I hahve connecting sectors with MH, and that dones't jive with EK obviously. Maybe I'll hit up MH for Platinum status match. That would make it easy!

Think I could show EK# for lounge access, but credit to QF?

Flying SIN-SYD-BNE / BNE-SIN on QF#, booked in J. I'm LTG with QF, but I'm also EK Platinum. Would EK Plat status get me into QF F in SIN? I don't care about missing out on status credits (as lifetime), and at this point EK miles are more valuable than QF points to me. I'm wondering if there...

You are flying Air France. You are not flying with Qantas or oneworld. so it doesn't matter who you book it through. Qantas is essentially your travel agent in this scenario (and nothing more). All that to say that if you're not on a QF flight number, you're out of luck. P1/CL may still get...

Anyone earning 1685 status credits is unlikely to be doing that only in economy class, and the non-VA flying suggests high intl frequency. With the above assumptions, and applying the VA logic of 'we only want high spending domestic travellers'. I'd probably drop Velocity and stop flying VA...

I keep miles in SQ because I know that I'll burn at least X in the next 3 years. Those miles are not going up in value by sitting in Amex, and transferring out during a bonus period makes it even more worthwhile to warehouse in airline vs bank. On a separate not of interest for everyone.. Not...

I like the logic. Cash ticket would also earn miles, so I'd net those out, along with taxes that are included in cash fares vs awards. I'm reminded that the overwhelming vast majority of folks redeeming for biz/first, would never pay cash for that cabin. So the 'value' is distorted on both the...

Am I the only person in the world who doesn't jive with GC seats? - They are sloped beds - The zero gravity thing basically means the seat shakes a lot - Nowhere to elevate your feet except when flat - Main screen IFE too far away Give me a380 F seat any day over GC F.

It's one way to expense the trips you would otherwise would be paying with post-tax money!

The bigger youtubers are (mostly) all friends and talk to each other regularly. The idea is - they all take a unique approach as to not overlap with each others style. This grows the available audience instead of competing against each other for your attention. A standard "flight review" video...

Catastrophic is a plane crash with loss of life. Basic data being shown to someone who isn't authorised is not. You may also consider what a fine will achieve. Will it prevent someone at a call centre from ever being socially engineered again? Unlikely. Will it prevent the next big Australian...

Qantas has more people with CEO titles than any other airline in the world. Then there's the layer underneath those CEO's with commercial titles. Then operational ones.... The org is extraordinarily top-heavy compared to other airlines, and thus, many targets to go after before the board...

Tell me - what should the board have done to avoid this? I've never met an airline that didn't have fking insanely strict protocols, policies, procedures, ongoing training, MDM, PC management. QF call center, mobile phones are not even allowed on the floor. QF also has a culture of safety (more...

free credit monitoring might be the biggest scam in all of this...

6M.....represents anyone who has had new bag tags issued?

Got the email as well. I've flown Qantas once in the past 6 years. One call to the contact center in 2023. No points transfers in to QF, no QBR, wine or anything else. Ready to roll

I've gone through many airline security assessments, and they're insane. Much more difficult than non-airlines. One must remember that 'safety' is a subjective concept. There is no such thing as 'safe' or 'not safe'. There are only standards, procedures, policies, training, etc. Nothing is...

The strategy behind KF+ is extraordinarily brilliant, and is also why stores won't directly give miles.

Funny how everyone says <whatever program they have status in> is their favourite. I find it hard to go past citizenM when travelling solo. No points, no status, no upgrades. You know exactly what you're going to get, and there is guaranteed 2pm checkout.

My tips: - NEVER leave luggage unattended, even in first-class lounges. - Lock bags before going to bathrooms in lounges if you don't want to haul it with you and possibly lose your seat. - Put everything inside your carry on, and LOCK it BEFORE going through security. - Your carry on bag...
