    Any international flights still operating to Australia?

    Does anyone know - as of today (I know we can't predict the future); any airlines still flying to Australia after 26/3? I can see I can still book Emirates and AA (even though LAX-SYD is supposed to be suspended till May) - my partner is in the US at the moment and she can't really come back...

    Emirates flights to Australia

    Looks like Emirates has suspended BNE services - but SYD and MEL are still going. Does anyone think those services will be suspended as well?

    VA Business Award and Expert Flyer Availability doesn't match?

    Hi I have checked Award availability on Expert Flyer for BNE-LAX for 5/9/2019, but it doesn't seem to be available when I try to book it? Is the allocation just for upgrades? Many thanks!

    Any difference between any HKG-TPE Flights leaving the same time?

    CX has two flights leaving at the same time from Hong Kong to Taipei - Are there there any differences between the flights? I am looking at either CX450 or CX474. Thanks!

    Is A380 F worth the effort?

    I will be travelling to London in March and deciding between flying from BNE or going via SYD. Is it worth the effort to go through SYD for the long haul?

    Which F seat to choose for CX 777 for the family to minimise disturbance?

    I will be travelling from HKG to LAX in first, with my wife and my 2.5 yo daughter (sorry!). At the moment I am assigned 1A, 1D and 2D, but I would assume taking 3 seats from D and K make more sense and less likely to disturb the others? If you are travelling in F in the same flight in us and...

I have a circle pacific trip coming up in F and I can have an option to put it into CX so that I will be Gold, or in Qantas and make me Gold as well. I have already made the decision to...

    Double points only at hotel restaurants?

    Has anyone spoken to Amex about this yet? I regularly dine in whilst away at hotel restaurant, and despite paying and not charging it to my room it still bills as per hotel. Anyone have any solutions to this?

    CX FF info doesn't hold for Qantas Award booking

    I tried to put my CX number in for the a classic J reward for better seat selection but the booking engine put my QF number back. It sort of make sense, but with their strict policy at the moment, that might have implication for lounge entry say for an international flight. Basically, if I...

    Marco Polo Diamond refused entry to BNE First Lounge

    According to most members BNE is nothing to rave about, but was refused entry as I have put my QF NB number on the booking instead of the CX Diamond. The dragon was very rude about it too. However, service was very attentive at the QP. I couldn't find any terms and condition about you need to...

    Guesting to Domestic Business Lounge on Oneworld Status

    I booked a JASA BNE-MEL in February in J, and a friend is travelling on the same flight in Y. I have CX Diamond status - does it need to be on my boarding pass for me to guest him into the Business Lounge or would a show of the membership card sufficient? Also, would I have better selection of...

    Something funny happen today. I am trying to cancel my free flight from the Plat Reserve Card today and after entering my card number, the usual options were not available.

    We will be travelling to Melbourne for a week with Mrs Sparoz and my by then 7 months old daughter. Any suggestions on where to stay? We haven't really even plan what we will be doing, but probably thinking of driving to Daylesford for stay there for 3 days. I am SPG Gold and HH Diamond, but...

    Chasing Status? Or not?

    I am a NB but generally travel through J exclusively using points. I have just learnt about JASA from the sticky and just want to see if there are reasons why I should be chasing status as well? Because of family in HKG and routing, I tend to travel through CX internationally. Many thanks for...
