    Asia Miles Jan25 award availability

    When I say "block", it more means that Cathay is not releasing any rewards seats during that period, and as per Levelnine mentioned, Jan is usually peak season for inbound flights to Australia, and Feb is Chinese NY. If you do a search from 18th of Feb onwards inbound flights, you will find lots...

    Asia Miles Jan25 award availability

    Cathay has blocked HKG - Australia/NZ route for all of reward seats in all cabin from Jan 2025 to late Feb 2025. I was only able to get PE from HKG-CHC-SYD when Cathay announced seasonal flight, but even that route has shown nil availability now.

    Can I earn reward points on an ANZ rewards black card paying bills?

    ANZ system is quite smart, I used paypal to pay for government bodies, and it didn't give me any points, and ANZ also doesn't give points for any state, federal relevant organisations and the range is quite board.

    China announces visa-free travel for Australians visiting up to 30 days (previously 15 days)

    Let's do a simple comparison here between China Eastern and Qantas, these are only 2 airlines provide the direct service to Shanghai: Low cost base: what type of cost base, I presume the type of aircraft is a major one, here is fact: China Eastern A350 vs Qantas A332/333, China Eastern uses...

    ANZ black retention offers

    Despite the annual card fee is waived, I would not consider this card at all, with rewards fee is being charged per card not the account, it’s just outrageous.

    Changes to CBA Travel Insurance Activation

    I initially thought the Westpac credit card insurance will be activated if total of $500 is prepaid before the travel without looking details, but how wrong I was. I've found the complimentary travel insurance that's attached to the credit card in the past few years has gone downwards a lot.

    Qantas adds Brisbane-Manila but suspends Sydney-Shanghai flights

    MU has added the 2nd daily flight from Syd-Pvg, same as Mel-Pvg, 2 twice a day now. They used to be the seasonal flight, so I doubt the reason that QF gave due to low demand.

    Qantas adds Brisbane-Manila but suspends Sydney-Shanghai flights

    More surprised to me is they are dealing case by case, if the booking is out if peak season and travel alone, then most likely QF will rebook immediately. But if the date is in Dec, and for more than 1 person, like my case, then I guess QF won’t budge.

    Qantas adds Brisbane-Manila but suspends Sydney-Shanghai flights

    I just tried another time with customer service and you will be surprised to hear how inconsistent that customer service staffs deal with this cancellation issue. Got told I had to wait for another week for Qantas sending me further update regarding re-route. Can’t do anything right now, can’t...

    Qantas adds Brisbane-Manila but suspends Sydney-Shanghai flights

    Thanks for that. I guess it’s the person I talked to make change impossible because he clearly told me sine my booking was made classic rewards, there is no way Qantas will pay commercial fare for me to rebook. Only available if there is any reward seat is released by its partner airline.

    Qantas adds Brisbane-Manila but suspends Sydney-Shanghai flights

    Good on you. I guess it's because there are 3 person being booked in my ticket, if it's one, then thing becomes much easier. I also suspect it doesn't allow me to make change via online straight way when I use the recovery link above.

    Qantas adds Brisbane-Manila but suspends Sydney-Shanghai flights

    The last sentence has covered. Change or refund is the only option, apparently they can make the "change" become impossible and leave you without any choice. For customers on Qantas Frequent Flyer Classic Reward Tickets: Qantas Classic Flight Reward tickets cannot be retained in credit. They...
