...

I flew EC-NUI MNL-SYD yesterday, and I managed to stuff myself up after misreading the seatmap. After the aircraft change, I'd been allocated 2K, which I was convinced was one of the near-the-aisle seats, so I switched for 1K. Of course, I had it precisely backwards and got stuck right on the...

Having flown it a week ago, I'll answer my own question: the bulkhead (1A) worked very nicely, plenty of room to get past my seat mate without any gymnastics needed. Generous amount of legroom and the width was good (especially for a daytime flight). Main downside was that the meal was pretty...

SYD-PER May 31st Minimum was $320 IIRC, I bid $360 for a bit of a buffer. Confirmed successful approx 12 hours before flight (EF was showing 2 spare J seats the day before)

I'm in the same boat (early July), so I was trying to find the seat information as well. The Wamos site has quite detailed views of their planes, with nice 3D models and closeups of the seats, but the main detail missing is the seat/row numbers: Get to know our large and versatile fleet of...

February next year. So true, if I hit Plat in this July/August, 12 months of that, worst case drop back to Gold next July/Aug. So call it 18 months when compared to my current end of Gold, after pushing it out to the following Jul/Aug rather than Feb.

I'd told myself that I was going to resist this year, but the CBR-MEL-ADL <$440 pricing broke my resolve. Initially I was going to just do one direction to re-qualify for gold, but after finding I didn't have any current SCs expiring until August, booked the return to reach platinum. Depending...

Generally really poorly, I usually just end up lying down in the dark. It doesn't help that I'm a side sleeper who likes to switch sides throughout the night - managing to get my feet comfortably into some of those footweels (SQ, I'm looking at you) after turning over can be a real struggle. I...

Absolutely. I feel for everyone trying to get through DXB - that backlog is going to take ages to clear. Good luck, hope you're underway soon. I'm at CHC atm, having checked-in for QF134 - as I did, I saw that the inbound EK 412 from SYD is showing 3 hours late. Lots of frazzled looking people...

Yeah, booked cash thru EK (at the time, it was a solid deal in J: $580-ish CHC-SYD-BNE). I think I made a mistake letting the one person I spoke to transfer me for the rebooking - since then, I've never made it off hold to an operator. Their text chat immediately disconnects, citing the volume...

I know it's the outer reaches of their network, but I was booked on the canceled EK413 CHC-SYD today. I've had absolutely no luck in getting it rebooked - I managed to speak with someone the first time I called, but all he could do was confirm they couldn't offer me any alternatives today and...

Agree 100% - it's an interesting choice to have them on a 3 hour daytime flight, while a 4-5 hour overnight flight doesn't.

VA816 SYD-MEL (Sunday - Breakfast) Açai Fruit bowl. Quite light and tasty. Almond slice on the side went well with coffee. VA145 MEL-ZQN (Sunday - Lunch) Pumpkin pasta with pita and hummus on the side. Hummus was nice, with a bit of spice to it. Pasta was a bit on the sweet side, but pretty...

I just booked SYD-SIN o/w in June - found a day when ScootPlus was $553 (the days around were ~$750). As a bonus, I had a voucher from KF that brought it down to $460. At that price, it seemed worth rolling the dice. Daytime flight too, arriving 18:55 - hopefully get to the hotel in time for...

Apart from some domestic trips plus a week in NZ, I've been planning a 3 week UK/EU trip as J redemptions become available. I may have to make some changes, but so far I've managed to book: SYD-BNE-TPE-LHR (CI J, QF award) - the SYD-TPE flight wasn't available, so had to burn a few more...

I think I got reasonably lucky: VA booked me into the Mantra Melbourne Airport (5 min trip on the included shuttle bus), with a $30 meal voucher (just a few dollars short of covering a pizza with a glass of wine at the on-site restaurant). I'm glad I wasn't told to book my own, as everything...

I just had the MEL-LST leg of a OOL-MEL-LST canceled (last VA flight of the day to LST). I did notice there was a later JQ departure and half thought about seeing if I could be moved to that, but ended up accepting the overnight hotel and first flight the next morning - partly in hopes of...

Successful upgrade SYD-HBA at $85 (minimum was $80). Put my bid in the night before the morning flight and was approved within the hour - assumed this meant a near empty J cabin, but it ended up completely full.
