Landing into Tom Bradley International Terminal from our Qantas flight (~8am) passing through customs and immigration, then walking down to terminal...

    Transiting through LAX On Separate Tickets

    What is the Alaska Airlines/Qantas relationship like these days? Initially I was leaning to flying with Alaska between Mexico and LAX (if I don't take the overnight at LAX hotel option). Alaska is due into LAX at 3:50pm American Airlines is due into LAX at 4:40pm. Then the 'connecting' Qantas...

    Rental codes/coupons?

    Hello, I have come across a HERTZ CDP code through one of the numerous websites that list discount coupon vouchers/deals etc. Once applied to the Hertz booking online form, this particular CDP code shows up as being linked to "SOS DISCOUNTS". My ignorant question is: can this (or other) CDP...

    Potential missed connection with an upcoming international rewards flight?

    Last selfish request from me on this matter; Hypothetically speaking, if I were to change my flights out of Australia to QF93 I would then have the option of connecting to QF11 to JFK or a United flight to EWR. Both of those connecting flights are on B787 aircraft, although QF11 is much more...

    Can Qantas get extra AA awards when a Qantas change breaks the connection?

    Brian, I assume this change of flight is due to the QF55 flights being replaced by the BNE-ORD flights (QF85) commencing in April 2020? If so, could you request (and would you be willing) to see if you can fly to Chicago, depending on availability, and catch a connecting flight to Orlando from...
