Condor do fly that route, but I'm not sure how much Condor helps with overall connectivity. If you look at it's route map, it primarily connects German airports with leisure destinations, especially in the Mediterranean and Caribbean (Condor Weltkarte – Traumziele entdecken) and doesn't have any...

The 'premium' airline United doesn't even keep all its lounges open until the flight's scheduled departure. At LAX, the SYD flight leaves at 11:30 pm, but before 10 pm they shuffle people out of the Polaris lounge to close it, and not long after they shuffle you out of the United Club in order...

Wowzah, I'll have to take your word for it! My Mandarin knowledge is zilch.

Do you have a link for this China Eastern option? I'm heading to MM on Delta but this sounds intriguing...

From my experience living in the US a while ago: For QF: - The lounge access on domestic AA or AS legs from QF status is invaluable - If you are approaching LT status on Qantas, those AA / AS legs will keep getting you closer For AA: - Status match / challenge definitely works - Much more...

Please no! Keep SQ as it is, one of the few airlines with a proper cheatline. Let everyone else dilute their brand with hockey sticks, Eurowhite, jellybeans, billboards and all over colour, but to me SQ retains a look from the golden age of travel.

If you look at the site on the Wayback Machine, beyond the community forums the focus was more on News & Views, Trip Reports, Community Insights, Member Blogs, etc. Now 2 of the 5 top dropdowns are "Credit Cards" and "Guides & Tools" which defaults to "Credit Card Points Transfer Assistant". I...

You may be right. And if that works for their business, good luck to them. Given the ownership of the site, they are probably crawling over user activity for any insights to maximise their revenue as hard as Qantas Loyalty. Any changes to the site are going to be driven by that, especially given...

My spidey senses tell me that the owners of this site are doing everything they can to push up the the revenue and other user metrics short term so that they can flog the whole thing off to someone like Red Ventures. They own sites like Cnet and The Points Guy where they have driven a decline in...

In my experience, rebrands are usually done for two reasons: The marketing department have run out of ideas and want to be let loose on a new big project; or There's a bigger corporate objective at play for which a rebrand provides good cover for. It could be both here, but AFF has been slowly...

The bigger question is what will happen to all the HSBC cards after the sale of the HSBC Australia retail banking arm goes through - apparently Citi have been appointed to advise on the sale (link is subscriber only)...

Transferred on a Tuesday, posted on the Thursday

It took 48 hours for the points to post in a transfer I made in May.

Gone, mods pls close

Will QF refund the difference between a J and Y redemption in these cases?

I don't fly VA because I'm still hesitant to get on a 737 MAX, but if I ever overcame that, my calculation would look like: What I really value from status is lounge access, not just with the airline but with their global alliance partners Flying VA domestically in AU, I'd just get the Amex...

1 gone, 1 left to go

I have two expiring that day too

That is required so that the hackers can cross-match this data in a future leak from an outsourced call centre with the data leaked in this one.

If QF want to support live music at SYD, they should get the acts to play in the space which used to house the Qantas Heritage Collection and has been unused for half a decade and add a buffet with some drinks.
