    QF returning to KUL (maybe)

    Very common for airports (and governments) to be chasing airlines, getting QF to KUL is a long shot IMHO given the aircraft shortages QF have and I'm sure there are other ports that are well and truly ahead of KUL in the pecking order. LHR and HEL can be accessed through SIN and HKG with BA and...

    Qantas Starts Installing Split Scimitar Winglets

    Well I'm sure the engineers and the ops team recommended it years ago, but AJ pretty much deferred all the capex QF needed so that he could use the cash to return to shareholders --> beefs up the share price --> juices up his KPI's ---> bigger bonus. QF has got a mountain of capex to fund with...

    I finally got my points posted overnight, which seems to align with your timing but is out of whack with the timing of some of the others here. Better late than never !

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    Starting to panick now, got Aeroplan 50k status on 25 November and here I am 10 weeks later with nothing :( I did reach out to Aeroplan on Facebook messenger and got a generic response saying I should contact HSBC, but this promotion actually has nothing to do with HSBC as the bonus 50,000...

    Qantas deliberately hiding QF awards to QFF and pushing JQ seats instead?

    Don't bother transferring your points to AA, you can go through and try make a booking even without sufficient points in your account, it's only at the very last stage will the system tell you that you have insufficient points. With the phantom award space, you won't even get to that last stage...

    Qantas deliberately hiding QF awards to QFF and pushing JQ seats instead?

    The AA space is phantom, seats show as available on the search engine but then clicking through to try and confirm the booking gives an error message ( I used your date above as an example). Happens quite a bit with the AA award search engine, when you think you've found a J award only to find...

    An Open Letter to my fellow AFF members - External Influence on this website

    To be honest, this thread is much ado about nothing. If there are indeed 'external influences' on this site but there are only "small number of users on AFF" that fit this 'profile', then those posters are punching well above their weight if their posts have the effect of having such a...

    Brazil reintroduces visa requirement for Australians (now delayed until 2025)

    All about milking that cash cow that is the tourist. Easy way to prop up the coffers. Its a false economy though, the tourist dollars foregone will exceed the revenue raised.

    Qantas, Virgin, Qatar called to assist with Israel repatriation flights

    There is a certain irony that an airline owned by a government that is providing residence to (and supposed financial assistance) the leader of organisation that was responsible for the deliberate targetting of civilians, is now providing a flight home to those impacted by the violence/conflict.

    New controversial work travel policy

    Wow, HR would have a coronary at that prospect if that were to happen today ! I've had to share a room (same gender) when I was a gradling and attended a new starter conference. It was only for a night, but my roommate snored and it wasn't the best sleep I've ever had ! I've had colleagues who...

    Minimum Connection Time SIN

    If there is one ground crew/airport where your bags have the highest chance of making it, SIN will be right up there. I've only ever had 3 connections which were 50mins-60 mins, 1 with SQ in SIN, 1 with CX in HKG and once with MH in KUL. Only MH/KUL managed to miss my bags, luckily they had...

    Minimum Connection Time SIN

    If you were able to book it in the first instance, it would've been a legal connection, now that you want additional buffer, its effectively a flight change from you, depending upon the conditions attached with your ticket, this may involve a change fee + any difference in fare.

    Minimum Connection Time SIN

    Not always the case, SQ212 will often arrive into T2. Today SQ212 arrived in T3, yesterday it was T2.
