I'm looking for an award J seat on CX139 (the daytime HKG-SYD flight) early in the new year. Freshly equipped with both Award Nexus and Expert Flyer, as well as the CX website, I'm gobsmacked to see that the only seats currently booked on the whole plane are some award PE seats that I saw on...

LGA Concourse C Admirals Club, until AA2133 (hour or so)

So this morning, G'DayUSA, a programme of events designed to showcase Australia across the US, had its soft 2016 launch at Sydney Airport's Hangar 96! P1 and CL members of AFF would be familiar with this hangar from other private QF events. Although I am a lowly SG, my company is a sponsor...

Not long before Christmas I'm heading to MEL for a wedding of two dear friends. She is, in particular, a plane nut. She loves planes, and flying on them. I thought about buying her some AAadvantage points but I learnt she's not a member. (She loves plane stuff a little more than the ins...

All, I'll be flying for work in J on QF11, from SYD through to JFK in mid-late January. After a few days, I'll fly AA from NY to DC (I prefer flying in to DCA, I'm such a tourist) and I'm open about how I come home - either AA to DFW, and then QF8, or back to NYC and QF12 all the way home...

OK team, I need a line to sell the ATO-credit card thing. My wife is contracting for a few months before Junior is due. She is setting up a credit card to cover work expenses, and I'm really selling the whole "pay your tax via the CC" line as I see an opportunity to earn FF points. How do I...

I have done a fair bit of SYD-MEL travel for work recently, and when flying with QF, I have started to check in my overnight bag again. The hunt for a slot in the overhead lockers is becoming ridiculous and seems to chew up time and make others frustrated. Moreover, my bag is invariably on the...

Heading to Melbourne tonight on the 1845 service and really noticing the crowd in here tonight, no doubt due to the reduced space available because of (welcome) renovations in the Qantas Club. The food could do with a bit of hot protein though - lots of carbs and salad but not a lot else...

It appears EK is keen.... ($ paywall for the Oz) I know that for many this is a good thing but I loathe it. 1. If I go to Europe, it's usually to the UK/Ireland, with bits of the Continent stuck on (bits of Italy, a weekend in Paris, etc). Yes this might sound a little old-fashioned, but I'm...

Genuine question. I have no idea. I'm booked on one in QF1 in a few weeks but I don't understand what the big deal is. I've seen people here refer to it as "Platinum Alley" but I ain't platinum (although I'll probably be one by the end of the year). Why would a platinum QFF want to sit there...

...strikes me as being a bit cheeky if you are flying solo sans enfant, just to get a seat at the front if you're flying economy. But if for whatever reason the seat needs to be taken off you (lots of parents on that flight, etc), does it increase your chances of an upgrade, or does it prompt...

Qantas sued over rude staff, slow drink service, late flights AN ADELAIDE man is suing Qantas over delayed domestic flights, rude and slow drink service and uncomfortable seats on an international flight...

Hello all, Newbie here, so apologies in advance if this question has been posed previously. I'm going to avoid some of the abbreviations I see here too, to avoid the risk of getting them wrong and confusing old hands. Via an aggregator, I've bought a Qantas return trip, SYD-LHR. I fly...

Hello all - as you may have deduced from my handle, I am someone who often does day trips between Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne for Qantas, all in economy I'm afraid, the odd US trip in Business, ("J") with Qantas, and holiday-time family travel at Christmas that hoovers up the good work in...
