    Sharing Business seat with Economy passenger on Finnair

    Please stay on topic!! I recently visited Ireland and forgot to bring TimTams, due to super busy pre-departure week at work. Irish were MAJORLY not happy. Have to bring double quota (maybe double-choc) next time.

    Sharing Business seat with Economy passenger on Finnair

    I remember Jennifer Aniston switching from first class Emirates to economy, with a total stranger and it all seemed hunky-dory with the staff. So I'd think you'd have precedent on your side.

    Scams like these

    Another sucker on ABC news website wants me to reimburse him for sending $500,000 to a crypto website, at the behest of his Asian WhatsApp girlfriend whom he had never met. When will this ever end??

    Ask The Pilot

    On the ground. I'm all for graded assertiveness and it no doubt, saves many lives, especially in the air. I just think it has gone a bit far.

    Ask The Pilot

    There is a corollary to our speaking up culture. As a migrant to this wonderful country, I sometimes find the "everyone's opinion is important" philosophy a bit tedious. Having to listen to every moron chuck in their 2-bobs worth, whilst politely nodding in encouragement, can be incredibly...

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    I had a 40k monthly spend and was politely shown the door. I cant believe that Amex has a different script for time of day or nationality of call centre but I'd love to be wrong... Best of luck to you.

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Dunno. They are all a bit coughpy now with poor transfer rates. Probably look for highest sign on bonus and one that offers insurance if you spend $500 on travel expenses rather than buy the flight tickets.

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Not seeing the value any more... SQ enhancement, dining bonus ending 2024, awful service from Amex travel. Will need at least 150,000 to 200,000 MR to stay. I've done the sums and that is where the cost:benefit ratio works for me. Anything less and I am gone. I won't need to go through to...

    Which VPN service would you recommend?

    So, I used Nord to watch the Ashes in London last year. Had tickets for 2 days at Lord's but watched the rest at the home of our London hosts who had tickets for all days. Nord worked fine. I accessed Channel 9 coverage in Australia while in UK. Is that illegal?

    Booking award flight - did I just make newbie mistake?

    Yes, I am afraid you have. You have paid $3180 for an economy return flight to Europe. The Qatar website is frustratingly misleading. Not only does it still show economy seats when asked to show "premium only" but the 1-month availability screen is totally inaccurate. One needs to click...

    Can you redeem Qatar Avios for a friend?

    I had the same question. As far as I know you can redeem for anyone. Just log in. Book the flights and fill in their names. If the computer says no, you will have your answer. But the middle eastern Airlines do not have any Qantas like restrictions. So you should be right.
