    Emirates Cancels Singapore to Melbourne Flights from 30/3/25

    Do we know what the utilisation is on QF53/54? The release from CCCS is on capacity, so could QF switch in some A321 when they come on stream rather than continue with the A330s?

    Points stolen from nearly 1000 QFF members by overseas contractor

    And on top of that we have to think about the workplace arrangements. These staff are in a trusted space that does not rely on the suite of Cyber Security defences we think of with most major business systems. Security here is more physical than electronic, and it is no doubt down to poor...

    Points stolen from nearly 1000 QFF members by overseas contractor

    The initial response to "Catlin" just sounds like a typical off the top of the head comment from someone who feels they have to say something. I doubt it would be from a QF script. This process seems to have been about scooping up points from flights rather than transferring points between...

    You know you are a frequent flyer when ...

    A workmate used to charge his mileage for his long country trips (that he actually took), but didn't drive. Instead he used the trips to keep his flying hours up.

    The view from my "office"

    I had an office like that in Export House, just around the corner in Pitt St, with views out over the Ship inn. Had to turn my desk around so I faced into the office to concentrate on what I was being paid to do.

    Needed to be said….Mentour Pilot discusses the fall of QF

    You have your view and express it forcefully, but for someone who is observing from somewhere along the axis between all in for QF and all out, some views appear to us as clearly polar opposites as @Forg argued. QF is nether all good or all bad. It is an international airline and has no peers...

    Needed to be said….Mentour Pilot discusses the fall of QF

    My biggest peeve with QF, apart from not being able to afford them, is how they have got involved in so many extraneous issues. In the end, AJ left with the airline at the bottom of the league tables, with huge effort expended towards non-flying stuff. They now stand condemned for not doing the...

    Car rental scams in Europe

    I stopped using Hertz owing to similar charges labelled "processing fee". I have been using Sixt only over the last 2 years (UK, France) and have not had any similar issues.

    QF WP Flying EK Codes + Metal

    I tried to change the FF# in EK MMB without luck, and in the end had to ring EK. As so often is the case with matters of frequent flying, it took more than one call. P.S. WP card recognised at the lounges.

    QF WP Flying EK Codes + Metal

    You are correct that you will earn zero SC, and maybe 8,000FFPts. I have had huge issues trying to sort out FF# with EK. If you put your QFF# first, then that is it. Even phone calls to EK don't seem to be able to change it. On the positive side I have had excellent recognition of WP status on...

    QF Ex HkG cash fare need sight credit card

    I had this with my daughter some years ago. I was able to go to the CX office in SYD T1 and show them the card and they made a note on their system to the effect it was all kosher. Perhaps give them a call in SYD.

    JQ A321LR vs VA 737

    My daughter recently flew on the JQ Neo to/from Bali and said the Y seats were "thin" and uncomfortable for a longer flight (more than an hour).

    Latitude 28 Degrees $8 per month starting September 2024

    Well I put $17 on it in July, nothing in August, so I guess that has failed to make the cut for the fee waiver. Will keep the card until after my November trip, and then re-evaluate.
