I'm in planning mode for my next holiday (contemplating Cape Town to see the great whites). I have 900K QFF points. I prefer to use my points for business class fares, I don't see economy as a good use of points as the taxes etc cost almost the same as just buying the economy ticket. Just doing...
Clearly it sounds like the writer hasn't tried Business let alone First before.
Also the writer seems to think everyone flying First gets the First Host walking them around the airport which simply is not the case.
Other than that it was a reasonable article, I think.
Ever wondered what it’s...
This could be getting to conspiracy level - but stay with me here. This all started after reading about Etihad Guest's reward flight cost increases...
Today I attempted to book two F seats from MXP - AUH - SYD on Etihad through Velocity.
Availability is showing across multiple dates on Expert...
Hi all,
So we have accumulated QFF points quicker then I imagined thanks to some great sign-on bonuses and friendly AFFer's using my AMEX referral link.
I believe in the next few months mrs rock and I will have nearly enough points to travel some first class legs, when we were only planning on...
So I have the option of flying on the A321 or the 757-200 on Delta 'first' class from LAX to MSP.
The A321 flight is better timing wise, but was wondering if anyone had flown on either or (better) both these birds at the pointy end?
Which is better?
In the Qantas first class lounge at LAX tonight. There’s barely a seat. Kids running everywhere and no service. It’s like the Qantas Club in Melbourne on a Friday at 6pm. A disgrace. What a coughpy airline.
I came across Dennis Bunnik J/F reviews on youtube yesterday while trying out our new UHD TV and I like this guy, he tells it in every day terms how it is flying J/F and the lounges and perks in many parts of the world on many full service airlines enjoy.
I have been trying to book 2 business or first class flights to new york from sydney with Emirates but it's just not coming up at all via qantas frequent flyer website. I am sure i have searched this before and it was available. Emirates business/ first class to Europe are still coming up. Does...
Dear AFFers
As 2017 draws to a close and after reading a number of reports on which airline has the best First/Business/Premium/Economy experience I have been inspired to start a series of polls for our own community. Given our shared love of travel, I'm sure that we are well positioned to give...
Hi! I am flying Jetstar international in a few days and as a QF platinum FF am wondering if anyone knows if I am able to use the qantas first class check in suite at Sydney airport to check in prior to the Jetstar 3 hour departure time? Many thanks!
Emirates has announced the routes that will get the new 777 first class beginning December 1st; Geneva and Brussels.
This is an excerpt from the Emirates' press report:
Operating one of the two daily flights from Dubai to Geneva, travellers can enjoy the new product on flight EK083 departing...
Hello All
I took this trip back in summer and recorded it using iPhone 6. So please bear with the video quality and shaky footage. It is very sad that we have lost all EK A380 on Tasman route of out AKL.
Background:
Every year Mrs DD takes kids back to NZ for Xmas. I booked their return flight...
Hi all - long time lurker, first time poster :)
My husband and I are very close to booking our QF Classic Rewards seats to Europe for 2018 and I'm undecided on which flights to choose. We'll be flying First Class on Emirates into Amsterdam - for both of us it will be our first trip flying F so...
Goodness gracious me, I’ve just had the worst flight in first class I’ve ever had. Now I stress the point that it was far from horrible (unlike the EY Y flight from AUH to CAI the following day) and I count myself as very lucky to fly in first class anyway, but it appears that my run of good BA...
I need to fly from HKG to BKK next year as part of a longer trip - and all other flights are locked in.
I was looking at just paid economy ($200 each) or business ($600 each) but I've found availability in CX 777 first class. It's 76,000 QF points + $100 for 2 of us - has anyone done this...
Here are some pics from my recent LH F experience. I loved every minute and would highly recommend it.
I had a connecting flight to FRA from TXL. That part of the trip wasn’t memorable. TXL is like something from the Cold War with cramped gate areas and a scrum for priority boarding that makes...
Hi guys,
I have done a big clean out at home, and am making available to AFF members the following:
2 x Qantas First Class Pyjamas L/XL size (Martin Grant) and First Class Amenity Kit (PJ;s and Kit will go together)
1 x L/XL Qantas Business class Pyjamas (Peter Morrissey)
I have donated about 20...
Article in the AFR today
The biggest loophole is - how was there Premium Economy when cigarettes were still allowed on airplanes? So I'm calling the article B/S.
