It's been great to have your very thoughtful input and advices. I wish you well with your new ventures and hope you continue to contribute to this site.

I've had 2 calls on my mobile this week: perhaps it's an advertising campaign, I'd never heard of them. 😀

Yes agree. I've decided to apply on reports by people they have had success with the application. Hopefully it will come through. Thanks to all who thought of and initiated the applications.

Enjoyed the trip report; particularly considering the personal and maturity comments

Bit parochial but I think Jarrah is the best :)

Yes, been lucky and had all waitlists cleared. Years ago I used to call and ask whether they were likely to clear. I don't think you can do that anymore.

Misunderstanding, I was thinking they couldn't book even though it had the right coding. Good it booked for you and glad to know it works - I'm a bit cynical when it comes to qantas having had some past unnecessary complications.

See post #12. I think they're trying to book and it's coming up with an error code despite the AS code. That's what I read, maybe have it wrong, been out and about today.

That's not good, perhaps the tech hasn't caught up with the new booking/coding requirements

Good to know; I was wondering. hope the op shares any illuminating ? info that they receive.

Thanks @justinbrett. I'll probably have a choice between Alaska and Hawaiian so gives me a better idea. Most of the commentory is around the other major US lines.

Rats; thank you, also looking for similar info

Thanks, good to know. I've only ever flown United and a forgettable domestic or two props. I was under the impression Alaska was better than the others.

Thank you, I'll keep an eye on it as we get closer to the date. Lounges not really a concern as will be staying with friends.

Yes, didn't notice the difference in taxes, something to ponder. AS are certainly getting things together, I hope to take a paid flight with them next year.

Thanks @SYD . Hawaiian has become available in economy as well; not that I particularly want to fly Y but J not showing, probably from lack of status. My guess is there's not a lot in it, better to save the points.,

Qantas and Hawaiian are now showing award flights for the same route bookable through Qantas FF., Apart from the difference in mile/points required has anyone flown both and what makes for the better flight? e.g seating, service and food.

"The scientific theory I like best is that the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of lost airline baggage". "Forget all that stuff about lift, gravity, thrust and drag. An airplane flies because of money. If God had meant man to fly, He'd have given him more money".

Thank you for the info, most appreciated but I am looking later in the year. We tend to book well ahead.

I also have a lightweight, foldable back pack for essentials which I use for trips with transits and which folds very easily into a suitcase. It can also be used on the trip home for dress purchases,.
