But the thing they're spending literally years deliberating over is already widely used elsewhere in the world. How much "looking" do they need to do?

The entire upgrade list cleared...UA is very transparent with that info on the flight status page. It does only show the on the day upgrade list though...previously for flights as empty as that one I've been waitlisted for upgrade and its cleared as early as 7 days out. So in reality of the 29...

I actually thought that was already mentioned in this thread but seems not. The change in I class availability coincides exactly with the change to IN. You would think (maybe) this is more of a clumsy implementation or system issue that will be addressed...it impacts all *A partners too.

Yesterday's final seat map for UA99 MEL-LAX. Polaris went out with 19 free seats AFTER 7 upgrades were confirmed. But never at any time in the lead up to the flight was there I class inventory.

I don't think its that...many UA flights ex Australia are going out with poor load factors at the moment. Polaris may look like its doing OK but it is of course full of upgrades. I flew MEL-LAX in mid July and about a week out Polaris was half full (not just based on seat map as UA is very...

"Hi...this is the CEO. I need that report right now!" "OK".

You might also consider the emergency exit rows. 5 hour flight...at least you won't have to walk the entire length of the aircraft to use the lavs.

QF63 departs at 1030 by then. That's a legal connection.

Often PE cabins are small...I think its probably more a case that the operating carrier guards that inventory for their own management. VA doesn't sell premium economy on Singapore Airlines, United...or actually I think any of its partner airlines.

That sounds completely standard though. Pretty sure you're not earning anything if you spend $2k on carrier surcharges on an Emirates award on Qantas.

It sounds like if it (your VA number) was ever there, you overwrote it with an NZ number...so I doubt they will post.

I would not have done that. I don't believe you will earn anything in Airpoints due to the unilateral nature of this arrangement and the VA flight number. You hopefully got this fixed (VA number added) at check in.

I have a repeated issue (currently on S25 Ultra, but also on my previous S23 Ultra)...where only my American Express card (I have a few others) in Samsung Wallet goes into a state where it is "Temporarily Unavailable - Connect to a Wi-Fi or mobile network to use this card"...which is in fact...

They would if you booked them via VA.

No you don't. You can still fly to Europe or SQ on NH and earn status credits...nothing that is happening with QR changes that. And with VA you pretty much know you're going to earn...there are no paid fare classes that are excluded from earn that you have to go and cross reference against some...

There is security screening at the gate for all flights at SIN T1,2,3...that is where they do security, not at a centralised point. However yes, the secondary security screening is Australian government regulation. Surprised you haven't encountered this before as its been this way for a very...

It was simply a brain fart by the journalist...not surprised they'd ignore it...it was based on nothing.

Assuming you mean the Silverkris lounge, in Singapore that is only for business class passengers. Velocity status grants you access to the Krisflyer Gold lounge (which is an inferior but still OK lounge (T3)). SQ is a stickler for the rules and you will be allowed ONE guest over the age of 2...

Every time someone comes out and says this carrier surcharges go up again.

The worst of these surcharges is still half of what QFF are paying for Emirates J & F awards. And a lot of people seem to absolutely over the moon to pay "just" $1800 in "taxes" on a one way from Australia to Europe.
