    US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens

    Correct. Pretty much every type of material change has to be done in-person, but I've just waited until the next time I'm going through CBP.

    US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens

    IME it's possible to use GE benefits from a UK passport and enter on your AU passport and visa. The issue is that I think you need a visa/Esta in the UK passport to actually register it under GE when entering the USA using enrollment on arrival or at an enrollment centre. After it's registered...

    Best Program to Credit Aegean Flights?

    Have you thought about crediting to Agean itself? I think it's a competitive program for S*, and easier to earn status for than others. I'm almost at S* Gold from one BR flight in Y+ SIN-TPE-LAX, a short trip in Y from CAI-ATH-LCA-ATH-CAI on A3 and a J flight on OS from CAI-VIE-LAX.

    AFF Review: British Airways 787 Club World (SIN-SYD)

    Ahh, I saw the seat plan on Aerolopa but it looks like it's been made before it actually rolls out.

    AFF Review: British Airways 787 Club World (SIN-SYD)

    I'm surprised BA don't already use the -8s and -10s which already have Club Suites on BA15/16. They're in a very small minority not running 1-2-1 on SYD-X-LHR, right? Doesn't seem competitive at all. Even AI has fewer seats per row in J on their -8s.

    Lounge access while transitting

    While individual airline policies vary (AA in the US), OW lounge access based on booking class or status is on on departure only. No access on arrival.

    US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens

    At LAX you don't even scan your passport, it's all done through face recognition. If you have to see a CBP person then you give them your PP.

    US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens

    The entry record only includes the document you entered on, so while I've got GE through my UK passport, I have no I-94 records when I search with my UK passport (which I've never entered on). I only get results when searching with my AU passport. If you're on an E-3 visa and working in the US...

    VISA Waiver Program to USA

    Sorry, that sucks. AFAIK, expedited interviews only happen with genuine extenuating circumstances (not "I already booked flights"). For my previous (E3) visa appointment, I wasn't able to see anything for 5 or 6 months, but they released a whole week or so of availability in Sydney a few weeks...

    Amex Platinum - no longer worth it?

    Looking from the US, where the card ($695?) is already pretty low on my "might eventually apply for" list, it's behind Capital One and Chase (where the Sapphire Reserve gets you Priority Pass + PP restaurant credits for $550). Cant imagine stumping up $1.45k AUD for it... whatever the SUB...

    Inconsistent/Poor QF Business Class Treatment out of Bangkok

    Well we only have to endure this until March, when AY will sprit everyone away, on a 330, still crewed, catered and "entertained" by QF. If QF is consistently bad, don't fly them. I think TG fly 1-2-1 J on the route (maybe 1-2-1 F?). XJ fly it 4x a week too (albeit 2-2-2).

    Qantas A220 to do trips to Asia opening new opportunities (rumor)

    Yeah, I think I mentioned up-thread, but I've done BOS-AUS on the 220 a few times, which is slated at ~4h. Absolutely fine in US F/J. In Y+extra legroom it's alright. Significantly better than 737/320 however you dice it. I got rerouted BOS-MSP-AUS with a 220 on the second leg, and I think...

    Yet another IHG brand - Garner

    Is Indigo is supposed to be somewhere between HI and CP? Last one I stayed at (Austin) was pretty cough, I don't really see the US ones as better than a HI.

    Add QF Status to AA Booking?

    FYI I've had a pretty good hit rate on day of departure just asking check-in and Admiral's Club agents to upgrade to MCE as QF Gold.
