Yes. Domestic flight with AA.

Hi Folks, as QF Plat I will have my first AA domestic flight with Mrs. Tyrolean and our two kids (9 and 12). We will fly AA First Class, but that does not give us lounge access. Do I get access to the lounge in MIA with the kids? Oneworld says one guest only. Does it make sense to buy a day...

LHR-HAM has no QF code. Berlin is the last QF code on BA to Germany. So LHR-TXL would work. The SCs are the same but you get more points, a ~ and the SC count for the loyalty bonus.

After reaching LTG I still stayed with QF and managet to get WP every year. For me it can be sometimes a challenge to get the 4~ as QF made it a bit more complicated for me living in Europe. The LHR-SIN flight is quite a good move and may improve the chances. My main status is SEN LH (*G)...

Still think about Lufthansa's not published Lifetime Status. You need to be over 60 to get it. People at that age usually reduce the number of flights, but still have money to travel. So they are an interesting target group. Maybe an idea for a lifetime Platinum. (28k SC and over 60).

LH to QF, EK or even Jetstar still works even with 2 separate bookings. QF to LH only works in a single PNR.

Re: Air Berlin in restructuring talks It looks quite bad for Topbonus, no more accural or spending is possible at the moment. Since Etihad owns 70% of the program a conversion to Etihad seems one option. We have to wait and see. Other reports say that you still get points/miles in other...

AB filed Bankrupcy - uncertain future Hi Folks, Air Berlin filed for bankruptcy on 15th of August. They are still flying because of a government loan but have a very uncertain future. It seems that the airline will be split up very soon. Lufthansa seems to be interested in most of the...

I had a revenue booking with a crashing browser. A booking was made, but no ticket issued. Did you log into your account and had a look into the "my bookings" section. If you did put your FF number into the booking it should apperar there. The call centre could either cancel the booking or issue...

Strawberry picking ist quite common. My daughters have been invited to children's birthday in the strawberry fields. I grow my own in my back garden... Tegernheim is left side of the river (rive gauche). Better places are on the right side - same as Paris :-). The stone bridge has to be...

Since Germany is my home country and I have to travel around on a weekly basis I may offer a few hints: It depends on the routes: - There are some very good high-speed lines which offer a very good service - there the train is much easier than a plane. These are for example...

I would go with AY. I would never do a stop in the middle of the night in the desert, when you do not need it. Better sleep on a 10 hours flight than to wake up after 8 hours and get onto an other plane. The Hardware on AY is quite good. The food was OK, drinks OK. You may check the Sauna...

I would book Aisle and Window. If the middle seat is occupied you can easily trade it to a window seat. The probability is much lower that anyone wants to sit there. As others said: Most source for discomfort is the pressure. We timed our kids to give them a bottle when the plane is starting...

We had the Quinny Zapp. Folds to hand luggage size. Made traveling quite easy. Some of the checkin staff did not believe that it folds to small dimensions. Be aware that not all models are available in Australia. We had the simple Zapp. Zapp Xtra2 If they are a bit bigger The Trunki is the...

UK Domestic Flights were just a disgrace. Even with an F-Ticket you sat in an Eco-Only cabin (with the risk of sitting next to Jabba the Hutt). So it is a real improvement. Most Euro-C Product are those "middle seat free + moving curtain". On the other hand most flights of the Euro-C are much...

SC on Partner Airline flights to North America enhanced form 1st of May Just received an Email: From 1st of May QF halves the SCs on partner (AA...) Flights to North America. https://www.qantas.com/fflyer/dyn/flying/airline-earning#partner-airline-earning-table Just simpler and fairer!

KE or KL? I do not know if it ist worth to make a fuss about very few miles you may get on the very low fare buckets. Earnings on those flights are ridculously low. Transferring Avios may be a way to get some points. For KL you may have to think if you will start a new Sky-Team program (with...

QF, AB, BA, AY, IB, S7, UL Mexicana and MALEV before they went bankrupt.

Some programs (especially oneworld) require minimum segments on the own metal. So it may be difficult to fly on those airlines. The big question is: Do you prefer status or award flights. Be aware that earning and spending is different on each program. The best program depends on, your flying...
