i think perhaps they refer to 230 Qantas (and associated) lounges, being all QF, BA and AA lounges coughulatively. But 230 is a huge number, i agree. Doubtful, really.

Your spider senses are sharp indeed. Mrs. Benhadi got a gold offer in the mail today for 15k.

Called AMEX today to ask for the 10k loyalty points. CSA put me on hold and came back after a few minutes. Was told that this was from "outbound team" and offered by upper management after review of card holders who had trouble with their accounts in the past, and was a "thank you" to them for...

Hi SpruceG, thanks for the tip. To be honest, i always prefer red-eye flights travelling in J, for long haul, so that i can sleep in the place and save one day. Arriving in the morning gives me a full day at my destination. I believe SYD-JNB on QF is a day flight, and the return is a night...

Many thanks serfty! Had a try on the expedia site as you suggested and unfortunately the seat maps for most of the bookings in J say "Available seats for this flight cannot be viewed at this time." But it shows up for Y though! But only displays from row 53 onwards in 3-4-3 config. Would...

G'day all, I'm planning a trip to South Africa next year, and was wondering what kind of aircraft they use. I've had a look at QF website, and they apparently use the 747-400 Longreach. It comes in 3 different configs. Thinking of burning some points in J. Did a dummy booking and no fares...

Hi futaris, i've had a look at the usairways promotion and it looks pretty sweet. Only thing is that i cannot tell from their *A award chart whether the burn rate is for return or one way. Are you able to advice on that? Many thanks. Benhadi

But the tradeoff is that the burn rates are ridiculously bad. At least for Asiana. Don't know about air canada though, are you able to give some insight into that futaris?

Got a few Q's re:744's, How does one find out which config will fly which route? I've made a redemption booking in J SYD-SFO next August for me and my mrs, and pre-selected row 17 A,B. I know being on the upper deck all of them have the same config, but would be useful to know for future...

So how come i get 2 copies every month? Mind you they get sent at different times as well, not together. Which probably corresponds with the different statement cycles perhaps? Anyhoo, if it's a glitch in the system, i hope it doesnt affect me coz i actually enjoy reading the T+L magazine...

I have both a plat charge and plat credit card. They've been sending me two copies every month, presumably one for each card i hold. (the credit card was a free card that comes with the charge card) Would this affect Plat charge holders as well?

Are you sure it's return? I had a look at their website and it doesn't say return - mind you it doesn't say one way either, but would make sense that redeeming VS points on VS metal would be cheaper than partner metal.

the reason i thought about crediting CC points is so that i can actually make up the amount to redeem anything. Otherwise, it would take me a while to gather enough points to utilise anything from asiana. But i think your plan is much better. I'll keep the CC points to use esewhere. 7 years...

Tanks serfty, very useful info indeed. I think i will go with Asiana. The only negative element to asiana is that i can't transfer any CC points to it, unlike SQ, TG or NZ.

You betcha! So i take it that it doesn't work for domestic flights?

how did you get it at that price? good saving compared to what they are stating on their website, or their online booking facility, which is giving a quote of $3635. I'm plannng a trip to HKG for 2 at the end of Oct/early Nov.

Hi everyone, I just made PS, ad was excited to be able to make seat selections online. I've got a flight coming up on 2/9 MEL-BNE. When i try to access my booking on QF website, it givs me an option to do "seat selection". So far so good. But then when i click on it, it gives me this...

Hoping to gain some good insight as to what would suit me best. A little bit of background: Usually MH and QF loyalist. Phasing out of MH now, just gained PS on QF. Will be taking some flights on SQ soon, and maybe NZ. My travel on *A will mostly be in J, but will not be frequent as...

isn't the sale already up? unless it's a sale on top of the sale!
