    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    Apparently some security have thought the new QF things were mini pizza cutter and caused some issues at some ports.

    Status Credit Earn Before and After Membership Review Date

    With an August Anniversary. Any time you earn Gold until August 2025 will mean you have it from when you get it until August 2026. Any SC you earn past August 2025 will be for the calendar year 2025-2026 and yes it will go to retaining the Gold. So in this case you would have Sep and Oct as...

    Does anyone know with a OWA if you depart LHR do you still get whacked with quite a lot of surchages?

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    QF a380 holds 170+ premium pax between F, J and PE. Then you have all the status passengers in Y. In many ports the gate area isn't huge so you get huge amounts of confusion as to whos boarding all in the "priority" area and all in massive lines.

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    Oh this applies to award tickets sometimes as well (depending on the airline). I just booked KUL -SIN - HND and the same SIN - HND award flight did not exist on its own but shows up when you start at KUL. I remember see similar for DRW - SIN - KIX but SIN - KIX didn't have availability.

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    Its often the case that indirect is cheaper. I don't think it'll be of use to you as you won't go to Japan anymore, but there were definitely sub 2k one way J tickets on SQ from Japan to Aus. I find it amusing that CX is often cheaper for Aus - HKG - SIN by a solid amount than SQ, but SQ is...

    JAL 777-300ER back on Sydney route

    Not on HND-SIN though. That's a bit sad since that seems like a nice day time flight that has huge F availablity.

    Transit through Changi - Tips, Tricks and Advice

    Ok I have a very strange potential situation. I currently have a KUL - SIN - HND leg (MH/JL) that is on one PNR that is the start of a OWA. I'm considering transiting through SIN on my positioning flight to KUL. Would I be able to check my bags in to leg 2 (SIN - HND) when I'm at SIN...

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    Well officially on my way to booking another OWA. Did not expect HND - SYD to be released on a super busy period, but hey they released it and I have a first leg to pair it with out of KUL. Time to build the rest of it for Oct 2025 and sprinkle in some domestic QF status run legs for SC(as it's...

    Emirates Cancels Singapore to Melbourne Flights from 30/3/25

    I wonder how feasible it is to book a return flight doing MEL - SIN on EK departing soon and having a return as far back as possible to in the hopes of creating a one way ticket by having it cancelled later.

    Qantas adds Brisbane-Manila but suspends Sydney-Shanghai flights

    Depending on the route and which class you fly that might not be the worst thing. If you fly J for example, you have the same seat and IFE + wifi over Australia.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    QF26 Jan 7 HND - SYD I2 > U2 success QF60 Jan 8 HND - SYD I3 > U2 success. I took QF26. If anyone else is interested jan 8 should be bookable. I suspect others as re either requesting or booking as well. There were 2 other flights last night that had I seats around those dates and they're...

    Article: Oneworld, SkyTeam & Star Alliance Status Benefits

    I don't see a world where they would do it. Unless I'm missing someone, the only airline to offer F class is NH, SQ and LH. Those 3 probably have no reason to want other *A members access to their top tier lounges besides their own super elites and F pax. And honestly whilst I like using my...

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

    There's no way for that to earn 110SC even if it got it wrong something with its multi city calculation is definitely throwing it off. SYD - SIN in sale is 30. HKG - SYD in sale is 30. SIN - HKG is 40 in flex economy. Sale should almost never earn but if it does it'll be 20 i believe. That...
