I used points for a return business class trip to Europe. The Qantas search engine offered me a return leg from Frankfurt via Tokyo on JAL, which sounded good, so I took it. A month or so later, when I go to put the flight details into my calendar, I notice that the ticketing has me going into...

Hi folks, after the long drought, I’m finally up and awaying again, QF81 Sydney-Singapore in J. Departing 11.10 am, no bags to check. I thought getting there by 0830 would be completely fine, and leave ample time for breakfast at the lounge. Any thoughts?

Ever hopeful, having cancelled my planned award trip to Europe in April-May because of the dreaded C, I'm now looking for seats in September-October, but for the life of me I can't find any Business Saver seats back to Sydney from pretty well anywhere after beginning June. Plenty before then. Do...

Hi all, I'm just trying to update my familiarity with using Velocity points to fly to Europe in business - can someone tell me if I'm right, or correct me if not? My understand is: (a) I can fly either Etihad or Singapore Airlines for 278,000 points return, but availability is limited; (b) I...

Hello all, a number of years ago (before the merger, before AA having a .com.au site) I was an occasional purchaser of AA points, using them on partner flights to Europe. Alas I've been out of the game for a while, and everything seems to have changed. I used to get emails from AA telling me of...

I am a bit slow, but only discovered the other day that back in Feb/March, Qantas introduced the $88 fee for changing even the most flexible of fares. I got caught by this, having been unaware of its introduction. On checking the Ts and Cs it says that they do NOT charge that fee for 'fully...

I've tried to find a recent list of dom flights leaving from Terminal 1 - ones I have known of in the past have gone. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm flying to London return in Dec-Jan, got the wife and daughter into J using points via HKG but 3 weren't available, so I'll be paying my way (and attending a conference when there so at least its deductible!). My question - what is the cheapest way I can do that while still getting full...

Hi all, I want do SYD-HAN in J in January, as direct as possible, preferably on OW. JQ seems to be a nightmare (connections), QF and CX prohibitive. Vietnam Air seems very well priced, but it's not OW, and I'm not sure how good it is. I did however see one fare advertised with QF and Vietnam via...
