Getting all the business class perks (except for the seat on the plane itself obviously) when travelling economy. Lounge, priority boarding, priority check-in, priority luggage, better seat selection (on most airlines anyway - looking at you MH!) etc. For daytime flights, it enables me to save...

Yes - points are credited on shipping.

Wine is always the answer!

Points buyers should note the Blue Pyrenees mixed packs are back. https://wine.qantas.com/p/mixed-blue-pyrenees-premium-red-six/MIX2503027 24450 points for $450 at 1.84cpp (25215 points for $405 at 1.61cpp for PCP).

Try using Kayak or Skyscanner. EDI-LHR-MAD-PMI (filtering Oneworld only, and 2+ stops) yields the best results. e.g. out 7/10, back 14/10 is 340 quid bookable through Expedia UK.

I’ve been playing around with these and the best bet with UK-Spain status runs is to start in secondary UK ports and head to airports in Spain where there is a non-stop LCC connection, connecting in London and Madrid on the way. Ex-Spain, prices can be high. Something like...

$120/800 points, $25/250 points for freezer products and a handful of 10x points. Nope... Aldi and the market beckon.

Oz launch fares are up. MEL-KUL-BAH-LGW starts from $389 PER-KUL-BAH-LGW starts from $309 Best I could see was $953 return sans add-ons. ~26 hours over, 33 hours back. Breathe in and pocket the savings? I probably wouldn't but each to their own.

Nah - not until the end of October, so happy to wait a week or two. Now (ironically) don't need the SCs, but will take them anyway. Helps get that smidgen closer to LTS and then on to LTG...

Fifth leaf showed up today (after my final Resmart pickup on 8 Jan) so about 5 weeks. No sign of the option to select a bonus yet though.

I'm not sure this is an IT glitch but... uhhhh... this seems a little bit exxy for a Classic Reward...

You'd probably need to look at UA (maybe AC too).

It was a couple of years ago, but I just gave details of the two sectors: Can you please book me: 1. CPH-DOH on QRxx_ in business on xx_ date at this time and 2. DOH-MEL on QRyyy in business on yyy date at that time. They were able to pop both sectors onto the one ticket and have it price...

No SQC earn on most airlines that are not *A. Exceptions are when the flights are ticketed/issued by Air Canada (014 ticket stock) and operated by Air Dolomiti, Eurowings, Discover Airlines, and Lufthansa City, Olympic Air, and Virgin Australia (for Domestic Australia flights only).

Should do. Lounge will be the Platinum lounge, rather than Al Mourjan. https://www.qatarairways.com/tradeportal/en-au/ancillaryservices/Preferred-Seat-Purchase.html

Yes, limit started this year.

With all the airplane argy-bargy, not sure why you'd bother when QR offers $3.2k fares to MXP with a decent haul of QFF points and SCs out of KUL. (Sample dates 7/5-28/5) (Only 'lite' fares for that price, mind you, but for $3.6k you can be on a classic fare, or WY or CX.)

Another possible advantage of placing an order over the phone. My order is being delivered by AusPost after I had a grizzle about Aramex. I don't know whether this would have happened otherwise (it may well have anyway of course).

Thanks for the update. I'll wait until the end of the month, after which I'll be in the same boat (screenshot is now ready to go).

CX still through checks bags on separate OW tickets AFAIK. https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_AU/faqs/check-in/through-check-to-final-destination-on-separate-tickets/will-my-baggage-and-i-get-through-checked-to-the-final-destination-if-my-itinerary-includes-connecting-flights.html
