Came across the same 'Preferred seat' mystery which was just discussed a few posts ago. The placement of the preferred seat row makes zero sense at this point. These two are from QF291 and QF2. If only the preferred seat would come with better pillows, food, drinks, width & legroom, service and...

Whether PE is great or a no-go really depends on your expectations and needs. Having bummed in the rear cabin too many times, my first PE was HND-HEL over Alaska & Greenland (and eventually back). That was a massive step up in seating comfort and I felt like a human on arrival. Admittedly, it's...

I wonder if they kept the seat arrangement which would include a set of Y Comfort seats from AY? They offered a few extra inches of legroom and for longhaul Y it was quite adequate (much comfier than the regular Y).

The day before you can get a one-way morning flight for about AUD $200 (about 30% cheaper than 23/7). I have done some QFF awards on AY in Scandinavia but they usually work best then doing a return from HEL and in your case, I'd go direct to the cash fare.

Yup, that's a correct translation. Based on the original article, 710 crew pilots have been negotiating and now 36 will be furloughed (that would be only 5% of the group). The furlough will start at the latest in September and continue to at least May 2026. The Finnish labour laws have many...

Is this still the case? QF20 departs at 20:35. Does your reference mean that the counters / bag drop open 4 hours beforehand (and the QF counter 6 hours before departure)?

I've had this for a couple of years now. Very capable in keeping a laptop and a phone going. Paired with small individual converters for various power sockets has been enough.

SYD-LHR in Y flex would net 280 SC return. 13 of those should take you over the line. Though, personally, I'd throw a few upgrade requests in to make it more bearable.

Should have added another option to the poll: increased weight limits on bags or waived fees. Booked again a trip and typically my checked bag comes to 28-30 kg. With QF being the MSC it's never been an issue because they happily take bags up to 32 kg each. But now I'm constrained by 23 kg...

Any experiences on through-checking from JL ticketed & operated revenue flight to QF ticketed / JL operated reward flight (separate PNR's)? If the JL check-in can check the bags through, it would remove some worry about the connection. Segment 1: Europe-HND, JL operated + ticketed revenue...

It's a tricky route from QFF viewpoint. You could find e.g. these Emirates flights from Perth but the fees are astronomical. Have you possibly checked for options departing from SE Asia? Get a cheap flight to there and catch your J flight from there? It might provide more options to you.

BTW, how about better drinks when travelling at the back? An offer of J wine instead of whatever is on offer in Y?

Well, English people do have a knack for making things complicated. Sounds like the program is well on par with their inherent style... [Ducking for cover before they want to bury me for this...]

In some instances also get a vacant seat next to you for more space. In the best case, the whole row of 3 or 4 which can make a world of difference at the back of the bus long-haul.

HND I-I connection in 60 minutes? JL website happily suggests a 60 min connection JL48 (HEL-HND) -> JL93 (HND-GMP) but if I read the EF MCT table right, it should be 90 mins. It'll be on the same ticket but I would rather arrive earlier in the evening than wait for the next two flights ex-HND...

Same here. We had separate bookings and my companion had group 4. They were linked at the lounge and she was bumped into group 1. On the return leg, I was able to check us both in through my booking and we had the same boarding group.

I've been on QF less often recently but it's always been groups 1+2 together. On Sunday, QF478 from MEL, started with group 1 only. I arrived at the gate when the last 1's were going in and tailgated a couple who looked insta-ready with their matching bags and all. First they stopped midway...

What's the availability in PE on JL52/51 (SYD-HND and back) in June? The aircraft has the cabin but JL does not show seats available on their booking site and EF shows PE availability at zero. At the same time, some of the seats are occupied on the seat map. Can the allocation genuinely be...

A question from a layman's armchair: this time (and seemingly often in comparable situations) the pilots attempt to land on the runway. What would happen if they landed on the nature strip / grassland? Wouldn't it provide a potentially softer terrain will less friction to reduce or slow the...
