    QF73 cancellation causing misconnection with Alaska

    My friend has a QFF Classic Rewards booking SYD-SFO-FCA, was departing tonight but QF73 has been cancelled. They've switched her to UA tomorrow morning SYD-SFO but she's not having any joy with the SFO-FCA leg which was on AS metal. No reward seats available so phone agents can't find a...

    Baggage Allowance on AS "Connection"

    A friend booked a QF Business award SYD-SFO in the recent drop of award seats. She's now decided to add an ongoing flight with AS, which necessitates an overnight stop in SFO. She called to add the flight to her existing ticket and was told that the baggage allowance from her QF J flight...

    Qantas to Westjet at LAX

    We arrive at LAX on QF11 next week and have a 6-hr transit before a WS flight to YYC. Booked on the same QF ticket, so I understand that the Qantas luggage allowance carries through to the Westjet flight. But I have questions for anyone who's made a similar QF==>WS transfer. Do we have to haul...

    Changing QF domestic award: flights available

    Trying to change a three-leg domestic business classic reward to a new date. Current booking is J/J/Y (no J cabin on final flight.) A search for a new ticket shows several options but when I try to change online these are only offered as J/Y/Y. Every flight combination, every day. I...

    Hyphenated Surname

    I'm attempting to book a reward flight which includes my grand-daughter who has a hyphenated surname. The online booking doesn't allow special characters in the name field. Etihad social media says to just use the two names, no hyphen, which "should be okay." Not exactly inspiring my...

    SYD-AUH F, AUH-FCO J: separate awards

    I'm planning a short trip to Rome next April using award flights. Have the return booked with Singapore using KF miles and a booking SYD-AUH in Etihad first which used up our remaining AA miles. Now I need to get us from AUH-FCO. Right now, there is no availability in business but there are...

    Hi team We're off to London, our first First experience, starting on EK413 tomorrow night. This was all going excitingly until our domestic connecting flight was cancelled tonight. We're now leaving too early for our luggage to be checked through -- and unfortunately we have to check luggage...

    SEA-LAX to fly VA2: how much time?

    I'm booked on VA2, 10.35pm scheduled departure. I'll be flying into LAX from SEA (preferably that day) and pondering which flight to book. There are options pretty much every half hour -- spoiled for choice with AS, AA, DL, VX. How much leeway would you allow with separate tickets?

    London Arrival: Gatwick vs Heathrow

    I'm looking at a choice of flights ex DXB, arriving either LGW or LHR 1pm-3pm. LGW is a marginally better connection but I've never flown to/from there. LHR on the other hand left a lasting impression (and not a good one.) We'll have a pick-up so transfers don't matter, unless the advice is...

    First First Experience: EK or QR?

    Next year we're ticking Flight in First off the bucket list. Currently have booked QR, SYD-CDG, using QFF points and was happy with this choice. But now an EK option has become available, same date, similar time, except with an extra stop (EK419 via BKK.) With the likelihood this trip may...

    Altitude Points for Air Canada?

    I have friends looking into flying Sydney-Vancouver with Air Canada. They have a stack of Altitude points and I'm wondering if there's any roundabout way of transferring them into AC Aeroplan miles. Does Altitude transfer to any of the hotel loyalty programs? Is points.com worth looking into...

    Booking One Way Flight US-Australia

    I have a one-way flight on hold, booked on aa.com. The fine print says I need to be a resident of the US. "If you are not a resident of the U.S., U.K., Canada or select countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, tickets must be purchased at an American Airlines ticketing location/airport...
