    Aeroplan ticketing issue J -> whY?

    @MEL_Traveller thank you so much for your suggestions! You mentioned that there are issues with fare classes not matching on aeroplan, and that was indeed the case here. I e-mailed Oman Air's Sydney office and they got back to me within 24 hours with a PNR to allow me to check on Oman Air's...

    Aeroplan ticketing issue J -> whY?

    Thanks - I reached out to Oman Air's Sydney office yesterday and left a message but given it's the holidays it might take them a few days to get back to me. I'm unable to log into Oman Air's website as it won't recognize the Aeroplan PNR and there's no separate PNR on the form for Oman Air.

    Adelaide No More QSuites from December?

    And hopefully that will remain the case! 🤞 But mine was QSuite all the way back in August until 5 days before I was due to fly...

    Aeroplan ticketing issue J -> whY?

    Hi all, I've a little bit of a conundrum that's arisen from a recent aeroplan booking. I booked FCO -> PER with an extended stopover in Muscat. When I booked it indicated that every segment (FCO - MCT, MCT - DOH, DOH - PER) was in J. The first two legs are with WY and the last leg to PER...

    Airport Donation Boxes

    I've accumulated quite a bit of small change at this stage from various trips post-COVID. It's not really worth it to exchange them and I remember in the pre-COVID days it was usually easy to either slip them into an envelope on your airline for donation to their chosen charity or drop it off...

    Adelaide No More QSuites from December?

    Data point: I made an Avios booking with QSuites from DOH to ADL in August for 28th December that that has now been swapped out for a non-QSuite plane. As I have to be back at work on 30th December I could not take advantage of their offer to rebook on a QSuite flight on 29th December. It's...

    Book the Cook

    Has anyone noticed if there's been a scaling back of Book the Cook options for passengers in J? When I flew SQ SIN - LHR last year in J I had for breakfast the fantastic Singapore roti prata but it now seems from perusing my BTC options for my upcoming flight and then investigating on the main...

    Booking AF MRU - CDG using QFF

    Thanks adenda - it does search the route in this way, but it's clunky. Most of the time it works but on other occasions the multi-flight tool has a hissy fit and insists on bringing me back to the flight selection page for flight 1 and not allowing me to progress onto flight 2. And then...

    Booking AF MRU - CDG using QFF

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has any idea on how to search for AF award availability from MRU - CDG to book a Qantas rewards ticket? In the other direction CDG - MRU has some OK availability on AF that you can search for: in the next year there are 94 days with Y and 18 days with J...

    Are you a yay or nay to Avios subscriptions

    You're not the only one @goldenhorn who's got remorse about cancelling a grandfathered rate sub. After successfully obtaining an AMEX at the end of last year (after having previously being knocked back) I made the mistake of cancelling mine in April, confident that my spend with AMEX would be...

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Just tried my luck - my annual fee posted end September. Asked whether fee was refundable (yes, until end October) and then said I wished to cancel due to 1) devaluation of MR points and 2) loss of Amazon benefit. Amex staff was in complete agreement with me that the card had taken a...

    Seats.aero - a useful tool for finding Qantas & Velocity reward availability

    Just a data point for anyone who's sitting on the fence about a seats.aero sub: I want to report a recent success using seats.aero to book a non-flexi QR redemption in J over Christmas 2025 from DUB to ADL. I am a big fan of Privilege Club given the great availability and low points cost out...

    34 airlines can you book with Avios (and 36 airlines you can earn on)

    Very interesting... Redeeming via China Southern could have great potential as a real under the radar way of getting to Europe from Australia, especially from Adelaide which has fewer international options than the other major capitals. I've just had a look at their seasonal flights from ADL...
