    Suite (A380) vs. First (B777) for daytime flight?

    Booking SYD-SIN return in F on points and I have the choice between SQ212 (B777) and SQ222 (A380) for the flight over. I'm assuming that the suite on SQ222 would be the better hard product, but I prefer the earlier timing of SQ212. Considering I won't be sleeping on the flight, is it still worth...

    Online Check-in Issues this morning? (International)

    Has anyone had a problem checking in online this morning - or indeed has anyone successfully checked in online this morning? I get the screen asking to confirm the passenger info and can't get to the Select Flights step after that. Gives me an error and advises to check in at the airport. Not a...

    Singapore F1: Sept 18 - 20

    Rather late call out here but is anyone else going to Singapore for the Formula 1 (or any other reason) this weekend? I'll be travelling solo so I'd be keen to meet up for some chilli crab and a few beers if anyone is keen... Cheers, Greg

    QF vs. HA

    Looking to book a trip to Hawaii in October and I'm trying to decide which airline to go with. We'll be flying in Y. QF have a sale on which means the prices are much the same (<$100 difference). I haven't flown HA before, and last time I flew QF to HNL it was the old 767(?) so I don't know...

    Cancel Award Booking

    Morning all! I have a DXB-GVA award flight which I want to change to DXB-ZRH (and bump up to J); which means cancelling and re-booking I guess. I can't cancel it online (tells me to call). Should I be able to do this through the normal call centre team or do I have to wait until Monday when the...

    BA Change Fees

    Hi All, Received a notification from BA of a time change for a flight I have booked around Christmas. The time change means that I won't be able to connect with an ongoing flight, which is a separate ticket on a non-affiliated airline, and is the only flight on that route for the day (so I have...

    Best strategy for SYD to US West Coast in J/F

    Hi all, Apologies if this is an oft-asked question, but I'm having trouble finding info to help my folks get to the US and back in J or F next year. They are keen to fly QF as they like the A380, and they have the points to fly J or F, but finding availability for 2 is difficult as I'm sure...

    Hotel recommendation in Dubai (for layover)

    Will be flying through DXB on my way to Europe at the end of the year and I'm looking for an overnight hotel. Can anyone recommend something close to the airport and/or with an airport shuttle? A side question; I am flying in on QF9 at 11:25pm and then out on EK89 to Geneva at 8:55am - should I...

    Chip & PIN Credit/Debit card acceptance in France

    Morning all. I travelled extensively in Europe last year, including a 3 week stint driving around France. We ran in to issues with our Credit/Debit cards not working in Toll Booths or the automated (ie. unmanned) Petrol Stations. Whilst it's usually possible to pay with cash, sometimes you find...

    Best Rate Gaurantee

    Hi, Does anyone have any experience with the Hilton BRG, specifically regarding differences in the naming of room/bed type between Hilton and the cheaper seller? For a bit of context; I'm going to be in Budapest in August and found a great rate at a Hilton property through olotels.com...

    Worth going for Gold?

    Morning AFFers! I'm currently a QFF Bronze with Qantas Club and I'm trying to decide if it is worth doing a couple of status runs to get myself up to Gold. To give a bit of context: I'm likely to travel at least once a month for work over the next 12 months, both domestic and international -...

    Points/Status Earn when MAS joins OW?

    Hi all, this is my first post but I've been reading and learning from AFF for a while now (big thanks to everyone!). I've found a J fare SYD-CDG,LHR-SYD on MAS for ~$5500 in June/July, which seems like very good value given I've missed all the earlybird sales. The fare class is Z, not actually...
