I need to be in London 6-9 September then to NYC for a few weeks before heading back to Asia. I can start and end my travel in any Asian country by using points to redeem an award ticket from my Asian base which is HKG. Apart from the 6-9 Sep in London, dates for the rest of the trip is...

I have looked at the same thing time and time again in the past. For someone who travels mainly to HKG, SIN, KUL, SFO, BKK, the conclusion I reached is that Oneworld offers superior benefits to that of the other alliances. QF offers the easiest way to qualify for Oneworld Emerald. The...

Yes correct. Then when the mechanical problem was fixed, they couldn't find new crew to work. By the way, the same problem happened the night before so a number of passengers that turned up the same night as me said it was deja vu and most of them decided to find alternative ways to get to...

I did not ask for too much. Just send me to a hotel with a room when they cancel the flight at 1:30am. There is a sequel to all this. Stay tuned.

Can't just blame the altitude of the staff on management but management is responsible for the lack of knowledge of the staff. My experience showed that most employees at AA couldn't care less. It is a culture problem that any CEO may struggle to change.

Altitude has nothing to do with what they can do but how they deal with customers. Competency is about how well they understand process, procedures and options for customers. In my case, their advice was they will eventually get me to Doha and delays happen all the time (which I agree) but my...

I had an interesting experience recently flying AA from JFK to KUL via DOH & CGK. I found out that my JFK-DOH flight was delayed by 1 hour when I was checking in. There was only a 2 hr layover in DOH so I was concerned about missing the connection to CGK. The flight was delayed a few times...

Unless I'm really pressed for time, I'll take the J option. I'm flying from HKG-JFK next week. Instead of a direct flight from Hong Kong with CX that will cost $5k+, I redeemed a ticket to fly to Jakarta then catch QR/AA via Doha to JFK in J. Total cost is slightly less than $5k. I'll take...

I did the trip in Mar /Apr and got 480 SC. Booked with AA but JAL metal. A$4.7k which is great value. Looking at another trip in late May and pricing is the same.

It reminded me of airfare out of Yangon many years ago. Whoever put in the exchange rate missed a zero.

I have been travelling with my kids who have severe allergy to peanuts for 18 years. I remember that QF and CX both had a list of the ingredients in their meals and I never had to worry. Doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Is it one of the post-covid changes to air travel?

I need to go to SFO-LAS-LAX-NYC and has been looking for some cheap J fares. Apart from starting from Jakarta, I found similar (slightly more expenisve) fares from Hanoi to SFO. The fare on aa is cheaper than Kayak or Skyscanner which is a bit strange. I may end up doing HAN-NRT-SFO then...

I have been thinking about the issue here. From now onwards, does it mean that I have to do what CX said in the letter, that is to complete “Physician’s Statement: Peanut and Tree nut allergies form” and submitting it at least 72 hours prior to scheduled departure? What a hassle it would be if...

Now I know. But how many Australians teenagers would?

My kids have severe peanut allergy. The level of allergy is severe enough for them to carry an Epipen with them all the time but not severe enough to avoid food that "may have traces of peanuts". My wife and kids recently travelled on Cathay Pacific in PE and my sons asked the cabin crew...

Who in their right mind would convert CX points to Bonvoy points?

Using the Multi stops search helps. It's showing options now available for the single One Way/Return flight search. Thanks!

No. I am trying to book a simple One-Way trip only from HKG and KUL. Yes I can see them as well. Just can't find anything from HKG or KUL.

I think you missed my point. I think there is a problem with booking non QF award flights on the QF website. Can you find any CX/MH award flight availability for any route now?

So CX will get more MH award seats than QF? When a MH award seat is available to CX frequent flyer members at a particular moment in time, it may not be available to QFF at that same moment in time?
