I was going through some old work files. Lo and behold what did I find? the QANTIM Application from November 2002. There have been a couple of older (and now locked) posts about this: 2012 by @eric2011 - QANTIM travel planner by Qantas and 2014 by @albatross710 Qantim And yes it installs...

Looks like AA have got the ball rolling on oneworld alliance upgrades: https://upgrade.plusgrade.com/offer/AmericanAirlines The keyword here is operated as it doesn't appear to require AA to be the Marketed partner. Credit to @Mwenenzi for finding this! EDIT: Not new, but in place since...

Someone tell me where my maths is wrong. I can buy 100,000 Velocity points for $2,340. I can then convert these into 64,517 Krisflyer points. To earn that many Krislfyer points through AMEX rewards, I'd need 193,551 Amex award points. Which means spending about $150k on Amex to get the...

Hmm Virgin booking system seems to have doubled up on October and decided April 2025 doesn't need to exist.

I've been listening to the BBC Radio series "Cabin Pressure" endlessly the past few weeks. One of their things is the games that the crew play on their flights, like "Books That Sound More Interesting with the Final Letter Knocked Off" eg. The Da Vinci Cod. So in similar vein for AFF, I offer a...

What is the general consensus for ExpertFlyer displaying a seat as blocked: Does it mean: Someone else has booked that seat? It's not selectable? It is empty and will switch to occupied it someone is allocated to it Anything else? Or possibly some combination of the above

Has anyone found a decent website that allows you to enter flight details to determine which flight is considered the "most significant carrier" by the IATA rules? Qantas Publishes this in their help: Help and Support | Qantas Cathay provides a map at least and some examples...

Plane's landing gear fails, sparking emergency at Newcastle airport A light plane is circling above Newcastle airport at Williamtown ahead of what will be an emergency landing. Police have told the ABC the plane's landing gear has failed. It has been circling above the airport for at least two...

Hi can anyone clarify the situation on the referral offers. In Particular the Qantas Business Rewards AMEX. MY situation is that I already have one personal Amex card in my own name. One of my business has a the QBR Amex. Can this business provide a referral link to a second business (that I...

Over the past couple of years, I've moved to having all my tech gadgets use USB-C charging, which has made life much easier in terms of needing to carry power packs and power adapters around. But Now I think I've found my ideal travel charger system - at least under current requirements...

Not sure who else has heard this but "Cabin Pressure" The audio sitcom starring Benedict coughberbatch, John Finnemore, Roger Allam, Stephanie Cole. Well worth a listen and a chuckle for those of us interested in airlines The entire seasons 1-4 + specials are available on Spotify - remember...

Elite Gold Tier. i think the timing was the issue. I'll try again closer to the 3 month window.

ET posting an article about oneworld alliance wide upgrades..woohoo! (not sure If I'm allowed to post the link!)

Has anyone on AFF been using the CBP MPC app for entry into the USA? More details about this app here: Mobile Passport Control (MPC) The wording is a bit vague as it suggests "The MPC mobile app, is available to U.S. citizens, U.S. lawful permanent residents, Canadian B1/B2 citizen visitors...

Received this morning upon arrival at SYD F Lounge. Nice but not sure it makes for a good coaster.

Does anyone else on AFF ever have to carry conference/exhibition banners? and what's their go-to method? Most of my international travel is to attend conferences/events, often where I'm part of the team exhibiting. This from time to time means I am also required to bring over and bring back...

I don't use AMEX travel much but have a $400 credit through my Platinum Reserve card. Do these bookings through AMEX at hotels recognise your status for the major chains, and would you typically then earn nights/points using the Amex credit?
