To go further, as HK Airlines is flying within the same IATA sub-area, but Qantas is the first carrier crossing it, it would be Qantas' rules. https://help.qantas.com/support/s/article/most-significant-carrier

IME, you can just log in with your Skywards number; i.e. you no longer need to have the number attached to your booking. Flying DXB-BCN in May (assuming war with Iran hasn't broken out or similar). Fortunately, the plane's been upgraded to a refurbished one with PE. Not looking forward to...

I think that at its core, VA's loyalty team forgot it's a small-ish domestically-focused mid-tier airline with several ad hoc airline partnerships with varying degrees of recognition of VA members. Simply put, they need to make it easier - much easier - to obtain status than Qantas given Qantas'...

I was looking at MEL-BNE-AKL return when the sale was on as I was toying with doing a status run to get WP. The Business Saver fares priced at $2.1k then and $2.1k now. :) But must... resist... I can't justify well over $2k just to get access to a few Flounges and a few other niceties (it...

I presume that's heading deep into the heart of cowboy country? EDIT Mind you, you'd need almost 500K points if it's the one I think you're referring to. PQQ-AKL can be done for about $2K all-in.

You'd need cash fares. You'll need to do a lot of flying to get 190 SCs (x2) through PC (or fluke a return flight to Europe in J). https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/earn-points/airline-earning-tables/classic-flight-rewards.html

PQQ-AKL via SYD, MEL or BNE in J will probably do the trick.

Yes, Suncorp resold white label Citi credit cards.

I’m assuming so.

My flight in May from MEL-SYD now shows the same. Wonder if it's the default now for all A321N flights regardless of the true loo situation?

Not yet - still a few more weeks per the T&Cs (up to 8 weeks from 31 Jan, so may not arrive until near the end of March).

Getting all the business class perks (except for the seat on the plane itself obviously) when travelling economy. Lounge, priority boarding, priority check-in, priority luggage, better seat selection (on most airlines anyway - looking at you MH!) etc. For daytime flights, it enables me to save...

Yes - points are credited on shipping.

Wine is always the answer!

Points buyers should note the Blue Pyrenees mixed packs are back. https://wine.qantas.com/p/mixed-blue-pyrenees-premium-red-six/MIX2503027 24450 points for $450 at 1.84cpp (25215 points for $405 at 1.61cpp for PCP).

Try using Kayak or Skyscanner. EDI-LHR-MAD-PMI (filtering Oneworld only, and 2+ stops) yields the best results. e.g. out 7/10, back 14/10 is 340 quid bookable through Expedia UK.

I’ve been playing around with these and the best bet with UK-Spain status runs is to start in secondary UK ports and head to airports in Spain where there is a non-stop LCC connection, connecting in London and Madrid on the way. Ex-Spain, prices can be high. Something like...

$120/800 points, $25/250 points for freezer products and a handful of 10x points. Nope... Aldi and the market beckon.

Oz launch fares are up. MEL-KUL-BAH-LGW starts from $389 PER-KUL-BAH-LGW starts from $309 Best I could see was $953 return sans add-ons. ~26 hours over, 33 hours back. Breathe in and pocket the savings? I probably wouldn't but each to their own.

Nah - not until the end of October, so happy to wait a week or two. Now (ironically) don't need the SCs, but will take them anyway. Helps get that smidgen closer to LTS and then on to LTG...
