    Does this mean it had to dump fuel prior to landing?

    BA NCW vs QF J (A380) vs QF J (744/A332)

    Hi all, With the QF 2-for-1 sale on J, i'm planning to get a return ticket for 2 from AUS (any port on the east coast) to SIN. Trying to compare QF's A380 vs their 744 as i understand they have different products. Also on BA's 777 that flies the SIN-SYD route. I understand they are...

    MH Super Specials Finish 31/1/09 - MH to slash Fuel Levies 1/2/09

    Pardon my ignorance, but what do Enrich members gain out of it? What difference would it make to them with the "restuctured" fare?

    10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions

    My attitude towards AMEX is going to be this: I've fulfilled my part of the bargain, in the spirit of the promotion and maximised the use of my card on the promise that they would reward me with points as incentive. Just like everyone else, AMEX isn't the most widely accepted card around...

    Lifetime Qantas Club Membership

    Playing devil's advocate here But Qantas has in recent months introduced Business Lounges. And QC is not allowed in them. One could suspect that it's the beginning of an attempt to squeeze QC members of their benefits, what more if they eventually close down all the QC around the country...

    10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions

    Guilty until proven innocent eh? They didn't bother to specify how they came to that conclusion? Good one AMEX. I suppose desperate people resort to desperate measures. They'll have a lot of problem explaining to the ombudsman if it comes to that. They run a promotion to increase card...

    AMEX can and is definitely entitled to change to T&C, but they have to do it PROSPECTIVELY with adequate notice. You can't offer something, expect everyone to act on the basis of your offer in good faith, and then turn around saying "too bad, changed our minds" (i.e. retrospective change). If...

    Somehow it doesn't feel so bad knowing that i'm not the only one. Hope points would start posting this week. Been waiting too long for it. Just out of curiosity, what kinda amex do you have?

    My situation: No card, registered ONCE for the 5T/5k pre-19th, confirmed multiple times over telephone that i'm in the unlimited group. two lots of 5000 bonus points in september, then nothing since. Not POC'd either. Never received any correspondence in the mail from AMEX re...

    Aust to UK - best economy class airlines??

    I don't know which port you'll be flying out of, but have yo uconsidered airasia X? They've got new A330s now, and i *think* you will be able to secure XL seats (i.e. their version of business class) for around the same price as economy on a full-service airline. Even if it's more expensive...

    Comparison of BA v QF First and Business Classes

    Are you refering to the old club world or the NEW club world? I've read in trip reports that the NCW is much bigger than the old one. One question - for BOTH QF and BA J, do the armrests position flush with the seat when they are in the lying position (therefore "widening" the torso area)...

    Comparison of BA v QF First and Business Classes

    How much wider is the Skybed compared to the New Club World? In practical terms (not objective measurements given by the airline). Taking into account the arm-rests etc. What abt the new QF J in the 380? How does that compare with the NCW?

    MH Upgrades

    Will cost 30k enrich points from AKL to KUL each way...wo return will cost 60k points. Chances of getting it depends on your time of travel. There's been some changes to the way Enrich operates...so best to call them and find out if there are any redemption seats available. Generally...

    Accor A|Club

    How long do we get to remain Gold for? Do we have to "re-qualify" each year to maintain it? If not, does it drop back to Silver? I'm hoping that this is a permanent gold...but something tells me that's not the case.

    Platinum Amex CC: 30000 MR Points on $1000 spend

    Same scenario for me. Have received the card but not activated it yet. Called them up about it after i saw this thread, BEFORE i received the card, but they told me it had been approved and sent out in the mail. I told them abt the online offer, said they'll see what they can do and call me...

    10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions

    Re: 10000 points per day, and 100 Transactions per week The way i see it, AMEX started this promotion for one purpose - to get ppl to spend. The bonus MR points is an incentive to get us to do just that. Doesn't really matter if we spend in 100 times in 1 shop, or once in 100 shops...

    10,000 bonus points per 20 transactions

    can't seem to access their new T&C...crashed so soon? Can somebody kindly post the link to the new T&C? I suspect mine's a dud. Thanks. ADDIT - link working fine now. Got the new T&C. I must say i am very pleased. AMEX has done the right thing, although it took a while.
