I would have thought the answer would be depends. The oneworld rules are the flight must be both marketed and operated by oneworld airlines. Therefore a QF ticket on a EK marketed flight would not get you access to a BA lounge. However a QF ticket on a QF flight would be ok.

In the announcement it said "Reciprocal lounge access is not permitted for the Americas, New Zealand or South Africa." Granted it is open to interpertation but I interpreted it as "Reciprocal lounge access is not permitted for [flights to or from] the Americas, New Zealand or South Africa."...

Currently there are three EK daily departures from BNE, at 2:35am (iirc this will move to be a bit earlier) , 8:25am and 8:45pm. I assume the Emirate lounge will only be open 3 hours before EK departures. Given the the current schedules there is only 1 QF flight (QF8 to Sydney) from BNE that...

About a week ago I got a phone call from Platinum one desk. Asking if I wanted to go to the Keith Urban concert in Brisbane with a private meet and greet session. I initially said yes, but then realised I don't actually like Keith Urban or country music, so would not have enjoyed it. The funny...

I'm not so sure of that, a colleague of mine got a soft landing from platinum to gold at the beginning of this month and he didn't have 4 QF or JQ flights. Ultimately it is not a stated policy so they could even treat things differently on a case by case basis.

That seems so strange. Even putting MH aside. You can now fly to KUL on QF codeshare on Emirates, also could go on Jetstar via Singapore. Surely they would let you book either of these online, but it seems not.

Unless something has changed recently they still have a location at the airport. Car hire from Melbourne Airport with Europcar- for all your rental needs There is also a Europcar on the road to the airport this is the Tullamarine location Car rental Tullamarine (off airport) & Car hire...

The apart from the engine failure and recovery, the part I find interesting that the flight was the LHR-AKL with 5 stops along the way. You don't get flights like that any more.

Interesting they seem to have made their platinum level much easier to get it, at least last year it use to be 450,000 Platinum miles or 375 Platinum sectors in a three year period (platinum miles or sectors were business or first class only). Now it is 100,000 Elite Miles or 130 sectors in a...

The current MAS CEO/MD Ahmad Jauhari Yahya (the guy in the video) is also known as AJ.

They did put some clips on youtube about joining Oneworld. I started watching the first but got bored half way through, so stopped. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNy5zam1rf6-pE19sGt7r1LbaP6NXAd4L

I think in your situation the best option is to go for a trip to Auckland on LAN. For $764 you'll get 160 SC. To offset the cost of the trip you can also get duty free or claim GST back. If you don't live in Sydney then you could easily earn the extra 20 SC with positioning flights for the...

Re: JQ pax stranded on tarmac at HNL for 4 hours in 'dangerous' conditions I thought the US had a three hour limit for delays on tarmac. If passengers are held for longer the airline gets pretty heavy fines. edit: Looks like the legal limit is four hours...

I have stayed at Swissotel Stamford a few times I have been pretty happy with it. Although it is starting to show its age. I would happily stay there again. It sharing the same building with Fairmont confused me at first. There is another Swissotel in Singapore - Swissotel Merchant Court. It is...

My current understanding for Trans-tasman Qantas flights Online (no checked luggage) - 24 hours before flight. Although you will need to get someone to sight your passport before you board International Q Card Reader at Airport - 4 hours before flight (3 hours if doing bag drop) Check in desk...

It is cheap, close and nice beaches.

I don't think it will happen. There seem to be a lot of oddball laws put up by some of the smaller parties and they never turn into anything. The impact to tourism would be too big. Also I don't think the Indonesian government will let go of all that excise tax.

Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for accommodation near Gold Coast Airport. I have to pick a friend up from an early fllight, so thought I might as well stay the night before. Wotif lists about 10 places close by (with in 2km of the airport). Or would I be better off staying a bit...

The passport office has the following advice on their website From that I would take it being certified or not would not really matter.

Of course if shoes have metal in them like stiletto heels or steel capped boots then the usually need to be taken off even when there isn't a general shoe rule. You sometimes see Americans who are so use to taking off shoes at airports that they still do it when overseas. I remember just after...
