Brattish Airways? That's a good name for them ;) Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. QF will charge you whatever applicable change fee that your purchased fare has in its rules, plus the fare difference between what you paid and the new fare. Often the change fees are $500 or more on these...

Someone I know won a return Y trip to Europe, including acommodation etc. There was the promoter and a marketing company. They're dealing with the marketing company and the travel agent acting on the behalf of said marketing company, and the TA won't even tell them a thing until the marketer...

Couldn't agree more. Considering they bought a big data company, I have no idea why they're not utilising their resources to dig through the mountains of data they have. Companies never cease to amaze me in their stupidity.

100% legitimate. Have done various surveys like this for QF in the past. Agreed it could be done in a more professional way to assure of privacy, but it's a survey. They ask zero identifying questions (if you are actually clicking the link). This is being discussed elsewhere on the net. It's...

I disagree. The agent I spoke to said "let me check the memo about the new change" and read word for word from it. Seemed pretty clear.

I rang VFF yesterday to try and change an EY F flight I have. Currently, I have an extended layover in AUH and was attempting to move to the earlier connection to LHR. Unfortunately it wasn't available. A few things were pointed out which were absolutely convoluted. - If the earlier flight is...

Re: Research & book AA "Non-refundable "/"Instant Upgrade"/"YUPP" fare to maximise SC Did you ask for a re-route? ;) Explain to Qantas that AA had to re-route you (involuntary) as it was a delay/tech/weather problem etc. Providing the original booking and proof of actual flights taken should...

It's about many things these days. Jet fuel, whilst on a breather from record high prices, continues to be the airlines biggest cost and is highly volatile to wild price fluctuations. The world is more concious about the environment now too, meaning that airlines scrimp and save weight on...

Flew QF J the other day and had my headphones on. I heard an announcement so took them off. Heard the meal choices (Chicken and Quinoa salad, or another hot Chicken dish). Both sounded excellent, and I assumed it was the J meals. When the FA got to me and asked what I would like, I was told 'oh...

Unfortunately one way long haul international are typically considerably more expensive than booking a return. Flexis even worse as you can see. Keep in mind, that if you do take this route, only VA Gold and Platinum can request upgrades to higher cabins for points. You can request an UpgradeMe...

Re: Research & book AA "Non-refundable "/"Instant Upgrade"/"YUPP" fare to maximise SC Slight edit, you *could* end up in economy. I've found mostly AA are more than willing to move flights around for you and even re-route, to ensure you're in F. Then, a simple ORC to Qantas saying you were...

It's part and parcel. Apple are the aquirer here. If you have no security concerns, you have no concerns about Apple. They are simply an intermediary. Back to the original mention, ApplePay and Loyalty has always been the plan. At launch they talked about it from memory. In a way it's being...

Of course, check out the Lounge Meet thread and you never know someone may be able to help :)

To access a DL lounge with the Amex Platinum Charge Card, your next flight must be on DL. HNL is a DL operated lounge. "affiliated lounge agreements" are where DL does not operate a lounge but uses a third party lounge, operated by either an airline or alternate lounge company such as Emperor...

Where are you departing from? If LAX, there's no DL lounge in TBIT, so it's a moot point. There is a tunnel from Terminal 6 though to TBIT, but the hike from T5 to TBIT is not a short one (around 10-15 minutes from lounge to TBIT shopping area depending on your walking speed). The DL lounge...

Perhaps you should go and read up on how Apple Pay actually works. There's no security risks there. In fact, it's more secure than regular PayWave/PayPass from a technical standpoint. Now that ANZ is on-board, expect some further capitulation within the banking industry. ANZ said they were...

It only works on selected locations. This has been the case for some time now.

According to the RFC you are indeed correct. In my 20+ years in the industry, i'm yet to see anyone actually enforce it though ;)

Heh touché ;) I should read, I sit corrected. Clearly my second coffee hadn't kicked in. You're right, of course :D
