Previous Explore Gold offers let you have Silver status for 12 months if you didn't make the 80SC requirement. Any word whether this is the case this time as well? There's seems to be no mention of this in the email.

Helping a family member to book a reward flight, I noticed that the seatmap was for the updated A332L config (27J/224Y). In J a toilet has replaced 5K while row 6 has been moved aft into the mini-cabin and now consists of a full row. Row 8 has been deleted. In Y, the rows are now numbered 23-37...

Top drive by RIC there! Gotta feel for ALO though, retiring on the penultimate lap. Here's to McLaren-Renault in 2018

Re: Probably stale news on here, don't know, but VGW earn now (within Au) 1 point per Should mention that 1 point/$3 is from 1 October. On the other hand, the rate is now 2 points/AU$1 on overseas purchases effective 1 September

When the QF fleet had 11 747s, one frame was a spare as the schedule only required 10 frames. The retirement of OJM effectively removed that spare. The introduction of the first four 787 will account for OEB once everything settles down in April, removing the MEL "based" 747 (QF 29/30 has...

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but today's announcement means pax flying to any of the four major Australian cities have a choice of TWO departure times from LHR entirely on QF aircraft AND with one stop at most. This is a real plus in my books - it would not have been possible if DXB...

Took 4 SQ flights under a VA codeshare recently, 3/4 posted within 2 days. The remaining one has required me to jump through some hoops with the retro claim and I am still waiting for it to post. I believe the retro claims webpage says to wait 2 weeks before submitting.

Your Qatari experience is very similar to what I had back in February, albeit on the free city tour provided by QR and without the heat :p Certainly not much to see and do but I definitely agree with you in that I wouldn't write the country off just yet. I expect there will be more...

Did you get to see the changing of the guards in Stockholm at the palace? It is quite extravagant and you are able to get quite close to it unlike the British one. There is a marching band performance too - they played ABBA and Europe when I was there which was rather patriotic :p

Having flown this config before, 19D would be my pick as there is actually no seat in front - 17/18 D-F are actually in front of 19 E-G despite what the seat selection map shows (a limitation of the software perhaps) See also...

UL fly MLE-CMB and also CMB-CAN direct

Been looking forward to this TR!

BOT is looking quick and dangerous!

A win could be on the cards for RIC!

Stay out of trouble appears to be the modus operandi for this round

Re: Rumour:[Denied by RR] Qantas to ban JQ SYD-MEL pax from F lounges & send to J lou I would think it'd be more dependent on how Y books, not J, given that the J seat count is constant between the two variants (excluding the unrefurbed birds). Hence my theory 107/108 being operated by A333...

I've heard rumours that VH-OJM is set to be retired mid-2017, with QF 29/30 returning to A330. VH-OEB leaves the fleet around April 2018, but will continue to fly as a charter for the Constellation RTW tour. So I think we will see QF 127/128 go A380 then, with the second displaced A380 starting...

I can see two J award seats on EY AUH-SYD on 13/7. Given that you are struggling to find/confirm 2x J/F awards into Australia, I'd suggest you take these and adjust your flight from EU - ME accordingly. Interestingly, these seats show up when searching from CDG, MAD, BRU but don't show up when...

The old rate for DFW-NYC/BOS was higher than the equivalent distance rate so that the SC earn on an AA-coded SYD-DFW-JFK routing was the same as flying SYD-JFK direct on QF code. I suppose if partner earn is to be halved, then it makes sense to do so on this route as well. FWIW, the DFW-NYC/BOS...

Re: Qantas ditches American Airlines deal in joint venture manoeuvre I think what we might see is the partner SC earn rate on flights to USA being halved, similar to how it works when flying another OW carrier on a routing that is also offered by QF. Currently, the SC earn for most fare...
