| Sleeping
on Planes: Tips & Tricks |
After
discovering AFF two years ago, member dhein
has been using the tips & tricks learned
to upgrade to Business and First class.
Thanks to frequent flyer points, this member
has now flown in the pointy end on several
different airlines.
dhein has loved the extra
space and superior catering of the pointy
end, but there's one thing they haven't been
able to achieve: a decent sleep. This member
has tried everything, but even a lie-flat
bed on a brand new plane has failed to help
our member get a good night's sleep in the
air.

Surcharges |

you've ever tried to redeem
your Qantas points for an
international flight, you've
probably noticed that Qantas
fuel surcharges can add
hundreds of dollars to the
cost of your "free" ticket.
This is exactly what one
member found when trying to
book a reward flight from
Melbourne to Vancouver using
Qantas points. In addition
to the points, the fees and
taxes for an Economy ticket
came to more than $500.
Included in this amount is a
Qantas-imposed "carrier
charge" of $328. For a
Business class more...

| New
Direct Scoot Flights to
Berlin |
| Low-cost
carrier Scoot will commence
flights from Singapore to
Berlin's Tegel Airport from
next year. The Scoot flights
to Berlin will run 4x weekly
on a Boeing 787-8 aircraft.
The flight time will be
around 13 hours. The new
Scoot flights to Berlin will
provide cheap, one-stop
connections to Germany from
Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and
the Gold Coast. Very cheap
airfares are expected, and
it is likely that return
fares from Australia to
Berlin on Scoot will sell
for well below more...
