Hi all, I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade a friends flight with Singapore (SYD-LHR) using my Velocity points. We are not travelling together. Looking at bump from premium economy to business. Is this possible considering the challenges of it's for someone else and different airline...

She hasn't flown with them yet. I bought them for her after she went on and on about how good the Etihad F headphones were. Flying Emirates F in a few weeks so will do a side by side comparison. My only issue with them is the over ear cup is a bit small for my big ears. Fine for lady ears. A...

No issues with the NoiseHush. They're actually my GF's and she loves them.

Saw a set of noise-cancelling headphones in the Aldi catalogue that look suspiciously like my pair of NoiseHush headphones: Case and accessories are the same, and the headphones look very similar besides the name. Tempted to get a pair and compare with the NoiseHush. Might be a case of a...

Thanks for the input. I think I'll go ahead and book it for them. Just checking if anyone has used it across different terminals or just between gates? Thanks.

Hi, I've booked some flights for my parents that have them arriving T3 on Emirates and need to transfer to T2 for a low-cost airline (FlyDubai). I was thinking of booking them the 'Marhaba' transfer service to make it 'worry free': https://www.marhabaservices.com/Source/transferservice.aspx...

Hehe some great comments there. There were a couple of nice little chocolates in the box. Suites were fairly full, mainly due to upgrades. Economy was wayyy over sold so business got bumped to fill the suites to clear some more space. It was around xmas so quite busy. I had a few "camel...

I have a few more photos but not much that hasn't already been covered. Happy to answer any questions, etc. Just thought I'd put something back into the community.

Stopped over on the way back in Abu Dhabi rather than the usual 2-3hr transit. The F check-in counter had chairs, which I thought was completely unnecessary. If you can't stand for the minute or two it takes to check-in, you're pretty close to checking out... Kinda cool from an OTT POV though.

I usually try to enjoy in mid-air isolation from the rest of the world. Had to do a bit of work on one of the legs so used the onboard wifi which was very reasonably priced and worked well. The Etihad steak sandwich is always fantastic as an in-between snack (in business as well). I usually...

Getting in trouble for taking photos.. ;)

Hi all, We flew to Europe recently in F on Etihad. I thought I'd share some photos I took on the way. I recently bought a fish-eye attachment for my iPhone so used it for a few of the photos.

Thanks for the advice RooFlyer. I'll definately direct them accordingly so they can make full use of the facilities. They are flying the same format on their return, the the DXB F lounge will be great. moa999, they will need to transfer to T2 unfortunately, so it wouldn't be a good idea to...

Thanks markis10.

I've booked my parents some first class flights on Emirates from SYD to Skopje (Macedonia) via DXB. I usually travel Virgin (oz) and Etihad (intl) so am a bit new to 'that' side of the airways ;) Can (should) they use the Qantas First lounge since EK only have a business lounge in SYD? Their...

Well I finally came around to finding a solution. It was starting to get a bit much so I booked one J return using my Velocity points. I was then about to book the same fare using cash and my partner came up with one permutation I hadn't considered yet. I ended up booking a one-way J with cash...

Thanks for all the useful suggestions. We do need to fly SYD-DUB with 1 stop so bouncing around isn't an option in this case. I called Etihad and they could confirm that an upgrade was available SYD-DUB but "there were none showing for all of September" for the return. She said this may be...

Hi guys, I've been reading a lot of AFF in order to get my head around the various rules and restrictions of various programs. This is my first post so Hi! I want to fly 2 people SYD-DUB later this year. Virgin via an Etihad codeshare does this route. I have enough points (250,000) in my...
