Some good info here - but I think Part 2 would be great if the comparison of points conversion tables could be listed to show what card has the best transfer value to air points. Dummies like me are not across any program except QFF so knowing what a RTW J trip would cost would be excellent (and...

WP and P1 can request for family. Random friends on the interwebs is not allowed, but I was desperate and wanted to add to the useless question pool.

It is 2 bookings as Auckland struggled to merge them. With the First leg we would have paid the same-ish points so I didn't push it. We paid $500 each inbound and €431 for both outbound in taxes.

We booked the Northeast passage with Ponant and were very disappointed. It turned into the Northwest passage after Putin decided to ruin the sandpit and we went the other way over Canada. The Arctic is very different to the Antarctic - barren, rocky, mainly flat and not as picturesque. The...

Is it appropriate to ask if a P1 could do a booking on a persons behalf? My 'Friend' is struggling to get flights to LHR mid-August 2025. Yes, they realise the got nada direct but if they could get to Dallas it would work.

Unexpected good - GREAT! - news on the delayed bags. Finnair refused my claim as it was past 21 days of the event. Duh, I was just trying to enjoy a holiday and didn't want to deal with BS of insurance. QF bounced me to AY, stating it was the last carrier that had to stump up the compensation...

Yes. They wipe it off with a towel. Personally never had an issue with residue.

787 bins are huuuge and I don't think you'll struggle sharing

Thanks. We'll probably do the East Coast USA route with AA, I wasn't sure how the friendly folks employed by Homeland Security treated you when arriving from that part of the world.

All We need to get from Quito in Ecuador to Las Vegas in May 2025. I see we can do Copa via Panama, various via Miami and others. Are there any concerns flying into the US by any particular country? I don't really want to be interrogated at the US border for a poor decision. No real criteria...

Lowly WP. SCL-SYD mid-May 2025, 4 dates, 2 x J. Computer said no despite J sale on offer. (Luckily we had approved SYD-SCL in April 2025 last month) LAX-SYD, LAX-MEL, DFW-SYD, DFW-MEL same dates, same pax. Computer said yes. All approved on request, not sure what the RRP fare bucket had in it.

Yeah resembled a milk shake when the FA first poured it. I should have done the Pacific ale but I really wanted a Boags lager.

QF145 Syd- Akl Absolutely the best CSM ever on board. 3 choices - pork, beef or chicken. Went the chicken salad. Was all very tasty too. Served with a salmon lettucy thing, cheese and choccy Proving that pouring beer at 30,000 feet is an art Matched the cheese with a Shiraz

Qf145 today. Booked basement Y, 8pm last night randomly checked app and saw my upgrade had been successful.. so 2D here I come. No upgrade available or requested. First time ever being upgraded. Wonder if it is a result of a different flight booking made 2 days ago? And bonus points for...

Agreed. Eggs Benny this morning were cold and hard. And we were offered someone else’s pancakes.

The one time I had a facial about 8 hours into the flight my eyes started to ache and burn. I thinks the treatment stuff reacted with me. It didn’t make me look like Tom Cruise as requested.

Wildlife is our thing. Done Antarctica, the Arctic and planning Galapagos and Botswana. Pictures are all taken on a iPhone 13. I have $10,000 worth of camera stuff with a lens as long as your arm and I continually am amazed what an iPhone can do. Seriously ask why I have a 12Kg backpack full...

Appreciate it. I'm just paying back. Without this forum there is no way I'd be flying business class anywhere and I'd still be thinking I was cool when I hit Silver once. Heck, our first OS trip we thought we were pretty neat and killing the system by paying something like 64,000 points each to...
