TXL-LHR-DXB-LHR-DXB should work, for example, but the prices are sometimes quite expensive. Taking some Jetstar flights form SIN are maybe a bit easier.

BA is quite strict with the "one guest" rule. Quite sad. But on the other hand BA offers quite cheap Business Class fares and upgrades for nonflex tickets. That saves quite a hassle for the family and yields quite a few SCs. On BA shorthaul I never got a personal greeting as WP. Good to see...

I just would play around with a few QF/EK Destinations. Sometimes the price differences are quite steep. Just look at the airports with a good connection to VCE. AMS with KL as feeder. MUC/FRA with LH as feeder. BCN with Vueling as feeder. DUS with AB as feeder. BRU with SN as feeder IST with...

Scheduled departure day is the only thing that counts.

Some percentage goes to the administration. So the greenies can fly to the next climate summit. Just a few bucks to give you a good feeling, but it reminds very strongly at the catholic sale of indulgance. For me: I just do what i can do. I did put a solar heating on my house, have a very good...

Travel patterns can change very fast. For me a few additional trips to Australia and Asia did the trick quite fast.

AB is quite generous with status matching. I did a match last December. I gave them my QF-Plat and my LH-Gold card. They accepted the LH card. They offer a Credit card in Germany (you need a German Bank account), that gives a Status Mile per every Euro spend (Supermarket + Shell Filling...

Every cutting is bad, but not as bad as LH did to their own frequent flyers. BA did not touch the earnings in C and F, as well as the partner Status Credits (especially in Premium classes). Only deep discount eco and Silvers (Sapphires) suffer. But they really improved the award availability...

AB gives a Status mile per Euro spend on their German and Austrian Credit Cards. Double miles for super market and Shell stations. 50k for AB Gold (Sapphire) and 100k for AB Platinum (Emerald). Before QF made their program simpler and fairer, I just credited all AB flights to QF, yielding at...

Congrats, so I made it a few weeks before! I got it as a christmas present. After one day it showed LTG on the status page. I received a plain letter after two weeks. For me I am just about rethinking my FFP Strategy. This year I will re qualify for WP. I matched my LH *G card to AB. They...

Or a book. The batteries last forever!

Option 2 became very unattractive. In former times those cash upgrades booked into I or R Class. Now they book into "U" Class, which is the award class. The availability was reduced dramatically with that and there are big fears that you only get the Discount Y SCs! I only had one flight in...

There are some destinations that are over 750 Miles and they yield 60SCs in J: LIS or MAD come to my mind. LHR-MAD-LHR yields 120 SCs in J (you need to put a sunday night into the flight to get the cheap fares). LHR-LIS-LHR yield 30 SCs in Discount Y. Or: LHR-MAD (BA) + MAD-MUC-MAD (IB) +...

Not true any more. There are Fly Classic fares that book into Z and you end up with nil SCs. Not to blame QF, AB did mess up the booking classes.

The quite simple and fair answer: Flights under 250 Miles get 5 SC in Eco (except Y 10 SC). Flights over 250 Miles get 10 SC in Eco (20 in Y). I am lucky as my routes are a little over 250 miles - so no changes at all. Until a few months all fares got SCs except the hand luggage only fare...

QF Lounge in SIN opens at 14:30 and closes at 23:00. Otherwise you are out of luck. I love the swimming pool in the trainsit hotel in T1.

The 24 hours rule is quite nice for fares: Usually a stopover costs more than a transfer. I love those rules on business trips, where I build complex itineraries in one booking.

Same here..

Really? I thought that you have to use the lounge of the operating carrier: So QF Lounge with a QF flight. The Plaza Premium Lounge is contracted to AA - so you need an AA Flight to use it. So you probably will refused to enter it with a QF boarding pass. If you have a QF flight, the QF-Club...
