Not sure which forum this goes in sorry...looking for RTW in PE (or mostly PE) in January. not many stops. One on each continent would be fine. Trying to get to Oaxaca, Mexico in particular. I am Gold on SQ til October only, nothing else useful apart from a few Emirates points but wanting status...

I have June flights via KF which I want to change until December. I can select the new flights but can't push the button to submit the request, it's greyed out. I can't get hold of anyone at SQ..seems like they never refunded 500k points from a trip never taken in December 2020 and I keep going...

This is kind of a weird development but I had heard that Emirates had started routinely greeting pax with “Dr” in front of their name by saying (basically) “welcome to the flight, we will contact you for any medical problems during the flight”. I thought people were being precious and then it...

Hi! I need to fly from Melbourne to Vienna for a meeting starting early on the 3rd of June 2018 and stretching until the 8th of June. I am QFF with no status but we get 300,000 points a year and fly to NYC every couple of years in J (i.e. getting a few status credits by flying QF or CX won't...

I can't find anything specifically about this although someone must have asked? I was just sent a Westpac Platinum card + Amex due to a new home loan, no annual fee so I said yes (I think there was a sign-on bonus)? I chose the non Qantas option because I want to explore Singapore/Virgin but...

I am travelling MEL-HKG-Newark and want to take my little Launchkey keyboard on board to record some music on my laptop (with NC headphones on obviously). My family is insisting that it will be confiscated. Surely it would be OK? Here's a picture: Novation Launchkey Mini Mk2 USB/MIDI keyboard +...

I need to get to a shop somewhere in town tomorrow to buy a bag for a trip. I have the privilege/scary responsibility of about 50 hours of flying around the world with small children. So I will have my laptop, my little MIDI keyboard/sequencer, an iPad for each kid, four sets of headphones as...

I'm doing MEL-HKG-Newark on CX in J in April, with a 3 year old. I know there were issues with line of sight to kids previously in the J configuration but had heard the cabin had since changed. Someone told me that in 2016 they still had trouble communicating with the kids. The flights are CX134...

I have MEL-HKG-JFK and then LAX-BNE booked on QFF points but still need to get JFK-LAX tickets. QF tells me that I can't do that on points because it isn't part of the JFK-LAX-MEL direct flight? is it really not possible to book a one way ticket domestically on AA using QF points? Admittedly...

Cathay were planning to start flying direct from hong kong to israel sometime this year - is this happening - has anyone heard? Trying to book for 2017.

We have an open jaw trip on QF/CX FF and need to make our own way from NYC to LAX. I'm with QF FF but no status, so AA would be an OK option. I am Gold on VA though and we have family pooling so maybe Virgin is an OK option too. Unfortunately QF won't let us use points to get on the QF metal NYC...

I know I'm probably being lazy but all the threads I have found on searching relate to people still holding onto their old Westpac KF cards. I need to get a second credit card account and would like something that (somehow) gets me KF points, be that via a rewards scheme that converts to KF...

I need a second card solely to pay income tax, remit government charges and so on, stuff I can't do on my current card for points. Does anyone have a cheap option for this for the QF program?

Why are there no QF FF Classic flights from Australia to HKG or Japan for the end of the year? We were trying to book the standard 353 days ahead and despite lack of status can usually get tickets well ahead (at least in Y). In the end we were able to get flights on Cathay all the way to Tokyo...

Has anyone else had this problem? Am searching for J classic awards (Y also not working though) from Melbourne to any of Hong Kong, Singapore, LA over the Xmas New Year period. I get "flight search error...no outbound flights available". Also: "error #9200". Called the centre and they said "they...

A friend says they were flying an intra-Europe flight to connect to a long-haul flight in J via London and they were told at the airport that the short leg wasn't booked with any luggage allowance, and they had to pay before boarding. Can that happen?

Am travelling to Tokyo with a bunch of mates later in the year on QF. We have MEL-SYD arriving at 1955 and leaving SYD for Tokyo at 2130...in J I assume this is enough time to comfortably make it barring some unusual catastrophe? I usually travel with kids and would leave some crazy long time in...

I went to Sydney and back from MEL today, upgraded both ways and really enjoyed the new 767 seats. Actually I was expecting the A380 seats but think I am confusing with the newly fitted-out 747s? Meal was good because I ordered Indian vegetarian, I was very surprised this actually appeared on a...

Hi, Flying Cathay to Europe for the first time since I was bumped up to "Business" (i.e. something less comfortable than todays premium economy) in 1989. We are in J but the OH is slightly claustrophobic and is concerned that the two-row mini cabin at the front of J (see screen cap attached)...

I flew back from honolulu to Melbourne yesterday on Jet* "business" class; it seemed the crew were the same the whole time; what rest arrangements are there for CC and coughpit crew on this flight? Where do the pilots rest? Co-pilot seemed to be hanging out in the galley...long flight, we were...
