    Spoilt for choices, confusion reigns!

    I would just go with Emirates One stop both ways. Very easy to book an open jaw itinerary at no extra cost. We do this pretty much every time to Europe, Fly in to one city, fly home from another (usually Zurich)

    A new low in the lounge

    I'm disappointed! Came into this thread expecting a quality rant about thongs, tattoos, feet on seats and people watching iPads without headphones. Only to read about a margarine shortage.

    Dubai Flood on QF Tickets - anyone else having difficulty getting reimbursed?

    When they said: "told me that hotel accommodation up to $200 per night would be covered and that I should book it myself and keep the receipts for hotels and meals and lodge a claim for reimbursement when I got back to Australia." Did they say who would be doing the reimbursing? Ie: The...

    Tokyo & Osaka Hotel club lounge with Champagne?

    Really depends what a traveller is after. If it's just a place to crash for as cheap as possible, then yes of course there are cheaper accomodation options in Tokyo. They could then buy a bottle of champers at BIC Camera and have it in the room. But others are seeking the "experiential"...

    Why not book each leg on separate PNR?

    There are many scenarios where separate PNR's are the way to go: 1. Simple return flight on reward points. Secure the outbound reward seat as soon as it's available. Book the return leg later when it becomes available. If you wait until you can get both on the same booking, you run the risk...

    Tokyo & Osaka Hotel club lounge with Champagne?

    The other one that comes to mind is the Imperial Lounge bar at the historic Imperial Hotel. Stayed there on a work trip pre covid, and had drinks with Japanese colleagues here. Lovely spot. https://www.timeout.com/tokyo/bars-and-pubs/imperial-lounge-aqua...

    Tokyo & Osaka Hotel club lounge with Champagne?

    Another option is to select a hotel that has a really wonderful and atmospheric bar, and Tokyo has that in spades. These are often in elevated positions and are wonderful for people watching or enjoying the views of the city below The Palace Hotel or the Conrad are a couple of nice ones...

    Seat poacher

    They are just locating the position of the row number markings, so they know where to look. Good idea. People do the same thing when entering cinemas, sports stadiums etc

    Booking 2x Emirates First Seats via Classic Rewards

    Book outbound and inbound separately. Outbound as soon as available, travelling midweek and outside school holidays. Then when the return flight is available, try the same thing.

    Hello, I am a final year BSc student at The University of West London (UK) completing my final year dissertation on the Qantas Frequent Flyer program.

    Would have been nice for the OP to at least followup with a thank you post.

    Qantas Schedule more Evening Departures to North America

    To be fair, NYC is best case. A lot of other east coast destinations (Miami, Orlando, Charlotte, DC, etc) will need a 3rd flight using the routing via Japan. That would add a few more hours. Edit: Miami blows out to 38 hours Whereas from Dallas, you're looking at a lot more 1 stop options.
