Make sure to check the QFF's Oneworld Alliance's codes to make sure they will receive any SC & QFF Points! For the amount of miles per class of ticket...

Refund/Replacement with these types of items usually requires the bag to be shipped at the owner's cost - and can be a pretty penny depending on when/where its sent. Having a local distribution/repair centre can cut such costs - I would like to ideally get these types of bags repaired if...

I agree - but I also had the pleasure of trying while I was there. Good opportunity to try the Chelsea lounge that's usually reserved for AA and BA First Class only. The cost of Flagship First is significantly cheaper than the cash trans-Atlantic fare ;)

US OneWorld flights are still quite a bargain if ignoring any DSC events. But aside from a select few that have 'Flagship First' configuration with AA, nearly all 'First Class' cabins by US carriers are considered 'J-class' when awarding points with QF and other OW members. One example of where...

Update on research: Although the Rimowa hard case is nice, it will not be able to handle some of the abuse that is planned for the upcoming travel plans. However, compared to other major players with the new lifetime warranty under LVMH, it could be easier to service. ~$50 to pay to undo all the...

Rimowa dropped its customer service and repair warranty honouring post LVMH acquisition, so it was a bit iffy getting them. Then, the justification of buying luggage that is the price of a return ticket to Japan from Australia. It's a shame that the TravelPro (or LuggageWorks) route is only...

Did you transfer the Avios from BA to QR to do this redemption? Were you able to also book return tickets back? Excellent redemption overall!

Are there any lifetime warranty travel bags that are available here in Australia? RIMOWA and TUMI aren't really good options as they no longer have lifetime warranty on their bags.

Where are you guys buying your TravelPro Bags here in Australia?

Is it more of a value to get the price in USD or GBP atm for the subscriptions? I am assuming you need a US address for USD rates.

Try and take advantage of BA’s Double Tier points Holiday bookings. If you add flight + hotel or car for it and have at least a 5 day package (doesn’t have to be 5 days sequential, just within the booking) you earn double TP for your flights. Book by end of 2024 and travel’s been extended up to...

That's a monster of an itinerary if I've seen one! I thought the best way was to sleep on the plane to get the J-class rest and refresh with shower at the lounges 🤣

Just got the Qantas RED email for the NZ sale - a bit annoying that the price has dropped for OOL-AKL (1 stop MEL/SYD) by about $300 for J class (through Business Sale fares). Is this usually the 'premium' we have to expect to pay for when we do these kinds of options? Is there a better way to...

How many TP do you get for this kind of associated trip? I am assuming you can get BAEC Gold with that itinerary. 4k GBP is around 8k AUD which isn't bad for that many segments of travelling.

Is it worth getting the avios subscription even with the new subscription prices? Or have the BA and various Avios using OW partners tightened how Avios can be used?

Are you trading spot currency to get the AUD to USD conversion as a method of FX? If it is indeed on the lower cost post-commission and fees for that method, then it is certainly more attractive than Wise and Revolut. It seems that they draw you in with the ease of use and once you're in the...

Congrats on reaching OWE! A word of caution with Oneworld and its alliance members updating their respective statuses in the back end of the system. AA tends to update at the end of the month/first week of the new month - so if you have recently gotten to Platinum with Qantas, it might not...

It sounds like AA in a nutshell - thankfully, their refund process was more seamless after my complaint was raised officially in their forms, and they provided me with where to refund it. I had to write in the notes for them to please speak to Qantas as this is an OW Alliance problem. Also...

I know this is slightly off-topic, but those taking advantage of the DSC to move up status and fly with other Oneworld Alliance partners - be aware that it takes a while for it to reflect in the partner airline's system. A good example would be AA - they usually update at the end of the month...

Mainly aiming to retain status rather than gain status. So expect 4-8 weeks delay seems to be the 'Qantas norm'. Had a flight from LAX to PER thru Oneworld Partners where only 1 part of this trip so far has been awarded... so going to have to follow up later this week to get those extra points...
