The flight to Doha was a short hop on a big plane. It was a real treat getting to sit in a Qsuite on such a short flight, and what can I say - it's a really great product! It's spacious, well designed and very private - especially if you close the sliding door. The lady sitting across from me...

So, to Dubai where this journey began... There was quite a queue to check in when I got to DXB around 3 hours before my QR flight departed. Turns out, QR was running an A350-1000 from DXB to DOH at 22:50 (my flight) and another wide-body on the same route at 23:00. They must get a lot of...

I'll start by explaining my itinerary and how I booked this trip. I'm currently based in Europe, and I started this trip by flying to Dubai and spending a few days there. Booking 1: DXB-DOH-RUH in Qatar Airways First Class (booked with Alaska miles) From Dubai, I redeemed Alaska Airlines...

I’ve been curious about visiting Saudi Arabia ever since the Middle Eastern nation first introduced tourist visas in 2019. They didn’t have such a visa prior to this, meaning as a non-Muslim without a business purpose for visiting, it basically wasn’t possible to go there. Saudi Arabia has...

I replied to SATA and they basically just said "too bad, the change also applies to bookings made before we announced it" and that if I didn't like it, I could cancel my ticket for a full refund. Ultimately I still need to take the flights I booked, so I'll just have to suck it up. The issue is...

Sadly, they are the only airline flying on the route I booked.

Back in January, I booked some flights with SATA Azores Airlines. At the time that I booked, their website advised that the airline serves free meals on their flights. Yesterday, I got an email saying: I'm flying after 2 April, and would like to receive the service I paid for, so I took up...

It's showing as the Game Changer configuration until the end of the schedule, including January 2026.

That's frustrating. Did AirAsia offer you a Premium Flatbed seat on a different flight (even if it meant flying the next day, for example)?

It depends on the nature of the codeshare agreement. With most codeshare agreements, like the ones that would be in place on the MEL-SIN route, the marketing airline basically just takes a commission on each sale (e.g. could be in the vicinity of 5-10%) and the rest of the money from each sale...

The additional bonus points for new Qantas credit card customers (i.e. if you haven't had a QF points-earning card in the last year) has been raised to 40,000. So, the sign-up bonus on this card is now 50,000 standard bonus points + 40,000 more for new QFF cardholders (90,000 in total).

The new Virgin Money Anytime Rewards card currently has a sign-up bonus offer for 80,000 Virgin Money points. Annual fee is $149 and you'd need to spend $3,000 within 3 months to get the bonus points. https://virginmoney.com.au/credit-card/compare-our-credit-cards/anytime-credit-card Note...

LATAM is now codesharing on QF's MEL-SIN flight as well. This service must surely have the record for the most flight numbers?!

Given all of the above circumstances, I personally would not touch this ticket. Just make sure it's been re-ticketed correctly and enjoy the trip ;)

I've never experienced that re. the service of alcohol (on routes that have it, which is most). But totally agree about the 777 J - that middle seat looks awful.

There's lots of J availability on these KUL-CDG flights at the moment. Many dates have 2 seats, some have 3 (e.g. this one):

Yes indeed, the lounge food is really good too in Istanbul!! In my experience it doesn't really make a difference if you're on a narrowbody or widebody. The catering should be the same. In fact, if you're on one of the A330s with a high-density J configuration, the actual seats are pretty...

This was the business class menu on TK121 from JED to IST, an afternoon flight: I had the same menu on TLL-IST last year. I suspect this is a standard menu used for the return leg of rotations that are double-catered out of Istanbul. For the main course I had the manti, which was...

This was the business class menu on TK1361, the 9.10pm departure from IST to FCO: Great meal. For the main I had the spicy chicken makhani. I wish I could have also tried the artichoke pasta, which looked excellent.
