    Is QF Uncompetitive ?

    He may well say that unless he's checked first. Maybe it's my imagination but QF seem to have shrunk the already poor pool of redemption seats. Not much available even for 2016. Pretty hard to find any reason to remain loyal when it is such a one way sentiment.

    The joy of alcohol on planes

    I have. Syd-LHR -SYD. Made no difference, I still felt like cough. So I figured I may as well enjoy myself. someone earlier mentioned the caviar and icy vodka. Qantas F used to do a wonderful one, along with Sydney Rock oysters.

    The joy of alcohol on planes

    I was in SFO at that time and it was a HUGE storm from the Artic. Dumped 16 ft of snow on the Sierras. as an aside, the next morning MUNI was apologising on radio that trains were running late due to the flooding. TWO minutes late! If our trains were so punctual the pollies would pop more than...

    Consider it dun! Australia Day long weekend for 10 days. I find Diamond Head a very, very relaxing place, not to mention cheap.

    Qantas one way business return economy?

    Hello, I want to take advantage of current sale prices and would like to fly J SYD-HNL but return in Y (daylight flight so no drama). Is this possible or will it be seen as two one way flights and therefore prohibitively expensive? Appreciate any guidance. Thanks.

    Booking confirmed but no e-ticket issued

    Too true. I don't think Amadeus is at fault as I've just recently made AA bookings and instant e-ticketing

    Question re "pre-existing" medical conditions

    I have had the same/similar problem with heart problems. Most TI companies now use a one size fits all computer program which invariably results in 'computer says no". I have just booked for a month's cover for USA via SURESAVE for the first time. I was surprised at their very pleasant and...

    "price" of status credits - has anyone calculated it?

    Newbie here. Tad off topic? We intend using AA to fly MIA-MSY-DEN (via DFW)-ORD-LAX next year. There are super cheap economy fares available. Different search engines give a wide variance should we choose to do some legs in F. My question is, and I appreciate your patience, am I better off to...

    $0.14 per SC? Sort of... ;-)

    Exactly, serfty, and with the dollar around par, that's a huge difference. I used the Qantas USA site for a multiple return but still have to find my way over to the US. I quite like going Jet* to Hawaii and having a couple days snoozing on Waikiki beach before heading to LA. Life's not too...

    $0.14 per SC? Sort of... ;-)

    Pardon my ignorance, what are K-YUPs? And how do I get it? I've used search thread but no luck. I'm not a frequent traveller to the US - twice a year - but maximising sc is a desirable challenge! Apologies if I'm asking a silly question.
