Theoretically if you purchased a domestic J fare, let’s say for QF or VA could you gain lounge access then cancel the booking for a full refund. Would it make a difference if you checked in or not? Would you even need to check in to get access to lounge? Can you cancel a J booking after...

I still have a bunch of AA points saved from the days of bonus points for transfers when everyone in the family managed to get an account. I used the Guam/South pacific loophole in 2014 and 2016. Where collectively I managed to get 8-10 flights on both occasions for the South Pacific to South...

I’m a bigger guy and usually fly up the pointy end but I’m having to fly jetstar for the first time in a while. Looking at the new neo seat map has anyone flown Row 28? It seems like the best bet to ensure I’m less likely to encroach on others? Anyone flown on this row or have any other...

I prebooked flights for the AFL granny if port won. They clearly stunk up the joint tonight. Booked 18/8, travel for 25/9 return 26/9 I think the lowest class of fare. Not flex. Any tricks to getting my money back or just stuck with a travel credit in the name of the person who has booked...

What is going on with the delta redemptions at the moment? I booked one over the phone the other day that they told me was business class (LAX > SYD) but the points were coming up as 127,500 instead of the usual 95,500. They actually refunded me the 32,000 pts difference but it turns out the...

“Hypothetically” if AA issued an award and then forgot to take the points out of the account, what action should one take? A) Hold out and hope for the best? B) Call up and ensure the correct amount of points are deducted? C) Alternative course of action? .....asking for a friend ;) The...

Hey guys. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case anyone was looking to refund an existing award booking. As we all know Qantas will do it with a 5,000 points fee per booking and will refund all of your taxes. However for those credit card hoppers like myself, be careful because Qantas will...

Hey guys. Just completed a trip to Japan (AA award) in J and routed back through Manila for a night (awful decision, really disliked Manila) and boarding was delayed about 15 minutes then at the gate the Qantas ground crew announced that the reason they were delayed is that the IFE has stopped...

Hey guys, After about 10 years worth of points hoarding for Qantas my folks are finally going to use them for a cruise in europe in Sep 2016. They have accumulated 686,000 and placed them in one account, as I am the designated family travel aficionado it has come down to me to make the booking...

Hi there, I'm looking at possibly booking a trip to chicago in October. Just checking with the new AAdvantage rules for Award Travel. From Australia to USA is it still possible to route via asia (have done this previously with OW using USDM points before the full merger). Or if I am booking...

Hey guys, I have my 5th USDM J Award trip coming up on Tuesday and my very first on Oneworld carriers. Routing: ADL-BNE-HKG-NYC-ORD-MSP MSP-ORD-HKG-SIN-KUL-ADL I have a 10h layover in HKG and a 15h overnight layover in NYC. (going to attempt to make it in to see a show at the comedy cellar)...

Why show me availablity in business/first class if EVERY flight has a little 'i' asterisk advising me most of the sectors are in economy. Getting really frustrated looking for oneworld availability! Should I shell out and pay for a third party system? What do you guys recommend?

Regretting not booking a second trip before the merger. Great value and great destination! Highly recommend to anyone awaiting their GUM booked trip!

Hey guys, I have a gift voucher for flight experience this Saturday and have to pick a couple of airports to take off and land at. I am open to suggestions to which might make a good choice and why? Cheers,

Hi all, After spending about 3 years stocking up on, studying and trying to get my head around US Airways and the Star Alliance booking methods, websites, loopholes, and the like, and getting very familiar with them, I am now faced with the reality that my beloved US Airways points will soon be...

Hey guys, Just looking for some advice from those that have possibly done a day trip in Cairo. I have a long trip back from the USA in J coming up and almost 9 hours to kill at Cairo airport. (Sandwiched between 12 hours flying from the USA and 8 hours flying to BKK). Touch down 3:05pm depart...

Hi guys, Quick question, I organised my parents some Business Class flights to and from Europe for a cruise utilising US Airways 100% bonus points promotion. I was keen to find out if it was possible to gain access to the Virgin Lounge in ADL if you are flying Business Class with Singapore...

Hey guys, keen to find out if anyone has had success with a BRG with Hilton? I booked a room for 2 nights, Hilton Anaheim 12-14th Oct, for $139 on hilton.com Half an hour later I noticed the rate on expedia.com.au was $100 per night, :shock: booked that also. Put in a BRG form stating the...

Hi guys, I have attempted to get my head around the car hire insurance policies of the companies in the USA and I am getting the run-around, I am not sure if it is my accent or the fact they don't use the same terms as we do like 'excess' or whatever but I just cant get a straight answer from...

Any AFL dream team players out there? I wonder if we should start a league for AFF-ers. I have a couple of league spots free. If you think it is a good idea let me know and I'll start a league and post the code. -NC
