    Trying local cuisine - how adventurous are you?

    I have had a few culinary adventures. My first overseas trip had an overnight layover in Seoul. Conveniently a friend of mine was there at the same time. We found a restaurant, wandered in and pointed to the menu blindly. A plate came out with raw veggies and meat and we were about to tuck in...

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    I wound up booking DPS-xKUL-SIN as it had the shortest flight times and reasonable layover time and was at the price advertised. As a reference point, I also saw flights to Kota Kinabalu and Miri for the same price which would i believe would nab 240 SC. Hope that helps and @sbor90 thank you for...

    Thanks so much. We went for Wednesday in the end. I thought that 6 hours in a 737 wasn't the best Valentine's Day gift!

    Seat map prior to booking?

    Okie dokie thanks for confirming, I appreciate it. I think we might have just roll the dice and cross our fingers that the blocked seats appear in the manage my booking section, or that loads are low enough that we get a shadow.

    Seat map prior to booking?

    So I called up QF to ask these questions as well. The agent had no idea about the blocked seats question and was insistent it wasn't a thing and that rows 4-8 were blocked in their entirety for Platinum 1 etc. Unless how QF have changed their rules since I last flew, I would say she is talking...

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    Has anyone done an immediate turnaround at LGK? I have been through the airport before and it seems straight forward. My only worry is getting the ticket before take off and getting past the ticket checker at security.

    Suggestions for intra-EU (HAM to AYT)

    From what i can see direct flights are charter airlines such as Condor which probably won't be what you're looking for in experience and a value for money sense. Lufthansa and Turkish each fly the route and they're Singapore Airlines partners, perhaps they would be worth using points on (someone...
