I usually fly enough to maintain status over 3 programmes and that allows me to choose which flights suit me since I normally buy J outright on long-haul flights. If it's a tie, then status does help to swing the decision.

I emailed VN about their stopover/transit programme and they finally got back to me. They confirmed that it was something they'd offered for transits over 6 hours but was suspended when COVID hit at the start of 2020. It is still suspended and there is no indication of when this service will...

I think Finnair have dropped the mask mandate.

Does anyone know if VN are providing complimentary hotel stays for transits over 7 hours? I've been trying to find out and it seems they were offering this right up until the pandemic but have not been able to find any evidence of it since then. They have apparently arranged the visas (if you...

I wonder if the A330neos will be configured similarly to the A350s with the Business Suites or will they go with a brand new business layout, which will hopefully be in a 1-2-1 configuration.

Booked with them in J to CDG for March next year (to try and maintain my ST status). Will be my first time flying with them. Snagged a fare for about 4.7k (it's about 5k now but still cheaper than everyone else out there). It's only 1 stop via SGN each way. There's a 6.5hr transit on the way...

I still can't log in... 🙄

JQ cancelled one of my flights and it's about 8 weeks since then but still no refund. Any experiences as to how long refunds are taking these days?

I just noticed that the $50 voucher has to be used on a return flight and not even one way! Seriously?! Anyway, I can't even get into my account now. Was previously logged in but got kicked out and can't get back on... 🙄

My membership year ends in the 2nd half of this year and I've already got my status extension through to next year (from the one where you had to make a booking), so this extension is of little value to me. The only thing I'm getting out of this "apology" is a $50 credit and 30000 points. Not...

I like the look of the new interior. My only crticism is that foldable headrests would have been good to have, especially when these planes do flights up to 5 hours.

Looks like they've gone with the A330-900 or A330neo. They've ordered 20 frames (with options for up to 20 more) to replace the 15 A330-300s and 6 A330-200s. Delivery of the new planes to start from 2024/2025 I think. I guess the A330neo is much cheaper than the A350 and the wait times for them...

Discovered this closure of the VA lounge in Perth last month when I flew the red-eye to Sydney. Not happy.

I've also always found 1GJ and 3GJ blocked out. 3GJ is definitely blocked out for crew rest seats. It makes sense that 1GJ is blocked for bassinet needs.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The best way to keep people tied to QF after reaching LTG is to make it so that LTG automatically means that you have 600SCs each year and you just have to earn another 600SCs to maintain platinum but the caveat will be that all 600 of those SCs have to...

I'm confused. Why are there start dates 2 months after the status match is approved? Is it a date set by UA or can you nominate this? And I'm guessing the 120 days to requalify starts from that start date?

Yeah, they're re-routing me through MEL a day later! Not happy.

Does anyone know what's happening to JQ's flights from SYD to HKT? Looks like they have cancelled a fair bulk of their flights and appear to be running only 1 or 2 weekly direct flights. All the Saturday flights except for 1 in August have been cancelled. I've been affected by this change, which...

Sadly, no one is going to be buting those A380s. The 6 A350s were used to replace them!

https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/transport/malaysia-airlines-nearing-decision-on-replacing-21-a330s-ceo Good to see that MH are starting their long-haul fleet renewal plans. They're looking to replace the 15 A330-300s and 6 A330-200s on a 1 for 1 basis. They are considering the A350, A330neo...
