    Article: The Best Programs for Earning Oneworld Status

    What does MS techniques mean? Manufactured Spending? I read somewhere about this and I forgot. Today, this article brought this back to my memory. Too bad I don't have any expenses to do in the US. That isn't healthy either! lol 🤣 I'd think that there are other benefits from having QF WP...

    Want to fly PER-SYD in December but the only reward seats go via another capital city

    In addition to what @RooFlyer said, I'd also check if both the legs are on J. Sometimes, one of the legs might be in Y.

    Article: The Best Programs for Earning Oneworld Status

    Amazing article @AFF Editor - very informative and enjoyed reading it. I have also sent the link to my mates who are new to the status game and keep asking which airline they need to sign up with. Most of my mates/colleagues fly domestic for work (on QF/VA - BFOD) and some international to...

    What I ate today - the food thread

    Brekkie at the Dockside, Kingston Had the Red Velvet Latte and Ricotta Pancakes! Loved the pancakes - very nice, not overly sweet and very very filling. I woke up craving for something sweet and the pancakes hit the spot. The Red Velvet Latte was good. Will I have it again, may be can’t...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Just read this article on Escape. Don’t think the article is entirely accurate. To me the title sounded like a click bait. When I hear the codes in BP, I tend to think SSSS or something like that, not a codeshare flight number … Also, the line in the article (apparently the FA said) where they...

    Is it just me or is there something pink under the water? Some sort of water plant or algae?

    Qantas Customer (we don't) Care communication re cancelled award flights

    What is the status one needs to see on the CX MMB to know if the ticket is issued or not. I have a MH CR Y booked using QF points on QF website coming up and in both QF MMB and CX MMB I see the status as "Confirmed". Replying to my question - @tdimdad 's response answered it. I can see a etkt...

    "Chef On Call" in Malaysia Airlines Economy?

    Sorry I missed the notifications on this one. I had a lot of notifications and this one landed at the bottom. My point was - I had seen this before on MH ... I understand that this basically a meal choice guarantee, just that I have not seen/experienced this before. So it was more of a surprise...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Still working things out to see if I'm able to join the crawl. Would love to.. Was going to get seats on the CX services ex-SYD or CBR and keep them handy if I'm able to travel on those dates. If not, I can cancel for a 6000 point penalty. If no CX J opens (anymore), I will book Y seats.

    Yea, off the domestic service at SYD Dom, off to Gate 15, wait for the bus to arrive, scan onward international BP, into the bus, arrive at SYD Intl, join the passport control, then security, then to the lounge/gate based on the pax.

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Thanks @dairyfloss - much appreciated. I guess I will have to then take the W/Y CR that is available for sale on QF website. Planning to do CBR-HKG-CBR and trying to experience the CX J for first time. And, chances are the China Eastern/Southern might have been on a QF codeshare number?

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Was on the phone yesterday with (I think) HBA and was told that it is not possible to request CR seat release from partner airlines (CX, in my case). Is this correct? A few weeks back, I was able to get 1xY released on one of the China Eastern/Southern for my uncle. Seat request done via...

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

    Slightly OffT, but yet, OnT - I requested a CR Y release last night from QF. Went to CPT, agent said "sent to ticketing" and collected $$. But ticket not issued until today. So I called in today, went to HBA and agent said "Oh, apologies Mr. Ade, the previous agent made an error and the booking...
