I wonder how the recent tie up of EY and EK is going to affect this? If EY and EK become close enough, QF could become EY's preferred local carrier?

During the time SQ kept extending miles, miles refunded due to cancellation would have been credited back to the account (and could immediately expire). The system that kept extending miles automatically did not catch these and to reinstate the miles a phone call was required. I believe they...

Was the reason offered? Was it due to unavailability of hot beverages on the sector (usually due to expected turbulence), or was it that a flat white was not available but you could have had an instant coffee?

I cannot answer your question but like to point out points plus pay is not reward booking; you have booked a revenue seat and paid using a combination of cash and points.

Indeed

I am living that nightmare right now. I had miles expiring Jun/Jul 2022. Booked a ticket for my parents before the expiry for flights in Apr 2023. They decided to change their plans and therefore I had to cancel the booking in Feb 2023. Just noticed miles were deposited back into the account...

Yes it is possible. Availability of rewards seats on DOH-ADL flight is far better than DOH-MEL flight.

Same here: have been Plat for can't-even-remember-how-many years. I have only earned about 450 SCs this year as I mainly flew rewards using (some of the) points I have accumulated over the past couple of years. I have over 600 SCs worth of flights coming up in March though. One lesson from...

Hi Melbournians! I would love to join in if there is room for a recent returnee.

But isn't this the case for many other airports including DXB (going through a central security screening) and SIN (screening at departure gate)?

Which in my case means AmEx. They "see" the problem, but do not (cannot?/would not?) do anything to fix it :-(

Thanks Blackcat. I did but I was told it was the AmEx that needed to update as it is their entry in the file :-| This has been going on for at least 3 years (since I was first made aware of it when I applied for a loan). I have tried but I have gone nowhere. No one wants to take ownership and...

Speaking go DJ AmEx, I found out recently that the card I had years ago (and closed years ago) still shows on my credit file. The available balance has been changed to zero with the date around the time I closed it, but it still shows as an open credit in my file. Many MANY calls to AmEX has...

Thanks for the detailed response. Yes, I'm familiar hidden city bookings and the possible complications. This is a reward ticket booked with another airline's points, and as a matter of curtesy I was definitely going to let QR know I was disembarking at MEL I booked this itinerary to minimise...

Yes I gathered, but I was under the impression that, similar to the US, international passengers arriving in Australia need to clear custom at the point of entry. I think SQ SIN-xSYD-CBR was the only exception I knew. Oh well... I am not desperately looking for an alternative, and if all fails...

Not having planned to do this, but I can organise to have HLO if I can get off the flight in MEL.

Sorry for a repeat question, and I think I am not going to like the answer, but if someone wants to get out at MEL, are they prevented from doing so? Is there anyone on this forum who has actual tried it? Just last week I found rewards availability in J and booked this flight for mid-Feb, with...

I cannot answer your specific question, but can’t you just change the date (and pay any difference/penalty)?

If you book with SQ, you get the option of paying about $100 to add a stop over in Singapore. This may or may not be worth it to you (versus booking 2 separate tickets with more points).

May I ask why you want/prefer to book MEL-SIN and SIN-LHR separately? Unless you have a specific reason, one multi-leg ticket would usually need less points than multiple separate tickets.
