    Understanding overweight/additional baggage

    Do you have any tips on where I might find that info? Air France seems to indicate they'll just overcharge based on the screenshot above. But I'm struggling to figure out Malaysia Air's policy for Economy. There is a page here that goes into a bunch of detail, but I'm finding it confusing with...

    Understanding overweight/additional baggage

    It seems like for Air France I will just have to cop it at the airport? And for Malaysia Air, I'm not totally clear if their "more baggage" option is for an additional bag that weights X kg, or if it adds X kg to one of your existing bags. I found it ambiguous and couldn't find any material...

    Understanding overweight/additional baggage

    Thanks for that info, hearing that reminded me that Malaysia Air actually says on my booking pages who that is: Every airline is the most significant carrier on their leg it seems on PNRs 1 and 4. And PNRs 2 and 3 only have one airline, so I would assume they are too. So unfortunately that...

    Understanding overweight/additional baggage

    Hello everyone, I am going on a eurotrip that has involved me stringing together a combination of QF classic flight rewards and paid tickets over multiple PNRs. I'm QF bronze with points club. Because of some of the activities I'm participating in, I need to pack pretty heavy, and I'm trying...

    Subtleties of booking a complex reward route

    Maybe I'll call Qantas to get some hopeful clarity on through-check through KL with my specific flights, because I need to decide if I book the hotel inside the airport, or the one next to it. I wonder if I had to collect my bags if I could leave the international area and go through...

    Subtleties of booking a complex reward route

    Yeah sad that I couldn't get anything better! Also do you mean Malaysia, not the UAE? I'm only transiting in Dubai airport for 75 minutes, and they're both Emirates flights, so they better be sending my bags through!

    Subtleties of booking a complex reward route

    I've managed to book my return. My layover in KL on the way back is 24 hours and 15 minutes, so I'd prefer to remain in the airport. Will I still be able to check my bags all the way through from Paris to Perth, given the layover exceeds a day? The text here is a bit ambiguous as to if an...

    Subtleties of booking a complex reward route

    Ok great! Do I need to be worried? 😬 I'll probably stay at the airport hotel as it seems quite nice.

    Subtleties of booking a complex reward route

    I was originally intending to just layover (only 12 hour gap, arriving 9pm 11th May), but some other lucky travellers snapped up the exact First ticket I was looking at for 10am 12th May as I was submitting my booking! Instead I had to book one departing 10am 14th May instead. So I’ll be...

    Subtleties of booking a complex reward route

    Thank you for taking the time to explain this in such detail! I will book the Perth to Europe journey in one transaction on the multi-city booking interface to get these advantages, and I will continue hunting for the Europe to Perth journey to book in a seperate transaction.

    Subtleties of booking a complex reward route

    I did some more googling, and maybe what I am thinking about is a single PNR for all three flights? Is that possible? How do it achieve this? https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/airline-terminology-pnr/ Maybe right now the booking would be two PNRs?

    Subtleties of booking a complex reward route

    Thanks for your reply! In response to this, I guess in some sense in the Qantas interface, the PER-KUL part is considered a "flight" (composed of one segment), and the KUL-FCO section is considered another "flight" (composed of two segments, KUL-DXB, DXB-FCO). I don't know if that makes a...

    Subtleties of booking a complex reward route

    I've been a Qantas Frequent Flyer for a fair few years now, gaining points from credit card offers, and now I'm looking to spend them to get a round-trip Perth-Europe business+ class flight. I've been diving into using things like Awards Nexus and KVS to locate the flights, and at least on the...
