I think it works like this - if its a two class flight (F and Y) and you're booked onto AA then you'll sit in F and get F SCs and points. If it's 3 class (F, J and Y) then you'll sit in J and get J SCs and points. The one to watch is a two class flight where you book onto (for example) the QF...

Yeah - and I'm an avid user of hotel laundry facilities as a result of my hand luggage only travels. The problem is that, as happened to me a couple of weeks ago in the middle of China, when you arrive after midnight and need to be at a meeting early next morning getting the pressing service can...

Just to bring this thread down to the mundane. An iron and ironing board are indispensible to me. I've had a bad run in the last few weeks with turning up late at night and needing to iron a shirt for the next morning. Sad I know with all this talk of upgrades and executive lounges ;)

I always aim for 13 on the A380 (and flit between window and centre aisle depending on my mood when I'm selecting seats). I've never noticed more noise there than in other rows.

Hi, I'm interested in this as well. Since the tie up I've only done one RTW ticket and that was setting off eastwards from Perth (essentially I went Perth - Sydney - South America - London - Singapore - Perth and so was unaffected by the Emirates tie up. I'm now looking at another RTW trip but...

I think it's a great use of their time. I've had it happen to me a couple of times where I've made a late booking and someone from the SST has phoned up to advise that a better seat has come free - I really appreciate it.

Ok - thanks

Hi, I'm just about to book a flight with Delta - one thing I couldn't quite work out, do you pay the checked in luggage fees up front when you buy the ticket or at the airport when you check in?

Yes - all on the same PNR. The sequence you describe above explains it (I'm on EK, EK, QF, EK and it's the first flight that's missing). Thanks

I've got four EK flights coming up over the next couple of weeks (all EK codes, three out of the four on EK metal, one on QF metal). They all (obviously) appear on the EK website but when I go into MMB on QF I can only see three out of four with the missing flight being the first one (on EK...

Over the last couple of weeks I've flown on QF, AA, AC and UA and the only time I got a shadow was on the UA flight. I found myself in an aisle seat on the very back row of Y and had a spare middle seat next to me (the only spare seat on the plane). I did, however, gallantly swap seats with the...

Hong Kong and Santiago are my only two, although I've only been landside in Dallas because of flight cancellations.

This is what I do - especially in the US, small plate of fruit for breakfast and then either lunch or dinner (but not both). Really this is just to counter the lack of exercise when I'm away

I can beat that - a couple of years ago I travelled to the US/Canada for two weeks. Decided not to put any shoes in my carry on but to wear my black business shoes and make do with them in the evening. Early morning flight Per to Syd (about 5:30 am from memory) so I decided to do the decent...

I was in there this morning as well (on the sydney flight) and, as usual, couldn't see what the fuss is about. All looked fine and well behaved.

Hi, I had a search for this but couldn't find a situation exactly the same as this. I've generally had good experience when asking for an ORC, however these have all been due to involuntary changes. I've got a flight coming up in a couple of weeks time, Mel - Per in J on QF. Currently I'm...

I hit WP after about 5 weeks this year (1st Aug to first week in Sept) and then PG by mid Oct. Haven't flown since and probably won't be on a plane until Feb next year. I expect to requalify for WP1 but wouldn't chase it unless I was only a hundred or so SC short. Special service team are...

My preference (in J) would be QF then BA then CX. I'm always quite happy with the way I'm treated by QF, although I think, as someone else posted, the main benefit of status seems to be before flying. I find the CSM greeting only happens to me in J (and sometimes the CSM is just going round the...

I'd keep quiet about this if I was you - if we're not careful we'll realise that the great unwashed with no status who fly once a year actually provide a big chunk of revenue and they'll end up sitting at the front with the CL's ;)

My faith in EF diminishes every time I fly - usually it shows a shadow right up until the moment I get on the plane and introduce myself to the person sitting next to me. In fact last week I had a shadow showing just before I checked in and when I got to my seat (11E on the A380 there were two...
