I've really been struggling to figure this out from available information so wanted to see if the collective AFF wisdom had any experience with this. Delta "Main Cabin" within the US of course doesn't have a free checked baggage allowance, nor does it state on your reservation how many bags you...

So it’s been a while since my last trip report as I haven’t been flying all that much since the arrival of the Jnr DJfs, but due to a few circumstances coinciding and the right combination of points and availabilities, I’ve managed to arrange a trip that allows me to tick off a few items from my...

JQ pax stranded on tarmac at HNL for 4 hours in 'dangerous' conditions Jetstar passengers trapped in Hawaii Not to unfairly single out JQ, but it does seem like this sort of thing is not as infrequent as you'd hope at some US airports - they even did a 30 Rock episode about it. Pax seem to...

[EDIT] Apparently the song is called 'Atlas'. Surprised no one's posted this yet: Qantas - You’re the reason we fly http://www.theage.com.au/travel/travel-news/daniel-johns-gets-on-board-as-qantas-replaces-iconic-i-still-call-australia-home-anthem-20120720-22dxx.html#comments I think it's a...

Sacha Baron Cohen (aka Admiral General Aladeen, ruler of the Republic of Wadiya) seems to have arrived in town last night to promote 'The Dictator' as this fetching photo of him wearing 'customised' J PJs accompanied by his 'bodyguards' came in over the twitters... Im in AUS. I flew Qantas...

Despite visiting HKG quite a few times, I've never actually been over to Macau. Am trying to plan a trip for my folks who were keen on checking it out for a least a day trip (they are staying in Tsim Sha Tsui). I gather they need to take a ferry from the China Ferry Terminal, which seems...

A thought occurred to me which, despite some cursory searching through AFF / FT / QFF I haven't been able to get a good answer to - Given that ASAs can book in to both award and revenue fare buckets, is it possible to earn points / miles in a program other than QFF following such a booking? For...

Sorry to replicate a thread, but the old one (http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/american-airlines-advantage/adding-qf-ff-details-aa-22815.html) has been closed due the passage of time. Had previously thought it possible to replace AA number with QF number in MMB / BP, but was...

Just a question regarding booking made through third parties that don't provide an option for adding baggage at the time of booking (info on the VA website is not quite clear on this): - First, is it possible to add baggage allowances to a booking through VA's website once a booking has...

With all the recent changes, have been considering booking DJ / VA for an upcoming trip to Bali, however am not 100% sure about a couple of things: - My understanding of the Lounge T&Cs is that there is no Koru Club access on DJ flights to Bali, and this has not changed despite the transition...

After scoring empty rows 3 on refitted 738s a number of times, the first time I paid for PE we happened to get a non-refitted 737, oversold with schoolies headed to OOL and I think we may possibly have been the only paid pax as the FA made a point to welcome everyone and explain their kind op-up...

Thinking about arranging an F lounge visit again soon (while I still can!), but I can't seem to find any recent posts with any updates of what's on the F lounge all-day dining menu these days? Anyone have any information or recommendations they can point me in the direction of? Many thanks in...

Okay, this is amusing on so many levels... Dale Watson's Tiger Airways Blues Song To Be Released On YouTube I do feel sorry for him - annoying that whoever made his travel arrangements in Australia (assuming it wasn't him) didn't put him on any other airline given all the stuff he needed to...

Mystery rat pack plagues Qantas Well, I'm torn - anything that accelerates the departure of the 767s from the fleet is to my mind a good thing (notwithstanding the hope that their replacement is a good, modern aircraft - whatever that may be); but this surely couldn't have been pleasant for...

Qantas Dallas-Brisbane 747 flight forced to land for more fuel Not sure there's any basis in the QF quotes to claim that they're 'assessing' the route, but interesting nonetheless if this kind of thing does become regular whether the return leg needs to be rethought as a sort of...

I know many fellow AFFers have a penchant for Tumi luggage, which I'd more than happily share with them if I could stomach the price tag - but a step removed, I've always been a massive fan of Crumpler bags, casual as they may look, and am pretty excited to check out their new dedicated luggage...

There appears to be some sort of check-in problem with QF in MEL. No room to move or figure out which queue is which. Would post pics but can't. No more international connections desk. Even the premium queue is a convoluted unidentifiable mess. The fruits of NGCI.

So for a variety of reasons following the birth of Baby Djf, we had been planning a brief trip away with him – far down on that list was Mrs Djf’s WP requal which had been put off for some time after missing out on booking during the double SC promo (and which still hasn’t come through, thanks...

A380s out for summer peak period Note that nowhere in the article is there any statement from Qantas that suggests the conclusion drawn by the author / sub-editor and that is stated as fact in the headline, other than the schedule changes for the next few weeks. Credible speculation, or...

One of Alanslegal’s posts in the other monster thread got me thinking – In light of the imminent end of anytime access and the various responses to how bad / great it is that it’s going, I figured it would be interesting to see how (and how many) WPs actually used this benefit. Some...
