Re: Flying Kangaroo leaps into a shakey alliance German Approach? As German that makes me laughing. LH is offering a below average product in all classes with very high prices. Their USP is to have direct flights from the German market. Most competitors offer better products and fares. The...

I usually use the Checkin Desk even with my family (2 kids + wife). Firstly I would look if the "Plebs" queue is significantly longer. If not I would take it and ask if I could use - even as WP/SG. I would have no problem to take 3 mates with me to premium checkin. The cutoff would be around 4...

Same experience here. It is quite a hit and miss and nothing "premium". I had agents who insisted: - That a JASA would not earn miles and SCs - That a Points+Pay booking would not earn any miles and SCs - That they cannot change a seat assignment, I should retry it when checking in online. -...

Two things do not match up: QF is cancelling routes (LHR-SIN in my case) so it is harder for me to fly with QF codes. The QFF still keeps me loyal with QF, but they are reducing the options for me. If possible, QF is still my first priority. I still am loyal to the Oneworld alliance. This year...

Since a few months my flights do not disappear when the last segment flown (mainly AB and BA flights, QF flights still disappear when the last sector is flown). The flight segment changes form the airports of the next segment to "booking".

My goals: - LTG (69% done, should be done in a few years). - Keeping Platinum until I reach LTG, then review status strategy (a LTP would be really an incentive to stay with QF). - Get enough points for some JASA redemptions. - Maybe retain PG to make Mrs. Tyrolean happy (do not see that at the...

Definitly no oneworld rule. You can earn Statusmiles in the AB Topbonus Program when you fly Etihad.

Rail&Fly is possible, but not needed in such extend, since EK flies to many more cities in Germany. Doing MUC-MEL with one stop and earining SCs may sound good. On the other hand I need other options for my MUC-SIN travel (which I did via LHR to fly with the QF 380). I desperatly needed that for...

You talk about the new BA Galleries lounge or the old Delta Crown Room rat hole which is closed now for good? I really like the BA lounge. It is quite convenient after security control. You just have to take the stairs or elevator one floor up. The lounge is new, has daylight, a whole range of...

Yes and no. It is not a general Oneworld perk, but AA offers it to ALL Oneworld Ruby Members. Just have a look at their website.

Yes. Club World = Longhaul = Access. If you arrive form SIN you have access with a QF Flight, too. If you arrive on any other oneworld flight you have no access.

If you after Status in Staralliance, you may think about Aegean Airlines. If you chose the right booking classes, you may be Star Gold with one trip to Asia! You may think about the Airberlin Program. You will earn Statusmiles on every Oneworld flight plus on Etihad. Maybe that will be a...

No way to use a lounge together in T3: You will arrive in T5. You will have the option to clear Immigration and go landside or take the airside Transfer to T3. Your family can take the direct way to flight connection in T5 - you cannot as you need a T5 BP to enter the Terminal. The BA Arrivals...

BA now operates a few flights out of T1 on its own (BMI) metal. Make sure to book on those flights - you then should get lounge access in DUB and Priority Stickers on your luggage. You can get EI flights with a BA code. For those flights you will get SCs and points, but no lounge access in DUB...

Beeing bassed in Europe I still stick to QF because: - If flying a lot in C you get Platinum quickly - 10 SCs on cheap Economy Flights - Executive Bonus on BA - Lifetime Status - Anyseat Award on QF - Points+Pay - Lots of earining opportunities in Oz, The requirement of 4 QF flights is a bit...

QF and LH have some interesting fares. Interlining works perfectly. QF sells LH feeders to the FRA flight. LH sells QF segments on the way to Australia. You can earn your points each program (A* Programs for LH, and 1W Programs for QF). You can check through the luggage without a problem...

LX uses its own reservation system. No seat reservations can be done online. You cannot access a swisss booking via checkmytrip or viewtrip. You have to call them. It is possible to get an Amadeus Filekey. Then you can access the booking via lufthansa.com and change seats. But be aware that...

I have done it only once in AKL. The Immigration officer asked why I was staying only a few hours in AKL. I answered honestly that I needed the flights to keep my shiny card. He just said that he wanted to be sure that I am not a drug dealer. I found the immigration quite a hassle. The next year...

Free nappies for Gold and Platinum Frequent Flyers?

Be aware: The new JustFly fare books into Z class which earns no miles/TPs on QFF!
