    Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan

    Nice, but I assume these are actually business class flights that Qatar markets as first class. The true Qatar first class is only available on their A380 and ex Cathay 777s. Still gets Al Safwa access which is a nice bonus though 🙂

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Currently on QF878 MEL-OOL. Landed just before this hit. Still in tarmac due to unsafe conditions outside. Pouring down now and shaking up the 737.

    Tight ITL to ITL connex at Changi on 2 x SQ flights - are there security or customs delays etc?

    I have done this trip a few times with varying transit times. If the luggage is checked through or no luggage, there is no customs, but there is a security check at each gate at Changi (except T4). Each time I arrived into Changi on SQ, I have seen airport staff holding a board for immediately...

    JAL Apex 787-9 vs Cathay A350 J?

    I would probably pick the JAL apex suites over Cathay for the seat. If you said HKG-NRT, I would be tempted to go Cathay as they are operating their Aria suite aircraft to there on some flights. The main issue would b taking out the bags upon arrival at Tokyo. The lounges in Hong Kong are of...

    Booking Sri Lankan Airlines?

    Not expecting anything and I understand delays are part of every airline. But constant 4+ hour delays on both Melbourne and Sydney routes this week certainly makes it unreliable. I got the beep at the gate and got an involuntary gate upgrade as a OWE, but still doesn't entice me to try them...

    Booking Sri Lankan Airlines?

    Currently half way through a Sri Lankan Airlines itinerary. Impacted by severe delays 6 hours each way on MEL-CMB/CMB-MEL. I had a 7.5 hour original transit at CMB on the return. But due to the initial delay of 4 hours, it became 11.5 hours. However, they wouldn't provide any accommodation...

    Article: The Cost-Saving Strategy of Earning Status Every Two Years

    Nice article and handy tips. I think some airlines like BA also give you a grace period. So, your status is valid for an extra month even if you don't meet the requirements that year.

    Award seats on BA using QFF points

    Finnair is currently having an avios sale. And I am pretty sure you can transfer the Avios then to BA avios at 1:1. https://onemileatatime.com/deals/buy-finnair-plus-avios/

    Turkish Airlines Sydney-Istanbul flights via Kuala Lumpur

    Has anyone been able to book SYD-KUL on this route? I can see the MEL-SIN sector bookable separately, but not SYD-KUL for the month of December.

    Seats.aero - a useful tool for finding Qantas & Velocity reward availability

    I noticed option to search for >1 seat on other programs, but not on Qantas. Is this something that is coming in future? Currently, I use Alaska search to work around this for Oneworld airlines and assume Qantas would have the same availablity.
