I am considering Royal Brunei business class for an upcoming trip, with some great fares out of Melbourne. Curious though about the dress code, I found some online reviews that said a no-jeans rule is enforced ( Royal Brunei Airlines - Comparing Business Class & Economy ). My most formal...

I am just starting the path towards first time home ownership, and was very surprised to see that online finance calculators seem to assign a penalty of about $50k of borrowing power for every $10k of credit limit. I have never carried a balance on my cards and my monthly spend is only...

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jun/01/acccs-airline-monitoring-program-to-conclude-despite-growing-claims-of-fare-overcharging Looks like this price-monitoring program was a special measure put in place during Covid is now expiring.

This is perhaps nothing new, but confused me... I was on AA 2381 from RDU to DFW, and when looking up the flight status, I noticed that the inbound segment from DFW-RDU was also flight 2381. I know that it's long been tradition in the US for the same flight number to be used for multi-hop...

Had the opposite problem recently, QF8 was not showing in the lounge screen at DFW in the AA Flagship lounge. Qantas has a dedicated customer person here and I asked them about it - noting that other OneWorld AA codeshares on Iberia and Qatar were showing fine. Their response was that they...

Hello, I have a Qantas American Express Ultimate Card. The PDS for the travel insurance is here: https://www.americanexpress.com/content/dam/amex/au/pdfs/credit-cards/pds_velocity-platinum-insurance-tncs.pdf I am flying on an OWA with my partner; purchased with Qantas points through my QFF...

Hi Folks, I saw this on another forum: I wasn't aware that Qantas offered paid lounge access of any kind, is this a new program? Is it indeed based on estimated capacity as this poster suggests? I'm not sure if the poster is a QFF member or not.

Can't believe I ended up in this situation. Flying JQ536 last night (18 Dec) from MEL-SYD with my partner, arrived plenty early and proceeded to QF lounge in T1. About 3 hours before the flight I had looked up the status on the Melbourne airport web site (which I've always found to be...

Hello, I see on the AFF Supporters page ( Become an AFF Supporter - Australian Frequent Flyer ) it's mentioned that there's a deal to "Save 20% off all Columbus Direct travel insurance policies" but with the note that new policies are suspended due to Covid. This seems to be out of date as in...

Mods, please move if there's a better thread for this. Can anyone help with out to find the Scoot booking reference when booked through SIA? My corporate travel tool booked SQ 8599 through SIA (which is operated by Scoot as TR 3), and I have an e-ticket with 618 prefix. On the SIA MMB page...

Hi folks, The NZ government is greatly promoting their reopening to Australian tourism on 11 April, but in attempting to take advantage of this, are finding that the airlines are offering very few seats, and predictably sky-high prices on the remaining ones. Prices don't seem to normalise...

Apologies if this is the wrong forum... I'm trying to book an Emirates itinerary which should be straight forward, SYD-DXB-BLR, however the Qantas web site only offers QF/AI via SYD-ADL-DEL-BLR. I would prefer the Emirates itinerary for fewer stops and avoiding Air India, plus the Emirates...

I've just noticed that Qatar is one of the only international airlines still flying in and out of SYD, and in fact they now have 3x daily DOH-SYD flights! Anyone know anything more about these flights - are they pretty busy given no one else is flying to the Middle East and Europe (except...

Has anyone else had trouble getting onto Qantas Money this week? I have tried 3-4 times over the past few days, during business hours, and get "Qantas Money Unavailable" after I login, at any time of day. I have tried with both the iPhone app and the web site with the same effect.

I realised that I forgot to spend much on my Qantas Money Premier Platinum credit card last month (as I was using primarily another one due to being overseas the whole month), and have until the end of the day today before my billing period ends, to spend approx $1400. This is in order to reach...

How good are Cathay / Cathay Dragon op-ups ? I'm now about 3 of 6 segments where I booked in Y and got W or J . My latest flight was a B777 from HKG-MAA, with the awful 3-4-3 config in Y , but on boarding was assigned bulkhead seat 30A in PremY . Previous upgrades have been short-haul J...

Hello, My friend and I are booked on separate tickets on the same flights from SYD to AMS on EY. We used separate tickets due to returning on different dates, but would like to sit together on the outbound segments. I know the best option to guarantee seats next to each other is to pay for...

Hi, I am a Virgin Australia platinum and trying to decide between Qatar and Etihad for the following open-jaw itinerary in economy: 28 Nov - Dep SYD for BRU 29 Dec (approx) - depart IAD for SYD (EU to IAD segment will be booked separately) I am WP on both VA and QF, but have not used either...

I am booked on QF7 tomorrow 22 May and QF8 returning on 13 June. This is a simple return booking, no other flights involved, booked as classic flight rewards (I have WP status). The seat maps for both flights show the expected A380 and I am able to choose seats as normal (Premium Economy...

I fly to India regularly using Jet Airways (9W) codeshares, connecting to Qantas in SIN or HKG, as do my colleagues. Jet Airways are on the verge of bankrupcy as anyone who follows the Indian aviation market would be aware. They are are still operating, but as many as 30 planes are grounded...
