If I ran Austrian Airlines, I would schedule a seasonal Foxtrot/Uniform/Kilo-INN-HEL service (AFF is censoring the 3 letter IATA code of my first airport 😅)

Yes in developing countries and the US. It's ironic that in some instances that we have to lump developing countries and the US together. Often on my my last day in a country and if I have a heap of small change and/or coins, I'll leave this as tips too.

For those who were thinking about booking a RTW award, this is going to be gone for good from 1 May ! https://mainlymiles.com/2024/04/09/krisflyer-axes-star-alliance-rtw-awards-from-may-2024/ I was in the early stages of planning a RTW redemption for Nov 2025 when I would reach the 10 year...

Did a quick spot check of some of my usual hotels, out the 5 I checked, Luxury Escapes had higher pricing for the same room type/rate compared with Expedia for 4 hotels whilst being cheaper than Expedia for 1. And as you noted, much smaller range than Expedia. Not looking like a great change !

5 mins late, is 5 mins late. Next time we'll have someone arguing that 10 mins late is fine too because it's only 5 mins later than being 5 minutes late. That was asking for trouble. Sorry but yes that about sums up everything. The staff member did exactly the right thing in the situation.

For a Star Alliance branded credit card, it sure treats some other Star Alliance carriers suspiciously, bought domestic tickets on Asiana and ANA in the last few months using the card and on both occasions, HSBC sent me a text titled "HSBC Fraud Alert - possible unauthorised transaction...

Very common for airports (and governments) to be chasing airlines, getting QF to KUL is a long shot IMHO given the aircraft shortages QF have and I'm sure there are other ports that are well and truly ahead of KUL in the pecking order. LHR and HEL can be accessed through SIN and HKG with BA and...

Hi, Could I see how SQ222 SYD-SIN on Monday 19th February 2024 is looking like atm? Many Thanks

Well I'm sure the engineers and the ops team recommended it years ago, but AJ pretty much deferred all the capex QF needed so that he could use the cash to return to shareholders --> beefs up the share price --> juices up his KPI's ---> bigger bonus. QF has got a mountain of capex to fund with...

I finally got my points posted overnight, which seems to align with your timing but is out of whack with the timing of some of the others here. Better late than never !

Starting to panick now, got Aeroplan 50k status on 25 November and here I am 10 weeks later with nothing :( I did reach out to Aeroplan on Facebook messenger and got a generic response saying I should contact HSBC, but this promotion actually has nothing to do with HSBC as the bonus 50,000...

For those who received their bonus Aeroplan 50,000 points, how long after qualifying did they post? I qualified for star gold on 25th Nov with Aeroplan but yet to receive anything. Thanks

Don't bother transferring your points to AA, you can go through and try make a booking even without sufficient points in your account, it's only at the very last stage will the system tell you that you have insufficient points. With the phantom award space, you won't even get to that last stage...

The AA space is phantom, seats show as available on the search engine but then clicking through to try and confirm the booking gives an error message ( I used your date above as an example). Happens quite a bit with the AA award search engine, when you think you've found a J award only to find...

To be honest, this thread is much ado about nothing. If there are indeed 'external influences' on this site but there are only "small number of users on AFF" that fit this 'profile', then those posters are punching well above their weight if their posts have the effect of having such a...

Hi all, Do Star Alliance Golds (flying in Y) check in at the business class or premium economy counters at SYD?

All about milking that cash cow that is the tourist. Easy way to prop up the coffers. Its a false economy though, the tourist dollars foregone will exceed the revenue raised.

Strata yes (it did for mine), rates not sure

Yes, as soon as the transaction cleared, I got the email the next day.

One business day for me
