Hi everyone, I hope this is the right category to post my question. Im looking at doing a trip to NYC next year in J for 4 adults (taking my parents). My parents have never really left Australia and never flown J. They wouldn’t have ever dreamt of flying J or seeing NYC (this is worth keeping...

Hi I'm sure this general topic has been discussed but I can't find the thread. On Sunday 30 April, QF7 to DFW was delayed by 24 hours. I needed to get to Montreal and Qantas rerouted me via HNL on QF3 and then UA218 and UA4688. Travel was booked in discount economy and I'm lifetime silver. So...

Hi all, I hope I can get some opinions to help make a call. I am looking to go from Syd to the Us (LAX ideally although any east coast stop will do). I looked at some fares in J and the cheapest seems to be United at about $6.5k. I love the SQ product so looked at fares out of Asia to the...

Norwegian will be leasing 777s from two separate operators to fly Paris-Newark and Rome-Newark over the summer. This will replace 787 services. The aircraft are being leased from Euro-Atlantic Airways (Paris) and Privilege Style Airlines. Norwegian has some great one way 'business class'...

Don't think this has been mentioned on AFF, according to various articles, Silk Air will operate four "trial"/charter flights between Singapore and Broome late May/early June. Interesting, but a shame not bookable without a holiday package, SilkAir’s first trial flights direct to Broome in...

After 12 months + of negotiations, confirmation today that Chinese carrier Donghai (DZ) will operate a twice-weekly service between Darwin and Shenzhen from May, initially flying a B737-800. From the Top End to Shenzhen: Darwin to China direct flights launched for the first time

Sad news for Perth today, Etihad has announced the removal of the Perth route from 01 October 2018. As a Virgin Frequent Flyer really sad to see us lose another option out of Perth after losing the NZ partnership too.

Apologies if previously asked (I have been absent from this group since the demise of the app and what I thought was this forum ended up being a seperate Facebook group!) Have not done the AU to UK direction for a while - now the kangaroo route has returned - are PJ,s offered in J - SYD-SIN leg?

Qantas files one-way Johannesburg – Perth schedule from Dec 2018 Hooray for more QF international flights from Perth! :) Looks as though Qantas will be boosting capacity to Johannesburg over the Christmas period this holiday season. Perhaps no Perth - Auckland this year? :(

Apologies if already posted elsewhere but just saw this come across my Bloomberg. Not sure what this actually means from a FF perspective if VA and NZ will remain strategic partners but interesting nonetheless

Looking for an F award in mid May to early June to Singapore from Mel/Syd. Any recent experience with QF releasing seats closer to the time there is no avaliability at all. Thanks

Air NZ just announced flights from Auckland to Chicago. One of my favourite US cities!! First ever air service to take off between New Zealand and Chicago - Media releases | Air New Zealand

I am wondering if it is possible to determine which routes a particular aircraft model will? For example SQ flies the A350 to Europe but on which routes or to which cities? Can Expert Flyer or another program help with this? Cheers

At least a government agency is reportedly "doing something" Western Australia in active talks regarding direct service to India – Blue Swan Daily I'd much rather have UL start PER-CMB. But again I'm wandering Fred
