Some people may not notice this but NZ in the last email sent has notified members that NZ is changing "refreshing" the earn rates for APD and SP. Old rates calculator New rates calculator So like most airlines FFP NZ is reducing the number or points from flying.:evil:

I thought this might be interesting to us. It is about the small margins that airlines have regarding the low fare ticket brackets. Full article and link to video on NZHerald.co.nz

I saw a Jetstar Hop on Hop off advert on youtube that had WLG-DUD for $49.:confused: Does anyone know when JQ announced this route? I just spent a fortune on NZ fares for the family as the alternatives were JQ WLG-AKL-DUD as separate sectors or Kiwi Regional Air but many separate sectors.

Sorry click bait title but an interesting onboard promotion. Full story on stuff.co.nz

So the 2015 list has been released by this site. Top 10 for each class, listed alphabetically are: Full article on AirlineRatings.com What I find interesting is that Emirates only get best 10 in first class, which IMO is pretty average not exceptional unless on the A380 with the spa. What are...

Has anyone else read this presentation? Qantas Investor Day 12 May 2105 I found some interesting points especially about fututre plans such as the flight disruption service via the Qantas apps, shorter turn around times (dual door boarding but also improved cabin bag management), increased...

How is this to help? I do not trust the government to collect "environmental taxes" and to spend it. If one or two people per flight do not get on the plane because of the increased cost, does it reduce the CO2 emmissions? I think not beyond a miniscule amount, flights need to be cancelled or...

It appears times are changing and AA has reduced the AA experience some more. What are other people's thoughts regarding this? Airline opens first-class loo to economy passengers - Travel - smh.com.au

I know that there has been some talk about how much value an FFP is, I think it was in the mega-long QF takeover thread. I have been shopping around for FX deals, notice the sharp drop in the value of the Kiwi $ as soon as I started this, in reference to the Altair factor or (Altair Axiom) I...

I have a bit of a dilema. My QP membership ends at the end of this month while my QFF year ends May. It is 99.9% sure that I will qualify for SG this year, a WLG-AKL(stop)-SYD(stop)-AKL-WLG trip late April/May will guarantee it. What I would like to know is this, if I let my QP lapse and I get...
