Although I have flown Singapore Airlines a few times I have only transited Changi without going into Singapore itself. Having Krisflyer points due to expire, my wife has always wanted to visit Singapore so we decided to use them for a Singapore trip flying Y on the way there and J on the way...

Interesting if not concerning article about RR engines for the 787 "The AD is expected to require inspections and a reduction in the ETOPS long-range operation to 140 minutes from the nearest airport from 330 minutes, sources say. Inspections have to be made by May 20, according to preliminary...

My better half has just received her Qantas newsletter which shows that her points are due to expire on 31 May which we would like to keep. It's not many points but enough for an upgrade or a few free domestic flights and we'd rather keep them than let them expire. Most of our travel is with...

Reuters reporting the following (this report might be behind a subscription wall so I have cut and paste). I have to say sitting in a tin tube for 20 hours is not my idea of fun. Apologies if posted elsewhere. Both Airbus AIR.PA and Boeing now offer aircraft that appear capable of flying...

I am trying to join Etihad Guest to check award availability but can't get passed the sign-up screen. When it asks for your country I type in Australia. But when I hit the sign-up button the country field blanks out and asks for me to put a country in. No problems in any of the other fields...

Hi Having seen some of the trip reports on AFF, my wife and I would like to visit Iceland in September. Dates are flexible (about 18 days all up) but leaving Iceland after 17 Sept would allow us to catch the northern lights. I want to use AAd points and book prior to 22 March to avoid...

Billionaire art collector Liu Yiqian paid $170.4m for Amadeo Modigliani's "Nu Couche" on Monday. The article claims he would have earned enough frequent flyer points for 1000 round trip first class flights between Beijing and New York. :shock: Anyone have the AMEX Centurion Card? I wonder...

I have finally saved up enough VA points to qualify for an SQ F trip to Vietnam, well SIN really and then J to HAN and return. This would be my first ever F trip and first overseas J for that matter. I will be travelling probably March 2016. I have read the other posts that mixed bookings can...

I am after some information on the BNE Koru lounge, in particular food offerings and the general condition of the lounge. My ANZ flight is around lunchtime so I'm wondering whether it is snack food then or something more substantial.

So SWMBO has decided that a quick one week trip to NZ (North Is) is in order for the upcoming school hols - 4 adults basically. I'm tossing up whether to do the codeshare thing or book direct with ANZ. Now I've flown VA codeshare before on SQ metal and wasn't that impressed. Also I have to say...

Looks like Vietnam Airlines has a major sale happening. Haven't looked at all the details but cheap economy return fares from Syd ($300) and Mel ($200) to Vietnam and Cambodia (not including taxes, fees and charges), purchase until March 2016 (probably safer to assume sale will end at some stage...

Not a fan myself, but at these prices makes you think twice. I don't know if this has been covered elsewhere but here is a link anyway. Tigerair

Just tried to book an overseas flight (VA coded, VA and SQ operated) through the VA website (BNE-PER-SIN-HAN rtn) next year. Last week the flights I wanted were available and able to be booked and after confirming dates I thought it was time to book. Now, typing in the same return details, "no...

Don't know if this has already been covered. I can't find it on the AFF site so posting here. Australian Financial Review reported yesterday (link attached for those that can access it Virgin Australia aircraft faults discovery prompts global alert). Slightly disconcerting, although good...

As VA gold can I still check in at the VA lounge in Brisbane if I have hand luggage only and would seat selection on the BNE SYD leg be available at the lounge (not available online). Booked the ticket direct with VS.

Yahoo! Finance

I suppose another way of asking the question is what have J* and Tiger brought to domestic aviation industry. For the consumer the answer is obvious - lower fares and more frequent flights. However from an airline business perspective, the airlines have never been less profitable since they...

I am looking at heading to Hong Kong in a few months possibly with V Atlantic in K class (premium economy). Is there a way to ensure I get the SCs and points credited to my VFF account?
