Sfo to Maui Sunday 22nd July 1503 flight

Hi All SQ can’t offer me award seats on United even though United is showing availability for their members for the flight I need. Anyone know how to transfer SQ points to United? Thanks

Thanks Mannej, As you suggested, I rang QF and they immediately adjusted my return flight status credits to match my outward flight which then took me to Gold. It seems that QF flights were automatically adjusted but partner airlines need manual adjustment plus a phone call to prompt the adjustment.

On the 23rd of February, my wife and I booked BA Sydney/London departing 30th June and returning 21st August. I note that we received less status credits for the return sector in line with the reduced partner airline earnings after 1st of July. I recall when Qantas announced these changes in...

I am no clear how Qantas would know the exact booking date of a OW partner airline booking when made directly with that other airline. So they may simply credit the new status credits for flights after July First and wait for the member to object with proof of the booking date if earlier than...

I am not surprised Qantas want to reduce status credit earnings on other One World airlines as up to date there was no great benefit in using Qantas over the others when you could earn the same Qantas status credits elsewhere. My major beef is that the changes should apply only to new bookings...

My wife and I are travelling in J on BA from London to Hong Kong next January using points. Much to my surprise, BA charges $115 each to reserve seats at this time. They advised me that there is no charge if reserving 24 hours or less prior to the flight but but of course, could not guarantee...

My wife and I recently returned from Zurich holding a BA ticket to LHR then a separate Emirates codeshare ticket on QF2 to Sydney. Zurich checkin refused to book our luggage through to Sydney, firstly because the bookings were not on one ticket. When I queried that, they then said that although...

Generally my wife and I can only travel overseas if we book in J on overnight flights as we find at our senior age, we can only get some worthwhile sleep if we can lay flat. Sitting up all night in Y is well past us. Daytime flights are fine in Y as we are not tall and get by quite OK. For...

No the 744 cannot fly into Cuzco. The lucky passengers change into smaller aircraft at Lima for the 1 hour flight up into the Andes.

We are due to fly from Chicago to Heathrow on AA in July but as we arrive late we have to stay the night at the Heathrow Hilton before flying to Zurich the next morning on BA. We would like to book our main luggage right thru from Chicago to Zurich if possible to save carting our luggage around...

Hi All, For years, I have used a Westpac Platinum Amex Card with points transferred directly to QFF. Recently, while complaining to a friend about the difficulty of finding available flights using points on QF, he said that he now uses an AMEX Platinum card and retains the points earned at Amex...

When flying into Turkey recently, I had trouble finding out if Australians required a visa. In the end, I found that Aussies must have a visa but they are easily obtained at major airports on arrival at a cost of $US60 or 45 Euros but must be cash. Clearly marked signs direct you to the Visa...

Thanks Oz for your comments. Unfortunately the tickets will be separate as we have had our qF tickets for months and now deciding how best to get to FRA hence the question. I guess it will be just luck at the checkin as you suggest. Thanks Ian

Has anyone had the opportunity to book their luggage straight thru from Zurich via Frankfurt to Sydney. We will be flying Swissair or Lufthansa from ZRH to FRT then picking up Qantas to Sydney later that evening. We certainly dont want to have to pick up our luggage in FRTand rebook it again if...

I am curious to know if there is an Award seat available, will that same seat always appear in Anyseat at a generally equivalent cost? I noticed recently that when I booked an award seat, the equivalent Anyseat that had also been available had suddenly increased to a much greater number of...

Although booking 12 months ahead using points, I could not find a through flight from Frankfurt to Sydney in J but was able to book Franfurt to Singapore on QF6 some weeks ago and I have now been lucky enough to grab the final leg Singapore to Sydney on QF6 also to connect with the first leg...

I am not clear wether my one year status can increase at any time or must you wait until your present status period expires and then start another year at the higher level? Are status periods linked to your original joining date? I can't find the answer on the QFF site.:)

We have a Westpac Amex platinum credit card but only pay $275 per annum (not $900 as mentioned by another reader) which earns 1.5 FF point/$1 spent. Comes with a Visa card as well earning 0.75 FF points/$1. However we have to pick and choose where we use the Amex as many merchants charge up to a...

Does anyone else find Qantas a bit rich in their booking fees and change of date/routing penalties?:evil: Having failed to find a return award seat LAX/SYD last May, I ended up buying a return LAX/SYD as that was cheaper than a oneway fare. At that point I just nominated the latest date possible...
