    Booking a Multi City cash fare in Europe

    Those would be better off as separate tickets. Trying to do the whole shebang as a complex multi city adds risk. If you miss one of the flights the whole itinerary gets cancelled. Multicity may also add some complex fare rules, married sectors etc. People think they won't ever miss a flight...

    Easiest way to keep kids' QF points from expiring

    Yeah that's pretty much how we used to do it, if the kids had low balances. But the minimum transfer threshold is lower these days, so no need to do the conga line thing.

    Article: The Pros & Cons of Different Aircraft Types

    Ok so there was other factors in play there. What I would say is that all else being equal the cabin altitude makes a big difference on long haul. These higher pressure cabins also have slightly higher humidity. The air quality is significantly better. Your eyes, nose and mouth don't get as...

    Article: The Pros & Cons of Different Aircraft Types

    Not enough emphasis is given to the benefits of the lower Cabin Altitude of more recent designs from the A380 onward, including the A350 and 787. These aircraft run a cabin altitude of 6000ft equivalent, as opposed to 8000ft of older designs like the 777 and A330. The better air pressure and...

    Finally have EK F redemption in mind but still cannot book!

    If the phone people can't book it either, then it's time to compromise. This is real "bird in the hand" stuff, and other travellers will snap up these seats if you don't. Consider booking separately with a decent layover as contingency. Whatever you do, don't prevaricate too long. Perfect is...

    Women win right to sue Qatar airways

    Go get em! In some ways, I would like to see the women win this in court rather than take a settlement. It would be a great step forward to have a court making a finding that there was a breach of the Montreal Convention. This would potentially have global ramifications. As per the appeal...

    Women win right to sue Qatar airways

    Streisand Effect. I suspect Qatar will want to avoid further discovery in this case and will probably be well motivated to settle now. If it does go to trial, it will be interesting to see if it leads to any novel legal interpretations of the Montreal Convention.

    Qantas - Emirates Award flight Discussion

    What dates approximately? Have you tried the multi city tool? Is J showing up for you? Also try Narita as EK flies out of both.

    Women win right to sue Qatar airways

    Many will remember the incident where several completely innocent female passengers were dragged off a Qatar airways flight and subjected to horrific cavity searches. There's been a development. A group of Australian women from that cohort have had a major victory in court, winning the right to...

    Qantas - Emirates Award flight Discussion

    No I don’t think so. You would have to either fly in Feb as booked or cancel the redemption and find new award seats. Big gamble I think. I’d work harder on the options via Asia. Use the multi city tool and see what you can find.

    Are you open to snapping up the award flights through to Singapore now, and then trying for SIN-PER later (either paid or award)?

    I'm not super familiar with the process for activating passes, but it sounds like you might have picked Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) by mistake?
