Not really a big deal but I found it interesting that Qantas and Virgin Australia have very different fees for Visa/Mastercard Mastercard Credit Mastercard Debit Visa Credit Visa Debit Amex Paypal Qantas 0.64% 0.25% 1.03% 0.49% 0.64% 0.69% Virgin Australia 1.27% 0.61% 0.98% 0.53%...

A work trip came up, and I was able to combine this with a trip to Europe that I had planned to form a oneworld RTW itinerary (DGLOB34). This is my first time flying on an RTW-type ticket (although technically not the first time flying round-the-world on one trip). Due to the work commitments...

FlightGlobal: Batik Air A320 pilots slept for 28min on flight to Jakarta CNA: Batik Air pilots fell asleep mid-flight: Indonesian air safety agency There was a period of 28 minutes in which both pilots were asleep. I know they're both part of the Lion Air group, but I wonder how similar (or...

This is a bit of an esoteric question and is probably not relevant in the majority of cases, but I was reading the Classic Rewards T&Cs for a separate thread and came across this section. This is basically saying that after the commencement of travel, but before the departure of any given...

Anyone noticed this announcement on Qantas long haul flights? I'm sure all airlines don't allow children to sleep on the floor, but Qantas is the only airline from the many I've flown to call it out explicitly. Also, it's always a manual announcement and not part of the safety video or anything...

Looks like the account page got a makeover, matching the design of the new mobile app. I do like the look of it. All of the sub pages seem mostly unchanged though. I do wish they put some time into improving the oldest parts of the website though (specifically the MMB page), although I can...

I've struggled to find an answer for this online or in the oneworld clue sheet, and I was wondering if anyone here knows. Maybe this is common knowledge to how these terms are defined that I just don't know. I currently have a DGLOB34 booked for March, and I'm looking to make some changes to...

https://www.airlineratings.com/news/the-real-story-behind-the-lynching-of-qantas/ Certainly not the first website I'd go to for aviation news, however I think this is a (mostly) reasonable take on Qantas' issues in the media as of late. My personal opinion on this article is that whilst it...

I haven't flown Qantas Business on a route that gives out Amenity kits since February, so I've been wondering if anyone has some information or photos on the new amenity kits now that Qantas has (I assume) moved on from the 100th centenary kits. I first saw them in this Et article (Review...

I recently found out that travellers doing international transit at Taipei Taoyuan (TPE) airport originating from the USA no longer need to go through security before connecting onto their next international flight. https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2023/07/21/2003803508...

Was checking EF and saw this. Looks like starting July-ish next year, JAL are bringing the 773 on the Sydney <-> Tokyo route. I assume this is capacity freed by the arrival of the A350-1000 on their JFK route. Looks like there is F and A fare classes available, but they're all zeroed out. Maybe...

My friend was just denied check-in in the business class queue at SYD International on Qantas - They lined up at the Business counter, but were denied by the staff at the desk despite being QFF Silver (OW Ruby). The staff referred to the signage for the line which said "Business - Platinum One...

Hello! I'm considering getting myself an Amex Platinum card, and I've heard good things about Amex's IAP pricing for JAL fares. However, all of these reports are from US-based people, so I'm not actually too sure what pricing is like on ex-AU fares. I was wondering if someone here with an Amex...

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-24/oneworld-alliance-seeking-to-bring-china-southern-into-its-ranks Paywall, but Bloomberg is the only one with the news on this. Obvious question about I wonder what Cathay thinks about this.

I booked a JAL Domestic flight from Haneda to Hiroshima, with the "TOKUBIN7 TypeD Advanced Purchase Fare" fare type in First Class. Anyone know how this credits to QFF? I assume it would be Discount Economy plus First Surcharge and thus Flexible Economy as opposed to Economy plus First...

So I've got an AA Classic Reward booked through Qantas, but when I look up the AA record locator on the AA website, the FFN field is blank (it's properly filled in on my Qantas PNR). I can put in my Qantas one manually, however after clicking save it doesn't seem to "stick", and is cleared again...

Looking to book a trip through to Vancouver in late November. Never been or transited through the USA before, so wondering what folks think about a QF11 (lands LAX 6:05am) to AA1717 (departs LAX 9:30am) connection? Doable? Risky? Don't even try? I know QF11 has not been the most reliable...

My friend (NZ-based) has some Jetstar vouchers (>$1000 ea.) expiring at the end of this year. The condition on the voucher states that they can only be used for one booking, and the rest of the voucher will be forfeited if used for a booking below the value of the voucher. Unfortunately for...
