Great to see the ever luverly P1 team help pass those long days in Canberra with some web time on this very forum. This is a screen shot of a screen shot in an email from one of the kind & attentive P1 possie... (in case its too lores to make out - thats the AFFF link in her favorites bar :) )

Thanks to the informative knowledge of the "AFFF Massive" I learned a few years back all about using JASA's and pretty swiftly jumped up to WP status from Gold where i'd been flogging away for years. With my QFF anniversary 1st Sep, last couple of years I managed to get my WP retention sorted...

OK - so I slogged away as a SG for years with all my airline loyalty to OW/QF and doing the hard yards in discount economy, long & short haul, managed year after year to JUST scrape across the line and hit my 600 SC earn. Then 2 years ago over a bottle of fine Shiraz I started reading (and...

Question for the AFF massive... I've been to Darwin many times but never as a transit from domestic to international. Is it just a 5 min stroll from one small terminal to another? (like Cairns for example) I'm of to Bali in Sep with Mrs Shambles and have added a bit of a status run arriving...

Well, this time last year (two months after my annual QFF status/renewal deadline) I was sitting back with a sigh thinking "geez - thank fark I (just) re-qualified for Gold AGAIN". I travel quite a bit but 90% in cattle class/discount economy and have done for a few years and always the...

Just returned from a great 2 week break with Mrs Shambles to... see mates & family in UK (not relaxing - now need a new liver) spend 3 days (drinking wine & eating cheese) chillaxing at my Uncle's country property in rural France (very relaxing - now need extra spare liver and a cholesterol...

As I mentioned in the "Ash cloud" thread on Tues, I set sail for NZ with a planned LAN J ticket SYD-AKL-SYD, out Tuesday, back today. Being the source of all this ash stuff, needless to say that LAN pilots ain't clocking too much stick time this week. I had two QF one-way tickets up & back to...

I booked a SIN-MEL business fare last weekend and selected "max" bundle. The price stayed same and I completed the booking. Itin arrives and it's just a regular business fare when I clearly selected the max check box. It's not my issue the price remained same and their site code obviously had...

I took on this product when it first came out 3 years ago, liked the idea of the "free" flight each year and I needed a new carry-on bag at the time so the sammy one they were offerring seemed to fit the bill. The points are 1 for 1 AFAIK but the usual frustration of not being accepted...

People often say "Go hard, or go home". So with a quieter than usual year on the work flying front and some holidays that unfortunately didnt work well with OW airlines, my SC earn was shaping up to be a pretty sad accumulation of multiples of 10-at-a-time come end July anniversary. Well...

Recently booked AY for our SIN-LHR return in July and whilst I've been to Helsinki airport a few times, twas never as a transit. I noticed that our A321 service from LHR has ETA of 23.00 and our connecting A340 to SIN ETD is 23.40. Seems awfully tight for a long-haul transfer, especially...

OK... so I'm still fresh meat at the AFF Corral, so lack of acronym doctorate aside, here is a thread that poses an interesting question. One that will help me determine if I'm a "Terry Tight-cough" or OTT when it comes to blowing our personal hard-earned on flights (for recreation/holidays). So...

Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I've long browsed this forum as flying has been part of my MO since I got my "BEA Junior Jet Club" book way back in 1971 (aged 4) as Mum & Dad shambles dragged me and my 2 younger sisters off to live in Budapest following the old man's career. Loads of travel...

Hi all - been a browser for yonks but finally joined AFF :oops: I have AUD$10K to burn on a trip early August for me and Mrs Shambles and want to get max SC for my dosh. I know QF had an offer recently for Business class "companion" fare but missed that one. Am looking at MEL-LHR return and...
