    Platinum shadow seat

    I still have a shadow at T-1, EF has the seat blocked and lounge staff say that I still have an empty seat next to me. Plane is now 90% full, so I will be very happy if it sticks.

    I just asked - they haven’t printed them yet, but if I get my hands on one before I leave I’ll post a picture!

    Jetstar no longer selling Max bundle in Economy

    They've also taken away a bundle with 14kg of carry-on. I'm realistically not going to fit everything in under 7kg (my non-clothes backpack already usually comes up to 5kg). These set of changes doesn't just kill Max bundle efficiency for me, but also makes the Starter Plus bundle a lot worse...

    Reward Flight Questions

    Amazing, thanks! I vaguely remembered seeing that floating around, but I didn't realise it was also filterable (i.e. it wasn't just a blank route map).

    JAL Japan Airlines domestic business

    Yep - I am consistently impressed with the WiFi on domestic JAL flights. The lounges at HND and CTS are the same as well!

    Fly in style, stay in ghetto. Anyone else do that?

    My maths tells me that if I save $200 p/n across 7 nights, I can use the money on more flights :p

    JAL Japan Airlines domestic business

    Yep, Japan domestic is incredibly no-frills. "Class J", as you have experienced, has the same service as economy. You do get a meal in what's labelled as "First Class", but it's a lot more expensive. The Class J seat is also no better than a PE seat, even on widebodies. The lounges are the...

    Reward Flight Questions

    While I agree that it's worthwhile to look at the thread linked above, I can offer some suggestions for your routing. I’m guessing that the biggest difficulty is the SIN-FRA leg, so that’s what I’ll focus on. Note that you will need to fly oneworld airlines, and there needs to be classic...

    Platinum shadow seat

    As @RichardMEL has said, I can see a blocked seat follow me around in EF.

    Platinum shadow seat

    I can see a blocked Y seat following me around on QF291 SYD-SIN at T-80. Flight is about 70% full. Let’s see if it sticks - EF is reporting pretty high inventory left, so unless it’s overridden hopefully it’ll stick!

    Adelaide dinner on Saturday, 27 July 2024

    Thanks! It’ll probably be between this and the Ibis depending on how long I stay in Adelaide. The area around the Watson looks nice but it doesn’t look too convenient for a short stay.

    Adelaide dinner on Saturday, 27 July 2024

    Watching this with interest. I have plans to be in Melbourne the next week, so I'll see if I can re-jig my plans so I go SYD-ADL-MEL-SYD instead. Does anyone have recommendations for Accor hotels in Adelaide? I'm eyeing the Watson as it's relatively cheap and looks quite good. I've never been...

    Qantas Travel Money changing to Qantas Pay - May 2024

    I know the FX rates were bad, but even with the bonus points offer I'm barely breaking even by my calculations, especially when you factor a QF point earning 0%FX card. This being a debit not a CC is more accessible to most, but even so, I think I'd still recommend a 0% debit card over this. I...

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    Ah, yes. You’re right. I couldn’t find CX availability at 360 days before. I don’t have an exact number, but the CX awards I added to my OWA were between 5 and 8 months ahead.

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    Side note: I found quite a decent amount of CX availability in J when planning my OWA. There was also tons of Y and Y+ on CX as well. What routes are you specifically looking for?

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    The way to do it is to filter out specific carriers (there's a checkbox to exclude instead of include). Then, once the results load, you can select QFF in the programs dropdown. The only issue with this method is that it will still show all carriers when you hover over, like this: To get...
