Given the upcoming changes to QF/AA earn rate, it seems like there's no better time to do a 'little' trip to requal WP. Requirements: Travel before 1 May (ideally March - early April) 800sc+ (I know...) Premium cabins for the intra-US legs (which given the required SC earn is a given) and...

Spotted this while waiting for my iced latte. QF is to ditch the [much beloved / univerally depised] Newson tableware and instead go with products from Japanese haute producer Noritake. As the article points out, and as plate flippers and spoon starers everywhere will know, Noritake used to...

Looks like the progressive redesign of QF's website has reached its zenith (or is that nadir?) with the booking page getting some love: I think I like it - it seems a lot less dense, so you have to scroll a lot more, but I like the flight detail summary that pops up (see in my picture). The...

Are there any good idea for a day/overnight tip ex Hong Kong (and using a OW carrier)? Ideally in the $xx_ not $xx_x category. As you may surmise, I am essentially seeking another opportunity to make the most of the CX Lounges. Seeing somewhere new would be a nice side benefit however.

Has anyone had any luck in cancelling a successful domestic upgrade on the grounds of an equipment change? I've gone from an a330 (with what looks like new J seats) to a 737 (which is still nice, but not quite cricket). I suspect the answer will be either no, or yes but here's a fee/point...

Is it at all possible to add Airport codes to wee popover definition that appears for some acronyms (like the FF tiers and a few others)? For instance, if I hover over MEL it will tell me quite helpfully that it means 'Melbourne Airport'. While some members seemingly have the IATA database...

Live From 34,000 Feet: Someone Keeps Smoking On My China Eastern Flight - One Mile at a Time Apparently it's an open secret that Chinese cabin crews smoke in flight? :shock:

Is this article still up to date with regards to 'plate of the day/island dining' times for the Domestic J lounges? New menu for Qantas Business Lounge, Qantas Club airport lounges - Australian Business Traveller (6-7 am for breakfast, 5-6 pm for dinner) Or has the whole thing entered into...

Is there any advantage at all for checking in early for a flight (and by early, I mean before you arrive at the airport/on the way there)? Prima facie, the only advantage is having a sequence number of 1, but that in itself seems to have no practical benefit.

The current QF Premium Companion sale caught my eye: HK return in PE for only $1400 (on a 747). My questions: 1) Is this actually a decent price? I can't find much historical data. On the basis that it's widely advertised sale, I have to assume it's not much of a saving. 2) While hard to...

Later this year we'll be flying on QF25. We're based in MEL so we'll need to a domestic hop to SYD. Booking the trip as one booking is cheaper than making two seperate bookings. The catch is: how do we change the domestic booking so as to maximise lounge time in SYD? The 'layover' times...
