    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 ;) )...

    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.

    Do I earn Qantas status credits on my MH Econ Flex ticket?

    I was looking at flights to KUL and noticed this nasty quirk the other week. This is one of the booking classes (like some on CX) that doesn't earn points or SCs. Probably best to credit the points to another program (use FQTV to credit points to that program, while using FQTS to use status...

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

    New award table. (The time EK spent as at the same rate as QF awards has been vanishingly small.) The big plus of restricting F to PS and above is less competition for awards, meaning they'll be there if I want them. But now it's going to cost even more points in F, and there's still no...

    Citi cards become myCard - no more CX, KF, EY, QR from 16/11/25

    You have to log into MyCard, then go to the rewards site under your card (redeem points) and there's an option to autoenrol in Velocity under the 'points transfer' bit.

    Pass (again!). Best I could spy was Coldstream Hills reserve pinot noir for $43 shipped as a bud, but there are other, better buys for that sort of money through other channels if I play my cards right... (Search on 'View Options' to show the ones with a single bottle option.)
