business class

Taking a few trips soon and will be collecting a few toiletry bags from J seats. Do the contents of the toiletry bags you receive from the airline need to go in a transparent bag when going through security? I don't recall having to do so when I was in the US.

I received an email the other day for this promo: “When your business signs up to IHG Business Edge and a company representative stays at least one qualifying night by 14 May 2024, your business will be rewarded 5,000 IHG One Rewards points.” Further down in the email, it mentions instant IHG...

To the very friendly chap I met yesterday morning that invited myself and my work colleague into the Sydney Qantas business lounge just after we got through screening, I want to say a big thanks. Benjamin gave us a quick tour of the lounge and then headed off on his way. Most of my trips are...

Has anyone flown China Airlines Business class recently and able to share how they found it and also any details on the wine list (& champagne) and dinning options?

My daughter and her new husband chose to go to NZ for their honeymoon so I used Qantas points to book them on EK412 from Sydney to Christchurch in Business class. Before they flew I suggested that they casually mention to the crew on boarding that they were on their honeymoon. I thought they...

I'm wanting to use points for a ski trip next year in Jan/Feb. I'm wanting to fly Business class (or first if I find the unicorn) and am pretty open with dates, but I'm finding very little availability and nothing that seems enticing. The AA site seems to only give me routings on Fiji Airways...

We’re looking at booking Business Class flights from Perth to Europe later in the year, maybe with Emirates as their schedules, all A380's and take-off/landing times etc suit. As the return Business Saver fares for 2 come in at over $3,600+ cheaper than a Flex fare, were looking at a Saver...

If a buy a return economy ticket and decided to upgrade to a business class for the return league, is that possible? Or if I buy a return Business Class and swap my seat with a relative after boarding the plane for the return league? The relative of mine a return economy ticket but is recovering...

I'm travelling next month to Helsinki: Sydney to Singapore on Finnair/Qantas, and Singapore to Helsinki on Finnair. Both legs J. I'm travelling to a convention in Finland, and I've found that a friend is travelling from Melbourne and will be on the same plane into Helsinki, no OW status to...

There always was a one-off joining fee. But it was often free to join. But AFAIK, there never been a annual fee. That seems to be confirmed even here: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/qantas-business-rewards-free-join/ So what's all this...

We all know that for unknown reasons, Business Class from Manila is a fraction of the price of J from Australia. But has anyone actually done it? Is there a catch? I'm currently looking at $2800 return from Manila to Dublin. It will cost another thousand for direct (economy class) flights from...

Some good fares still available, for various travel dates in 2024. Can leave from BNE, SYD or MEL, flying QR to Doha and then AY (QR codeshare) to HEL. https://www.flightfinderau.com/business-class-to-helsinki-with-qatar-airways-finnair-from-5211/ I can't seem to find the same fares available...

Wondering about Etihad's excess baggage fees... would love any input on the matter. Recently flew Etihad business class (I) from CAI to SYD. The ticket comes with 40kg total checked luggage allowance - each bag could not weigh over 32kg. I checked in 2 x bags. 30kg and 12kg. So was expecting to...

Has anyone had any luck in the past bringing forward a J international booking to the same day earlier flight (similar to the options often presented for Domestic)? Looking at moving from QF142 to QF140 (2 hours earlier) AKL-SYD leg. Flying J (non award seat) which has J seats available...

I just spent a bit of time on Google Flights looking for the cheapest round-trip J airfares from various starting points in Asia. I figured I might as well share this list here as it may be of interest to some AFFers. I looked for flights originating in Jakarta, Bali, Singapore, KL, Bangkok...

Hello brains trust, I recently flew QR business (about a week ago) and attached my velocity number to the flights. I have yet to have the points and status credits credited to my velocity account. From your experience how long does this usually take? Thanks

Hot in the heels of Qantas, noticed today that Rex is now offering business class MEL-SYD v.v. for $309 each way. I tried finding out from the call centre how long these fares will be valid, or on what routes, but it seems the call centre may now have been outsourced in anticipation of...

Noticed this on Flyertalk. I'd be surprised if a few people weren't interested in this: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/premium-fare-deals/2152868-tp-sq-sin-lhr-1180-sgd-878-o-w-2200-sgd-1637-r-t-business.html
