I don’t think QF would be allowed to make an agreement of this nature with CX or JL without anti-trust immunity (which they do not have).

United is now cancelling LAX-BNE services.

United has just announced it is cancelling its seasonal BNE-LAX route, which was due to operate from December 2024.

A hypothetical question for the AFF community... If airlines were hotels, and hotels were airlines, which ones would they be? easyJet in Europe has its own line of hotels called easyHotel, so that's an obvious one. But you can use a bit more imagination ;) For example, I'd suggest that Air...

Have you ever spent such a small amount of time at your destination that you had the same cabin crew (or even the same plane) when you flew back? I'm sure a few people here would have done immediate turnarounds at the destination where you didn't even leave the airport, e.g. for a status run or...

Does someone want to inform Accor of this typo on their website? 😝 Should be 30,000 points.

Some years ago, I was able to book a Velocity reward with VA, HX and HU all on one ticket. Perhaps that was because these airlines were all in the points table requiring the lowest amount of points? In any case, if redeeming points you could just book 2x one-way tickets - SQ out and QR back...

This is the configuration: https://www.aerolopa.com/ba-77h As this plane has Club Suites, all of the business seats are pretty good so no need to pay for advance seat selection. You can choose from the remaining seats at OLCI (or a bit earlier if you have any oneworld status). Yes, the economy...

1. You've flown first class on a long-haul flight 2. You've flown Jetstar in economy on a red-eye flight 3. You've walked down a busy street in India 4. You've jumped off a bridge or out of a plane (with a harness or parachute attached, of course!!) 5. You've seen the northern and/or southern lights

It’s still there are far as I can see? Showing an offer expiry date of 3 June 2024. https://www.aircanada.com/au/en/aco/home/aeroplan/credit-cards/hsbc.html#/home:

Crowne Plaza - the place to met.

This would be possible if booking with Velocity points. Not if buying a cash fare.

As you may know, South African Airways is a Star Alliance member and a Virgin Australia partner airline. It's also one of the airlines you can choose as the status airline when you get the HSBC Star Alliance credit card. I sent an email to South African Airways last month to ask what (if any)...

Looks like NTL is closed with all flights cancelled for the next 24 hours while the runway is assessed after the emergency landing.

There are some hostels in the USA but they’re not nearly as common as in other countries. Variable quality. I found (for example) Green Tortoise Hostel in San Francisco quite acceptable, though.

I had family members flying Qantas out of BNE domestic this morning. They experienced the same issue. Took an hour to drop their bags. Flight was then delayed and only 1/2 checked bags arrived at the destination.

Probably no point spending time and resources pursuing this further when there is almost no chance they would be successful. I’m surprised they ever even tried in the first place.

Yep. AFF covered this in 2020: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/rex-strong-armed-tactics-exposed/

I guess the economics of the partnership didn’t stack up.

Checking in for an Avianca flight. The agent "helpfully" suggests that she has a window seat a couple of rows forward, and asks if I'd like to move there. I agree. Once airside, I realised that I originally had a row to myself, and now have two seat neighbours. The flight is nearly empty so it...
