    Jetstar currency converstion beware

    use a overseas friendly card - such as 28Degrees or HSBC - you will get pretty close to the bank exchange rate on the day for all FX transactions. Using your 'normal' visa or mastercard will provide a poor FX rate plus additional charges

    How long does partner award ticketing take to issue?

    AY normally tickets pretty quickly in my experience if booked online. If it a non-online route and was booked over the phone (ie some domestic Finland destinations) it can take longer as the system may not have the taxes correct. Note AY taxes and charges are pretty low compared to some other...

    Helsinki to Tallinn reward seats

    ferry is the way to go Tallink seems to have the most luxury vessels, although depart from Harbour West which is a little bit out of CBD (10mins by Uber) - normally around EUR30 one way and if you do day trip is around EUR45 return - so may be cheaper than the taxes on the AY flight. Viking is...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    Got some domestic seats released for travel in June, but towards end of conversation the agent indicated that there would be a service fee of 4800 points. I said that this is incorrect as we were completing a transaction that could not be done online. She then said I could do it online, somehow...

    No Stopover option in Dubai on QF flight number

    To/from DXB is often higher airfare than to/from EUR - hence stopovers generally not allowed on QF as part of the joint agreement with EK - however you will find that EK itineraries/rules are more flexible but you will miss the bonus points and credits that you get on the QF codeshare.

    VA FF Boss quoted in the AFR today: “There’s still a seat to London every day in July with one of our partners. It might be a different partner every day but because we’ve got all these different airlines, there’s a variety of routes,” he said.

    Award flights from Sicily to London

    you need to be careful regarding intra EUR reward seats, sometimes the taxes/charges of the partner airline exceed or are very close to the fares available for cash... EG KLM seems to have very high taxes/charges

    Connecting Flight Class

    Hi, sometimes for qantas reward bookings when viewed on QF 'my booking' site if the airline is not QF it simply does list the class for some reason. May have something to do with the system not recognising the other carrier's fare bucket. On your app it should show the class, and another way to...

    Qatar Airways may buy Virgin Australia in full - what are the consequences?

    it is only Qantas that there is a foreign ownership restriction (49%) which is in the Act that privatised it. Any other airline seeking to change ownership would be subject to FIRB (if foreign) and possibly ACCC review

    Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

    since the facelift on the FF landing page, I have noticed that reference to attaining LTG has gone and it now shows 'Enjoy your Lifetime Qantas Club membership.' - which is not the same! My app card still shows LTG. I am currently plat, so perhaps if I drop down at some point the LTG will reappear.
