    Suggestions for 7 hour evening transit in SFO

    Next week I have a 7 hour transit in SFO. Unfortunately it is in the evening (17:45 - 00:55). Do you think it is worth taking the BART downtown? Any suggestions on how to spend the time? Eg somewhere to eat and/or be a tourist at that time of day?

    Flying CX ex-ADL to maximise SC earn

    I see that the QF SC earn when flying CX in J ADL-HKG is 100 SC compared to 60 when flying say MEL-HKG. I assume due to QF not flying to HKG ex-ADL themselves. On a return J flight that is 100+ extra SC earn when taking into account the MEL-ADL positioning flight. Note, I'm actually looking...

    Decorative [Inoperative] passport machines at LAX TBIT

    The last few times I’ve been through LAX TBIT, all the electronic passport machines are switched off and replaced with a 9 layer deep snake of queuing passengers serviced by a handful of immigration officers. I’m sure those machines were working at some point. Why do they make it so difficult?

    How do you quickly find the best $/SC option?

    I make heavy use of sites such as Skyscanner, Matrix ITA and momondo when searching for a flight. Love their sort by price and duration options, but what I’d really love is a sort by $/SC which would obviously be reward program specific (QFF in my case) How do you quickly find the best $/SC...
