    F Options Through Asia (OneWorld)

    Can anyone provide any suggestions on routes between the US - SE Asia - Australia that still have First on OneWorld carriers? I’m planning a US trip (NY) and my go-to pre covid used to be booking an ACIR26 with a stopover in HKG on the way there. These days however it seems none of the OW...

    “Incident At International” SYD Fri 15/6/18

    I’m currently in the QF Business lounge in Sydney, they’re making announcements that all flights ex-Sydney this morning will have nil catering due to an “incident at International” (their words). Anyone know more?

    Handling a missed flight situation

    Firstly, apologies to anyone on QF1424 this morning - if you were delayed because a checked in passenger failed to board that'd be my fault... As it was the first time I've missed a flight where it wasn't the airline's fault, I'm curious to know how others handle this situation. I woke up at...

    SYD ATC Radar Failure 25/9/17

    Looks like it's going to be an interesting morning in Sydney - apparently the entire ATC radar system has gone down and the airport is on ground stop. I can't find any other information online at this point, only what the lounge staff here in CBR have announced - anyone else affected?

    Booking Glitch or Ultimate Status Run - WLG-CBR

    I've never flown SQ before but with their new direct CBR international flights starting in a few weeks I thought I'd consider them for an upcoming trip CBR-WLG-CBR. Either I've found a booking glitch, or this is a really great opportunity to earn some extra status credits / points / whatever SG...

    Free 1x Qantas Club pass, expiry April 2016

    As the title says, I've found another QC pass lying around at home - valid until end of April 2016. Usable at the domestic Qantas Club or International Business Lounge. Happy to send out to the first interested member with 10+ posts.

    Free 1x Qantas Club pass, expiry Jan 2016

    As the thread title suggests, I've got an unneeded Qantas Club / International Business Lounge pass with an expiry of January 2016. Was issued to my 5yr old when she dropped back to PS this year, but she's unlikely to be flying by herself and needing lounge access... If anyone wants it, send...

    I've felt the sting of the QFF Loyalty Middle Finger

    ...and ouch it hurts. I'm a long time QFF (and AFF) member, happily enjoying my WP membership for the last decade on the back of paying cash for QF International First flights. Never quite made Platinum One but have about a 1600 SC annual average over the last 10 years. Never once failed to...

    First into Asia & USA - Options?

    It's been a long time since I've been on AFF, with my absence tied to a lack of international travel as a result of having a second child.... It appears that quite a lot has changed since I last booked an overseas flight around 18 months ago. I used to book the OneWorld ACIR22 Circle Pacific...

    Apple WWDC - San Francisco June 10-14

    I've met a few AFF members at previous WWDC conferences over the last few years - just wondering if anyone is going again this year? Hopefully someone else was lucky enough to buy a ticket in the 120 seconds they were available before selling out... :o I'll be on QF11 on Sunday 9 June (should...

    iPad Loan in Business Lounges

    Haven't seen this mentioned before and a search didn't turn up anything, so hopefully this isn't a repost of old news. In the SYD J lounge this morning I noticed a sign at the counter mentioning you can borrow an iPad to use whilst in the lounge. I didn't get any specific details but it must...

    JFK-NRT - AA or JAL?

    I've booked an ACIR22 for a trip next month and I'm flying JFK-NRT on my way home. I'm currently booked with AA (in their 777) but I've noticed that JAL appear to have a very nice F suite on that sector as well. I've flown the AA 777 before but only domestic (MIA-LAX), but have never flown...

    AONE4 Minimum Stay Requirements

    G'day all, Can anyone more enlightened than me tell me if the minimum stay rules for an AONE4 have recently changed (or are being enforced in the online booking tool)? My 'usual' RTW trip is CBR-SYD-LAX-JFK-LHR-SIN-SYD-CBR with 2 working days in the US and 24 hours or less in the UK...

    Travel with Infant - First Lounge Global Roundup

    Following on from my separate post about security experiences when travelling with an infant, I thought I'd share the same with regards to the airport lounges we've visited with baby in tow. Again everything is just anecdotal from our personal experiences. CBR - Qantas Business Lounge...

    Travelling With Infant - Airport Roundup

    As I've just got back from my first trip with our daughter (6 months old), I thought I'd share a summary of our experiences at the various security checkpoints around the world. In all instances I carried our daughter in a baby sling, we had 3x 210ml bottles of sterilised water in the baby...

    AONE4 with Baby-on-Board

    As promised in a thread a few months ago, I thought I'd share a trip report from my first AONE4 with our 6 month old daughter in tow. This is her first set of flights anywhere and she is our only child, so we've got zero experience traveling children. Given the polarizing nature of the 'kids...

    3 Class 744 LAX-BNE / Preferred J Seats

    I've just booked a work trip CBR-IAD return in Business, and due to the timing and trying to use some points rather than paying cash for the ticket I ended up on QF16 LAX-BNE on 22/04. I understand this is a 2-class 744 - Business & Economy only. The Qantas seat map shows Zone B Rows 23 & 24...

    Sydney - Christchurch Flight Options

    G'day all, My wife and I need to travel from Sydney to Christchurch in May - flying over on a Saturday morning and back again Sunday afternoon. We're both WP members so a OneWorld airline would be best, but the schedule rules out the Jetstar options (they leave at the wrong time) and Qantas...

    Have OWE Stopover Rules Changed?

    Is anyone familiar with the rules for *ONE4 fares, with particular regard to stopovers in the country of origin? Earlier this year I booked (and flew) an AONE4 (using the OneWorld online booking tool) as follows: CBR-SYD-LAX-LAS LAS-LAX-SFO SFO-MIA-BOS-LHR LHR-SIN-SYD SYD-PER PER-ADL-CBR...

    Heathrow Connection Times SYD-LHR-DUB

    G'day all, I'm just trying to book some flights for my in-laws who are flying SYD-LHR on a BA flight and then want to continue onto Dublin with Aer Lingus, and I'm wondering if anyone has done this recently and can advise on the suitable connection times to allow. The last time I made this...
