    Advice: Should I switch to AA

    Hoping for some advice here. I'm currently QF WP and NZ Elite. I'm going to be relocating to MSP for at least 2 years for work (the visa is 5 years so it could be that long). I'm trying to work out if I stick with QF and NZ or do a UA and/or DL and/or AA status challenge and switch to them. I'll...

    Upgrade Strategy Advice

    So I’ve got an Economy Saver (S) planned for work for the following flights: 1 Apr QF9 14 Apr QF2 I have the option of upgrading to a Flexi fare for $400 each way which would reduce my upgrade costs. I’m planning to put in upgrades to J both ways with option to be considered to Y+. And I’m...

    A status run within a status run: QF J, CX J, UL J (plus 2 days in CMB)

    Introduction I will start by apologising for no photos. Totally forgot - and to be fair they won't be anything that anyone hasn't seen before. This trip started back in April 2016 with the first DSC promo. I was able to combine that with a AKL-MEL-HKG-SYD-AKL sale fare for about NZD$1900 return...

    Trans-Tasman sectors in J on ex-NZ Y+ fares?

    Earlier in the year I booked AKL-MEL-HKG-SYD-AKL in PE during the DSC promo. Trans Tasman travel was booked in Y (as expected). Yesterday I went to check current pricing of the same fare on the QF website and the exact same flights are now booking into J for the trans Tasman sectors. I tried...

    (Belated) Hello!

    I've been a bit lazy in introducing myself - although I keep meaning to - so I'll finally do it. Have been mainly on FT since about 2008 and up until QF offered New Zealand residents a status match to Gold, all my flying and interest was on NZ and other Star Alliance carriers. After getting the...

    Long wait for booking to be ticketed?

    I've got a booking which I changed over the phone a couple of weeks ago and on MMB it's showing "Booking still processing" whenever I hover over Change/Cancel/Check-in options. I'm pretty sure this means it hasn't been ticketed yet. Am I best to follow up with QF and get them to ticket it? If I...

    QF: AKL-BKK/SIN/KUL/HKT/SGN r/t for NZD$898

    48 hour sale only. Poor $/SC earn as is the norm for discount economy fares. But a good price to get to BKK/HKT to do some MH status runs in J.

    Domestic upgrade not clearing?

    I put in an upgrade request MEL-SYD and it didn't clear straightaway and I was waitlisted. However, the flight shows U6 on EF. I was under the impression if there was award availability then the upgrade cleared straight away?

    Do holidays and status runs mix? (QF J, MH J, EK J and a few Y flights)

    I wrote a mammoth TR on FT about a great holiday and status run I briefly had. It took hours to format it for FT and embed the photos, so I'll just provide a link rather than write it all out again. Enjoy! Do holidays and status runs mix? (QF J, MH J, EK J plus a few Y flights) - FlyerTalk...

    Lounge Access: ADL-MEL in Y and MEL-AKL in J

    Tried to do a forum search and look on VA's website - but no luck. I've got EY Gold and and a NZ ticketed itinerary ADL-MEL-AKL with ADL-MEL in Y (on VA operated NZ codeshare) and MEL-AKL in J (on NZ). Can I get lounge access at ADL based on same day onward J flight on the same itinerary...
