    The C word, R U OK?

    Yes it's a tough time. My (non-Australian) partner lives in Lebanon, and I was due to fly out for two months on the 25th March... we were going to have to isolate, but we would be together. Of course, a few days ago, the Beirut airport was closed until the 29th March. Okay, a small setback but...

    Paid upgrade Qatar Promo fares

    I fly Qatar (Economeh) a few times a year long haul. Usually get an upgrade offer, no matter the booking fare class. The prices though are a joke, so always a hard no from me.

    Lufthansa where to credit.....

    I have some upcoming flights on Lufthansa. I do have a Miles and More account, but the few Eurowings flights I took last year gave me zero status miles. This is my first trip on Lufthansa. I don't fly enough with these airlines to ever make anything useful from the points, so my question is...

    Qatar Qpoints on Iberia ticket on Vueling metal?

    I'm looking to see if I get Qatar points and miles on an Iberia ticketed flight but that is actually operated by Vueling... Theoretically I should as Iberia is Oneworld and is the issuing airliner. It has the option to input my Qatar frequent flyer details. But, Qatar's Qcalculator is of no...

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    I did this exact same thing in Rome airport a few weeks ago! Damn and damn and damn there's a perfectly good (expensive!) tool in the bin. (I even suggested to the quite nice but can't do anything security person that she should keep it (she couldn't) - in the bin gah. No opportunity to get my...

    Ahhh Canberra INTERNATIONAL Airport

    Ok so this MAY have been said before, but.... Living in Canberra, and returning to overseas travel in the last couple of years.... how GOOD is it that one can now actually take an international flight from Canberra INTERNATIONAL Airport? I've flown out with Qatar four times in the last 18...

    Qatar economy codes help

    I'm trying to book a Qatar Economy ticket in their Economy Saver fare - one step above the Economy Promo. Their own status credits calculator says that Economy Saver are N, Q and S codes. Yet, when I try to book an Economy Saver fare, the booking states that it is O class, aka Promo, which...

    Velocity Silver... worth the effort...?

    It turns out that it is all moot anyway..... Etihad appear to have no reasonable return flights from Beirut to Canberra, with all returning flights scheduled to arrive in Melbourne or Sydney with an overnight delay before a morning flight to Canberra! Qatar has a much better connection. Booking...

    Velocity Silver... worth the effort...?

    Let's say that I am "working" towards VFF SG. Does this make the (actually only) $150 premium of Etihad over Qatar worth it?

    Velocity Silver... worth the effort...?

    Yes it is indeed. I was gold for a few years, and now I'm traveling again, I sure miss it.... I think I'll likely do three return trips to Lebanon in the coming year, so that's 390 status credits with Etihad... Given the timing of my existing SCs, I should get to gold within the year..... I...
