I've been trawling the threads and have yet to find the complete answers so here goes: I'm looking at booking SYD-SIN from the Australian QF site using a sale fare, which will not be eligible for Flight Upgrade Awards, then booking from SIN-LHR (using the QF Singapore site) to book a Red...

I'm looking to book a return trip to the UK at the end of the month and usually prefer to fly QF, so as to get on the A380. Given the level of uncertainty at the moment (if required, arbitration would be happening about the time I'm leaving, am away and wanting to get home) am i better off...

I've been reading the Crikey blog by Ben Sandilands of late and am wondering if people could answer something for me... Is it my somewhat overactive imagination that detects a very strong anti-Qantas bias in his posts? I don't want my question to be a character assassination, but would like to...

I'm heading to the UK next week and was toying with the idea of getting an iPad2 airside at the Apple stand (if possible). If anyone has a free moment walking past would they mind seeing if the Apple store actually has any stock.

I've just booked myself a return flight from LAX to LHR using the BA website. As SG, I've pre-selected my seat on the BA metal from LAX to LHR. I might be completely blind, but it appears that i cannot do the same on the return sector which is BA codeshare on AA metal. Is there a way I can...

I'm toying with the idea of a mini status run by taking the long way round to the UK in November. At this stage I'm looking to route from SYD to LAX on QF, then skip across the pond to LHR with either AA or BA (all in whY or equivalent). Forgive my ignorance in all this, but i am trying to get...

One negative of living in a country area is that airline choices from MEL to ABX (Albury-Wodonga) are limited to a grand total of 1 - being REX. I am going to be in MEL for work (which is incredibly rare) and given that im not flying QF my Gold Status means squat in accessing the QP. What are...
