    Any tips for booking business class from Australia to Japan?

    I’m doing this exact routing in October also coming back KIX-TPE with a few days in Taipei. Can’t wait to try CI. Heard great things. Seats.aero is amazing. Saves so much time. Worth the subscription.

    Qatar Airways Lounge in Singapore T1

    Do they still have a choice of Champagnes? I was there in 2019 and loved the food and Champagne. I think there were 2 on offer.

    Poor service from Frequent Flyer Concierge

    That’s good news. Yes, I think I booked my flights within 20 minutes of getting the recommendations because I was so worried that the flights would be snapped up.

    Poor service from Frequent Flyer Concierge

    I’m surprised to hear this. I’ve used Frequent Flyer Solutions (I assume the same service before a name change) in the years prior to Covid and was I so impressed by their service both times. They were worth every cent and found me flights that I had spent dozens of hours searching for to no...

    CR flight MEL-SYD. What's my chance of an earlier flight?

    That's very helpful info! Arrive on a Saturday morning, so there shouldn't be too much travel traffic then. Unfortunately, there are not many flight options for SYD-BNK. There is only VA at 10:50am and the next one is Jetstar at 3pm. Your idea of staying on QF is actually good one in...

    CR flight MEL-SYD. What's my chance of an earlier flight?

    Thank you for the insight. Yes, bags could be the issue. I assume I must collect at MEL International, go through security/immigration, and then drop bags or recheck for the domestic. So if I have to recheck, perhaps my best chance is to ask at the QF desk when I re-check if I can get on an...

    CR flight MEL-SYD. What's my chance of an earlier flight?

    Thanks. That's what I'm wondering. CR tickets seem to have almost no flexibility, unless there's another CR seat available. My question is asking if anyone has had experience of being able to get on an earlier flight when it's a CR booking when there are no CR seats available. And does being...

    CR flight MEL-SYD. What's my chance of an earlier flight?

    I'm on a QF CR (JAL) business ticket NRT-MEL-SYD in early June. The flight NRT-MEL lands at 5:35am but then the MEL-SYD leg doesn't leave until 8am. I hope to catch a regional VA flight SYD-BNK at 10:50 a.m. because it's my best option without having to wait many hours at SYD for the next one...

    Many Velocity Partner Redemptions Becoming Unattainable

    Have you tried using seats.aero to find award availability? I've used it to book 5 international business rewards with VF points in the last 6 months. I'm not surprised there's nothing in April, though (from your screenshot). I generally book 6-11 months out. I did a quick search from MEL -...

    Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

    The first flight is SQ, and the second one is TK. Yes, the update is showing in the SQ app. I just got through to LM fairly quickly and got them to reissue the e-ticket. I have such little trust in LM that I want to cover all my bases!

    Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

    I just got an email from SQ about a change of flight bookings with LM. The difference is only an arrival time of 5 minutes later. I clicked the ACCEPT button, and it said I'd be sent a new e-ticket, but nothing arrived. I guess this means I have to call LM and ask them to re-issue the ticket...

    10,000 Woolworths rewards points for a travel insurance policy.

    Yeah, they tightened it up after everyone went nuts when Ozbargain and a number of travel influencers shared it. I just booked another 2 policies though and got 10K offer for Tasmania for 4 days (real trip) this week.

    Didn't expect this to be my breaking point, but it finally came!

    Sorry to hear about this situation. Just wanted to let you know I had a good outcome last year by lodging an NCAT complaint against QF. My issue was a little different - I had a J award ticket SFO-SYD, and they cancelled the SFO flight and put me on LAX-SYD but wouldn't put me on a flight to get...
