An Infrequent Flying Pom

[Pom-DownUnder]

Greetings All,

Found this forum over christmas and have enjoyed the topics and a good few of the podcasts so far, very informative and easy listening.

In regard to flying I am not a frequent traveller, might have one or two short domestic trips for work each year and then usually a trip back to the UK every 2 years.

Single income house and basically looking for a way to make the long hauls more comfortable for a 6'1" 120 kg guy lol.

Currently focusing on qantas although I am wondering if that has been a mistake with the additional charges on redemption's which I learned about from this forum and the improvements that velocity seem to be making. Signed up with Qantas just under a year ago and have about 180k points at this point.

Hope everyone had a good break

Good to have you along Pom-DownUnder . I make 2 visits to UK each year at present and have found good value with Finnair and Cathay at different times for the premium cabins.

Heya,

Thanks OATEK, their premium economy does seem very reasonable compared to QF, does it still give good miles/status with QF?

Thanks

All the other OWE airlines only give you about 50% pts/SC to QFF. Finnair do comfort seats at the front of Y in the A350 that are about as good as QF PE. I just did AY in J using CX on the 1st and last legs and it gave me 480SC and 29k pts.

wow, i think PE is the most I would be able to stretch to for paying out of pocket for so not sure how far down the SC path i'll get, but we'll see!

Welcome @Pom-DownUnder . You must be an aisle seat.

my britishness means my guilt is less involved when i'm aisle and getting my too broad shoulders bumped by the trolley rather than imposing over some poor neighbour
