So, a commercial operation is looking for volunteers to hand over four hours of their own time (refreshments provided!) to decide whether their planning folks got it right? As if! :shock:

Just a data point Gold Member ... I recently ran a search in EF for all available dates; 2 award seats in J were returned on about 2/3 of TN flights AKL-PPT-AKL. We're going in April! :D

I wouldn't pretend to share your reaction to the FA's gesture Flying mermaid (this practice has been discussed on another thread, where I am one of those who consider it a curious thing to do), but I am left wondering about customer relations vis-à-vis product delivery ... was it an enjoyable...

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A Yeah, I had a similar issue when trying to book an AKL-PER sector on NZ. An agent had to force a manual booking which was then royally screwed up, leading to multiple phone calls, emailed scans of ID and much gnashing of (my) teeth. By way of...

Congress with Christopher Pyne ... the mind does indeed boggle! :shock:

Not having flown the route ... is there any difference in catering between QF mainline 737 and Qantaslink 717 flights PER-KTA? And is the latter of higher standard and/or inclusive of alcohol? I ask because we noted such a difference when flying PER-BME a while back.

Although some destinations will determine which guide, you're spoiled for choice when it comes to Italy. Although I'd agree that LP guides can be formulaic, they're still essential reading IMHO. As is DK, not least because the way in which their photographs provide a sense of "being there". All...

Well, we missed the free beer, but "as soon as the locals realise you're not English" has worked everywhere we've been in France. Can't imagine why ... :D

As a quick response to anat0l ... Tahiti beckoned for us. I won't pretend that South Pacific awards in J for 30,000 miles each way is the sweet spot on the AA redemption chart, but we're getting somewhere that we want to go at a reasonably affordable price. Inventory on NZ seems almost...

According to Tabua Loyalty Cards - Membership Rewards Program - Air Pacific it's the "International Lounge", presumably located on the 4th floor of TBIT.

All will require journeys using ground transport, but *A options for access to Perpignan also include BCN, TLS, MPL, MRS and NCE; even BOD and LYS at a stretch!

As reported over at View from the Wing: The subscription-based ExpertFlyer.com website now lets you search award availability across the full Star Alliance. There’s not really information here that isn’t available for free on websites like United.com and Aeroplan. But ExpertFlyer lets you set...

Well, knock me over with a sledgehammer! In view of my paltry SC earn over the last year and my failure to patronise QF as indicated by the 2 next to the squiggle, I had anticipated dropping back to Silver. I'm not sure whether a comp is a good thing or a bad thing, but this puts the criticism...

Re: Avianca Transfer Miles promo (of course you need some miles to start with) Thanks for sharing your experience, rao. The agent's suggestion of calling again next week smacks of a fobbing off to me. What does jump out from the AV LM booking engine is the absence of SQ from the drop-down...

It would appear that cove is well informed! Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour has all the guff.

It's now several glasses of red wine ago, but ISTR a refund cheque that issued from Ireland. :o

Ah ... the pathway to overcrowded lounges, n'est-ce pas? ;)

Re: Avianca Transfer Miles promo (of course you need some miles to start with) Have you tried checking inventory on AV for each of the MEL-BKK-BOM-JNB segments individually? When recently running some dummy bookings on AV, I was able to find inventory for PER-AKL and AKL-RAR, but not...

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A Points from the T & Cs in the offer email that caught my eye: This promotion is available between September 3rd, and September 28th, 2012, as the last date of purchase. Maximum miles to buy: 75,000. Minimum of miles to buy: 1,000. Maximum...
