Unusual to see an IB A350 in SYD Assuming it’s a FIFA charter unless they are wet leased?

Not sure if this has been covered elsewhere, and perhaps not threadworthy, but positive feedback on the new SYD dom security. Nothing needs to come out, and unlike OOL and other places where they seem to have this technology, you do not need to remove coats or belts etc. Very quick, smooth and...

Seeking guidance from the Qantas voucher experts. I recently purchased some Qantas vouchers. I used a portion of one for a recent flight booking. I understand from the conditions that the unused portion will be retained and used in another voucher with the a new balance and same expiry...

Sitting at OOL waiting to take QF595 back to SYD. Special water cannon salute and what seemed to be a fairly full inbound. Just thought I'd share given flying is a rare occurrence these days. 1594347045 Can't seem to add image

I note the Australia wide sale ends shortly. Is anyone buying any fares domestically under this as there are some great deals? I'm a little torn to commit given the schedule cutbacks and the severity of the outbreak in Australia are unclear

https://www.qantasnewsroom.com.au/media-releases/qantas-group-update-on-coronavirus-response-2/ Qantas have just released latest guidance on the impact of Coronavirus To be phased in from the end of March 2020 onwards: Total Group International capacity will be cut by around 90 per cent...

I've just had a look at some future domestic trips and notice some schedule changes. For instance, around Easter I have a MEL -OOL xx SYD. The SYD-OOL sector has changed in terms of timing and I had a look for that day and QF now only has 3 services whereas I am sure there were about 5...

Has anyone done an international connection to QF9 in MEL? First, does QF9 depart from MEL international so assume you can access QF F lounge prior? Second, if you were connecting say from AKL, would you have to clear passport control, go out of the airport and see a local counter or could you...

About to hit Ambassador status for the year so wondering if there are any other ambassador's out there and any recommendations in terms of how to make best use of the Marriott Ambassador rep?

Calling any Marriott elite experts. I've racked up 60 Marriott nights already and this is my first year with Marriott. As such, I can choose my 50 and soon 75 night reward. Does anyone have any tips on use of suite night awards? In Asia do you need to even use and just rely on upgrades? Any...

Just came across Bloomberg, according to the AFR, Virgin Australia and Affinity Equity Partners are preparing sale documents for the Velocity Frequent Flyer program, AFR reports in its Street Talk column, citing unidentified people. Affinity has been considering its position for some months: AFR

Are the statuses currently showing on the website reflective of your status for 2019? E.g. you were Diamond last year, stayed only enough to be Silver >> currently showing as silver? The reason I ask is that I am showing as Diamond but don't believe I re-qualified for it so curious to...

I was lucky enough to be on yesterday's QF452 which was a tumultuous journey as per the flight record below. We made it SYD, circled then turned right back around, waited on the ground for 30 mins and then let off after the flight was finally cancelled. My questions are: 1) what did QF do...

Potentially looking at a EK operated QF coded flight in Y :eek:. I've never had much to do with the EK tie up previously. Upon doing some dummy bookings I noted seat selection was not possible. As such questions are: 1. Can I see seat selection before payment stage without EF? 2. What are the...

News out in the last few days that Hong Kong airlines may collapse and go into liquidation. Insurance no longer covering itineraries for airline winding up with this HNA Group member who holds a decent stake in VA and who's lounge is relied upon in Hong Kong. Insurer Drops Collapse Cover for...

This could just be me being a rookie, but the tagging of luggage on QF seemed inconsistent in that some flights I would get tagged First, others just Business. I asked just then at in town checkin in HKG as Im on this evenings 98 connecting through to SYD. Usually I get First tag but this time...

Some interesting news articles on the busiest air routes: One-Hour Flight From Singapore Is World's Busiest Overseas Route These Are the Busiest Air Routes in the World With SIN-KUL topping international and Seoul-Jeju inching out SYD-MEL on the domestic front

I am in the market for a new carry-on bag as I try to do HLO as much as possible as there have been some decent sales on recently. I understand there have been some similar threads in the past so feel free to merge but I cannot locate them and there may be more up-to-date recommendations now...

Apologies if already posted elsewhere but just saw this come across my Bloomberg. Not sure what this actually means from a FF perspective if VA and NZ will remain strategic partners but interesting nonetheless
