Thanks very much for your insight. It does seem like an odd and extreme measure on BA's behalf to require this - and for what purpose? There are so many reasons why someone might not have that card with them (fraud on card and replaced, someone else paid for upgrade etc.). Can I ask if you...

Made the payment today to upgrade, all went through fine but on the confirmation page there is a point under the Important Information section: "If the cardholder is travelling the credit/debit card used to pay for changes to the e-ticket MUST be brought to the airport in order to check-in for...

Am booking a flight to LRH myself and decided to book BA given I would like to try out the new Club Suites, it wasn't until I came to the seat selection page and found out for myself that BA charge for seat selection in Business class, $211 each way in fact. Perhaps I am sheltered but isn't it...

Had no idea about managing booking through Czech airlines. Out of interest I tried this today and their website is blocking me, I assume due to my location (French Polynesia).

Made the trip SYD to AKL this weekend onboard their A330. Check in at the airport had a very large queue which snaked out and around the counter as there were two flights checking in around the same time. There was a staff member checking passengers entering the Business and Premium Economy...

What items would you like to see them replace, and with what? The current menu, which has been in place for some time, is simple, reliable, tastes good and let’s not forget - it allows the airline to operate as a low cost carrier. If you’re after fine dining in the sky, perhaps you can...

Oh wow, are these passenger or crew seats?. That is shocking if they are passenger seats!! I would hope that they don't charge for selecting them. To be fair, short domestic trips, there isn't a need to recline your seat but if someone in row 31 were to recline into you it would make for a...

You know what, I have nothing to lose so I may as well try. Here's hoping though I am not hopeful - I did try similar with Velocity trying to book a similar itinerary in the opposite direction and they said it is not possible (Despite the flights being available to purchase on the same ticker...

Thanks very much for your detailed reply. This was what I thought might be the case, especially given the bookings would have been through 2 different rewards programs. Re Aeroplan: Yes, they often have good bonus points deals which makes it an attractive program. Unfortunately, it seems that...

Hi all, Seeking advice regarding a somewhat niche situation: Looking at a flight from Munich to Singapore (Flight 1), then Singapore to Sydney (Flight 2). Here is where it gets complicated: - Flight 1 will be a points redemption from Aeroplan (Air Canada) - Flight 2 will be a points redemption...

Couldn't agree more! This is what catches many not 'in the know' out. Airlines put pictures of their best business class seats online, the public book expecting that seat and the reality is different leading to a negative customer experience. The inconsistency in hard product is leading us to...

I take the hike across to Europe a few times a year usually flying Singapore, sometimes Emirates. I don't fly frequently enough to maintain a worthwhile status with any major airline. Having seen reviews and heard experiences within my network, the Qsuites are something I would really like to...

Are you sure? Don't forget that this is a relaunch of the Amex Velocity card. Surely, of all offers that they put out, the relaunch offer would be the best that they have.

Am surprised that this hasn't been mentioned yet (perhaps I have missed it), but 60,000 bonus points is a really, really poor offering. I am sure I am not the only one who is in the market for a new card, but this offer is certainly not appealing. With the changes coming to the Velocity program...

Here's hoping they keep these birds flying domestic/Trans Tasman only. While a cabin upgrade is always welcome, the non-adjustable headrests make for an uncomfortable journey if they fly longer than, say 4 or 5 hours. Have to agree, for a low cost airline it is very impressive that they have...

Thanks very much for the insight. No rush on upgrading the flight then (credit card needs a break after Black Friday). Did not consider the upgraded flight would be one that would earn Qantas SCs too. A nice little bonus. Thanks for the insight. Agree, that previous comment from cambriamarsh...

Hi all, Upcoming inter-Europe flight in the second half of 2025 with BA, the flight is operated by 'British Airways Euroflyer' if that matters and is onboard an A320. In the Manage Booking section of the app and website there is an option to upgrade my flight to business class. This is 'Club...

Given Emirates is often considered the very best, especially by Aussies flying across to Europe, it is pretty appalling that they operate a business class in anything other than a 1-2-1 configuration - especially with the premium price that comes along with it. Understanding many flights are...

Thanks @Austman and @sap1l for your reviews on the extra leg room seats. Am flying SYD to KUL on the A330 that has this mini-economy class cabin behind business in rows 9 & 10. I see a lot of people whinging about A330's in general, but I think they are far better for customers given the...

Totally agree with you on the difficulties finding J award bookings to Europe. This will definitely become worse if the proposed Velocity changes under Qatar part-ownership come into effect with Ethiad being dropped as a partner and no Singapore codeshare flights to Europe. These changes will...
