    Garuda Indonesia cancellation/refunds. What do they mean?!

    Coming back to this two years later because I have an answer, after looking deep in GDS fare conditions. Hopefully this is useful to anyone who comes across it. As an example, in the below image, in the Rebook section for Eco Affordable, there are three different penalties. Penalty fee 10% -...

    Article: Qantas Will Refurbish Its Airbus A330s

    I would say the same. I've stayed loyal to Qantas with the change back to A330s on SYD-DPS, which gives more flexibility for A330 and A380 options and a choice of routes to CGK, SIN or DPS (which all suit my needs). But if flights such as QF43/44 went to a narrowbody again on a permanent basis...

    My mistake, I knew (should have known) that! Thanks for the clarification.

    Article: Qantas Will Refurbish Its Airbus A330s

    Having just flown on a A333 VH-EBO with the 737 IFE (I hadn't been on one of those yet, only ones with the newer IFE), it was funny to hear passengers behind me complaining authoritatively that this was the "oldest plane" in the fleet and not as good as the one they came over on. It probably...

    QANTAS putting A330s back on Sydney-Denpasar route

    With the A330 now operating the DPS service, it's interesting to note that it's been a mix of 332s and 333s so far, with another 333 loaded into the schedule for this week. I can't recall 333s operating the route previously, at least on a regular basis (happy to be corrected though).

    Lounge etiquette - sleeping in lounges

    The excellent 24-hour MH Golden Lounge in KL has sleeping spaces, and overnight, it's very quiet and easy to sleep half-upright in one of the many armchair sofas too (which is the only time I've tried sleeping in a lounge). On another note, I still think that's one of the best lounges I've been...

    Changing DSC flight destination booked with Flight Credit and cash

    Appreciate all the replies, very helpful. Thank you all. This is exactly my worry. Looking at what you, @aikman and @offshore171 say, it seems the better option is a connection once in Asia already. I feel like this should be the general advice for anything to do with the call centre! It's...

    Changing DSC flight destination booked with Flight Credit and cash

    Hi AFFers, I've tried to have a look around but haven't come up with an answer to this (hoping that it's more straight forward than I'm thinking, though). If I have a one-way flight booked during the last DSC promotion (Feb/Mar 2023) for travel in December, paid for with a Flight Credit (from...

    Downgraded from Business Class on Qantas due to "tech crew" [pilot] Travel Requirements

    Hey - at least a massage chair is better than a Y middle seat, right? (And Twitter was certainly the place to be last night 😅)

    Downgraded from Business Class on Qantas due to "tech crew" [pilot] Travel Requirements

    Welcome! There were three in fact - a 7.4 three seconds earlier far to the west, and then about 10 minutes later, a 5.0 in about the same location as the 7.1. Inilah Indonesia! Hope it gets better from here and get in touch if you need anything, we have our QF DPS contacts here...

    QANTAS putting A330s back on Sydney-Denpasar route

    So happy to hear this again! This is the reason I booked my flight for December through Sydney, even though both SYD and MEL were down as the 737, and the MEL routing is consistently cheaper and provides more points/SCs. I've been caught out before and stuck with a MEL 737 (including one on...

    Cash or Card? Countries where you still need cash.

    In Singapore, only the older-style ticket machines at MRT stations take foreign cards (the machines that also accept cash). The newer ones don't. Unfortunately, many stations have now replaced all but one of the older machines with the new ones, which is very inconvenient. There was a very long...

    Qantas Reward seats between Australian Cities to Singapore

    As an indication, last year there were still 7 reward seats in Business on 31 Dec from BNE-SIN (not unexpected as it's not an ideal day for travel), and some available on 30 Dec, right up into December. There are still reward seats for both BNE-SIN in Economy and PER-SIN in Business on 31 Dec...

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    Sorry to jump in on the thread, but I'm wondering if someone could please explain the reasoning behind many members waiting for a new membership year to complete the activities and collect the SCs? If it resets every membership year, surely it would be a good thing to collect the 50 SCs every...

    Today's Learnings (MH Flexible Earn on QF & Combined Classic Reward Bookings)

    Glad to read this thread and see others having the same issue. I had booked an MH Economy Flex to get the last few SCs to requalify, and hadn't realised that they would have 0 SC earn. I have found that the best way (as far as I can see) that I can do some intra-Asian flights with some control...

    SYD-DPS truly non-stop in a 738

    Qantas usually blocks 4, 5, 6 and 7 B & D on QF43. Of the many times I've flown on it I have only once had a refuelling stop in Broome.

    Virgin flights to Bali require technical stop in Darwin

    QF43 via Broome again tonight.

    Virgin flights to Bali require technical stop in Darwin

    May be of interest to this thread that on Qantas' 737 Denpasar flights, seats 4, 5, 6 and 7 B & D (the middle seats) are blocked for load restrictions. (This knowledge also makes for a much more comfortable 6.5-hour 737 flight if you book A or C.) Source: a flight attendant on the service in...
