Is QF5/6 still running? I am trying to book SYD-FRA on that route but can't call up anything on the site that isn't [via the UAE] <redacted>. I thought QF5/6 was being extended until October?

hey, Does anyone know off the top of his or her head what the SC and points earn is on a BA ticket for this route? Currently as WP you get 44000 pts and 120SCs for a deep discount fare, 240SC for full econ, etc. Otherwise I'll attempt to calculate

I am just short of P1 this year and as my travel next year has been curtailed, P1 is out of the question. I have heard many members referring to AA Advantage, and suggesting that members who easily requalify for Platinum should park their SC/FF points with AA due to better redemptions. Is...

Sorry if this has been asked before, just a query about this new upgrade system where you can waitlist for a domestic upgrade and they let you know 5 hours before whether it's been awarded. Say we are 5 hours out from a flight on a 738, there are 6 seats paid for and 2 online upgrade seats...

7 days ago I flew through to Sydney straight from Frankfurt in Business on one of the very old 747 birds after changing my ticket as a little treat to me. I was very much looking forward to the flight for days, being my first international business flight with QANTAS. Well the food was good...

On arrival into FRA for a connecting flight to LHR I was ushered quickly into the Sakura Lounge. I wasn't really impressed. I'm flying from FRA to LHR again tomorrow and I want to know if I can use other affiliated lounges or whether this is where BA people must while away the hours between...

hey QANTAS types, Just tried to get into a Virgin Lounge and was told ATA had been cancelled. When I got comped to Gold with Virgin, ATA was a big deal for me because I am so often at the airport on unrelated business. I was seriously considering replacing my QANTAS WP with Virgin WP. Now...

qf766 on the 8th of september now has row 4 open to gold members - is this usual?

greetings, have flights booked in Club Europe and Euro Traveller on BA. Club Europe I can select from the front seats of the Business cabin (unlike QANTAS before T80), but in Euro Traveller I'm locked out from rows 1-12 of economy. Is this standard? If so, when do the first 12 rows open up? I'm...

Greetings all, What's the service like in PE on this leg? Pre-take off drinks and that sort of thing? Is this going to be one of the refurbished 747s? We have seats in the jumbo which has the split PE layout on either side of the staircase. I am travelling with 3 so have selected us a row of...

I'm currently sitting on about 2400 SCs with 3 months to go before review date. I am rarely able to get into row 4 these days, and flying 2 or 4 times a week now. The exit row is fine for room (maybe even better than row 4) but it's nicer to be able to get on and off speedily and to encounter...

I was prompted to reflect on this flying turd of a meal by recent compliments of the J fare (I must confess, my recent J experiences have also been nice and I particularly like the ocean trout and celeriac thing). I think this particular tray of offal is masquerading as 'braised beef in red...

The decision to cease some pre-flight inspections on the -800 is bull****. "The latest decision to do away with the checks will reduce costs and follows the planemakers’ recommendations and standard industry practice, Thomas Woodward, a spokesman for the carrier, said today." SO WHAT...

The other day I was travelling in Y with a large contingent of extended family members. At the Business Lounge, I enquired about the possibility of upgrading the ladies in the group with a view to minding the children down the back myself. The Lounge Dragon went through all the motions and said...

I remember flying British Airways once in economy and being sat in a convertible business seat which the crew had not bothered to wind back in due to a light load. Economy service with a bit more arm room was very pleasant. I always fly the 734 with Qantas when available and if I'm sitting in...

hi there, always wanted to take my 2x yearly flights to London in Business but baulked at the cash price. I now understand if you book flights from London and not Sydney (e.g. London-Sydney-London) the price almost halves. What is the reason for this, and can I do it? e.g. if I book a one way...

hey... reading this Australian airliners site came up with the following photo: VH-EBA Boeing 747 This isn't business class, is it? Is this the first incarnation of international economy? I.e. before the 'ten abreast seating modifications'?

In the last 12 months I have flown to Europe 3 times with QANTAS in Economy. Each time I have been sorely disappointed. I know my Economy fare doesn't entitle me to the rolled gold service of First, but it does entitle me to the friendly, attentive hospitality I would expect from ANY decent...

Had the opportunity to travel on a BA 737-400 the other day in Club Europe. The plane had wind out seats in a 2-2 configuration, but a weird one. The left side had the middle seat wound right in like on a QF 400, but the right side just had the standard three seats with the arm rests wound out...

I may be in a minority, but I happen to detest the business cabin on these aeroplanes. The seats look slick, but they are hard with no lumbar control, and to me they are almost an exact replica of the international premium economy seats. The cabins are illuminated harshly, the plastics on the...
