Booked a flight to Jakarta (A332) and I was so sure I would have WiFi... Turns out I'm on VH-EBP today which is one of the only ones without WiFi 😭

Working well on my WLG - SYD flight in a 737, I can stream 1080p YouTube and use my work VPN with no issues. Significantly better than my experience with the AirNZ 787 trans tasman wifi, which was usable for messaging only at best. I suppose I'm glad Qantas waited and delivered a much more...

This isn't strictly true, you can see it in the regular search engine but you need to switch to "All" or "First" after initiating the search.

Could Qantas be thinking that since VA probably won't pick it up, they can just ask for this again at a later date when/if they want it again? Otherwise I wonder what the real reason is behind not moving MEL or BNE to HND. I remember some years ago NZ gave up their HND slot citing high fees or...

Emphasis mine. I'm pretty sure the A320 family has smaller windows than the 737? Especially the newer 737s with sky interior, the windows feel quite a bit larger than A320 windows (I think less of the window is masked by plastic on the Sky Interior vs. legacy cabins). edit: yeah looking it up...

I've got upcoming flights that were booked as DSC from a previous promo (before this clause came in). Since between now and March next year you could be flying DSC on flights booked either under the old rules or the new rules, I wonder if their IT system can handle only applying lifetime SCs to...

Yep, October here. Oh well :( The no DSC towards lifetime hurts more.

It's weird because it seems to only come up in the normal booking tool, not multi-city for me, even when searching with Australian origin.

Are you referring to an email titled "Confirmation and E-Ticket Flight Itinerary for xx_x", but it doesn't mention the cash portion of your payment? There won't be a tax invoice for international flights since they don't contain GST, but the E-Ticket should still have the $1500 you paid written...

Yeah just the usual 5k change fee. I'm not sure if they repriced my ticket (booked before devaluation) to the new prices though, I will have to double check once they deduct the points.

There is wide open space on JL51 HND-SYD but only if you search using the non-multi city tool on an itinerary that originates in Australia (that is to say, SYD-HND return) I'm unsure why it doesn't show if you use the multi city tool, even if searching with an itinerary that starts in...

737 SYD-WLG last week Was reliable and definitely "fast enough". Streaming video at 720p was no issue. The 0.01mbit/s internet on my Emirates A380 from CHC-SYD on the other hand... 1753326795 Yes, after we landed in Wellington, the wifi was still working.

I was able to get QF79 MEL-NRT Dec 25 Business QF26 HND-SYD Jan 5 Business released with no issues. The surrounding dates (Dec 22, 23, 26, Jan 3, 4) were also available. Both were showing I1 on ExpertFlyer. On the website there were zero Classic Rewards available for this time period in any...

I think ANA is also single meal choice between Korea and Japan, but unsure about Asiana (probably the same).

How long has the card been closed for? Generally I find if it's less than a year the refund will actually succeed and you'll have to contact the bank to retrieve your money.

Increase in Carrier Charges (at least on QF operated flights) on awards too.

Not if you spend it all before 5 August (bookings up till ~July 2026) ;)

tbh I was fearing revenue-based status credit earn, so I'm glad that didn't happen. Devaluation is unfortunate though.

My stats for 2024: 40 Flights - 8 Econ, 28 Business, 2 US Domestic First, 2 Real First 114,082 kms travelled Countries Visited: 13 New Airports to me: LHR, DOH, DCA, LCY, GMP, KOJ, OSL, HEL, IZO New Airlines to me: BA, KL, QR, AY, ZL Op-ups: 2 Y-J, once on QF, once on JL New aircraft types...

QFF earn depends on the route, not the airline flown. All airlines flying a given route (excl. QF/JQ) will earn the same amount for a given frequent flyer category. Of course there's the MH case where the frequent flyer category is lower than expected for some routes, but otherwise everything...
