Howdy I'm 280 points away from reaching Platinum. My recycle date is the 29th Feb. I need to do a points run. Suggestions please on best points per dollar. Destination is irrelevant as I'll just land and catch the next flight back.

We are flying on separate bookings on the same flight syd-sin. Both in Prem economy. I'm gold, she is bronze I dont care where I sit, but my wife does so if I put in an upgrade request and get it, am I able to initially take my seat in business, but after take off let my wife sit in business...

Surf Air is launching a "all you can fly" model on the west coast of the US this summer. All-You-Can-Fly Airline Surf Air To Launch In California This Summer Wondering if such a service could exist in Aus? Maybe called country air running regional flights say between dubbo, Bathurst wagga and...

Is it really worth paying an extra $1000 to fly on Qantas for Syd-LA-YVR? Yes Air China is a longer trip and stops overnight in Beijing. They haven't hit any hills since 2002, so that's gotta be a positive.

Hi all Our daughter is off on her 1 year safari this friday to South America. She is on a Qantas code share with Lan. Qantas international baggage allowance states 2 pieces with each piece not exceeding 23kg (economy pax with no status). But domestically she is only allowed one piece. As she is...

So we cancelled our planned Japan trip for the holidays over the weekend due to the earthquake situation. We got a full refund from Qantas. So now we're planning to visit HK next week. My wife says Royal Brunei have cheap flights at $700 return from Mel. Doesn't matter if it's ex Syd or Ex Mel...

Hi All Today marked my 112th flight for the year and I also hit 2100 SC's for the year with my anniversary date not due to hit until the 29th of Feb 2011. So I've now got a Partner Gold to deal with. My wife travels about twice a year so that would be of no use to her. Every other family...

Noticed yesterday at CBR airport that a Air NZ 747 was parked over at Fairburn. Unless the NZ PM was in town, I wonder what it was doing there? Landing a 747 at Canberra must be an experience considering the length of the runway, wouldn't want a full load on takeoff!

Hi All My regular driver has let me down one too many times in terms on on departure performance, so I'm putting out a tender for my business. Need a reliable driver to run me in between Tulla and the city approx 2 days a week. Anyone provide me with a reliable service?

Going to be passing through F lounge in a few weeks time this time with Mrs and sprog in tow. Sprog is now 14 and booked as an adult fare yet we can't simply leave her sitting in the airport by herself whilst we go into the F lounge as I'm only allowed 1 guest into F lounge. I guess it...

Hi All Have got a SYD-BKK-HEL-CDG-VDD-HEL-BKK-SYD trip booked in August through BA/Finnair. I can select seats on the BKK-SYD leg at the end of the trip through BA.com but cannot change seats on the initial SYD-BKK leg. Any ideas as to why this might be? I would have thought I would...

I'm WP but am approaching lifetime silver (70sc to go). What happens when I reach this goal? Does Qantas send me out a letter or some sort of free tie pin (of which I already have been given several!)

Who out there can let me know their experiences with AVOD on Finnair?

Hi All Had a scenario last Friday at CBR. My daughter was flying up to Sydney for an awards ceremony that was beginning at 6pm at Sydney Uni. She was booked onto a Qantas flight departing CBR at 2:40pm. More than enough time to get up to Sydney and to the venue. I got a call at 4pm from...

I'm on QF12 from LAX to SYD on Mon. It says the departure terminal is B. Would this stand for Tom Bradley? I always though Syd bound flights departed from 4?

Watching Mrs Moo's flight taxi to the runway at the moment from the F lounge at Sydney. I'll meet them in SFO in 22 hours time. Got an exit row seat this morning on QF560 from CBR to SYD. Was originally booked into Prem Eco for Syd to LAX, but got upgraded by the lovely ladies at the F lounge...

Mrs Moo is travelling SYD-LAX next month. She wants to know what would be the better airline between Delta and United? I've heard some bad reports about United. However I'm sure there are some good one as well from some happy campers.

I'm off to the USA next month for work. My choices are as follows: QF11 (A380) or QF73 (747) into San Fran The reason I'm considering QF73 is that this particular flight won't have any F cabin seats. However my understanding is that QF will allow Biz class passengers access into the F...

Flying on BA010 tomorrow night Syd to BKK. We're on the upper deck in Business class. I've heard that BA have a special type of power socket. I'm carrying an international power adaptor, so would mine work or is it a special type of BA only type plug?

I recently had a disagreement with access to the F lounge at Syd airport when booked onto a Air Pacific flight that was a Qantas codeshare flight. We weren't allowed into the F lounge because it was marked as a FJ flight even though it was sold to us as a QF flight. I was going to let it...
