There always was a one-off joining fee. But it was often free to join. But AFAIK, there never been a annual fee. That seems to be confirmed even here: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/qantas-business-rewards-free-join/ So what's all this...

This is a updated (or almost repeat) of my previous TR last year: Philippine Airlines review. Business Class. SIN-MNL-MEL https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/philippine-airlines-review-business-class-sin-mnl-mel.110377/#post-2575097 There are still good business class...

Perhaps an odd quirk about Rollover Nights. I'm not sure I have this 100% correct. My current 2023 status is Diamond and my nights count is currently 54 earned nights and 1 Rollover Night from 2022 = 55 nights. To re-qualify, Diamond needs 60 nights. Gold needs 40 nights. If I stay 5 more...

I recently took 6 flights on Malaysia Airlines (MH), all in Business Class. It was basically a single MEL-BKK return ticket which transits KUL but currently gets a "free" (pay taxes only) domestic side trip offer in Malaysia. It cost just under AUD $3,800.00. All flights booked into MH Z...

This is a TR about travelling on SriLankan Airlines - UL - today. The Route: MEL-CMB-LHR, return, all on UL in Business Class. 1. MEL-LHR MEL-CMB UL605 16:10-22:25, duration: 10 hours 45 minutes. Stopover: 14 hours 40 minutes - hotel, transport, hotel meals provided (breakfast). CMB-LHR UL503...

SriLankan Airlines has a 3 day sale to "any" of their destinations. 44% off business class and 25% off economy class for travel 15th September to 30th November 2023. There's some good business class fares from Australia available. Eg MEL-LHR return is just over $4,000 in business class...

When I logon to the Qantas website, I get this: So I click the link but it doesn't tell me anything. I assume it's my missing Security questions? So I go to add them and get this: You need to give three security question answers. Or at least one! But then to the questions: I...

I couldn’t find too many reviews about Philippine Airlines (PR), so here is mine. There are some very good fares around for business class to/from Australia. My itinerary, SIN-MNL-MEL, in business class, priced at about $A1,200 on some days: —————————————————-— —————————————————— I paid more...

While I'm not sure about the MH A350-900, but I did travel on a MH A330-300 the other day and paid extra for an "extra leg room" seat that's available in rows 9 and 10. It's 36 inches legroom but with the same Y-class seat and width as the rest of Y-class in the usual 2-4-2 A330 Y-class...

This is essentially an IROPS TR. I was travelling on a Malaysia Airlines single booking ticket in Y-class internationally HKT-KUL, connecting to a domestic KUL-JHB flight. Both flights MH. On many days now there’s only one MH flight KUL-JHB. So miss your connection and you might be stuck at...

All over the media. Yet again: Eg: Jetstar passengers grounded on Alice Springs tarmac for seven hours Can't we do better in Australia? Can't a system allow some better way to handle genuine emergencies that don't leave hundreds of pax stranded on board a plane, on a tarmac, for 7 hours?

Later this week I’m taking (risking?) a rather odd route to get from KUL to MEL avoiding overnight flights. I think there’s a fair potential for many things to go wrong. But it might just work. Or at least most of it. I’m soon to find out! It’s 2 tickets and 3 flights. One flight on MH...

I thought to share some experiences about the current travel situation to Bali. This might not be like a regular TR. In fact I might not go at all! The final yes or no will be made in the next hours. The Route: MEL-DPS-MEL on nonstop JQ 787 business class flights (already not going to...

With Qantas Points Planes available in August 2022, this is a short trip report on travel to Noumea. The route is MEL-SYD-NOU-BNE-MEL. All flights are QF except for SYD-NOU which is SB (Aircalin). All in J.

Noticed that the ING Orange Everyday free ATM withdrawals (domestic and international) are now limited to 5 in a qualifying month. Still I good benefit I suppose. Not as good as it used to be.

I was looking at Qantas domestic flights Melbourne to Dubbo. You must fly via Sydney (T3). Curiously, a MEL-DBO through connect (same day) ticket costs $20 more than two separate MEL-SYD and SYD-DBO bookings for the exact same flights (January 2022). Anyone know why? Using mutli-city booking...

I thought it might be a big mistake for them. But their new songs are actually pretty good. And they use technology that allows them to perform as they looked in the 1970s. "I Still Have Faith In You". With some help from Qantas and Ansett: Qantas: Ansett: And Frida singing as in...

As noted in another thread about banking issues, Citibank are sending emails and identical letters in the post to some customers requesting that "original certified copies of ID documents are mailed to them". They want these documents by 30th June 2021 else they might suspend (block) the...

I've flown QFi long haul many times in F, J, PE and Y. I couldn't find too much information on what's actually currently served in Y on flights to and from North America. I recently flew QF49 MEL-SFO (B787) and QF94 LAX-MEL (A380), both in Y. These are pretty long flights. Here are the...

I haven't seen this discussed here. I saw this earlier this week at Singapore T1, beside the Emirates lounge:
