    Change Classic Reward ticket to a new name - daughter name to mother - same surname

    Whilst they may not check, it is technically a criminal offense to take a flight using a ticket in someone else's name. A typical risk situation - low probability of occurrence, potential huge consequences. Using false information to take a flight

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Lounge passes are only valid when travelling QF (you have to link them to your QF booking). Depending on how early in January you are travelling, you may have a slim hope that you SG status won't drop before you travel, and will still show. There is generally a grace period of a few days...

    Finnair Luggage money grab or scam?? [Luggage]

    If the ticket from between London and Helsinki was an Economy Light fare then it included NO checked allowance, and uses the piece system. As a OneWorld Sapphire you are entitled to one extra checked piece, so one piece only (not two). On the way out, you will have been checked through with...

    What cheeses me off

    I tried to cancel when that was brought in, but of course the cancellation failed because a late charge came through., Was going to pay that then cancel, but suddenly received a waiver of the monthly fee for a year. Coincidence? I doubt it.

    urgent flights to Toronto Canada

    As you are waiting on a Canada ETA, I assume the FIL is not a Canadian citizen - so you had better get a wriggle on about the return flights as (or at least book a refundable onward flight to the US or the like).

    Article: Qantas Auckland Lounge Upgrade: The End of an Era

    And at 20 November, sill only one flavour, but now Raspberry and White Chocolate - the same served in J on the flight out. Obviously they just buy in bulk whatever is available (probably whatever has been over-produced).

    What cheeses me off

    That's the time to get narky and insist they refund that as well. They will most likely try and say it is not them making the charge, but the bank - which is wrong, they are the merchant charging the fee. Most merchant facilities for credit card typically consist of a fixed monthly fee for the...

    A bit of humour

    I remember (from a long time ago) being in a Civil Engineering lecture at Uni when the professor was talking about investigations done into some of the railway bridges in Victoria (he was somewhat of a bridge investigation expert, having been involved in the West Gate bridge collapse...

    Article: Why Governments Monopolise Regional Routes

    I just googled its specifications. It may be able to do something. Its range with max pax is stated as 1,259km, and the distance from Sydney to Lord Howe Island is about 781km, meaning it is quite a bit short for a round trip. The inbound would suffer other issues as well. That max range...

    Article: Why Governments Monopolise Regional Routes

    I am not sure it has the required range. Apart from the short runway, I believe the issue is the fact that there is nothing else close. To allow for possible diversion, the plane basically needs the range to be able to fly all the way back to SYD if it can't land from some reason.

    A very specific query

    What day do you need to leave? Cayman Airways flight KX107 appears to operate MIA to GCM on Thursday and Friday, which allows a connection from any of three AA flights from MBJ to MIA - allowing for a departure as late as 15:25 to arrive 21:20 same day.

    MEL-ORD booking strategy

    Just remember that you are travelling in a different direction to the US. Generally speaking for most people, travelling East to West (as you did Australia to Germany) is much easier to adjust than travelling Wet to East - as you will in going to the US.

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Not quite., It is not additionally at all. They are willing to sell one at the lower price. They are willing to sell two at the higher price WHILST that one is available at the lower price. If it goes, there may be none left at the higher price.

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    But.... beware. The availability is dynamic. Just because there are 2 at the higher price, or 1 at the lower price does not mean that if you book the one at the lower price, that there will necessarily be one left at the higher price. The yield management algorithms may be happy to sell 2 at...

    Qantas Club Lifetime Membership Benefits Removal

    Only if you only want to bring in one person, and do it every time. If you only needed to guest very occasionally, and wanted to bring in 4 people at once for the same flight, the old system was more convenient.

    Pay Points to Extend Qantas Status

    To be fair, this offer / opportunity has only been to retain a status you are about to lose, so you can't buy the status. In many ways, it makes great sense for Qantas, as there is little downside. If you are not going to fly much with the status, then it won't cost them much in the way of...

    Pay Points to Extend Qantas Status

    You don't necessarily need an invitation. Many have had success from calling and asking (but you may need to HUCA as it is typically QF inconsistent). I think the criteria has little to do with how short you are, but whether or not you have the points, have met the 4 sector requirement and...
