How's the renovation noise?

re: Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion Thanks for the responses. I think I might just do CX F + J via Alaska miles instead. Life Miles is just too much of an unknown commodity - I'll give them a go when its a more guaranteed routing.

I'd go for the EK F/JL J if you see availability and save the SQ. That's not based on a product vs product though if that's what you are looking for.

re: Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion Need some opinions. I want to fly ORD-HND-BKK-SYD in F. ORD-SYD for my date returns ORD-NRT-SYD first then economy...not what I want. My itinerary is available searching leg by leg but the BKK stopover would be ~10 hours. Would I screenshot...

Phone/electronic device use is allowed gate to gate by the FAA these days. Tray table out with a laptop on it I'd guess not. Laptop on lap I don't know?

For first class: SQ SYD-SIN-FRA-JFK is 152,000 KF miles + ~$200 AUD. EY SYD-AUH-JFK is 203,000 Velocity points + $600 USD + maybe some more taxes. Availability on EY was great for the dates I wanted. One date I wanted with SQ was available. Last week booking in November so didn't expect to...

Wow so I could even add a JFK-ORD throw away leg so get a 25,000 pts saving with a tiny bit extra $? Top info. I was under the impression under the *A redemption even the SQ legs would have the old taxes.

Looks like: SQ only: 152,000 + ~$200 taxes *A: 127,000 + $??? The fuel etc taxes is the part I am not sure of.

Thanks for that. I've booked SYD-SIN-FRA-JFK (mentioned a page ago) and was thinking why don't I try change the FRA-JFK to LH so I can take a Porsche for a spin, hit the first class terminal for a whisky+cigar and then try out a new airline. Obviously it'll have to be close in for the availability.

What are peoples thoughts SQ Suites vs Lufthansa F on FRA-JFK who have flown both? Doesn't have to be that specific route I guess.

Transfer from her MR account to your Krisflyer account?

Found Saver F/Suites SYD-SIN-FRA-JFK for the day before I need...close enough as far as I'm concerned. Now to keep checking my account for the Citi points transfer to come... Much better redemption than SYD-AUH-JFK on EY at 203,000 velocity + $600 USD seat fees + any other taxes on top. Loads...

How long have you had the card for? Where you calling after the yearly fee posted?

For travel in say Nov should I expect the A330 to be in use on the SYD-MNL leg or safer to fly via MEL? I'd have to position for either so doesn't really matter to me either way...

Just pick up a little container of soy milk from the airport if possible. :confused: You'd think most airlines would cater for lactose intolerance these days.

Because that is the ideal arrangement where a fire in the cargo hold would cause an emergency diversion. However with intelligence of a threat to use a bomb hidden in a laptop the risk profile flips to preferable for a fire to occur in the cargo hold and divert than for an explosion in the...

Cargo holds have smoke detectors and fire suppression.

re: New US & UK Laptop/Tablet ban on up to 8 countries Response to intelligence of a credible threat?

Yeah you can.

Waitlist what you want while you have the required points then book the confirmed flight (which then takes the points). Waitlist a few days if you have the flexibility. Then if/when one of the waitlisted opens up I believe you can just cancel the confirmed J and take the waitlisted F. The points...
