It does appear they’ve been positioning these planes quite a lot lately. Has anyone been able to systematically find the routes that the 787 will be on? Or is this something that just pops up in a lucky dip style.

Current world record is held by Qantas for 19hr and 16min on its project sunrise flight from JFK to SYD. This could be very close call. Edit: just realised LHR-SYD by QF was 19hr and 19 mins, this is a *very* close call. Also Virgin stated it switched off the IFE and Wifi (unconfirmed) for...

Is it just me or does it seem that EY are happy to see a F cabin go empty? I've been tracking flights for the last few days and even down to 3 hours before there are 4 F fares available but not released for redemption. I don't get the rationale here other than to allow for J upgrades to F and Y...

Am I the only one who has had issues with Etihad's customer service? It's so inconsistent and it seems like every time I call I get routed to either Phillipines, Abu Dhabi, or London. a) I wanted a simple change to my itinerary, AUH-SYD instead of AUH-CDG and I was told this would incur a 10%...

We're visiting Western Europe in July 2017 for NSW School Holidays for 2 pax. Flying from Sydney and wanting to visit Paris but will be primarily based in London. I've managed to book SYD-AUH-CDG in F class with EY for 1 July. So the going route is sorted. I've managed to book LHR-AUH in F...

I noticed the SYD and LHR EY lounges are a little lacking compared to EK. Is it possible to use Etihad's AUH First Class lounge if flying SYD-AUH or LHR-AUH. Are we still entitled to Six Senses Spa, Dining etc? Edit: This is a EY Redemption Booking on EY in F class cabin.

We're taking a trip to London for the July school holidays and want to literally fly F class the whole way. I've flown SQ 777 F & 380 Suites. I am going to try EK F on a leg back from London on BCN-DXB-HKG then QF J HKG-SYD. But I also really want to try EY on the SYD-AUH leg (then EK F...

I'm looking to use some points on either F or J class to USA West/East Coast (July Holidays 1st - 16th this year) I have AMEX Rewards and Westpac Rewards so I cover most programs. I usually fly SQ but they don't have the best routing. I thought of SYD-AUH-JFK with EY (SYD-AUH in J and AUH-JFK...

A relative is donating their 30,300 Skywards points to me however a family transfer does not make sense at (US2.5c/point). I want to book 2x Y to SYD-PER which is 36,000. I have a warehouse of points in AMEX however they will only let me send to my name, not my relatives name (same last name)...

Just wondering does using a Jetstar Voucher https://ssl.jetstar.com/au/en/what-we-offer/gift-vouchers require a booking fee? I.e. I buy a $500, $300 and $50 voucher for my partner to redeem a $850 flight. Is it correct that no booking fee is due during checkout? And I also gain the points from...

New to SQ and the waitlist idea and I've done some researching here so I think I've got most of it figured out. I'm looking for SYD-SIN-USM (2nd Oct 16). Then USM-SIN-SYD (9th Oct 16). I'm wanting to fly first class SYD-SIN and business SIN-USM, with a stopover in SIN. SYD-SIN has the 777...
