Personally QF often has J seats unused, so if they just adopted the LH model of releasing all unsold seats between 14 and 2 days out, I suspect there would be a lot more happy QFF members.

As most Bloggers keep repeating points are a depreciating asset to the member, and it makes no sense to hoard them, because much like Delta, AA, Aeroplan, Alaska Air have done in the past QF has suddenly depreciated all our life savings but are advertising it as an "improvement" As I have done...

2024 is already shaping up as a good year for travel. Just returned from 3 weeks touring New Zealand North and South Island on a Grand Pacific full size Coach, but fitted out with 20 very comfortable "business class" seats. in 10 days time depart on Q-suites ADL-EDI for some Scotland exploring...

I deal with Qantas points by using them where they are good value, such as domestic and Oceania travel, and potentially intra-Europe flights. Occasionally they are useful for JAL and CI bookings, but I've had zero success travelling QF internationally, and no longer even both to look. Instead...

Perhaps this should be the case. If cruisers were reminded that they will be held accountable for all costs associated with their irresponsibility , and which wouldn't be covered by travel insurance, then perhaps attitudes would change.

Yes but it was probably so far advanced when she left that there was nothing could be done to change it.

One can only hope this is the last of former head of (dis)Loyalty - Olivia Wirth's dystopian plans to rip any and all benefits out of QFF, while keeping the media chattering classes happily providing free column inches.

The recent news story about the Norwegian Cruise Line ship leaving behind passengers on an island off the coast of Africa because their privately organised tour returned after the return to ship deadline raises the issue of when have we felt it was safe to explore privately and when we didn't...

I have only been able purchase multi trip with 30 or 45 days maximum duration each trip that's with Australian departure cover.

Very disappointing, seemingly no-one on this forum that selected auto transfer on ANZ has had the bonus points processed by Velocity, with no advice as to why.

We will do the same, probably arrive Tokyo 5-7 days prior to embarkation, previously visit was to Kyoto/Osaka and Hiroshima, this time we will spend more time in Tokyo before joining the ship. We booked this version of the "Have it All" deal while onboard our last cruise including gratuities...

Thats amazing. The excursions for our HAL cruise aren't listed yet, and likely won't be until 6 months out. Our last HAL cruise excursions were still evolving in the 2-3 weeks leading up to embarkation.

Could be quite interesting if you choose the Princess cruise and we take the HAL cruise and we each post a TR of each cruise around the same time.

Quite enjoying your 2016 posts, will be a reference for planning our 2025 cruise, and look forward to viewing your upcoming TR. Thanks Drron.

Great idea Pushka, we thought the same and about 6 months Mrs Clayton and I booked the 28 day HAL Noordam cruise embarking Yokohama 30 March 2025 for a comprehensive loop of Japan. We haven't been on this ship before but have sailed on its newer slightly larger sibling Nieuw Statendam, and found...

me neither

It would be a miraculous leap forward if it were to extend to deletion of difficult to come by partner bookings by partially/untrained staff being indemnified by the employing FF program? :oops:

Wonder what happens with accrued Amex DJ points? Will we need to plan when to transfer the existing points over to Airline programs etc, or will they be automatically coverted to the new (Mastercard) points? And whether the new DJ points will have equal transfer ability and value to...

SQ rarely provides award flights to LM. And then its typically only Y class.

I manually transferred from ANZ in November, December and January, the 20% bonus for these transactions posted on the 2nd Feb. Also turned on Automatic transfers from ANZ in early November and transfers occurred 1 Dec and 1 Jan, no bonus points for these transfers have hit my account yet. The...
