    Doing a redemption from Asia to Europe via Doha and vice versa

    I think that it's probably a limitation on VA's booking system. I've previously called up to successfully have CPH-DOH and DOH-MEL (both in J and with a ~8 hour layover in DOH) put onto the one ticket and priced correctly as CPH-DOH-MEL. Assuming there are no issues with married segments, you...

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    An interesting deal on Qantas Wines at the moment. Spend $650 by 31 January and get a voucher for use on QF33 or QF34 to/from CDG until 31 March. Discount is $300 for Y, $400 for PE or $800 for J.

    MyCard - worth keeping??

    Well, you get free travel insurance too. You'd need to crunch the numbers to work out how much you put through the card, how many points that generates and whether your replacement 'keeper' card would generate sufficient additional points to justify the annual fee you'd now pay. For me at my...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    Woolworths thinks that, as I've completed two $65-ish spends as part of the four week spend offer, I'll suddenly up my spending to $130 for 800 points. Errr... how about 'no'? Also got 450 points for a $15 spend on freezer products.

    Accor stays to Qantas Points discrepancies?

    Not yet. But the disclaimer says the points can take up to six weeks to drop, so I'm waiting for a couple more weeks as I suspect I'll just be told to wait if I file an enquiry before then.

    Nice! But don't forget no QFF status credits on awards as they're under the EK codes...

    Repositioning cruises from Japan to Alaska/Canada

    Not sure about other lines, but HAL has Starlink now and it's pretty good. HAL offers three tiers: Surf (only through Have it All), Premium and Stream. I've always had Premium and it works well enough for Youtube (and is listed as supporting wifi calling too, although I've never used it). I've...

    Cash fare manipulation - Europe?

    I've been looking at fares ex-KUL while planning how to bookend a transatlantic cruise I have in 2027. While QR is available, KUL also has ~$3.7k fares on CX to much of Europe with 200SCs each way (so slightly better than QR out of CGK in that regard which has 160SCs each way, and no visa is...

    TG/KQ MEL-KGL US$1074 Business class return

    Sometimes error fares are honoured, but usually not. It's like anything else in business - obvious errors don't have to be honoured.

    TG/KQ MEL-KGL US$1074 Business class return

    If booking through an OTA, there's no difference regarding cancellations and changes to booking direct (if that 11AM flight is now 12PM, it's changed for everyone!). When making adjustments following changes/cancellations though, airlines typically won't touch the ticket until about 24h before...

    Big Devaluation for Qantas Rewards on Emirates First Class from February 18.

    You face the same availability issues with EK though. Occasionally, they'll drop a lot of flights ex-Australia in F, but not reliably so. Just noticed that you can get NH for sub-$6k in J ex-SYD to ARN - not exactly Toilet Airways (although they do have bidets in their toilets ;) )...

    Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

    It was showing up as being delivery only at some locations (not mine unfortunately, but I shouldn't be dropping that sort of cash on champagne anyway - this is what trips to CHC in EK F are for ;) ). You just need to play around with delivery addresses until it pops up, then have it delivered...

    Big Devaluation for Qantas Rewards on Emirates First Class from February 18.

    332.6k points return (plus about $2k in cash), meaning that for not much more than one way in EK F, you could do QF J return to Europe (assuming you could find them or were a WP and have them opened up).

    Big Devaluation for Qantas Rewards on Emirates First Class from February 18.

    CZ, MU, AY, WY, TK, MH and VN are some of the carriers that sell J ex-Australia in the $6-$7k range. (In the case of Chinese carriers, sometimes far less.) Heck, you can fly EK F out of CGK and other SE Asian ports on cash tickets from under $8k. But my bigger point is that 1. points are often...

    Manila/Seoul to Europe, J business class airfares in spring

    Never tried either. However, I presume that you mean MIAT Mongolian for the flights through UBN? Saudia is dry, if boozing on is of concern.
