G'day all! I did do a search... and was rather surprised when this term did not come up.. I am flying to the US (one way! Relocation for a new job!) on QF11 at 1305 on the 24th of May. Not really keen to battle traffic from the Northern beaches where I am staying with family to make a ~9am...

I will get around to writing up a trip report from a recent trip to DC, flights were all good, with another great experience in Y on the QF a380, crews on that plane are top shelf! However after a very smooth exit from the aircraft and lightning speed through the e-gate (awesome!) I was...

Points UG from Y to J is still pending (but looking good(ish) with Seat counter showing "9" in J, points-up requested by a QF-SG) So I thought I might garner what wisdom already exists on the best J seating on the a380.. Seat guru is next to useless... One thing I want to know is how hard is it...

Ok... I was going to ask about good "Value" dining.. I do understand everything around there is going to be at a premium... +1 and I scored (miraculously!) tickets to Mahler's 8th tonight at the opera house so we are looking for some where to dine before hand... So I am not after something...

Air New Zealand to reveal lie-flat economy class seat I await with interest on how they have managed to engineer this to fit in a similar space! Perhaps almost flat but vertical :)

http://www.aa.com/i18n/disclaimers/aadvantageAllPartnerChart.jsp only 72.5K to do Aus-USA in F?? Anyone used AApoints to do this? Any idea what availability is like? Fees? Seems to good to be true (I have no hope of ever being able to afford to pay to fly F, but I am only a few K short in...

Good morning all! I'm moving to Chicago in June. The company (well actually the US government in the guise of a DoE Lab) is moving our goods (sea freight). I have a bunch of lenses and camera gear that I am not to sure I want to be shipped (more of an insurance issue than a fragility issue) Now...

Travel technology: Executive decisions Travel insider some times comes out with some good stuff... My favourite:

Greetings AFF'ers! Sitting in the J lounge after upgrading to J on a Mel-Syd flight. Yes, very poor use of points but I have had a SHOCKING week (albeit because of amazing opportunity) so I wanted a little indulgence... I thought I would post my thoughts on the differences between the QP and...

Greetings AFFers! I'm heading to Chicago over Dec-Jan on a visiting Scientist program to work at Argonne National Lab which is ~30 miles from downtown.. There is a 10 day shut down over Xmas... Looking at a variety of options and one of them is to find a nice hotel in downtown to use as a base...

After recently completing a plat challenge I am AA plat and earning some nice miles thanks to the 100% bonus... This, plus the fact Admirals club is discounted for plat members has me considering buying a membership when my QC membership expires next June (assuming my employer does not remove it...

Just a few quick Q's on AA status re-qual. I'm about to hit Plat thanks to the plat challenge. From the AA site: So do the points reset at the end of the year? Rather than anniversary date like QF? And it sounds like re-qualifying is no easier than the initial qualification? Looks like...

Once again I call upon the great pool of knowledge that is the AFF community! Has anyone hired a car in Chicago? I need to drive from ORD to the lab where I am staying. From what I can tell the booths accept cash, but it is hard to be sure and it seems that those that do only do so in the form...

Looking at seat counter for my flight on qf93 (actually AA7349) LOKTSNWVQMBYDIJCAF 909999999999909955 No I assmue 9 means 9 or greater, but is that an exceptionally light load only 4 days out?

I'm being flown to the US for an interview but the lab that is hosting my visit has a fly US airlines policy... I am QP PS , if they buy an AA ticket for me which will (of course) send me on QF metal do I get lounge access? Thanks, Scott

I have the option of coming back from LA (to MEL) on QF 94 direct or QF 26 via Aukland The direct service is running a 747 (nominally) as is QF 26, although I believe it is a domestic-ish config AKL-MEL? Extra time is not to much of an issue... Plus I get to check out AKL QP... Is the SC earn...

I'm about to organise a trip to the US for a job interview (yay!) One thought I have, as you are always given the third degree there on arrival in LAX is what do you say is the purpose of your visit? and is it risky to take a printed CV and other material?

Afternoon all.. I'm flying to Syd tomorrow (QF) and need to leave a key for my sister who will be arriving in MEL just after my flight departs... Does anyone know a way or service that will enable her to pick the key up from the airport? I am QC Silver if it helps (has anyone left anything at...

What a Joke... tried to book one of the new $19 MEL-Syd flights online... got to the last screen and it threw me out asking me to contact the airline... Tried that.. was on hold and then got the oddest message in Japanese and then thrown out of the phone system... tried to enter the online...

I'm looking at booking a trip to Canberra in September to catch up with friends and see floriade. It will be Me + my wife and daughter. Last time I went to Canberra for my graduation we booked a WotIf Wot hotel and it ended up being the Crowne Plaza and was very nice! So I am after anyone's...
