I wonder if Alitalia versions 1, 2, 3, etc (as a separate legal entities) still owe other Skyteam members for reciprocal access to lounges, points flights and are being treated like other creditors? Given ITA is effectively another version, are they being denied full access until some form of...

Star Alliance claims just require the ticket number, flight number, origin & destination and the class travelled. Most of my claims have been processed within 10 mins. Amazing what can happen if you invest in technology to make your customers experience easier.

Dear Queensland, You made it abundantly clear that we weren't welcome. We listened.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Kamakura. It is an easy day trip from Tokyo, jam packed with temples - both Buddhist and Shinto, and you can also fit in Yokohama on the way back to Tokyo (although that makes it a very full day). My suggestion would be to travel JR to Kita Kamakura...

If you can get hands on them, change into QF 1st class PJ's once on board. The drink service level increases without asking. That helps me get to sleep :D

I presume that you have been using your WP status on the other OW carriers to access to various facilities. Please remember if you don't fly the 4 segments, not only will you not get WP status again, but you won't be getting any status except NB. So you will lose access to all privileges on the...

A few additional factors missing from the model: Taking money from the mortgage is not free. You are either paying additional interest, or missing out on offset interest. Based on $30K withdrawn on each day over 7 business days to build the $200K stake, and a home loan interest rate of approx...

My personal rule is 4 hours, although I will go shorter at airports I know are very efficient like SIN. For HKG, my preference is 3 hours, as the queues at the transfer desk and subsequent security lines can be painful. I've come very close to missing flights on 1:45 connections on the same PNR...

That makes sense to me. Mrs Rezzadogs is also a WP. She regularly flew J to LHR and received copies of Air, but they have dried up since her company policy shifted her to catching EY instead of QF. In terms of different flying, Most of my SC's are collected on Dom whY and OW J class, but hers...

Thanks for the question 737. Personally, I'm happy with a smile and friendly service. I do appreciate a "welcome back" when boarding, and the occassional spare Fin Review making its way to the Y cabin. I'm not worried about a free alchobevie, as I've normally grabbed one in the J lounge, and...

I've received 4 op-ups this year. One was after take-off on a PER/MEL redeye :D (2 broken seats further back, and I had a seat blocked next to me on an otherwise full plane), the others have all been at the gate. Mrs Rezzadogs is also a long term WP, and has had close to 10 op-ups this year...

3 flights in the last 2 days. All Red e. SYD/MEL in 34A. This is the furthest back in a 767 in I don't know how many years, but was an exit row in an Int config. MEL/HBA in 8A, but 8B blocked. 8C was Gold HBA/SYD in 5F with the whole row to myself. The only thing I've noticed recently is that...

Flew BOM/SIN last year on the red eye in J. Service was OK, meals good, but IFE lacked recent English movies. Majority of J customers under blankets and asleep before blocks off. Codeshare flight number is only available if connecting to a QF flight out of SIN. Unfortunately I wasn't, so flew...
