Just thought I'd update, we've booked a cash fare SYD-KIX on QF in Y (daytime so not the end of the world) since our friends are staying in Osaka, then 2 weeks later HND-BNE-SYD in J with points overnight.

Partner and I are going for 10 days in May irrespective to visit friends, and I'm in two minds: do I pounce on the sale fare for a pretty decent status run (SYD-BNE-HND) with partner pooling to me, or wait with fingers crossed that SYD-HND codeshare becomes reality with 2 reward seats up the...

I'm having a lucky year with reward flights! Less than a week after Family Pooling got enough for 2 of us one way in J (120k) 2x seats became available on the overnight back from HKG to SYD in Feb which is what we wanted, so we jumped. Now climbing back up the mountain to another 120k...

You were right! It did happen this way :) Just over a month out my waitlist for SQ222 became available for confirmation then a very kind and competent SQ Call Centre agent left it available for a whole month, with the expiration set to 7 days out from flight date (next week). Following one...

Dim Dim Sum in Jordan is amazing. Google Maps

Not strictly answering the question but I flew SYD-SIN-PEN return in late 2016 using my SQ FF# since I did the Infinite Journeys status match. I waved my VA SG at the lounge all four times and was let in.

I've been all excited about this planning a long weekend in HKG in Feb with my other half, been scrimping and saving points. However J Reward availability is (unsurprisingly) terrible - 1 seat here or there on a Tuesday. So much for my grand plan of flying home Sun night and going straight to...

I flew SYD-AKL late 2017 on the A340 and it was a step back in time onto an ex-Emirates plane. Y IFE has tiny little dim screens with ~15 channels playing movies on repeat - I'm glad I took my tablet with Netflix downloaded. Neither PE or J (J and F in Hi Fly lingo respectively) are lie-flat...

My partner and I are confirmed SYD-SIN-CDG in F later this year and are very excited to be putting our points to good use. SYD-SIN SQ242 18:05 00:20+1 SIN-CDG SQ336 00:15+2 07:35+2 (Yes that's a long layover!) We'd like to reduce the layover from 23h55m to either 3h (or up to 10h)...

I did exactly this last year too albeit starting as a VA Gold. I fly VA 90% domestically for work and leisure so AB came in handy. As for proof of address with AB I'm based in SYD but our company HQ is in ZRH so when I emailed in the scan of my Avianca I just changed the address in my email...

Earlier this year I flew across the Tasman ex-SYD on NZ metal but booked VA, the booking was Seat only but my VA-G gave me a free bag. It took the checkin person a few minutes to get around it but it worked in the end. I wouldn't count on it.

Yes! I do it all the time, especially since you can seat select after entering your VA SG#. AirNZ also have lots of one way sales depending if you book on .co.nz or .com.au so it always pays to check both and split the trip if necessary.

Luckily I gained Shangri La Jade through work Amex last year so have applied for the match. And fortunately meeting family in KUL for Xmas (I'm SYD) so easily meet the required 3 flights. To top it off, Amex website had a mistake fare - I paid for Y and got ticketed PE - and it was cheaper than...
