That statement is dated 14 May. Given that everyone knows Bonza has folded, I imagine updating their website is no longer a priority (even if they had the staff to do it, which they don't).

There will be very few Flybuys points whales who have never switched on auto-transfer. The bonuses for switching it on have never been fantastic and even a 15% bonus for every single point hardly seems worth holding out for. Even if you had a million Flybuys that would only net you an extra...

Apologies - I was attempting humour. Of course it is phishing spam.

Are we sure about that?

You can get around it by factoring in a 24 hour stop or booking the two flights on separate redemptions. If you go for the former option then you may get lucky with a schedule change allowing you to renegotiate the flight times to eliminate the stopover.

Just like their creditors who are also going Toulouse.

You will have to pay change fees each time. 5,000 points per person per change. But you have zero chance of being able to book this as a oner.

I don’t think this is really necessary. You are going to have to book flights as they are released and amend your itinerary several times. Just book the first flights in line and then add more flights by phoning up. It’s not as daunting as people say. I would also have a think about how you’re...

According to Wikipedia, Port Hedland has a population of 15,000. Could that sustain an unsubsidised air route to anywhere?

It would want to be for a $1200 annual fee.

I have a current booking to get to Havana mixing two redemptions and a revenue flight - with the only stopover being two nights in AKL. The convoluted route was necessary as I am travelling over Christmas 2024: MEL-SYD-AKL-HKG-KUL-BKK-HEL-LHR-MIA-HAV - that's 9 flights with seven airlines (QF...

In a similar vein, can it be arranged for people to post anonymously in this thread so they don’t have to reveal themselves to be snobs?

I really don’t see anything wrong with it. If there are enough middle seats there’s no guarantee one will be next to you - unless you pay. It’s just like if people didn’t choose seats then someone would end up in the extra legroom seat by chance - but letting people pay extra guarantees it will...

I'm guessing the pilots are not the ones likely to be in financial trouble and unable to find new work.

Surely they are both assets and liabilities - that balance each other perfectly.

Do they have champagne and rose petals on repossession flights?

AT also.

I am just one data point, but I search for the best fare of the day on Skyscanner or somesuch and then I also check any websites of airlines that occur to me as likely to fly the route. I then buy the cheapest fare on the airline's own website. I do not use sales Apps and don't imagine I ever...

Just my own thinking, but it really isn't cool to try to get pro rata refunds. Churning works based on us expecting the card provider to stick to the letter of an agreement, even though it is disadvantageous for them to do so. Not sticking to your side of the bargain once they have delivered on...

That's harsh. You could just say nobody should fly a new airline - in which case a new airline can never become a stable airline. I remember being similarly sceptical of Scoot - and would never have dared to buy a Scoot ticket - but I'm glad others did.
