I’m planning a trip with Mrs Paddy to Europe next year, departing Sydney for Western Europe 1st half June, returning from Eastern Europe 1st half July. Since last travelling I’ve dropped from WP to LTS (sob) and find when booking 2 J and/or F Award Seats I get 2nd bite of the cherry after all...

A Preamble # 1 Haven’t done much travel the last few years, but that’s OK (well not really :()! The last big trip Mrs Paddy and I did was Europe in mid 2015, and we finished up in Vienna. Checking in to fly back to SYD (on points in BA F) I managed to slip on the ultra-polished floor in the...

Well, it pays to read the PDS but it's hard to know all the circumstances you will face! Mrs Paddy and I went (using AA points :)) to Europe last July & August and after 6 weeks were lined up at the BA counter in Vienna to return... looking forward to returning by then as well I must say. In...

Hi! Well, I was a regular poster up until a couple of years ago and then with a change in job work travel pretty much stopped in its tracks :oops: Just two trip overseas in the past year: Using AA points (there's lots of posts on AFF re that) a trip for Mrs Paddy and I to Europe on BA in F...

(Edited to correct maths errors) My QFF card says I joined in April 1988... about 25 years ago and after the program began in 1987. My AAdvantage card says I joined in June 1981... 32 years ago and just one month after it was launched! These were the very early and formative days on FF...

Fellow AFF'ers Done little Domestic travel in the past year... but now I'm back travelling regularly for the foreseeable future :) - I'm WP btw When I was last travelling regularly I used to book Y both ways and use points to upgrade the return leg (from Perth - Sydney). I was guided by...

Well, back online after a month while I've been completing my 2nd DONE4... and it is good to be back! I'll write up a trip report and include some photos over the next week or so. I learnt a lot the 2nd time round - put into practice some knowledge acquired here to score multiple JASAs over the...

Red Roo Don't let Virgin get the jump on you! This is a great idea you might want to use as a thought starter for promotions to some of your loyal customers: AFFers! :) http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/virgin-australia-velocity/pre-release-exclusive-aff-virgin-49476.html

I realise I'm late to the 'debate' over the news that flights QF1, 2, 9 & 10 will serve only Halal food, but I've noticed the some of the posts over on Qantas's FB page are intolerant to say the least! I'm trying to work out why these folks are burning QFF cards, promising never to fly QF...

At end of May I've a very nice JASA planned SYD-LAX to pickup my parked DONE4 Have had the J to F upgrade requested for at least 6 months - I really want this upgrade :). Degustation, suites, etc, etc. Looking at ExpertFlyer F availability is F9 A9 which was getting me counting chickens before...

Received this offer in the mail: Until 8/31 Buy Miles With Up To A 25% Discount :lol: 40,000 miles for $US825. Not bad value at all IMHO

Followed the US lawsuit a bit and seen the result, and then read this Samsung Opens New Apple Store in Australia - John Paczkowski - News - AllThingsD Just wondering if Samsung only know how to copy & improve rather than invent?

Haven't come across a thread on this but Optus's content filtering in QPs is overzealous and amateurish and is ticking me off! (Enough to connect via my Telstra hot spot) Sitting in the QP looking at stories on Huffington Post (Breaking News and Opinion on The Huffington Post). Liberal, yes...

There's a trip report unfolding on FT by Jenpdx that I really am finding uniquely informative. I hope the mods don't mind but I'll post the link here: YOU travel? How the one-in-a-million girl rolls… - FlyerTalk Forums Go there... read Jen's story... I hope you get as much out of it as I am doing

Bought some lovely QF gift vouchers and can't figure out if/how I can use it towards a JASA. Does anyone know if it can be done? Ta Paddy

Regrets, I have a few, etc, etc Actually the biggest travel related regret I have had occurred when flying ZRH to JFK and was offered the chance to connect in CDG onto the Concorde. Well, even though I hadn't flown it before I knocked it back thinking I prefer a non-stop flight and I'd catch...

Sitting in the QP in Perth at the moment... Something I seem to do every month or two these days. I don't know whether the large FIFO presence here is getting louder, more boisterous and less caring about dress standards or whether i've become an intolerant snob, but gee I wish there was a J...
