Hi all, Wondering if anyone has properly looked into flying the original 1947 Qantas "Kangaroo Route". This is, according to the internet, Sydney to London with stops in Darwin, Singapore, Calcutta, Karachi, Cairo, and Tripoli. I started trying to price it but sites like google flights and...

It has just been revealed that huge cuts will be coming to the partnership between Alaska Airlines and American Airlines as of March 1, 2020. Looks like AA is in breakup mode with everyone, first LATAM now Alaska Airlines. https://onemileatatime.com/american-alaska-partnership-cuts/

I've been looking at which QF flights earn the most SC from the East Coast to UK/Europe. Connecting via Perth seems to be the winner. Came across a quirk with SYD-SIN-LHR, this earns 5 less SC in Business if you use QF81+ QF1 and not QF1 all the way. In all other classes the earn rates seem to...

Indonesian LCC Citilink will launch flights from Perth to Bali from 28 October 2019 using an A320. Shame about the timings on the return (leaving DPS at 1.10am and arriving at 4.50am). https://www.airlineratings.com/news/citylink-take-perth-bali-route/

I tried to work out how much VFF points and SC i will earn on flight DL27 ATL-ICN (on Delta metal), using the mileage calculator on VFF website. However ICN is not in the destination list (while NRT is). I hope this is just because the list is outdated, and I would still earn SC on this trip...

Has there ever been a wiki / comparison of the differences between the 737/787/A330 for MEL - PER? I've seen some posts in relation to J but not Y. Anyone has any preferences? Are the meals on QF9/10 the same as the other domestic ops? Travelling with a toddler, how reliable are the ipads as IFE...

So Iran shot off a surface to air missile into busy commercial airspace over the Persian gulf. Given the MH17 case, this is obviously a concern if it continues. The FAA has now made set some airspace restrictions, applicable only to US carriers, but you can see others following suit: US...

United has announced that it will fly to Cape Town, South Africa from Newark. EWR-CPT flights will be seasonal and 3x weekly starting on 15/12/19. I didn't see this route coming. Interesting to see a non-stop service to the USA out of Cape Town. Hopefully there will be some decent award...
