    Velocity > KF Points Transfers - Still instant?

    Hi everyone. I've transferred Velocity points to Krisflyer many times, and it's always been instant. I did it as usual last night (to my linked account), and they still haven't gone through - but they've definitely left my Velocity account. Is there a chance of IT issues here, or is there now a...

    QF FF not showing JL First Class award availability?

    Hi all, I was looking to book First Class return SYD-NRT on JAL in November. Both the JAL Mileage Bank website and the AA AAdvantage call centre are confirming availability on my flights. However, two different Qantas FF agents (via the call centre) are saying there is no availability on those...

    SYD F Lounge Closed [SQ]

    Hi all, Just a heads up, the SQ F Lounge in Sydney is closed for "maintenance". Didn't know until arriving at the lounge. Apparently the granite floor is all cracked and needs to be replaced. No fixed date for reopening. R/F passengers served Moët Chandon and a la carte food off the menu as...

I remember discussions on this topic a few times in unrelated threads but can't find it anywhere (at least when searching on my phone!) Tomorrow I'm checking in for an SQ F flight.

    JAL First Class SYD-NRT

    Hi there, Just wondering if any AFFers have flown F on JAL SYD-NRT (or vv) whilst they've been flying the 777-300 on the route since late last year (finishing late next month). I'm booked on it in a couple of weeks and am keen to know if it's a full F service out of Sydney (standard of catering...

    Mini TR: Flybe for Finnair E190 GVA-HEL (J-Class)

    Thought I’d write a quick trip report on a Finnair flight I took recently as there were a few of interesting points about it and not too much info online in regards to the flight… They sell Business Class on this flight (which I booked), however the seats are the same as in economy (2-2...

    "Double Dipping" - PPS spend whilst crediting miles to *A partner program?

    Hi guys, It's been suggested to me that you can purchase SQ F or J tickets which count towards your PPS spend value, but credit miles to another *A FF program. Does anyone know if this is possible, or have any experience in doing so? I have a very long trip coming up to JFK via stops for a few...

    Booking LH flights through Krisflyer

    Hi guys, I've never had trouble booking short haul Business Class flights on LH through Krisflyer. However, I've been trying to get a First Class ticket on LH from FRA-JFK at the end of July and even though (according to Expertflyer) zero seats have been sold in First Class on the flight I want...

    CX reward waitlisting

    Hi guys. Usually I deal with the call centre, but I'm a bit non-committal on this flight... tempted to waitlist J return SYD-HKG over one of the upcoming long weekends and seeing if it pops up... anyone know: (a) Will it let me waitlist without having the points in my account; and (b) Do I have...

    SQ > LH on Separate Tickets - Luggage check through from Syd?

    Hi there, Have an SQ rewards ticket in F SYD-SIN-FRA, then on a separate paid J ticket FRA-TXL on LH. The SQ call centre has told me that because they're separate tickets, they won't be able to check my bags all the way through from SYD. Is this right? QF only a few weeks ago checked my...

    Hi guys, Haven't booked with Asia Miles before but there's availability on an itineray I'm looking at for 2 people. Need to transfer my points from Membership Rewards, so can't get to the booking screen as I currently have 0 Asia Miles. Is it easy to book the second person (e.g. like on QF or...

    Hertz at LAX - Advice

    Hi guys, Arriving in to LAX on VA next week (I believe they are now flying in to TBIT). Is the Hertz at LAX nearby, or will it be a schlep for me to get there with a heap of luggage? Can't decide whether to get a hire car to my hotel then work out a rental from there, or whether to bite the...

    QF Classic Rewards Seats on Emirates

    Hi guys, Is anyone else having trouble finding seat availability? I am looking in First for January from SYD to GVA (preferably QF to DBX then EK to GVA). Heaps of QF and BA availability, but all though LHR. No EK availability (in any class!). Do they release reward seats this far out? Called QF...

    AA.com [Oz Portal] - Beware of booking class

    Hi everyone, It seems like this is covered in more complex terms in other threads, but I thought this may be a useful reminder for those who prefer layman's terms. Had already held tickets in First for the segments, hadn't ticketed them yet. Then re-searched for a friend and the flights came up...

    SYD-HTI - Business Class?

    Hi there, Anyone know the score with J on the SYD-HTI route? The new VA business class route map shows that J exists on the SYD-HTI route. I can only find one or two days where there is a single seat available over the next month. Has anyone actually flown it? I called the call centre and the...

    SQ First redemption booking - perfect experience

    Hi guys, SIA can get a bad wrap, especially from awards customers as I know they have previously focused on customer yield. I have to say, I have just got back from a 10/10 experience traveling on F-class redemption bookings to Europe. 1: MEL > SIN > LHR (All 777 refitted - First) 2: BER > MUC...
