    Qantas partnership with BP

    If 50,000 people got the offer and use it, they will each get 100 points. Just so you keep a sense of perspective.

    The Master SQ Guide (Krisflyer, Waitlists & Waitlists Clearing)

    SQ has a rule of most direct route/no backtracking. I understand they police this by looking at the total mileage of both AAA-BBB-CCC and the direct AAA-CCC. If AAA-BBB-CCC is more than a certain percentage of AAA-CCC (e.g. 175% - I don't know what the actual percentage is) it will trigger as...

    And MS for that Misr-able flying experience.

    That would be a great result. Sometimes the change fee is hidden in the increased taxes/fees you are charged.

    The Master SQ Guide (Krisflyer, Waitlists & Waitlists Clearing)

    This should be easily possible but they will charge you a change/assistance fee.

    The Master SQ Guide (Krisflyer, Waitlists & Waitlists Clearing)

    I have never had a waitlisted flight come through. I have learned to set my expectations accordingly.

    To be fair there’s not much you can do with that space. When I flew SQ in F a couple of weeks ago I used Priority Pass to get some grub at Pulpo/Movida and squatted in the Marhaba lounge. I’d have to be pretty desperate to use the SQ lounge.

    Book the Cook

    I had the bak chor mee dry style in F and liked it so much I ordered it on the return flight in J. The only difference was that the J version did not have soup on the side but perhaps that was an oversight.

    I feel like I have already given this reply to you previously, but where airlines do have programs that allow points to be used like cash, they generally offer extremely poor value and are unpopular.

    Specifically which bells and whistles do you not expect with a points booking?

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    One carrier (EK?) does not give its chauffeur service to redemption bookings but apart from that I expect the same service for award bookings as for revenue bookings. I have never asked for second helpings of caviar but I would assume if they load one serving per passenger that they could only...

    The current perfume offering is not expensive and doesn’t last very long. The Neroli in particular only lasts 20 minutes.

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    I had MH cancel flights within two hours. They require immediate reticketing. The good news is that the escalations email address seems to be able to get flights reinstated even if it can take a week or so.

    Not much to say really. Priority Pass gets you this in T2. The dosa is as long as my arm and full of vegetable curry. It was an effort to finish all this.

    I’m currently in the T2 F Lounge. My flight is T2 and I can’t be annoyed going to T3 for TPR. I was initially directed to the J Lounge and said I had arrived yesterday in F. They scanned yesterday’s boarding pass and sent me F-wards. The lounge is small and not particularly interesting. I had...

    Could it possibly be worse than the humiliation of being looked after by cabin crew wearing blue kebayas?

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    No matter. I might as well slum it in the J lounge. It will be good practice for the flight. I have never flown less than F with SQ before.

    Question about lounge access in SIN. I have a single ticket MEL-SIN-BWN. The first sector was in F and the second sector will be in J. I arrived in SIN at 3pm today and left the airport to go to a hotel. My flight tomorrow leaves at 9am. I aim to get to the airport at 6.30am. Will I get into...

    Correct. I have never understood why people who have a bank error in their favour find it necessary or helpful to tell people about it.
