    Help - what do do with miles from EY flight?

    My family is flying J on EY from Jakarta - London return later this year. I’m not sure when or if we would ever fly EY again, so I’m trying to figure out the best way to get some value form the rewards miles. Pretty much all my domestic flying is QF. The EY calculator says we would earn about...

    A380 premium economy seat choice

    Am on QF12 LAX - SYD in Y+ on 23/10, and secured the exit row aisle 24 B. I can see on expert flyer, however, that seat 26 D is free, with E blocked and F occupied. So another option is to take 26d. Which is better, unlimited legroom and an unknown seat mate, or an empty seat next door and a...

    Lounge access for QFF Gold flying Emirates

    Mrs G and little Miss G's are flying on EK 41 to AKL next Tuesday. Mrs G is QFF Gold, we can't work out whether she can access the QF lounge in SYD? Emirates lounge counts each child as a guest, so technically she can't bring both into the EK lounge, so will be stuck if she can't access the...

    A 380 premium economy seats

    Traveling A380 Y+ with Mrs GCC and 2 children in November and have just noticed that the booking has allocated us seats in the exit row (24 A&B) and the row behind (25 A&B). Our girls are 4 and 19 months so we can't use the exit row. So the seat options we currently have are a centre row of 3...

    Using a QF lounge pass with accompanying children

    Just wondering what the situation is if an adult using a legitimately obtained guest pass accesses the lounge and is traveling with two children, in this case aged 1 and 4?

    LAN or QF flying SYD - AKL in Y

    About to book a OW flight SYD to AKL in June. I don't have much love for the Jet connect 737, and don't plan on upgrading with points so I wonder if the LAN A 340 flight which leaves at the same time might be a better option? Have never flown LAN before, so not sure what if any recognition of WP...
