    Hi - I had a question on AAdvantage awards (I couldn't find the answer elsewhere, but apologies if it has been asked). For South Pacific-USA awards, do awards have to be booked on a direct flight (e.g. SYD-LAX) or if there is no availability, can an award for the same points be had SYD-HKG-LAX...

    Hi all - has anyone on here experienced EK flying BKK-SYD? I have the option of two flights, being QF24 at 6.25pm or QF8418 at 7.50pm. From my understanding, the seats across both aircraft are angled lie flat? QF advantages - Earlier arrival into Sydney - Smaller cabin with 2x2x2...

    QF J --> Jetstar Asia (QF Flight Number) - any experiences?

    Red Roo - No more F to HKG = No more A380/Skybed Mark 1?

    I have noticed, along with others on this forum, that once the QF 7/8 flights change over to A380, it is impossible to book F to HKG. It is still possible to book W to HKG. Does this mean that once the DFW flights start, the "change in A380/B747 mix" to HKG will mean all flights are operated by...
