EK has popcorn on snack menu.

EK flights posted within 24 hours of chasing up. Still waiting on JQ to credit which I chased up at the same time.

Thanks to this dsc dropping when it did I might make LTP within 20 years of joining qff after all.

In T3 security is mostly shared between two adjacent gates. A few have more gates shared but generally won't have more than a couple of flights leaving from those gates within a short period of time. Still much better than centralized security screening for predictability of how long it will...

Crowne Plaza is landside (but connected to terminals) so need to enter Singapore. Next day check in 90 mins prior to departure. If already checked in then go to immigration about 1 hour before departure if you don't want to spend time in lounge or shopping. Immigration is always quick at SIN...

I like SIN security being at the gate. The trick is to arrive at the gate approx 20 mins prior to departure (allowing for delays if on QF!). Queue is then short and straight through to board. I've connected in SIN hundreds of times.

Yes I'm waiting on 4 ek flights to post from late feb. And 2 jq flights with max bundle from early Mar.

Perhaps a possible buyer for Auckland when the council gets around to selling down its ownership stake? AKL owns a lot of adjacent land so makes a lot of money from its property holdings.

Half price public transport fares are extended to 30 June 2023. With an election in October there is a high chance of a further extension.

Thus kind of situation occurs fairly often in NZ on the main routes between akl, wlg, chc. No availability for a day or more due to insufficient capacity for demand.

The ground level corridor is open most of the day because transfer security in the 50s gates is only open for an hour or two in the morning peak.

I disagree. While some places can ve problematic (eg needing visa even for turn-around), most are fine in my experience. Over the years I've done international turn-arounds hundreds of times in dozens of countries, with limited issues.

The new direct bus service goes directly to sky city - no other stops. It also requires pre-booking although I assume at quiet times you could just book immediately after your flight lands and still get the next bus.

Also conside ex-nz. Cheaper fares, more SC, and seems no issue in showing ek flights to Europe. Depending on fare rules you may even be able to stopover in Aust (so can use to position for the next ex-nz ticket).

For NZ based P1s seems to have been bubbles or nothing. I got bubbles but know others who got nothing. I earned 11k SCs during 2022 (should have been more but cancelled trips due to getting covid). The others I know earnt much less. And no Christmas vouchers either. On a positive note the gent...

exactly :p

I've flown all airlines A380 except NH and HiFly. Most of these in F some in C. I've flown well over 200 A380 flights & 1 million flown miles (for me the third most flown a/c type by distance behind 747 and 777).

It will depend on when you select seats. Initially restricted options due to weight and balance, and more seats open up as flight gets fuller.

This was before P1 existed but some of us got a joyride in qf a380 prior to commercial launch. I was on the secret top tier at the time and got F.
