A friend is in J on QF74 tonight (which is why I was asking). CX lounge apparently closed for another renovation. He has just confirmed QF directed him to the AF/KL lounge. He's impressed - apparently very high quality and extensive buffet on offer, plus vintage 2016 Boisset champage and NV...

I agree with that - HKG is a good transit point, especially if your final location in Japan isn't Tokyo. But when you're looking at a trip of just a few days, which we are in this case, you can find that before you know it you have strayed too far from the original idea and you're spending a...

Oddly if you click that link which says Admirals Club, the page it opens up actually says Air France/KLM lounge, so that seems to be the official one. Even the URL says American Airlines but the page itself is AF/KL...

Yep, that's a thought. Though CX seem to excel at ensuring that you can never quite get the optimum connection at the great price - you always end up with a day flight not a night flight or 5hrs transit in HKG.... and I know there are worse things than that but when it's a quick trip (and one of...

Any update on the lounge situation at SFO for pax on QF74?

Thank you! Not that flexible, sadly :(

Update from me is I called back this afternoon and got a very helpful and efficient agent who, judging by her accent, was based in Hobart. She tried multiple other dates that week for HND-SYD plus the NRT-MEL and NRT-BNE, and no dice. Nothing for other days for SYD-HND either. So, attempt 1 to...

Thanks sudoer, much appreciated.

Just made first attempt to release 2x U seats using my other half's newly minted WP status. Was looking for SYD-HND-SYD in June, loads were: QF25 SYD-HND J9 C9 D9 I6 U0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N0 Q0 O0 G0 X0 E0 QF60 HND-SYD J9 C9 D9 I7 U0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9 Q9 O9 G0 X9 E0 Requested...

Between JL's over-communications and QF's under-communication who knows?! I think comparing notes here on what we booked vs. how it credited is really our best hope :)

My flight also credited today. Saver First Class fare credited as 'Flexible economy' so 20SC and 400 points... which is pretty weak but better than nothing I guess.

Thanks, that's good to know. Certainly as a paid First fare you'd expect it at least to credit as *something*. It might just be delayed? Will keep an eye out for it.

Just over a week ago I flew HND-ITM in paid First. It was one of the cheaper fares, and although absolutely nothing I received from JAL gave any indication of a fare class, I believe it booked into A class (I can see the same fare available on the route, and it's only available on flights with A...

Not strictly on topic for this thread, but very nearly... I can't tell from SQ's site whether you can earn Krisflyer status from Virgin Australia flights (not on SQ codeshares). I realise I can earn Krisflyer miles on any old VA SYD-MEL hop, but am I right to assume that I can't earn Krisflyer...

I think the latter. There is the odd day with biz award availability. I was just looking at the low loads and wondering whether they might release last-minute award availability but it seems probably not. Pretty good award availability in premium economy though.

Just bumping this - has anyone noticed what the pattern is with QF J award availability on CI, specifically on the SYD-TPE route? Loads seem very low but I'm not seeing any QF business awards over the next few weeks so I assume this does not seem to be one of those situations where additional...

THANK YOU! I had been confused by the interface. That really saved me some faffing around, very much appreciated. I notice that both my flights seem EXCEPTIONALLY quiet in business class, judging by the seat map and the loads on ExpertFlyer. Does CI ever release additional business class awards...

I've just been able to book (online) 2 awards in PE SYD-TPE-SGN in May. A nice thing is that even the intra-Asia leg is in PE on a widebody, plus at time of booking the required number of points dropped from 93K each to 81.8K each. An oddity is that although the site let me book two tickets on...

2 August, QF148 AKL-SYD A tiny thimbleful of barely chilled Jacquart as a PDB (I'd had one tiny sip when this was taken). I got the impression they were eking out one bottle for the full A330 biz cabin, as they were in a hurry to clear away glasses and there was no sign of it on the trolley...

I was curious about this so went to the trouble of reproducing it. What you're seeing is not a glitch, just that the .co.nz version of AirNZ's site has the sale J fares (NZ$498) whereas the .com.au version (which must have been where you looked) is showing AU$792. A lot of the time airnz.com.au...
