    Finnair but not Funnair - humph!

    Anyone flown J on Finnair's A350-900 and found all the window seats blocked? This is for April 2025 so there's no way they have all been booked - they are blocked. Very not happy, Jan!

    Do you need to collect and recheck bags when transiting Delhi Airport?

    Can anyone help clarify the situation at Delhi airport because I'm a little unclear about the transit procedure... Below screenshot is from the QF website But the airport website itself makes no mention of this and says: Has anyone who has transmitted here this year confirm whether you...

    Can you beat this weird alternative routing?

    Looking for MEL-LAX and QF has offered me this as my only option (for my dates). Has to be the weirdest routing offered by QF to date! Can you beat it?

    AirBNB is asking for an upfront cash cleaning fee

    Has anyone been charged a cleaning fee for an AirBNB rental off the books? I have booked an apartment in France. This is only my third AirBNb rental so I'm still very new to it all. When I emailed to confirm the street address the owner replied and included a request to pay her mother 40€...

    Can I bag drop 29hrs prior to departure in SIN? (Stopover on different tickets.)

    I'm flying into SIN on BA and leave 29 hours later on SIA (different tickets). Is it possible to collect my bags and check them straight in for my SIA flight or will I need to lug them to my hotel for the night? (Anywhere else I'd have thought it's a flat no, but I'm sure I read on AFF that...

    Which VPN service would you recommend?

    There are some older threads on VPN recommendations (Nord seems to come out strong) but in a fast changing scene, I wonder what people are currently using? I only have the simple desire to stream Australian offerings in the UK and Europe and BBC iPlayer when in Australia. Which VPNs would you...

    Is redeeming QFF on CX a total no go in your mind at the moment?

    In your mind, is Cathay Pacific a total no go zone, or would you fly them for a straight forward reward flight booking over a journey with two other airlines pieced together messily and expensively? That's what I need to decide. I'm flying from CDG-MEL at the end of July in J and am currently...

    Do you use a travel agent for reward bookings?

    I'm in favour of booking travel through an agent but had never considered doing it for reward bookings. I didn't think you could until just before COVID hit when a TA told me once that he does. So I'm curious, do you use a TA for reward bookings?

    Why have QFF points been awarded for a credit card I don't possess?

    :eek: I don't own an HSBC credit card... I quite seriously don't know what to do. Suggestions?! Has anyone else had this happen?

    Changes to flight times require traveller to accept but no communication issued + min connection in SYD

    Two concerns about my upcoming trip flying JL from CDG-HND-SYD (then QF to MEL) in December for which I redeemed QF points to fly in J. Perhaps you all can offer some reassurance or appropriate course of action. 1) I discovered a note in MMB today that the departure time of the second leg...

    Current energy companies linked to Flybuys/Everyday Rewards

    Apart from Red Energy (QFF partner) are there any other points earning energy companies at the moment? I can't seem to find any so thought I'd double check with the brains trust.

    Looking for a list of release dates of reward seats per One World carrier

    Can anyone point me to a list of release dates of reward seats per One World carrier? I searched and couldn't find one. Keen to do some planning/booking for June-July 2023 and as a Bronze QFF member I realise I will need to be quick onto it once they are released.

    Early check in - is there any advantage?

    Are there any advantages to the passenger for checking in for an international flight earlier than the day of the flight? (Aside from running late on the day.) Maybe I should rephrase it to ask, is there any disadvantage to checking in days before a flight? Pre mobile phones, you just rocked...

    No lounge access in Paris?

    Currently the Kris Flyer lounge is closed in Paris as is the Star Alliance lounge. Does this mean that there is no lounge at all for business/first passengers to access?

    Qantas Money bonus points offer

    Does anyone know how frequently bonus points offers for loading foreign currency onto Qantas Money tend to be issued? The last one was in December. This was the first since Covid hit the world (understandably) so now I can't recall how often they tend to come out.

    Multi trip insurance - 45 days trip duration (on ground or including travel)

    I took out Medibank's Multi-trip insurance for my two trips this year with a 45 day period as recommended by the in store agent, even though my first trip will be 46 days in total including travel times. This doesn't seem right to me and so I will ring Medibank and confirm (I know I am going...

    Incorrect Points Awarded

    I made a purchase with Marks & Spencer today through Velocity eStore which offers 2 points for every $ spent. I spent $108 and was awarded 144 points. Nothing I purchased was in the "no points earn" category. The amount doesn't equal 2 x the amount in Pounds Sterling. So I've written to ask...

    Customer v Call Centre reward availability + what would you do in my situation?

    I have been having a terrible terrible time trying to book a BC reward flight from Europe to Melbourne in June. Anytime I've found available routing and gone to book it I've got as far as the step before payment and then received an error code saying they are unable to confirm my flights...

    Error message (15079 - 23951 - 420)

    Has anyone had error code (15079 - 23951 - 420) come up when booking a rewards flight and resolved it without having to ring the call centre? There's a projected two hour wait for this non-status flyer :( I'm looking at the booking the itinerary below - do you think it's the Nordic Regional...
