I think if these CR+ earnt SC's or even half SC's they'd be far more appealling. Then again i feel these are aimed at Points Club and not FFer's with status.

Look a refurb of the Dash8's would be fine as well..... It's been rare though for me to actually ever fly on the Dash8 flight i actually booked so i'm wondering if the frequency is a bit of a false economy. I've read things have improved though, so guessing instead of full Dash8's with...

Oh i agree, except you'd think the Syd-CBR routes could be smaller jets. I love them if the seat next to me is vacant.... but lately they've been full and while there has been less cancellations..... the Y extra legroom seats on the A220 might be my new preference.

yeah and i'm flying J, but curious to see the difference in the legroom seats in Y. I'd pay the asking price for those normally and also more likely to fly Int ex-MEL if the A220's fly this route and the Dash-8's don't get replaced/refurbed to Sydney. I think they could have kept the 717's to...

Flying on the A220 thursday in J from CBR to MEL. Hoping to get the green Minyma Kutjara Tjukurpa version, is that flying the CBR-MEL route? I think they still only have the 2 A220's... for now.

Flying CBR-MEL-TPE-HKG-MEL-CBR on a J Qantas ticket as a Qantas Gold. MEL-TPE on China Airlines. The rest on QF and CX. The skyteam site says in Melbourne, China Airlines business class uses the Marhaba lounge, Qantas site says Gold with a QF flight number has access to QF int Business lounge...

Me too, albeit luckily in J to connect to Int J to Taiwan.

I miss LATAM the most out of those. I do remember a Reward ticket on Malev once. Frankfurt to Bucharest via Budapest. Looking forward to Oman Air joining,

We've always been able to claim duty free. The stupid thing with this rule is instead of buying from a local retailer and supporting an aussie business, they are basically pushing us to just buy overseas. Take it out of the box and 99% of the time they would even know you are bringing it back in.

I always think its pretty easy to earn points with CC churns and other deals. That said anyone who is LTG would most likely find them useless given how high the LTP bar is set. Anyone else i'd say go for SC's, you may not be chasing staus now.... but things change and you won't be able to...

Try updating the app and if there are no updates, i restarted my phone and i then got the update come through.

I've got the email, but the app isn't showing. I'm doing the old windows trick of rebooting my apple phone as it also said it was updated. Hopefully will work. Thankfully, my membership year starts this month but have CBR-SYD-JNB (edit... yes JoBurg) coming up in a few weeks. Still as thats...

I mean the $30 isn't an issue. As a Gold I'm not always getting an up front row on these dash 8 flights either. In fact I complained to Qantas on a full flight the person i was sitting next to was half in my seat..... Now i'm a solid guy also, so have empathy for this person, they needed the 2...

Its also not worth the effort of chasing every single person who claims just over the $900 at TRS either. The change to this was just stupidity to appease a few billionaires like Gerry Harvey. Who knows one day they may clamp down on it, but they really are relying on people being honest...

I have an issue with the word value when we talk about FF points. What we really mean is the monetary cost. Its like buying a car, you can pay $30k or $100k for a car. which one provides better value? Same for plane flights, are business class seats better value than economy seats. Now I do...

I guess the way I look at these things is how will it affect me if i miss the flight. Do I have enough money to pay for another ticket if i had to or pay for a hotel and do I want to take that risk. Outbound i'm more likely to have a 4+ hour transit, inbound i'm less risk averse as for me i'm...

Not til September, but seats are slowly getting more expensive.

there is still 2 weeks of March to go :-) Usually the DSC promo drops without much notification if any.

I used the T1 to T3 bus a few months ago and was with a few people from Perth who had never transited Sydney inbound, off the flight from Santiago. they thought it was relatively painless, its a bit of a walk to the bus, but I'd do that over the train. You'll get your bags rechecked and get...

Yeah SC's for me, still have a way to go to LTG. Not really sure Green is worth it for the 10,000 points IMO. But i guess if you are LTG with no hope of LTP like most of us, points would be more useful. I'd probably stop caring about green tier after i reach LTG though.
