    QF82 sold as KL4892.. (BP says QF82) Crediting?

    This is way outside my experience... Recently flew CAI-CDG-SIN-SYD. KLM issued e-ticket (074 prefix) CAI-CDG-SIN operated by AF, then SIN-SYD by QF. AF issued boarding pass listing the flight as QF82. Can I credit it to my AA account? OR does the 074 e-tckt throw a spanner in the works...

    Thirty Years ago today - on a ...different...sort of Bali holiday.

    Can't believe its been thirty years. As part of the "Indonesia International Skydiving Championship 1989" (and "Boogie in Bali" :cool:) a mass Sunset jump was made onto Kuta Beach. Most of the jumpers - about 450 - did a "hop and pop" from relatively low altitude, using 8 aircraft...

    J2 A319 at CBR

    This was certainly different. An Azerbaijan Airlines A319 at RAAF Fairbairn. Apparently being used by the President of Afghanistan. Not something you see every day....:mrgreen: Love to see the actual flight path/stops used to get here..... (File photo... I didn't get a chance to take my...

    Nice little add on to a UA "BizFirst" award ticket.

    Flying AKL-SFO next year...used Avianca miles to get 2 seats on the UA service. Too late to get anything ex OZ but great sale fares on NZ to position at AKL... Checked FT for seat recommendations... and bagged the 2 considered "best".... Pleasantly surprised to find we get Arrival Lounge...

    A quick summary of SYD-HND/NRT-ORD... (and onwards)

    Recently used up my Avianca miles for a Biz redemption from SYD to ORD via TYO on NH. SYD-HND was the 787..... and it was every bit a good as others have reported. Of course a brand new NH Business class is likely to be good...right?:D On arrival at HND...EARLY morning..I discovered the next...

    789 or A380 (744??)

    Used AA (ex US of course!) miles for F from ARN-LAS... via LHR and MIA. It SEEMS that LHR-MIA is supposed to be a 388 as of...well... now..... but confirmation of that seems difficult to achieve. LHR-EWR is also available....on the 789..... Decisions ...decisions... Any input from you...

    Confused... Crediting QF marketed/EK operated to AAdvantage?

    I expect not.. but on the Aadvantage site it says "Miles are also earned on QF codeshare flights".. ...and the only proviso is about J*.. What say the experts? :mrgreen:

    SN, JFK and SEN lounge access...

    Flying JFK-BRU in a few hours... in one of the "throne" J/C seats on SN's A330... Should be good! Currently sitting in the LH SEN lounge and pondering on the unusual access rules... One doesn't get in here on a Business class ticket... but my NZ *G card did the trick.... Happy of course -...

    First time on QF in ages... mixed experience so far!

    Making my way to CMB on an AA 35k Business redemption CBR-MEL-SIN-CMB. As originally booked it was to be a 767 ex CBR then a 744 ex MEL. Checked a week prior to find the 744 had become an A330.. so a little miffed.. but hey, substitutions happen. No (apparent) priority check-in at CBR...

    Dubai Connect..

    OK.. I think I understand the benefits (accomodation/meals/visas) and rules here... more than x hours until first availble flight and so on.. BUT... what sort of itinerary would meet these requirements? Seems that (say) SIN-DXB-LHR never would - as their are flight pairs available with shorter...

    Air China Business Class... Just a short note...

    I recall a request for reports on CA's Business class in another thread.. which of course I cannot now locate... ..but..as I had a few photos and can make a comment or two.... The seats are very similar to TK's A330/777 fit.. Properly flat and quite comfortable.. Slippers (should be...
