Where's this from?

Has anyone tried buying more than 2 variable cards?

Still no sign of mine

This is not correct: In fact, to get AAdvantage status, you don’t even really need to fly with American Airlines at all. You could theoretically get AAdvantage Platinum status (Oneworld Sapphire) by transferring 337,500 Amex Membership Rewards points to Marriott Bonvoy (at a 3:2 rate) and then...

Given the government (admittedly, the previous one) was happy for Virgin to collapse into nothing, I think it'd be a bit rich to now get all high and mighty about a foreign owner.

I wonder when they'll update the schedules to reflect this

I don’t understand why it’s taking so long for these planes to enter service and start operating flights

It's pretty simple - make more classic award seats available on routes that people actually want award seats on

Qantas has previously (a long time ago) included DSC for QF marketed flights on EK but I don’t think it’s ever included AA. And as far as I can recall there has never been DSC on JQ.

Fare buckets for sale and empty business class seat maps* * Yes, seat maps don't tell the full story as not all passengers get a seating allocation at the time of booking. But a 787 flight departing in a week with J9 C9 D9 I9 and only a handful of seats allocated in the J cabin is a fair...

I've been emailing Amex Travel all week and they haven't replied

As long as Optus isn't running the teleport

On another issue... Oneworld Emeralds used to be able to select seats in the F cabin on 777 aircraft that sold F as J. Sadly this recently stopped (or at least it has for QFFs with Emerald status). Now it's only Cathay Diamonds that can preallocate to the F cabin.

Final nail in the coffin for me. Will be shifting after this. Vodafone looking quite appealing now with their new inflight roaming inclusions

Number of points isn't a factor
