Had the pleasure of flying China Eastern (MU) for the first time in their J product from SYD to CDG via PVG. Check-in in SYD was easy and I was given lounge invitations for the QF Business Lounge but was told I could use the SkyTeam Lounge if I wanted after I asked. Decided to go to the SkyTeam...

Malaysia Airlines announced yesterday that they've ordered an additional 30 737-Max aircraft to replace the remaining 737-800s in their fleet. It will be 18 737-8s and 12 737@10s. They've also said that they'll install lie-flat seats on the 737-10s, which is great news!

Couldn't really find the answer, hence why I'm asking. I will be flying on China Eastern Airlines SYD-PVG-CDG (and return) all on one ticket next month. Will boarding passes be issued for the PVG-CDG flight in SYD? I've read stories of the 2nd boarding pass not being issued (not always the case)...

Is anybody else having difficulty transferring Velocity points to KrisFlyer miles? I can't seem to find the link anywhere! Has it been disabled or suspended??

Just needed to vent my frustration with the KF contact centre and wondering whether anyone else has faced similar issues... Recently took some Air India flights in paid business class from MXP to DEL and then DEL to SYD. My KF number was in the booking and on the boarding passes. 3 days after...

Just saw article on Executive Traveller that SQ is closing their SYD lounge from Aug 10 for a refurbishment. Should re-open at end of the month or early next month and all eligible pax are bring redirected to the NZ Lounge. What happens to VA status holders in this situation? I'm assuming VA...

Rumours are going around that MH is seriously looking at the A320neo and A321XLR following another set of delays on the deliveries of their 737-8 and further issues with the 737-10. I think it would be a good move in the long-term. The A321XLR would work well for them.

Will there be any issues transiting in Singapore if arriving on QF and then connecting to JQ on separate tickets but with no checked luggage (which means I can online check-in for the JQ flight)? I recall there being some problems with this during Covid.

Does a points upgrade waitlist take priority over an upgrade bid or is it the other way around? Also, when would a points upgrade waitlist clear? Does fare class and status make a difference?

Has anyone else experienced this? I find VA usually very reliable with the posting of points and SCs but lately I've had problems with points and SCs posting after successful upgrade bid flights. Flights usually post within 2 days and, if it doesn't, it usually means it won't. I find it very...

Not a trip report in the true sense but just sharing my experience on an airline not many people have flown. Part 1: I recently had the opportunity and pleasure of flying Vietnam Airlines (VN) in their business class for the first time a month ago. I actually did 2 trips - 1 to Paris via SGN...

I understand that I have to ring up the GCC to activate the companion gold once I qualify. My question is this... will the companion gold year be the same as mine then? And will my partner only need to earn 400 SCs to requalify or earn the initial 600 to retain?

Just got an email about the new Jetstar app (Jetstar Trips) and that it's going to replace the current one in a few months. Here's hoping the new one works better! I've always had trouble checking in successfully and having access to the mobile boarding pass.

JQ cancelled one of my flights and it's about 8 weeks since then but still no refund. Any experiences as to how long refunds are taking these days?

Does anyone know what's happening to JQ's flights from SYD to HKT? Looks like they have cancelled a fair bulk of their flights and appear to be running only 1 or 2 weekly direct flights. All the Saturday flights except for 1 in August have been cancelled. I've been affected by this change, which...

https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/transport/malaysia-airlines-nearing-decision-on-replacing-21-a330s-ceo Good to see that MH are starting their long-haul fleet renewal plans. They're looking to replace the 15 A330-300s and 6 A330-200s on a 1 for 1 basis. They are considering the A350, A330neo...

I very recently had to cancel a JQ flight that I had with a Max Bundle. The voucher came through but it was only for the value of the Max Bundle. I'm still waiting for the credit voucher for the base fare. I remember it all coming back in one amount previously. Have they separated the voucher...

The VA website and app are doing some very strange things whilst I've been trying to book flights today. Flights either not loading at all or just only some flights or only morning or afternoon flights. It's starting to be quite annoying...

Has anyone else had trouble booking the Velocity Amex free flight? There were issues earlier this year where the portal wasn't working. This time, no flights are loading at all. I've tried different destinations and different dates...nothing is showing. I wonder whether this has something to do...

Sorry if this has been asked before but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere: Are domestic passengers allowed to transit through an airport in a city or state that is in lockdown? Sometimes there are no direct flights from point A to point B and one may have to transit through an airport...
