    The Master SQ Guide (Krisflyer, Waitlists & Waitlists Clearing)

    Well mine are Advantage awards and the last sector has ready availability. It's the part getting from Oz-Sin that is the problem. Luckily I already have a confirmed booking, just 3 days later on a Tuesday, so I waste the weekend when I already could be in Japan. I've waitlisted some SYD and...

    Favourite entrée on Book the Cook and other pre-ordered meals?

    On a somewhat light note, what is your favourite entrée (errr...... main dish) that you have ordered on Singapore Airlines Book the Cook - out of Singapore? Out of Oz? In J? In PE? Are you aware of any other airline that has a similar service? Are special meals (eg "low-fat" or "seafood")...

    Any interest in a melbourne dinner?

    I'll be good for most of the next three months, before my next big trips. Looking forward to another delectable entree!

    The Master SQ Guide (Krisflyer, Waitlists & Waitlists Clearing)

    I've booked a Redemption flight for a MEL-SIN-NRT-LAX on Tuesday 19/9 (J) with a stopover in NRT (until 3/10), however this is far from ideal and I want to make use of the weekend. So today I waitlisted a booking for the night flight on Friday 15/9 with a slightly earlier sector to LAX (1/10)...

    Anyone flown transcontiental USA in premium economy/lieflat business?

    The more I think about this, the more I'm thinking about just booking a daytime one-way business class flight from LAX to ORD. (Or even Y, status means I won't have to pay for bags.) The thought of back-to-back redeyes in my crusty middle age is slowly doing me in.

    Your longest trip point-to-point?

    I did SYD-KUL-CMB-DOH-BOS in 2016. Maximum was 10 hours in the business lounge at Doha. The J fare from CMB-BOS return was a mere $A2550 and was on a quadruple points promotion, used the points for a one-way QF PE redemption HKG-MEL!

    Anyone flown transcontiental USA in premium economy/lieflat business?

    I don't feel like wasting a day of my schedule. If I was retired I would stay a night in LA.

    Anyone flown transcontiental USA in premium economy/lieflat business?

    Was this a redeye or a daytime flight? Was catering okay?

    Anyone flown transcontiental USA in premium economy/lieflat business?

    I flew in JetBlue Mint Private Suites (during the day) from SFO-JFK for less than $600 AUD back in 2015......

    Anyone flown transcontiental USA in premium economy/lieflat business?

    No way one can use miles - no availability except in Y. I feel too stingy to even pay for a day use room at those rates. Value is so bad in the USA

    Anyone flown transcontiental USA in premium economy/lieflat business?

    I've never done a double red-eye up to this point - although my NRT-LAX sector is in J. Maybe I should indeed fly to ORD, arriving close to midnight and spend the next 3 days in Chicago as I have some flexibility in my trip. Not ideal but perhaps necessary.

    Anyone flown transcontiental USA in premium economy/lieflat business?

    Heading to the USA in early October from Japan - landing at LAX at about lunchtime and hoping to get on a flight to the East Coast that night. Has anyone done the redeye across the States in either United's Premium Plus (premium economy) (~$600) or in lieflat bed ($1200)? I will have to pay for...

    Pre-departure RAT test for China?

    Just wondering has anyone here plan to fly to China in the near future? I am weighing up a trip to see my family. Starting on 29 April they have got rid of PCR tests but you still need to do a RAT test in the two days before departure. Does anyone know can they be self-administered or do they...

    Article: Strategies for Cheap Business Class Flights to Europe

    The best airfare I've ever had flying to Europe was MEL-FRA-MEL with China airlines for $1750 return in 2018 in PE. The food was standard Y fare but the hard product was very very good. It also gave me enough FF points for a one-way flight between any two cities in Asia, although I never got to...

    1681809536 Sure but I find that most long haul Jetstar flights are not bookable on thr Qantas website except with points. Can you call up Qantas and do a phone booking?

    Qantas Y from HND-MEL

    That's pretty good. Two full meals, and Japanese options on both, even in economy. I know in the past you only got like a few slices of fruit and a small muffin for breakfast.
