    Thanks for the advice, Danger. I'll do that, and report back. BTW, I've tried AY and RJ, with no success; I get an error message from AY, and RJ can't even find my booking.

    Changing oneworld crediting FF program mid ticket no longer allowed?

    Dear Frequent Flyers, I hope you can help me to figure out how to credit points/sc to Qantas (where I'm SG), and use LATAM's benefits (a recently status-matched Emerald). I'm flying LATAM, and I want to credit the points/sc to Qantas, so I become WP again (and get closer to LTG). However, I...

    Hilton Honors Macquarie Platinum Card

    Re: Hilton HHonours Macquarie Platinum Card I was gold before the upgrade, which was not requested. It kicked in a few days after activation, without $0 expenses. No expiry date on the new card, but website says "To maintain Diamond status in 2017, you need 49 more nights".

    AA's SYD-LAX flight

    It seems that AA looks after QF's frequent flyers better than QF looks after its own, at least on Y... Whilst on QF I have to pay for exit row seats, on the SYD/LAX/SYD AA flights I am able to get exit row seats for free (as a newly downgraded SG). Hopefully, the flights on Y won't be so bad...

    Thanks. Would travel to attend a "conference" in Las Vegas be considered travel for business purposes? ;)

    Aquire 50% extra Status Credits and double Aquire points offer

    What are the tax implications for a sole trader who's registered in Aquire just for the initial bonus points (20,000 at the time), doesn't conduct any business/travels only for leisure, and puts in the ABN just for these bonus SC's? Before registering for Aquire, I used to get SC's bonus offers...

    re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Same thing happened to me. I asked the phone assistant to double-check, and when she searched through "redemption" instead of "flight availability", she was able to see the seats and grab them.

    AirBerlin Gold and EY

    Thanks EtihadAirways. It'd be nice to have access to lounges in SYD and GRU as well. Also, I wish I could select exit row or bulk head seats for free. Too bad I missed the status match promotion...

    AirBerlin Gold and EY

    I am a Platinum QFF, but I've decided to suck it up, and book my next December Y flight to Brazil on EY. QF=AUD ~3700; EY=AUD ~1500. The price difference is obscene! Are there any unpublished benefits to AirBerlin Gold members, such as better seat selection, and access to lounges in Australia...

    Bouquets for the FAs

    QF81, 06/06 Everything was flawless, from check-in at the first class counter, to FLounging and boarding - until I put out the table tray. Just one word to describe: disgusting. Covered in food crumbles. Also, worn off plane in need of refurbishment. Fortunately, the cabin crew was outstanding...
