    I have a domestic flight coming up and will have HLO. In this current era, is post lounge access (in BNE) for Qantas Platinum‘s still a thing? I’d appreciate any current insights.

    Virgin Atlantic SFO Clubhouse mini review

    Last night I flew SFO NAN on FJ and thought I’d add a quick mini review of the SFO Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse, partly because it’s interesting and partly as a warning to unsuspecting punters. I knew beforehand that I’d be using this lounge and had arrived in plenty of time at SFO. Last night the...

    QF APP check in to NZ

    I’ve done domestic app check in and love it, but if I do it for NZ do I need to get a paper boarding pass or can I just go straight through customs? (Will customs accept my digital pass is really my question) I’m HLO so I don’t ‘need’ to see anyone now I’m checked in.

    Rewards booking fee

    I’m sure I’ve seen something about this elsewhere, but can’t find reference to it in the forums. What’s the deal on being charged a 6000 reward booking fee for a classic reward via the phone when the option was not available online (meaning the city pairs do not appear in the QF drop down box)...

    Sunday J Lounges for everyone

    I totally acknowledge this is a first world problem, but I’m going to bring it up anyway. I turned up today at CBR and the Qantas Club is closed with everyone in the J lounge. According to the lounge dragon, this is a new nationwide (his words) trial on Saturdays. I get it’s no skin off my...

    AA Check in

    I have 8+ hours from arriving in LAX on seperate PNRs (FJ from AKL to AA to Belize). Does anyone know if: A) FJ will check me all the way through so I can drop bags past customs in LAX to save me lugging them up to the AA F counters or B) Will AA accept bags 8+ hrs in advance? Thanks

    AA Flagship Flounge JFK

    Just walked out of the new Flounge at JFK. What a dud. In fact the whole AA experience today has been dire. Started by being denied F check in despite being OW Sapphire. I couldn't be bothered arguing, but I should have because the "Priority" check in was so bad. Dont even start me on...

    Weren't the 787's to replace 744's?

    Weren't the 787's to replace 744 routes? Does this mean they're hanging around for a lot longer? If LHR MEL gets axed (and we all know it will) what happens to those 380 aircraft? I'm hoping they'll be used as spares for a few months as they get a mid life refurb (PLEASE refit them with the...
