I'm travelling in a month with our toddler, and my partner isn't able to join. Visiting Thailand and Malaysia. I'm finding it hard to get clear information on whether it is as straightforward as our previous trips as the three of us have been or otherwise. Some articles I've found suggest stat...

Having read a lot of stories regarding schedule changes, I expect the short answer is I'll lose my flights, but thought I'd ask for the expert advice. Have 2 classic rewards flying MH from KL to BNE later next year and that route has been axed. MH emailed me today to advise a new routing - KL -...

A data point for those interested: I ended up 8 SCs short of requalifying for platinum this year and called the contact centre to clarify whether flights flown on the review date count for that year (they do). The agent asked if I had any flights to book in the small window left and said as an...

On my flight today the pilot apologised that we would endure louder engine noise than usual as we had to fly unusually low for the duration of the flight due to “technical reasons”. There were a fair few raised eyebrows and murmurs - it got me thinking, what’s the worst cabin announcement AFFers...

Arranging flights for family to visit Aus, some good J fares available (again) ex Scandinavia. OSL departures for April pricing as low as £2100 with good availability. Flights with SQ with a short SAS connector to CPH or LHR. If only they were available in reverse...

I need to fly from HKG to BKK next year as part of a longer trip - and all other flights are locked in. I was looking at just paid economy ($200 each) or business ($600 each) but I've found availability in CX 777 first class. It's 76,000 QF points + $100 for 2 of us - has anyone done this...

I've been through plenty of TR's and looks like a lot of AFFers have done a cruise of Ha Long Bay. Heading there in a few weeks and we've got time to squeeze in an overnight cruise. Anyone strongly recommend a company to use? Or strongly recommend a company to avoid?!

I'm currently renting through LJ Hooker and it annoys me that they don't accept credit card payments for BPay and I'm missing out on a reasonable points haul. Looking through my tenancy agreement, there seems to be an option to pay via RE Connect One. Looking online there is little information...

Flew the wifi enabled 738 on Wednesday PER-BNE, no announcements made on availability, but a timely article by AusBT had drawn my attention to it. Flight was pretty full, and being entertainment via wifi anyway, a lot of people with connected devices would have realised wifi was running as...

Pakistan airline admits taking extra passengers in aisle - BBC News Article says 7 extra pax allowed on to stand in aisles, but later says traveled with 416 passengers and a seating capacity of 409 including staff seats - so presumably they had unofficially let perhaps 15 or so extra's on...

A bit of unexpected last minute flying at the end of my review year has me closer to 2 x platinum than expected. My review occurs next week, leaving me potentially this weekend to try something crazy - but is it worth it? I need 190 SCs to gift platinum to SWMBO. The only real benefit will be an...
