    Business Class award booking downgraded to economy at gate [QFF award on China Eastern]

    I would have paid the shakedown with my AMEX, and then contested the charge as illegal and a violation of the contract they had already entered. Easy win. Now you are screwed. this kind of abuse just infuriates me.....

    Making the most out of the whole glorious Qantas First Class Experience

    Quick update- QF 7/8 done in March and April. Had a wonderful trip, much thanks to inputs in this thread. I was told there are first hosts at DFW, but they dont really do anything- no reaching out, I think they are there to manage any issues that come up. I was given a phone number, but...

    Sticky Fingers - what's ok to go

    Things that are screwed down? I guess anything you COULD consumer while staying. Free water/drinks, toiletries. Im OK if there is a free minibar and you take items with you instead of drinking there. They've been offered, the cost is factored in. And its a matter of scale- how many $100 a...
