    QF AKL - North America early oct - early Dec. J 6599+ NZD return

    so this just dropped into my inbox. there hasn't been any significant ex-NZ sales from QF for a while. I suspect loads aren't as great. relatively ok in terms of price for J ex-akl lax/dfw/sfo is via Syd (extra status credits 80 each to Syd in Syd) jfk is direct on QF 3/4 9 Oct - 4 Dec J is...

    Refurbished Auckland lounge

    they were never going to finish it by the launch of qf3. it was always going to be another 12-18 months for completion. some work has started in the first class cupboard, but that is all at the present

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    this was the abomination served on QF9 mel - per this week. earlier in the month I had the plant based option which was a pasta which was much more edible the smoked salmon tasted off, the eggs were so hard boiled I expected them to knock someone out, the cucumber was noodle-fied which made it...

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    Specifically AY has cabin crew bases at Asian destinations - SIN/HKG/DEL Crew are from an outsourced company called AAP aviation. They will wear AY uniform, fly AY planes, conduct AY service but will be from an outport base. NZ similarly did the same with its PVG route where they had a PVG base...

    Fixing QF Lifetime Status

    I would prefer if QF made achieving platinum more incentivising once you reach LTG. I'm about 4000 SC away and trying to decide what to do when I get there. sure first lounges are great for TT hops which are a lot of my flying, but that's really about it. It remains difficult to request for...

    Flight Changes

    Are you sure that you aren’t dealing with a married segment issue on BA? That is, BA only will offer the award SYD-SIN-LHR, but not SYD-SIN or SIN-LHR therefore, if you try to add a sector to SIN, it will come up as unavailable

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    That’s great …. Interestingly ex-Mel has the same issue as ex-AKL Basically it’s air Sydney and the old QF25/26 problem LAX-AKL-MEL I wonder if you could request QF3 ex- Mel/akl/Bne from the droid if the through is available. It’s actually available married with a few other ex-Syd flights, not...

    QF Business Flights From NZ to USA via AUS cheaper than from AUS?

    the lead in A fare return though is $14000 NZD ish if I recall. OW for 8840 AUD is hardly cheap.. J trans-pacific if I recall fare rules right, used to allow a stopover in sydney. therefore you could strategically book akl-syd-lax//lax-osyd-akl stopover on Sydney in the return and save a...

    Qantas to Launch SYD-AKL-JFK (June 2023)

    Even on day 1 when they did the points plane there was no independent QF3/4 AKL-JFK vv I suspect that this will be like the old QF25/26 situation, where you could get MEL-AKL-LAX/LAX-AKL-MEL but not AKL-LAX/LAX-AKL. It will be interesting to see if you could request this through Hobart using...

    AKL-CBR J booking - domestic connection offered only in Y?

    it's only hard if you use a QF search engine, it's easy if you use any TA or OTA. while there are some married segment restrictions it's been very easy far to get D fares. there are no published I fares beyond the three eastern ports I can find

    AKL-CBR J booking - domestic connection offered only in Y?

    it's not a married segment logic issue, it's actually a manipulative QF search engine issue to maximize profits I've concluded. I've mentioned this before in a previous akl - per discussion, where the trans-continental books into economy on no matter the business fare (J, C, D or I). there are...

    Article: Qantas’ Frustrating Application of Married Segment Logic

    while QF won't control married segments, the other carrier may have their own married segments Finnair/KLM/China Airlines is an interesting combination. potentially not married segments then? it's hard to test without plenty of availability around.

    Article: Qantas’ Frustrating Application of Married Segment Logic

    It is very likely that it is a married segment issue. If you try to drop HEL-AMS, then it is very possible that there won’t be any AMS-TPE-MEL availability. If you no show HEL-AMS, you forfeit the entire ticket. Basically you should be prepared to travel from HEL…hate to break it to you. It...
