Hi all, Regular Etihad MEL -> MAD flyer (6 times this year). Generally no real problems, enjoy First Class lounge etc. However on my flight earlier this week, was bumped from my chosen extra leg room seat to 44H (back row, aisle OK, but very little recline) on the MEL to ABU leg. I paid...

Hi all, I have hit maintain of my status a couple of weeks ago, review date not until 6 November. I have a few United flights next week - are these effectively 'worthless' when it comes to my next renewal period? My current status credits are 1150 - I presume these simply drop off after 12...

Hi team, Just booked United economy 3 pax return Madrid-NYC for March. Obviously no alignment, but they are a Singapore Airlines partner. I think best action is to create Singapore KrisFlyer accounts, then move points (presume I can't move status credits) across to Virgin from there? Any advice...

HI all, Just back in Madrid after return Madrid/Melbourne flight (with Abu Dabi stopover) and thought I'd share my experience about confusion around luggage allowances. I believe recently Etihad have reduced lowest fare allowance to 23kg from 30kg. I booked on lowest fare, but was 30kg when I...

Hi all, Have been long time reader, I think this is my first post! My family of 3 have just relocated to Madrid for work and life opportunities. I will be travelling back to AU/MEL once a quarter to check in on business things. I have ironically just dropped from Virgin Platinum to Gold, but...
