    Finnair but not Funnair - humph!

    Just create a “Seat alert” and that shows the seat map to then choose the type of seat you’re after. Up to 4 times per day for free. At checkin, you’ll at least be able to select best available. Use EF to keep an eye on what’s available and strike like a hawk when checkin opens!

    Finnair but not Funnair - humph!

    It’s free to check seats. What fare class do you have / OW status?

    MEL reportedly best airport in Australia

    Definitely a good choice for arriving into London! Not my first choice leaving - unless I was at an Expo at ExCel.

    MEL reportedly best airport in Australia

    LGA is La Guardia, New York. Closest to Manhattan but was a hellscape from inception but has had some serious TLC. https://airlineweekly.skift.com/2023/03/laguardia-airport-the-queens-miracle-from-loser-to-winner/

    MEL reportedly best airport in Australia

    Have you ever been to ORY? When you thought things can’t get worse than CDG, there’s Orly (and high up on the list!). Maybe they’ve secretly thrown money at during covid to get ready for the Olympics? I‘m surprised no one’s made a similar remark about LGA? But apparently it has transformed from...

    Jetstar compliments

    Complaints and compliments https://www.jetstar.com/au/en/contact-us/complaints-and-compliments It‘s a live chat - maybe a Bot? Complaints probably get routed to the Legal department. Compliments might wake up a surprised human….! 😉 But it is always nice to recognise things done well.

    Scams like these

    Calls? The article was about an elaborate setup offering a service to SMS scammers including making fake websites etc.

    MEL reportedly best airport in Australia

    Interestingly, the reader poll linked to the SMH article earlier (and I assume The Age also) asking about best Oz airport had MEL currently in front. Coming 2nd was “No of the above” 😂

    Award flights from Sicily to London

    True for return / open jaw but most of the legacy Euro airlines have excessive one way fares.

    Hopefully we might see a few less fake SMS - well for now after police sting shutdowns a PHaaS organisation...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Yes, only the original cabin booked. Rule of thumb, if the higher cabin is available - book it.

    Award flights from Sicily to London

    Play around with multi-sector search. There are some flights to MAD and onto LHR/LGW. On the 19/9, there’s only late flight, so o/n in MAD. The 17th looked better. Availability might be limited by how many seats you need of course. Married segments seem to be in play on AF/KL CR options.

    T-80 - Discussion and Questions

    Yes, T-80 applies to international routes.

    MEL reportedly best airport in Australia

    No, the numerous bus transfers from arriving aircraft to terminal. Even after the extensions! Pre Covid I think I had 1 in 10 air bridge arrivals. I’ll see what it’s like now in a few weeks but I’ve seen other recent complaints that they’re still busing in PAX…

    "The perfect destination for everyone" - is that even possible?

    Possibly lost in translation from Spanish to English 😉

    A bit of humour

    I was eyeing off the tumble dryers and 50” TV in the latest catalogues!
