Do we have any clarification as to the validity of this claim? I had a similar issue with a HND-JFK which had J showing but wasn’t bookable as part of a OWA. Tried after the fact to “change” to the J seat (that was still showing available) and given the “only for new bookings” like. Did...

This is the point I came here to make. The government abandoned and locked out its own citizens for two years. We’ve proven we have zero obligation to our nationals abroad (and the public generally supported that, as terrifying as it was). In this instance, we have a group of people who sadly...

Timing is the issue. They can’t use wet leased aircraft for HND and it’ll take a long time before they can operate their own. That said, I don’t think the HND slot is the golden goose we’ve been led to believe. Japan is saturated and outbound tourism is simply not recovering to pre-covid...

Coming through SYD intl a few times I’ve noticed the JAL flight load is listed in the low 100s. This was a 777 as well. I suspect JL has the weakest brand of the operators to/from Australia, but they’re still pretty poor numbers.

Most of the emails from freq flyer seem to come from the Philippines with associated poor engrish (some of the emails I’ve received are downright embarrassing… “spirit of Australia”!). The Filipinos tend to use “already” incorrectly. It will generally mean “I’ve just done this for you”.

Has anyone had any luck holding onto the extended AC Gold? My status is showing until the end of 2025 and I’m happy to keep the card going to hold onto that, but not so much if it drops to Silver this year (only spent about 35k)

As in was one pilot on the flight deck? Doesn’t happen. I believe Singapore have at least two captains on these flights. Regardless, rank is likely not a contributing factor

China Airlines isn’t in OneWorld. See if you can find TPE-HKG-SYD

TBH, yes. Really, what’s the difference if you carry 23kg in your checked bag but an additional 4kg in your cabin bag?

Looking at making a redemption booking using this service. I sort of remember something about a PER - anywhere in Africa being priced the same? From what I read, it looks to be a distance based redemption table now (so CPT-JNB-PER pushes it into the 92k category). Has anyone managed to book a...

I got a bit of a stern “they’re only for children” yesterday. When I said it was for my daughter who hadn’t seen me for a few weeks, I sheepishly got a bag with a bear and a few other goodies delivered. Earlier in the flight, I’d seen the crew dragging a bag of them down the aisle.

It’s bizarre. I had this recently once and the call centre told me the only flights they could see were before my intl arrival… the bright sparks then tried to book those and it went as expected

I suspect the banks now aren't even trying to coverup the type of client they want. High income? Guaranteed full monthly payment? They’re not interested. Dropkick who will pay the minimum and drag on a debt for years? Come on down!

Banks do weird things. I got knocked back with this card (with a 300k salaried income from a major corporation) 🤷🏾‍♀️

I had the same schedule change. There was a big red “accept” button at the bottom of the “manage” page on the app. Make sure you click manage as it doesn’t appear on the app itinerary page. Try resending an eticket to yourself and checking if it reflects the new schedule.

Just in the lounge now. Nothing to get too excited about. Seems to be new carpet, same chairs with new upholstery and a new coffee station with a barista who needed to be called over. Buffet is the same, bathrooms haven’t been redone. Feels a little fresher but largely more of the same.

I see the promo is currently doubled to 20k sign on for referee and referer. Mine is Identity - pay.com.au or 5BF785

I’m doing this route next week. 6pm departure to SIN, hot turn and 6am arrival in JNB. Solves the QF problems.

This is Australia. How dare you ask a service staff member to do their job? You’re actually the problem for even wanting service.

I nearly did the same a year or so ago. Flight had no gate assigned and the lounge staff member in T3 said “we’ll make an announcement”. I check the screen 30 mins later and it says “final call”…. In T2. Fortunately made it. It has taught me to keep a closer eye on gates at Changi and not rely...
