My 9yr old son jumped on my much loved and used 2yr old QCII's (500k miles) this week and busted them badly. I took them out to Bose today to see if they could fix them as I'm flying to the US next week. The service manager Bob gave me a brand new pair of the new QCIIS's (A$599?)!!!! For...

Is anybody a GS and if so can you give me an outline of what sort travel requirements UA may have for GS level in Australia?

I joined UA in Feb and I'm 2 months away from making 1K. I have a residence in both the US and Australia. Is there any advantages to being an Australian MP member? I'll finish the year with 160 - 180K BIS miles mostly W and H class. TIA Mark

I was on the last of my 3 T class A$1179+ tickets travelling CHO-IAD-LAX-SYD on Monday. I'm 1P from a AA status match in Feb. On checkin at CHO I was offerred a C upgrade for LAX-SYD at US$750 (UA839 was 4 seats overbooked), I knocked it back and decided to tough it out in 40A in E+. My IAD-LAX...

I've been making multiple trips to the US (6 - 8 per annum) for the past 2 years staying in the US for 2 - 6 weeks each time using a green I 94 visa waiver. I'm not working (young retiree at 48yrs of age) and have Australian citizenship. Last time I entered the US, 3 weeks ago, the...

I have been a frequent flyer from Australia to the east coast of the US for 2 years, averaging 8 paid (personally) SYD - IAD return trips per annum. Initially I posted my trips to QF however it became apparent to me that, given I was flying in Y, the highest status I could aspire to on QF...

Last yr in April QF and AA price matched a UA offer of $1499 Syd-US and I bought 5 AA return tickets for this yr. I'm now wondering when to buy next yrs tickets. Would I be better off ticketing from the US? AA has a special for LAX- IAD- LAX for $198 plus taxes through next yr. AA EXP PLT...

I arrived in SYD from IAD yesterday, I have status with both AA (PLT) and QF (PS) but I was ticketed AA all the way. When I checked in at IAD I received my 2 boarding passes (IAD-LAX, LAX- SYD), my IAD - LAX I was upgraded (thanks!!) but my LAX- SYD which I had booked 4 months prior and had an...

I've just changed FF program to AA (from QF) before my return to Aust. I had requested an upgrade for my return QF (LAX- SYD) in 2 weeks which I'm still showing as waitlisted. Am I still eligible for an upgrade award from QF if I'm flying QF but now with an AA FF number registered? Many...

After some really helpful advice from NM and Lindsay I'm going to switch allegiances. I'm currently a QFF Silver (big deal after 6 return SYD- IAD flts over the past year!!) and a QC member(I'm going to ditch this as well next year). I'm hoping to reach AA PLT Elt with the following flts in this...

My wife has 48 AA 500mile upgrade certificates that she is unlikely to use. She also has 907K life time miles. I thought I'd read that upgrade certificates were exchangeable for miles at the rate of 2500 miles per certificate but the AA rep we spoke to said they will only exchange them on...

Excuse my ignorance but how can I tell what booking class my Qantas tickets are? I have the booking reference numbers, my itinerary etc but I can't decipher what the ticket classes are.

Can anybody offer some suggestions on the following? I started flying SYD/IAD regularly last yr (every 2 months) in Econ. I'm a QC member and a silver QFF. If I continue with Q I will be Gold by Oct. Should I ditch QFF and go to AAFF via the Platinum challenge? Will I be able to maintain...
