That’s what confuses me! You can get sale tickets to LCA.

Folks! I suspect I have run into a bit of an oversight on Qantas' fare rules, and am curious if anyone has feedback about something I am overlooking, or if they think there is likely a realistic reason for this other than oversight. Honestly this is more of an academic curiosity post, because I...

Haha! They agreed to pay it out at the >1500km rate :) If they hadn’t I would need a photo of that magazine!

Howdy Folks, Looking for anyone that might have information about calculating the flight distance between LHR and LIS for the purposes of an EU flight compensation claim with British Airways over BA502/BA504 on Sunday the 18th of March. I ended up with a double-cancellation where they bumped...

I feel like this change is more explainable even to the average person (new airport who dis?) Explaining it on account of SC or to get the first LHR-PER 787 flight is another story... :) Although it's usually received by people a little better than when I talk to them about waiting in line for...

If you want a nice and modern Hilton, with good sized rooms.. the Hilton Bankside is really new and nice and modern (and all rooms are the same size instead of the random layouts you can get in older converted buildiongs). It's more ideal for business stays in the area though - is a 5 minute...

QC is literally a marketing product, there's no intrinsic value to it. If you've got a CC to give you better fraud protection and have two payment sources (Rather than using your primary bank account card overseas and worrying about fraud) then I don't see any value in it at all.

The lounges are nice, there's no on board welcome but I got upgraded to Premium Economy on 2/4 legs of my trip on the cheapest sale fare. So that was nice, incredibly unlikely on Emirates or Qantas... was thinking CX must still upgrade on Status rather than Fare cost or something... Staff...

My anniversary was 31 Aug; I got the 1.5SC and earlier year DSC... before ticking over I was at 1000/1400 for Platinum. Seems like I just missed out on the DSC, as I feel like theres a good chance it would have been sent if I hadn't just ticked over. Bugger!

This has confused me for a while, I fly emirates codeshares multiple times in the last 2 years and every time the online seat booking has worked for me from the Qantas site. But every time it also says: Seat selection is only available for flights operated by Qantas. To select seats and manage...

As someone who quotes differing itineraries particularly in the multi city tool quite a bit, it drives me freaking bananas the number of glitches. Every airline site needs to take note of google flights. The UI is ahead of pretty much everything else in leaps and bounds. Including the multi...

I've personally done this a number of times, where I flew PER-SIN-DXB-LHR (or other european destinations) in Y. Breaks up the flight time, singapore is an amazing airport.. and you get more SCs than PER-DXB direct. In J I'd be totally happy to do PER-LHR.. but in Y not so much. I'm fairly...

I think this is partly because most of the credit card providers "recently" (last couple of years) made a change where by if the merchant and currency is local, but the payment processor is not, it still bills you the international currency fee. Citibank made that change about maybe 18 months...

To my surprise had a domestic instant upgrade today on QF589 BNE-PER for Oct 23rd :-) Hadn't checked beforehand! Meanwhile AUS<->USA is a sale fare so :(

I spent several hours calculating that but it's just not worth it :( Especially flying from Perth. Would have to spend at least $2k probably more like $3k. I have my second 50SC bonus due in 45SC so I'd technically only need 345SC or 230SC with a 1.5x offer. But even economy to the US and...

Yeah the "Fly To Los Angeles" which I'd recently searched for might be a bit of a give-away. Plus I'm at 1000/1400SC for platinum but membership year ends in August :(

I got the same but for status credits, which is great as I'm about to book a US trip for October which I nearly booked on the weekend and would not have been eligible for the Qantas Business 50% SC offer.. good thing I waited!

Definitely important, sadly with Cathay though I found the cost to go up to a points earning fair was pretty harsh if there are still sale tickets for your route. Like literally double. On the flip side, nothing sweeter than when booking QF metal for work and the sale fares are all gone. With...

OK thats awesome, I need to get there and see it for myself!

4.79! For a long time I had a perfect 5.0 until this stupid driver at a restaurant in the US lined up to get into like the undercover pick-up area. I gave him a wave to indicate it was us, he acknowledged, then as the other car took off (maybe 30s later) he went to drive right through and take...
