What is the incentive for an airline like Jetstar to run at or close to time. I have, out of curiosity, watched the JQ on time performance of ite afternoon Bali departure from sydney. Shocking. Disgraceful. Consistently delayed. And quite significantly so most times. Do Jetstar even care...

Evening All. Has anyone had any recent experiences with connecting through SIN with a fairly tight connection time? I am flying from DPS to SIN then onto LHR. It is the same ticket. SQ. The connection time is 50 minutes. I understand that is right on MCT for SQ. How are baggage transfers...

Hello AFF. I have a friend of a friend who needs to get home back to the UK. Of course they have left it to the last minute (long story). Ethiad recently canned them from its flights. Singapore, HKG, Taiwan appear out. Anyone with any ideas about the quickest way for them to get a flight (if it...

Do not fly QF much these days but have a stash of points. Just got an alert saying they are about to expire. Might usually grab a domestic flight to keep the active but that is not happening now. No credit cards or anything else linked to QF. I can't seem to see whether if I just buy 1000 points...

Hi there I am looking to book some SQ flights in J. Bestjet.com is offering three tickets. The SQ website is $1500 more for the same flights. I have read some pretty bad reports about Bestjet. There is a 2 hour connection in SQ (to a different airline which will be on separate itinerary) so...

Greetings Has anyone had much luck with the multi city booking tool on the SQ website? I am looking for a straight SYD-TYO booking with a stop back from TYO in SIN for a few days (where I plan to go off on a separate flight to BKK before returning for a few days in SIN). A simple SYD-TYO...

Hi All Does anyone have any recent experience with Korean Air J? I have spotted a great deal to North America in J around Xmas and wondering if anybody had any experience to share? The fare is about $4k which is great to the USA. Ex Sydney.

Hi all, I hope I can get some opinions to help make a call. I am looking to go from Syd to the Us (LAX ideally although any east coast stop will do). I looked at some fares in J and the cheapest seems to be United at about $6.5k. I love the SQ product so looked at fares out of Asia to the...

Hi all I am flying out from Barcelona to Syd. The flight leaves BCN at 9. I am in Madrid the day before and coming down to Barcelona. Because it’s an early departure getting out from the BCN city centre to the airport might be a pain. Have people stayed near BCN airport? I am flexible about...

Hi All. Perspectives - please. SYD to SIN. For a Y ticket, BA is coming up $700 cheaper than SQ and Emirates. About $350 cheaper than QF. It is not a long flight and although BA is not great for $350 the difference between QF and BA is too great for me to hang with QF. But i can pick up a J...

Hey All. I was hopeful that I could get some constructive input or alternative suggestions to deal with the situation below. FF Program: SQ Krisflyer. No Status. Enough points for return in J to Europe ex Syd. 100,000 odd points expiring in Jan. The challenge: To use the points balance for...

I have about 220k KF points. About 120k expire in Feb. I was saving them to go J to Europe or the US. I don't think I can go before expiry and space is limited on flights I saw even if I could. It seems the only way to extend them is to lose about 10%. Is that right? Any other way?

Hi there. I am a Hyatt explorist. A family member has rung me tonight in a panic trying to book the Hyatt Nusa Dua. They are having an awful time trying to pay and the hotel is saying they must pay through Duku. This isn't working. Has anybody tried to pay through this service before...

Last minute trip to Japan on the cards. Last minute as in leaving Friday. Flights are expensive for Japan but I can live with that. But hotels are a huge huge problem. I usually stay in the Hyatt chain and they are coming in at over $1000 a night. I looked at SPG and Marriott and not much...

Greetings fellow AFF members. I am hopeful for some guidance and tips on what I consider to be a dilemma. So we are planning a trip to the US (partner and our child). We are looking to fly into SFO and then go to MIA. Here is is the dilemma bit. I have enough SQ points to get me to SFO...

Hi All I am looking at flights between Syd and HNL and SFO. August/September. Ideally I would fly from Syd to SFO (or LAX to transit) and then fly home with a stop in Hawaii and then onto Sydney. I want to avoid the fly into the US, fly into Hawaii and then fly back to the US at all costs...

Good afternoon all. As always, I am keen to draw on the collective wisdom of our community. It seems that my workplace has decided to 'shut down' for the week of 4 January 2016 with the consequence I am being forced to take some annual leave. Not wanting to let the opportunity pass, I started...

Just did a dummy rewards booking on SQ. Looking to go from Syd into Europe so chose to fly into AMS. As I am looking to go soon I managed to find some flights (seems to be on the 777). But the surcharges came in at $1100. Is this about right? I have never redeemed with sq before.

Hi there I am thinking about heading to hkg soon and I have a bundle of Amex points which I would like to put towards an upgrade. I can go to either sq or cx'. Do people have an opinion of the ease of redeemability in either program? Also in order to zero in on my flight I am thinking of...
