    Jal reward seats

    It's also completely possible that JL hasn't loaded that route in. A lot of the extra space tends to come from the 777 that is also flying the route and JL may have decided on canning the 777 from the route as they retire them.

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Messed up coms at SYD though. Didn't explain exactly where to line up. Eventually a second staff came around to shepherd all the QF26 people to a separate line. Also i wondered why QF gave us $120 cab voucher one way. My god $102.40 from SYD to darling Harbour.

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Looks like we're going to be pushing back now. Seems like a tight race to make it back by curfew but I guess barely enough time.

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Just pulled up to a parking bay. It was quite amusing that the captain halfway through taxiing (it was a long taxi as we had to wait for a slot) came on the PA and authorised everyone to go to the loo (himself included). Here's what our current app suggests.

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    I assume our flight has as well. There's a QF26 CBR-SYD scheduled right now for 22:00-22:30

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Im on this right now. The pilots optimistic we'll get back to SYD soon. I'm not as much.

    QF Award booking on EK downgrade F to J - Advice please

    No, but at the same time you need to know. Rather than end up later not realising and not being able to use it properly. A lot of these tickets from many other airlines often have this clause attached somewhere.

    QF Award booking on EK downgrade F to J - Advice please

    Just make sure it doesn't need to book into a specific booking class (aka award booking class).

    Bid for upgrade - how common is it?

    Personally, rather than looking at bid to upgrade as a cheap way to get business class flights, instead look at ways to utilise points programs as ways to doing it. Requirements and knowledge are higher, but payoff is also higher and more guaranteed.

    Bid for upgrade - how common is it?

    Most airlines have some sort of upgrade feature subject to availability. Qantas for example uses the points as priority then bids. Other airlines can take cash upgrades at the counter on the day as well. Ideally, you'd book the business class up front either cash or points as that guarantees...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Definitely not the case as I got a I2 Jan flight from HND-SYD on 2 different days released. Definitely peak as well since economy fares on Qf costed $1600+ (one way). The droid does dark magic voodoo sometimes.

    Tokyo Haneda slot - 2025

    Watching QF25 boarding right now. Its about 1/3 JP and 2/3 Aussies. I imagine part of it is that QF is also on OW which for the JL crowd, if the one JL departure doesn't suit them, they take QF. Perhaps the day time QF59 flight and evening Q26 has more aussies and less JP due to it...

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    That would likely be the case, it's not like they want to rip it apart, but for the purposes of getting QR onboard they're being asked to do so.

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    Not necessarily, if Bain can see this as a grest deal to offload and then attract other investors for the remainder of the company, they wouldn't need to care what happens to VA in the future 3-5 years down the track when they're done. Bain's interest are not the same as the longer outlook for...
