    Extremely Cheap Etihad Business Class MNL-Italy-SE Asia

    Easy to say, but if you have a lot hanging off it in wherever EY is taking you, then it's not a simple decision. For example, if you've paid for a cruise ex Rome (Civitaveccia), then cancelling the flight might not be the best option. I think the poster may just have to wear the change and be...

    Card payment sucharges banned in Australia from 2026

    Ah well, it's a tough business, and they may not be around next week. Buyer beware.

    Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

    I don't think you can do that with an Intl 330. The seats just show as blocked. Full stop.

    Japan Airlines blocking Premium Economy ex-SYD

    So they can just walk into a high paying job here?

    Which flight to book with Rewards

    Why would you not go for the cheaper points flight? When overnighting at MNL T3, I usually stay at the Savoy hotel. Within walking distance and quite good quality and rates. No point in going downtown, unless you're after something else.

    Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

    I'm not seeing any of that as I only have bookings in J or on the Dash-8. But the big question for me is, can I select the bulkhead row on a 330. Never been able to do that. Would make a huge difference to me.

    Do you travel with young kids in Business Class?

    We took our kids everywhere in J from age 5 onwards. They are now so blase about it (in their 40's) that they don't bother with flying much at all these days. Earthly things are more important to them and I think that's a good thing. The only flying nutcase in our family is me, and I'm a dying...

    Seats.aero - a useful tool for finding Qantas & Velocity reward availability

    It's a bit of a work in progress, but it's the best I can find.

    Australian Dual Citizens Entering UK after February

    Things must be getting serious. Over dinner this evening, my wife mentioned that she probably should renew her lapsed UK passport, "just in case". She has no planned trips to the UK, but has read all the noise in the press. I agreed that she should (it's not expensive, and will get you into...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    I'm assuming someone else is paying for this travel.

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

    Book mistake fares at your own risk. I never do. Why put yourself though all that hassle (for a few imaginary $$$)?

    Virgin CBR-SYD flights restarting

    I always go for 3A. Has a bit of a view and you're not intimate with the FA or a wall.

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    Well, VA no longer sends me any email (my wife gets plenty as a Red member). Must have been something I said. Virtually no SC's earned in current year, so will become Gold in a few months time, Not worth anything to me as a UA Plat. Unless VA change their Velocity program substantially, I...

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    Spot on. If I wanted to go to Paris, I wouldn't fly Qantas in any class. Not competitive (unless you want to fly nonstop from PER and price isn't important to you).

    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    Ah yes, that brings back memories. I worked at Longbenton in the late 1960's as a computer programmer with MPNI, and have also had a few dealings with them as a client. It seems that things have only gone downhill since I worked there (and it was far from perfect then).

    Article: Things Jetstar Does & Doesn’t Do Well

    Perhaps time to reconsider Scoot Plus. Cheaper by far and similar seat. And they're flying the 788 to SYD with only 3 rows of Plus (I've booked one for May). Just pay for your F&B if you want more than the basic offering. OK, no lounge access, but that's why you have PP, and the PP lounges at...

    So you are implying that transit security is closed at that time?

    Article: Platinum With One Airline Vs Gold With Two: Which Is Better?

    I'm not sure how you have come to that conclusion. I don't think I am paying more, but perhaps you could explain why I am.

    Article: Platinum With One Airline Vs Gold With Two: Which Is Better?

    Well, for me, under the current circumstances, Platinum with QF would be far superior to Gold with both. Apart from the fact that VA have made attaining Platinum far too expensive for what is offered, my lifetime Star Gold with UA provides lounge access for VA in any case. I do think VA have...
