I don't think you can without having to do a bunch of strange things and Japan really doesn't like it when you go off script. Perhaps just catch the rapid express from Kyoto to Shin Osaka, hop out then get your Shinkansen ticket and get onboard your Shinkansen? The rapid express should be free...

Anyone have the SIN summer menu yet?

Interesting, future expansion plans? I can't see them stopping F anytime soon at SIN even after SYD-LHR direct starts.

Unfortunately I wont be able to go this trip. Work for the long weekend plus JP trip 2 weeks means i really can't go to this.

I find when I'm travelling I smash my battery a lot harder than back home for one (probably because I'm using Maps a tonne. Also in other situations like on planes, you need the Amps a good battery can give (at least until I can be sure all airlines can reliably charge). This goes up...

So firstly there's eligibility. The March 2024 Double Status Credit has an eligibility date of Feb 14 2025 to take your flight. If your flight is before then, it will be fine. If not then unfortunately you are not eligible for the bonus. Next the actual crediting. If you are short a small...

Oh thanks i knee something didn't look quite right this time vs when i first looked into this trip. Had GCM on nautical miles instead of miles. (For nm it comes out to 31k 😂)

Hotel is fine, don't bother with their shuttle service from the airport. To the airport can be considered but from it's more than a bit ridiculous.

If its a quiet day what they could do is take the J meal and serve it with the partner in F since you can dine together in F. Not sure on how realistic that is, but no harm in asking from the F Pax.

Honestly, there are so many factors that go into this that the only answer is you have to ask the purser on the day and see what they say. If it's a full F cabin, there's less likelihood of it. If it's a quiet day they might allow a bit more.

Run around domestically a lot? You could in theory go from PER to SIN via MEL, BNE, DRW all in one leg for example.

Yes more or less the same seat. there are some subtle differences between the planes. In fact even the Aria suite look is roughly using a similar design as the existing Cathay J seat. It's just gotten a great looking facelift with modern tech, arguable colour pallette change and a door. The QF...

They can say that, but it'll end up being a whats the real % of time qsuite is available on the routes. At the end of the day, this is has always been one of the problems with QR in that you don't necessarily know which plane is at your gate.

The main issue is that I want to say they would like a slice of the China pie, but the amount of work they need to do to get to it might be tough. You'd need to have Chinese apps, marketing campaign, flight attendents etc. But the market is still huge and still growing. I suspect they'd rather...

I suspect it'll inevitably come but that doesnt necessarily mean a better or worse system. The devil is always in the details. Velocity's change is a very drastic value departure and much stricter requirements compared to their current one hence seen as a huge devaluation. But depending on how...

Just a sanity check before i go requesting/amending my current flights. KUL- SIN (MH) - HND (JL) Stop 1 HND - SYD (QF) Stop 2 SYD - BKK (QF) Stop 3 BKK - (SYD/HKG -QF/CX) - MEL (QF/CX) Stop 4 MEL - HKG (QF/CX) - LHR (CX) Stop 5 HEL - SIN (AY) END. Couple of flexible time / WP requests on QF...

I assume firstly when you say Chinese airlines, you don't include Cathay, China Airlines, EVA or Starlux (HK, TW based). Of the mainland based airlines, they'll have competent English speakers on board of varying fluency from passable to fluent. Hard product, comparable to QF in all aspects...

Please don't let your bias cloud things. The demand is there. The WESTERN demand is not there. There is a huge mainland Chinese descent population in Australia that are permanent (PR or citizen) who goes and visits family and friends and vice versa. That demand will increase even more with the...

Near future? No. This isn't just a Qantas thing. All western carriers have reduced or stopped their Chinese services. Eventually? Yes. There's quite a few reasons. 1) Western demand to and from China is probably at an all time low in the last 20 years. (Mainly corporate and business). 2)...

CX 777 regional is fine imho. Quite roomy and comfortable. Their a321N which has a newer product is more technologically advanced but not as roomy.
