    LATAM experiences

    I travelled in Jan 2019 to Buenos Aires (AEP) and then later returned from SCL to MEL with my wife, flying LATAM. The service on the long haul MEL - SCL and return SCL-AKL flights in Y was abysmal. Dinner consisted of a hot dish and a chocolate biscuit for desert, plus drinks, very similar to...

    Qatar experience to Nairobi (NBO)

    My wife and I recently travelled MEL-DOH-NBO in QR Y to go on a safari tour of Kenya and Tanzania. We have travelled on the QR A380 MEL -DOH before in Y and the long haul flight was a pleasant experience again. I'm not sure if its the seat pitch or width or design but the long time in the...

    Sky Pearl Club (CZ)

    I have flown a few sectors with CZ in recent years but have never been able to enrol online on the CZ website, mainly because the website insists on sending a confirmation code to a mobile number that you try to register with. The website seems to never send an SMS to a non Chinese mobile, even...

    Guangzhou new Terminal 2

    CZ moved into the new terminal 2 at CAN on 19 May. I recently flew MEL-CAN-PVG and return NKG-CAN-MEL, having flown through the old terminal a handful of times in recent years. Terminal 2 is a pleasant experience compared to the old. Strangely while there is a security check when arriving in CAN...

    NRT QF Lounge

    I see that the QF J Lounge in NRT is in the satellite terminal to terminal 2. (I'm only a QC Silver). Do the QF evening flights to MEL and BNE leave from the satellite terminal gates or is a long walk required when the boarding call is made?

    Qantas Status Credits Issue

    I was booked in Y (B class) on QF1508 HBA-MEL when it was cancelled (a common occurrence I understand from other threads) on 29 April. It seems Alan Joyce wants me to be eternally grateful that they managed to send a JQ plane down to HBA to arrange a flight home much later that evening (JQ7304)...

    Virgin domestic lounge access WOAG B/Y flights

    In 2014 or maybe earlier, VA started giving Government WOAG travellers on B and Y class fares access to domestic lounges, although they didn't advertise it widely. I mainly fly QF and have QP membership but on occasions where VA have the best fare of the day (or the only other horrible option...

    Australian Power Plugs in China

    I noticed a closed thread regarding using Australian power plugs in China http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/your-questions/mainland-china-power-plugs-adapters-40483.html On a couple of recent visits to China I have encountered difficulties with plugging in Australian plugs...

    Rwanda Air

    I have just returned from Africa with several flights in eastern and South Africa, all in Y. The best flights in terms of in flight service were two flights JNB-KGL (Kigali, Rwanda) and return with Rwanda Air. Rwanda Air have several 737-700NG aircraft and the food and drinks service was very...

    Jestar Max Seat Allocation

    Only because its my only option of returning home from TSV to MEL the same evening after a meeting that's likely to run too late for me to catch the 1640 QF flight to BNE, I am stuck with flying on JQ919 (at least it's direct). I booked a Max Bundle through my corporate travel provider so that...

    Christchurch to Melbourne Via Sydney

    I should have paid for a NZ/DJ direct flight rather than use up my QF points for this. Christchurch airport is still recovering from the various earthquakes besetting the city. After an easy check in and trip through security and immigration, I called in at the QF / Manoia lounge which had...

    QF Domestic exit rows and QP check-in

    A few times now (currently Silver) I have been able to select Exit Row seats on some less patronised flights after the T-80 threshold online. As usual I can check in online but need to verify my suitability at a check in counter before being issued with a boarding pass. This I normally do at the...

    Booking QF Reward flights to Australia

    I booked a one way rewards flight back home from Christchurch to Melbourne (to use some points up and also avoid the 6am horror flight with Jetstar). The Qantas website forces you to use its NZ site and quotes the taxes in NZD. I proceeded with the booking and the transaction on my credit card...

    Delays in crediting FF points after JQ Jetflex flights

    Surely QF and JQ should be sufficiently "associated" so that when one has to fly JQ (eg the Gold Coast or most times to Hobart) that JQ legs should show up in My Bookings and flights show up in FF activity statements in a timely manner:mad: After an Horizons Airline flight from Boise to LAX I...
