LH did also.

Have wondered if there was a place for a Nightjet like service in Australia. Maybe they could call it the Southern Aurora 🤣 But surely there has to be a happy medium between luxurious "rail cruises" as operated by Journey Beyond and seat only services.

The other thing, particularly with international travel, is that airports are a literal melting pot, with travellers coming from different backgrounds, different cultures and what may be grossly offensive for one culture may entirely within the cultural norms for another. For people of certain...

Our posts overlapped. Not only LTG's but for anyone whose travel patterns place status way out of reach, SC's have very little, or no value. As an aside, but interstingly Krisflyer engages with both high value and low value customers in different ways, with "Milestone Rewards" based on...

As a LTG with no hope, or interest in getting back to Platinum, then if it was cheaper than a bundle with SCs, I'd be happy with it. The vast majority of people just want to get from A to B, sometimes with seats, sometimes with some flexibility, sometimes with luggage, sometimes with food and...

SQ have this worked out, allowing dual FFP's being entered in different fields - FQTV for mileage accrual, FQTS for status benefits. They will happily let you , for example accrue to United whilst using your Lufthansa status benefits. Other airlines don't seem to have the capability, or if...

And why are BA and the US carriers more acceptable than say SQ or EK?

Yes, saw that, $34K is an impressive sum for return to New York, must have been first class. Although the stories probably missed the rebate that presumably applies to government travel spend, which could reduce that to $25-$30 K :eek:

Drawing a long bow there I think.

I had assumed that it related to competition to the region (and beyond). BNE-SiN has 5-6 daily services between SQ (4) and QF(1-2) whereas ADL just had 1-2 daily services to SIN on SQ.

Although you could probably configure it so that a customs lane as assigned when printing out the initial card at the passport scan machine before immigration. If the parameters determine you to be required to go for extra screening due to declaration or profiling, then you go straight there...

And not from Victoria. 🤣

Singapore school holidays.

I bought AF lounge access for mother travelling through BKK September last year. However, looks like it is no longer available unless flying AF or KL. BKK did a dummy spit on airline lounges allowing access to non-customers of that airline, including priority pass and paid means of access...

Exactly. It only applies to flights landing in Australia. And it doesn't apply to other flights who spend several hours crossing Australia including right over Sydney. I guess having another 3 hrs crossing the Tasman substantially reduces the security risk. :rolleyes:

Without thinking about it at all, both the Conrad Tokyo and Conrad Macau came to mind. In terms of genuinely unique and amazing location, Sossussvlei Lodge in Namibia. Not quite the Raffles or the Ritz in terms of polished service and attending to your every need - we don't need that anyway.

Agreed. Was going to suggest MH. Alternatively could do SQ: 1. Brisbane-Singapore-KL on SQ 2. Then buy separate one way sector from KL-HCMC, there are four carriers operating on this route (2 legacy - Malaysia and Vietnam Airlines, 2LCC - Vietjet and Air Asia). 3. Siem Reap - Singapore -...

You get someone else to pick up your Apple order (as in technology, not the fruit) , that you ordered from your account (because you aren't around to do so), not only does the invoice generated populate the "Ship To Customer" field with the name of the person collecting the order but it also...

SQ has such an amazing advantage in it's home market. Latest round of sales Y fares from MEL to SIN return are $750 AUD but here in SIN the equivalent lowest fares I can find in the opposite direction (SIN-MEL return) of $1060 AUD return. By contrast QF have a fare SIN-MEL return...

Straight out of the airline "enhancement" playbook? (my bolding). Fine with the change but was the last sentence really necessary (#WCMO)? It doesn't sound like an improvement me.
