    Qantas J Class sale anytime soon?

    Is anyone else hanging out for a sale on international business fares? I'm sitting on a couple of trips and will need to book fairly soon, but QF is just too much to justify on the routes and dates I need (JFK mid March, LHR late Jan). Did I miss one?

    Trip Report - United - MEL-SYD-SFO-EWR-LAX-SYD-MEL

    After a long run of QF only, I'm taking UA to NYC for the first time in over fifteen months. I used to fly UA quite a bit when based in NYC, so I'm familiar with the planes and lounges, which might be part of the reason I'm not looking forward to the next 20 odd hours of flying + two stopovers...

    Cracked the double platinum

    A year ago I moved back to Oz. I had the thought in the back of my mind that I might try for platinum in both Qantas and Virgin on the back of a fairly heavy international travel schedule.

    First Jetstar flight (and maybe last?) MEL-SIN-KUL

    In these financially difficult times all of us are called upon to make the odd sacrifice. For me, I chose to fly to a meeting in KL via Singapore on Jetstar (Business class) to save $1500 bucks or so over the direct J fares on Qantas or Malaysian. Arrived at the airport and checked in at the...

    Eligible flights for status?

    I've done a couple of long haul trips in J so have a few status credits (850) and am thinking about going to WP. On my last trip, I checked that the tickets were booked with a VA flight number even though they were on EY metal for part of the trip, as I understood that these would count as...

    China Eastern/Shanghai Airlines MEL-Shanghai-Paris

    Hi all (long time lurker, first time poster!) I was wondering whether anyone has flown J in China Eastern/Shanghai Airlines. I've heard some good stories but also a lot of bad ones, particularly about old and outdated equipment MEL-PVG and no English IFE. Has anyone had any recent experience...
