Does Malaysian fly the route (maybe with a connection)? They will be joining OW soon.

What about Codeine? It's an over the counter drug here, and heavily restricted, if not banned in UAE. How do you get a prescription for that? Drugs in Dubai People have been arrested in Dubai for possession of Codeine: Dubai tourists warned over tough drug stance - Middle East - World - The...

I've been on flights with 30+ colleagues in J. I don't think this is unusual.

I see that Skywards members will only earn points / receive benefits when part of an international journey. Must be because Skywards has the "traditional" method of earning status - i.e. just on number of miles travelled. Without this conditions, Australians would have the choice of choosing...

My guess is that since this is such a broad ranging change for EK, they may as part of the deal introduce a Platinum level with similar benefits to WP.

TBH I would have much preferred to win the 500,000 points .... CONGRATULATIONS Dear [ ], We've been overwhelmed by the number of people wanting to be involved in the celebration of our new spirit. Over 60,000 Australians participated in our campaign, helping us to raise $100,000 for Mission...

Are you guys serious? It is not illegal to fly under a different name in Australia. Immoral maybe but not illegal.

Of course no one checks id on flights in aus .... You could have a friend fly two cheap segments for you in aus.

Book a refundable ticket? On Jetstar or the cheapest carrier? I remember this discussion on the BA FT board a few years ago. A BA Rep came online and said F passengers have liberal guest access for this very reason - i.e. so that they can bring their assistant in.

The rationale is that someone travelling in first may have a minder, an assistant or other pleb that they need in the lounge that is not travelling with them.

I had a bad experience a few years ago with this on BA. I was sitting in a bulkhead seat (Y) and the family behind us asked to swap - they had one child in a seat and one on a lap. Trying to be nice (and sucking it up) I said no problem as long as none of them reclined during the flight. Of...

I once ran into a BA crew at a hotel bar in Nairobi that were flying me home in a couple of days. They upgraded me to J on the plane. This was in 1999 though, so things have changed somewhat since then ...

QF used to use paper certificates for upgrades. When the conversion was made to upgrade credits (which sadly, no longer exist), any outstanding paper award certificates were automatically changed to upgrade credits. This was great at the time - I think I purchased about 15 or 20 cretificates...

This is interesting. The wife is a QF NB but has over 1400 status credits this year after doing a RTW in F with me. She only has two of these though: ~ We are doing a domestic return in September. Will be interesting to see whether they send her three cards, or just the one.

What is super annoying is that they make you line up beind individual agents. What's long with a snake queue (or line, as they call it). Once or twice I've been stuck behind someone getting an super extra grilling and taken half an hour longer than someone who chose a different queue.

My list of Op-ups is as follows (over about 8 years): - Numerous Y-J op-ups on BA european flights (probably 15+ over a period of 5 years) all with my significant other as a QF Plat or Gold - all on weekend flights (i.e. Friday through sunday) on leisure trips in Europe (I tended to fly J...

More often than not I'm travelling with my wife - pretty much all of my op-ups have been with her and she's been op-upped as well.

Ocassionally. I had my only double upgrade as a QF Gold - from Y to J on BA from SFO to LHR.

So then if there is no bridge at 1L and First passengers have to depart through 2L - do they hold back the passengers in Row 48?
