Hello, all - I'm not exactly new: in fact I've been a member since 2005, but then I fell into jobs where I didn't travel much and dropped out. Now I fly a small amount for work and a greater amount for personal interest, and after a busy year and a double SC offer a couple of years ago found my...

I've been dealing with the Sydney AA reservations office over the last couple of weeks and finding them pretty unhelpful. After almost daily email exchanges they finally sent me (on Tuesday) written confirmation of some flights I had booked which they had changed. Tuesday night I sent a...

Hi, hoping someone can help me - I have a flight to the US later this month with Qantas which includes some internal flights with Americal Airlines, a Qantas partner airline via OneWorld. My travel agent (who has not been helpful) booked me economy on the return leg from New York to LAX...
