    Summer in Sydney: Better than Red-e deal prices for returns to Sydney or not?

    I got sent an email this morning entitled "Summer in Sydney" with fares showing at return prices below what two single red-e deals would be. When I click through the banner onto the booking engine, I don't see evidence of fares at this amount. I'm not sure if the "return from $139" is...

Wishful thinking I know, but it's almost worth grabbing another Woolworths Everyday Rewards card and starting a new QFF account just to try it...

    Discount Y Platinum vs. Premium cabin Platinum, who is really worth more to Qantas

    With all the discussion going on about the new changes to the frequent flyer program and the feeling from some discount Y WP's that they have been forgotten in the improvements, it's got me wondering who is really worth more to Qantas, discount Y WP's or premium cabin WP's? On initial...

    Why not to check your flight status before arriving at the airport!

    I was booked to fly out of Auckland at 6.50am this morning on LAN801, flying business to max out status credits of course. Checked flights last night to find the flight was delayed by three hours, so gave myself an extra two hours sleep at the hotel before heading in. All is good so far...

    An upgrade moment...

    Sometimes getting to the airport late works out badly for you and other times it works out great. This was one of those occasions when I wasn't sure which it would be.
