Their west coast are on the Pacific.

November visit (worked a charm and it had only just started) I was flying with United, so I presume UA terminal. January visit (has the little hickup) was with Qantas, so I assume TBI terminal. It was recognised by one person, but another just decided to be a bit difficult - I'll do the letter...

My last visit to LAX was rather strange... I went to the crew lane but no one was at the desk so I just waited patiently . After a couple of minutes a guy went to the desk and as he did so he looked at me with a "what do you think you are doing" expression. I flashed the card. He nodded and...

I've been trying to organise an award flight from Sydney to Nadi with my KrisFlyer points - with very little success. KrisFlyer cannot seem to confirm anything and say to check with AirNZ for availability. AirNZ say availability depends on KrisFlyer and they cannot really help. Is there...

I thought that was also implied by the "... just get to use this lane". Short answer - Yes. Long Answer... APEC card does NOT currently <and probably never will> modify the immigration procedure. APEC card does NOT currently <but I believe will later> change the VISA requirements...

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! LAX - Cruised up to the Crew Line and asked "APEC?" - YES! [I had a seat near the front and got to immigration quickly and the normal line was short but I just had to know!] No signs and the guy at the desk had never done one, but luckily for me, the guy I asked knew...

Woo-Hoo I'm off to the US tomorrow! I'll keep my eyes open for the signs and if the line is HUGE (as it was the last time I entered) I'll try and take the fast track!

Too many good stories = Too many people getting the card = less of an advantage I think we need to hide this thread ;)

Worth waiting for Thailand as I used it on my last two trips to Bangkok. Very busy when I arrived so I stood in the APEC/Diplomats marked lane behind a group - no idea why they were in that line. Got out my card and made sure I was holding it so it was clearly visible. I very soon had someone...

Qantas generous??? I think it depends on the altitude. Imagine a triangle (with one side through Singapore and one through Sydney) from the centre of the Earth to the surface of the Earth and then one from the centre of the earth (with one side through Singapore and one through Sydney) to...

APEC Card in China - A tip For those of you waiting for pre-clearance for China - do not be concerned! I had two visits to China where I had the card but no pre-clearance so I got a visa BUT I still used the APEC line! I remember standing in the middle of the China lanes looking for the...

Have not yet had a flight with SQ (or on other *A for that matter) that did not earn the points! Had a Cathay flight (SYD-HK) that Qantas would not gove me points for! And a SQ ticket would have been cheaper (but less convenient :() SQ is almost always the cheaper ticket as well...

Just put this in response to another thread, but felt it might be nice to have a thread to compare how easy it is to achieve GOLD in different FF programs. Flights : SYD-SIN Qantas FF Status Points : 30 (12 months) Miles/Points : 3910 (never expire) To get to Gold you need...

I pondered how Qantas & Singapore Airlines compared in terms of points/status for flights (SYD-SIN & back) - I now have the answer and it is quite interesting... Qantas FF Status Points : 30 (12 months) Miles/Points : 3910 (never expire) To get to Gold you need 700 Status Points...

I had one flight with SQ that the entire screen was not working and the flight was full so they couldn't move me to another aisle seat (I wouldn't accept a non-aisle). They wouldn't upgrade me but they gave me a $75US voucher for the lack of service.

I'm a member of both QFF & *A, so here are some of my experiences and reasoning... My MAIN reason for choosing SQ is that they have the full (pause/rewind) entertainment systems in cattle class (which is unfortunately all I get). Thai, Malaysian and Qantas all do the looping movie thing even if...
