    LHR - LGW Transfer

    Great, that's what I wanted to hear. I wasn't too bothered by the connection time, and I had a look on expertflyer with the stats for on time arrivals for that flight, so I've been somewhat prepared. Who did you use for your private taxi?

    LHR - LGW Transfer

    I'm going to Sardinia. The options are transfer to Gatwick and go direct to Olbia or I fly Heathrow to Fiumicino and then another flight to Olbia. I try to avoid Rome airport at all cost (and that cost is having to fly EasyJet)

    LHR - LGW Transfer

    I've actually since has a couple of private car options recommended to me - both around the 60-70 pound mark. Given the bus is going to be 50 between us, I think an extra 10/20 is worth spending. (providing the car turns up that is!)

    DFW B747 change PE to Y

    What to do with 770k of QFF points

    I just blew 840k (2x 420k) on a trip to LHR and back with a few stops here and there in first class in June/July next year. I think that's the way to go, especially when you consider how cheap an economy ticket is compared to the price of a first class ticket.

    Experiences with Virgin America?

    I flew them LAX-JFK and JFK-LAS a couple of months ago. Really good airline and I would def. fly with them again. Nice new (and clean) planes, friendly staff and easy check in. They also have a pretty good selection of TV channels that are free to watch as well. Seats are pretty good too. In...

    Classic Award seats in First Class - 1 free but I need 2

    So an update - I just got off the phone to Qantas, they said being a Platinum FF they are more than happy to release seats when they can. They weren't able to release 1 seat for me on the day I wanted on the a380 (where I could find 1 free myself) , however the day before they could release 2...

    Classic Award seats in First Class - 1 free but I need 2

    Thanks serfty. So hard to get these seats, trying to find flights with 1 is hard but 2 is next to impossible. I wonder how I'd go asking them to release 2 seats :)

    Classic Award seats in First Class - 1 free but I need 2

    So I've decided I'm going to make use of my FF points that I've accrued over the last 10 years (I've only redeemed points once before... an upgrade from J to F) but it seems to be a bit of a mission to find seats that I want. I'm looking at heading over to Europe next year and I can easily find...

    How come so many QF seats blocked?

    I've often wondered about blocked seats. I'm on a flight BNE-LAX on friday and I've checked a couple of times since I booked the ticket and always heaps of seats blocked. I though I read somewhere once it had to do with codeshare flights or something as well? Or that impacted it? or maybe its...

    Virgin America or American Airlines from LAX to JFK ?

    Just checked the Even More Legroom on JetBlue - only an extra $60 on top of the standard fare. And yeah you're right, 38" pitch. Now I need to add that into the mix I guess because its a guaranteed seat, versus the chances of me scoring a MCS seat at 24 hours prior. decisions decisions
