    HSBC Star Alliance credit card in Australia

    Just curious - are most people picking Aeroplan or Kris? What are the pro s/ cons in trying to credit star alliance points to access rewards? Is there much difference between the ability to access rewards on the two schemes? Can you book VA flight rewards with SQ flight number, through...

    HSBC Star Alliance credit card in Australia

    my card arrived in the mail after 7 business days. I know AusPost is slow these days, but it felt very slow to me. In the past ANZ, NAB etc seem to issue these cards pretty quick smart...

    Qantas Staff Incompetence - Ticketed 2 adults and not infant, leading to denied boarding

    Agree This is like saying - we outsourced our training, made it substandard, pocketed a bonus, and now because our poorly trained or underqualified staff couldn't issue you a ticket properly, we will take your money and then blame you. Having said that - it would be good to hear more of the...

    HSBC Star Alliance credit card in Australia

    I nearly missed mine - the title of the email was "Resume your Star Alliance Rewards registration". Not exactly obvious. When I actually read the email it had my Star alliance ID in the body. Was that the same for you? Maybe your partner missed the email? Easy to do..

    HSBC Star Alliance credit card in Australia

    Thanks.. So the key point of difference between the choice of schemes is for those ppl who want to earn that FF currency from flights and then book rewards. If you just want to flash your gold at the lounge and attach your Velocity #, then the only difference between the schemes seems to be...

    HSBC Star Alliance credit card in Australia

    Actually.. Now I dig into the Emirates fine print... It looks AC 50K members need to be flying from Canada to get EK lounge access.... How unfortunate 😂 Aeroplan 50K, 75K, and Super Elites can enjoy Emirates Lounges in Dubai with a guest on routes that include travel between Dubai and Toronto

    HSBC Star Alliance credit card in Australia

    Does anyone know if SQ gold has any EK lounge benefits? I would assume not... But then I was very surprised to find that AC gold has partnership which allows entry to EK business lounge in Dubai (no guest). I most frequently fly EK, QF, TAP... Mix of QF and VA in Aus. So if I'm not going to be...

    Is Qantas for real?

    It sounds like the Sydney air traffic controller shortages were a massive issue. Good to see the CEO get a grilling - it's easy to blame generous sick leave policies, but it sounds like they've mismanaged the workforce profile

    QF Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    I feel like they could make a TV show out of this. Its such a hard question isn't it? On one hand, from what's been written here I don't get the impression that there was a genuine hardship case or that their flight would be super impacted by not being able to stay together. On the other...
