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...

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...

Have you tried Expertflyer for seats and Google Flights for routes? https://www.expertflyer.com/ https://www.google.com/travel/flights

Getting this back on topic, the successful argument from the appeal has been paraphrased as follows. https://www.afr.com/companies/transport/strip-search-victims-free-to-bring-case-against-qatar-airways-20250724-p5mhgs

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...

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.

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.

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...

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)?

And confirming that was the contact number against the booking?

Love Bermuda. We don't get enough trip reports from there. Along for the ride

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?

Good that they were able to get you on an alternative, but not so good that you wouldn't have known unless you kept checking your booking on the App. Can I ask if you were using a travel sim or roaming with your regular AU number?

Try midweek and outside school holidays. Basically the days with lower loadings in the J cabin.

Have a look at JAL also. They fly non stop from TYO to several US cities on both coasts, and in the middle too (Dallas and Chicago). So you can easily avoid entering via LA. I've found their awards availability quite good lately. https://www.jal.co.jp/jp/en/inter/route/network/ame.html

Which frequent flyer scheme points have access to EK reward seats? Is it just Skywards miles, Air Canada points and QF points? Avios for example dont work I believe. Anyone got a list? Google isn't super clear.

Most of the private schools will be on holidays from the first week. And all the year 12’s will be well and truly on holiday by late Nov.

Is the travel date in December within 12 months of the date the passes were issued?

What’s the backstory of Edinburgh?
