There's a lot of issues to describe, apologies for the long post: I was booked on UA842 SYD-LAX on Sept 3, which was eventually canceled due to mechanical issues. The communication from the gate staff was abysmal. After lining up (for almost 2 hours) at the check-in counter as instructed, I was...

Thanks for your advice - I spotted some of those flights during my searches today and I just double checked, unfortunately they won't be ready for me, I am flying in Feb 2015. Good to have them as a future option though, I might give HND a go one of these days :)

It'll be my first time living in Japan, so I wonder about the postage costs. When I lived in the UK, it was a nightmare. I'm trying to bring as many supplies as I can, hence the extra baggage, mainly because I'm a 5'10" female so finding pants, stockings, shoes and probably...

I guess so. TBH I'd rather pay a little extra for the Business seat - I just flew to Tokyo in JQ Business and back in an exit row in Y. (Row 44 on the Dreamliner from memory) The exit row was allocated by a check-in staff member, so not sure if it was a gift or a punishment, but the proximity...

Good to know! I have pretty specific flight dates as I'm required to arrive within a certain date period for work. That said, I'm also hanging out for the JQ sale tonight just in case... I'll keep an eye out, thank you :D

No worries! I'll do some math and figure out the best value option - I did look at Fed-Exing stuff too, but I still think it's better value to pay the airline for the extra baggage. Maths isn't my strong point, but right away it seems better to redeem one Business seat on JQ with just points...

I'm pretty sure that's what I'll be doing at this stage. I was really just curious about the weight given to the JQ redemption as opposed to the points and pay method. I guess I should value status more highly! Thanks for clearing it up :)

Haha, yep. Thanks samh004, drross and markis10. I've been quietly lurking on these boards for about three years, and I suppose I'm not too concerned about collecting status, given the fact it often doesn't seem to mean a whole lot when it comes to the crunch ;) (I'm half-joking) I'll probably...

I've searched the forums and Qantas/Jetstar websites but haven't found an answer to this one so far... I am looking to book 2 people from Sydney - Tokyo (NRT) in early February. I'm looking at either Premium Economy(Qantas) or Business seats(Jetstar), depending on which airline we go with. I...
