I know that many of you are enjoying Matt's AFF on Air podcasts. As you probably know this is a free service available to all our members. But did you know that Matt also conducts regular webinars over at Frequent Flyer Solutions, our sister website. Faced with plummeting passenger demand and...

I'm trying to book Classic award flights using my Qantas Frequent Flyer points on a flight to Europe on Qatar Airways (via Doha) - for about 11 months time. But I can't see using the Qantas website, multi-city booking system, any Classic award flights on Qatar flights ex Australia. For example...

Singapore Airlines has reportedly removed award inventory from all partner airlines until at least 1 September 2020. So it's not currently possible to book any SQ award flights using United miles, Alaska miles, LifeMiles, etc. (Velocity redemptions on all partners remain unavailable anyway.) SQ...

I haven't come across this before... On the Qantas website, it seems you can now book JL codeshare flights operated by Korean Air? At least, that's being offered when I search for flights from ICN-HEL... Who would've thought you could use Qantas points to fly on a Korean Air aircraft!

I'm trying use my Qantas points get two, one-way business seats with Qatar from LHR-BNE. The QF site only shows one available each day whereas BA and AA both show two. I called Qantas Premium to try and see if they can see different but they see the same as me. My question is: is it normal for...

Hi all, Is it just me or has JAL changed their website? It has been a few months since I tried, but I now cannot for the life of me see where I can search for oneworld availability. I am logged into the JAL mileage bank as I used to do but cant find where I can searchonworld award flights. Can...

Is there ever QF61 QF62 Award Availability? Seems like those flights never appear in an awards search on Qantas,

Apologies if this has been answered previously - I'm FF Gold (soon to be Platinum) and looking to travel SYD - SFO in May in Premium Economy with the view to do a points upgrade to J. Just wondering if I have a better chance of an upgrade in booking a Premium Economy cash fare vs Premium...

So as part of our honeymoon I have been looking at standard award availability for rooms across a number of cities including London, Paris, Edinburgh, Helsinki across a number of dates later in the year I am Hilton Honors Gold and have had about a 50% success rate in finding the hotels we want...

I spent quite a few hours over the last few days/evenings making bookings for an upcoming family trip to NZ. In true AFF form, I was looking to maximise FF program points/miles in both earn and burn ends of the spectrum, while minimising the $$$ cost. The challenge was to get three of us from...

I'm looking at visiting NYC early-mid next year. I have Velocity Platinum and just over 400,000 points. What's the best way to get a business seat? I was looking at purchasing Freedom fares (around $2800 return) and then using 90,000 points to upgrade (return) from Economy to Business. I've read...

For a second time now this has happened. I can see an award seat available on the Qantas website, but when I want to change my existing booking to that seat over the phone, they cannot ring up an available seat. This time the agent states that they have a different system to the "commercial" one...

I’m trying to hunt down 2 x award redemptions in either F or J from basically any major port in Europe to anywhere in Australia (we’d love to end up in BNE, but beggars can’t be choosers) around the beginning of October 2020. I’m able to see award availability from MAD and CDG to DXB, but...

Hi, I was having a search on different flights and couldn’t find any classic award flights out of ADL in either business or first on emirates to European destinations. Had a look out of Sydney and couldn’t find any either. Has there been a reduction in emirates awards as there used to be...

Flying SYD - SIN - LHR in about 12 days on a biz award. Ticketed, all fine. Had also waitlisted flights one and two days prior. The only one that cleared was the SIN - LHR leg, i.e. half one of the waitlists. I look online and there is an earlier flight that can connect my to my cleared waitlist...

So earlier this year when i started looking at OWA, availability for Cathay or JAL was easily seen and accessible 350-355days out to me (bronze member). Now I'm seeing very little to no availability until 280-290 days.. which is concerning to me completing my OWA. I saw a comment somewhere...

Unable to travel recently, have been silver for years but have dropped back to bronze. Would 'regain' silver status this yr with intended normal travel 'however' could alternatively incorporate this 'normal travel' into a one world classic award trip (5 stopovers). I am thinking, as bronze...

Hi I have checked Award availability on Expert Flyer for BNE-LAX for 5/9/2019, but it doesn't seem to be available when I try to book it? Is the allocation just for upgrades? Many thanks!

Singapore Airlines will start using an Airbus A350-900 with Premium Economy seating on its MEL-WLG route from 1 November. Interestingly, for KrisFlyer redemptions there is no price listed for Premium Economy award bookings on the SQ award chart for this route. You also cannot book Premium...
