    Qantas adds Brisbane-Manila but suspends Sydney-Shanghai flights

    I suspect that the article cited above is a bit optimistic in expecting the international 332 config (27J/224Y) on this route; QF19/20 lately has been getting a lot of the domestic 332 a/c (28J/243Y) which IMHO is pretty poor.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Checking in online yesterday for my latest SQ flights, I got almost to the end and was confronted with a stern warning to the effect that the name on the booking did not match the name on my KF a/c and if I proceeded I would receive no credit for the flights! Needless to say, this was BS..the...

    SQ schedule increases to Australia

    Sadly, it appears that SQ248 MEL-SIN 0700 is being discontinued...it is not showing up for bookings in late April. It was actually quite useful in spite of the early departure time...good for connections to Asian destinations.

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    I flew into MNL yesterday March 2 about 1615 (on CX919) and was surprised to notice VH-QPC sitting at what appeared to be a maintenance facility. Looking at flightaware, it was apparently the previous days QF19/20, which finally departed 27 hours late on Saturday night, Ouch!!

    All AU Diners Club personal cards will be cancelled in January 2024

    Still no sign of any change at all for me; no emails, nothing unusual showing on my account page on the DC website. Maybe I have slipped under the radar! Oops, looks like I spoke too soon: have just received this via e-mail: Dear W...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Re the A350 seats: agree totally...these seats are indeed the only ones really worth having on these a/c (was in 11A/K for all of my most recent trip). Pity about the rest of the cabin; hope I can manage to renew my PPS this year...

    SQ's ops at MEL need a serious overhaul!

    J of course...good to hear that things should be OK. Happily they have extended my PPS and I have been able to reserve my seat 11A :):):)

    SQ's ops at MEL need a serious overhaul!

    What is the state of things at MEL these days? After nearly 4 years I have finally found some fares/schedules/availability which make reasonable sense for my next trip and am flying SQ for it next month. As my departure time is 0700 (restarted SQ248) I would rather not front up to checkin any...

    Melbourne to Tokyo via Sydney Question

    Unlike a lot of the posters here I suspect, I have actually DONE similar to this 5 times so far this year; most recently (Oct 11) I got from T3 to T1 airside in 25 mins (around 1100), which is fairly typical (may take longer if security at T1 is busy). Your itinerary looks OK to me.

    Short paid Amex by a few cents. Will Amex charge late fee and interest on full balance if paid the following day?

    I vaguely recall that in the past Amex had a policy that if your a/c was underpaid by a small amount (less than $5 IIRC?) it was considered fully paid; this was apparently to allow for unexpected fees and charges. This was explicitly stated somewhere, but I am unsure whether it is still in effect.
