    Case Study: How Matt books flights to Europe

    I feel like they've slowly been trying to grow their tourism and presence over the last decade. Definitely on my to visit list (but so is many other places).

    Qantas Interline Baggage with Eva Air or China Air

    Ok I just had a quick look. You don't get extra baggage for China Airlines for QF Gold. Given that , I definitely would not expect it for Eva Air (who aren't even a partner). If you need the luggage perhaps look at Cathay.

    Case Study: How Matt books flights to Europe

    I've managed to convince my partner to do roundabout flights though. She likes the F lounges now (and I got her to gold so we took her parents into gold lounges too last trip). "An extra stop for SC? sure"

    2025 travel plans

    I missed it in 22-23 season. They decided not to run it that year =( But being in Tohoku during heavy snow season I'll just say it's both really cool to see but also a bit of a walking hazard. My partner on the first day in Aomori decided shes going to walk in the footsteps of a local. Then...

    Case Study: How Matt books flights to Europe

    I do believe a lot of the options do require people to be willing to stop more at middle eastern, west asia countries or think outside the box. Most people however dont necessarily consider those places for travel and they just want to go from A - B asap which does limit the options...

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    IF you dont mind non QF, Look at HEL departures on AY to HKG,KIX,HND,SIN,BKK Etc and then connecting from there. You can also from JL flights from LHR to HND or FRA - HND. CX would also have a bunch of flights from places like LHR -HKG. Alternatively going through US is an option too.

    Accor Plus / Platinum, seeking advice

    Yes Basically when you sign up (you will need to use WeChat however) you get either +20 nights or +30nights. Right now I dont think that promo is active because they've got an active campaign to just straight give you platinum with 3 nights. This has been discussed a bit on the various Accor...

    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    See Above - ALL Plus China breaks that.

    Accor Plus / Platinum, seeking advice

    You can most certainly stack ALL Plus China with Accor Plus and that gives you bonus nights. Althoguh I think they're running a stay 3 nights and get Platinum campaign instead right now (need to stay in mainland china). Normally its +20/+30 nights. Yes that means you could get +50 nights and...

    Qantas Interline Baggage with Eva Air or China Air

    Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I'd assume theres more of an agreement with China Air than EVA given one is a partner and one is not. Alternatively you could look at CX and that would definitely be under OW policy?

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    I was looking around Oct, did you check AY to ports like HKG/SIN/BKK/KIX/TYO then going from there to PER? might end up being two hop.

    Autumn colours in Japan + coughtails by the pool in Fiji

    For arriving in JP, there's an online website you can fill out. This basically replaces the paper arrival card with a QR code. You can still use the paper arrival card if you forgot. https://www.vjw.digital.go.jp/main/#/vjwplo001 If you have your old SUICA or passmo (or other transport card)...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    I dont believe so. For upgrades I believe you need to be ticketed on a QF ticket stock and any other FF program would not be using QF 081 tickets.

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    Pre-boarding young kids is fairly common all over the place. The main reason being the parents generally need longer to get everything and settle - thus holding up the boarding line. In the manner of getting everyone onboard the plane the fastest, it makes perfect sense. We're talking toddlers...

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    Thry could bump down PE PAX to group 3 perhaps for intl 4 class configurations. So you have F+WP1+CL, J+WP, SG+PE, and hiwever they want with Y.

    Platinum shadow seat

    Row 4 often has people when 5/6 doesn't. The seasoned road warriors with status knows that if your choice because you moved last minute is only middle then row 4 is better on average.
