Qantas has brought forward the planned restart of its SYD-LAX and SYD-LHR flights from 18 December to 14 November, subject to NSW allowing international travel from this date (this is not yet confirmed). Every seat on these flights is now available as a Classic Flight Reward for the first week...

Hello, I'm planning to travel to Canada sometime in 2022 once the international borders reopen. Presently, I've got a J award booking with Aeroplan to bring me back there but thanks to you know what, the flight schedules keep changing and my rebooking options seem somewhat limited (either push...

Just thought I would post this in case anyone is interested/looking. Air New Zealand has released lots of award seats in Y & J on its Boeing 787 services between Perth and Auckland. At 12,500 KrisFlyer miles in Y or 31,000 KrisFlyer miles in J, it's potentially a good use of SQ miles (or points...

I've been lucky enough to secure approval to travel for my business to LHR. I'm looking at Booking a J award to Europe with Emirates during May 2021 Any thoughts on probability of me getting bumped if I'm using a classic QF reward rather than paying for the ticket?

Was skimming around looking at where QF have currently deployed their A330s domestically, because if I'm going to shell out some avios to take the family away it's going to be in J on a decent plane. Found QF702 running daily from MEL-CNS on an A330: perfect! Trouble is, there doesn't seem to...

I've just noticed that the United website is showing some (limited) partner award availability on Air New Zealand's flights between BNE/SYD and Norfolk Island (NLK). I've just checked for availability in May/June but there may be other dates also. E.g. NLK-SYD award availability in June...

I'm trying to book Classic award flights using my Qantas Frequent Flyer points on a flight to Europe on Qatar Airways (via Doha) - for about 11 months time. But I can't see using the Qantas website, multi-city booking system, any Classic award flights on Qatar flights ex Australia. For example...

Singapore Airlines has reportedly removed award inventory from all partner airlines until at least 1 September 2020. So it's not currently possible to book any SQ award flights using United miles, Alaska miles, LifeMiles, etc. (Velocity redemptions on all partners remain unavailable anyway.) SQ...

I haven't come across this before... On the Qantas website, it seems you can now book JL codeshare flights operated by Korean Air? At least, that's being offered when I search for flights from ICN-HEL... Who would've thought you could use Qantas points to fly on a Korean Air aircraft!

I'm trying use my Qantas points get two, one-way business seats with Qatar from LHR-BNE. The QF site only shows one available each day whereas BA and AA both show two. I called Qantas Premium to try and see if they can see different but they see the same as me. My question is: is it normal for...

Hi all, Is it just me or has JAL changed their website? It has been a few months since I tried, but I now cannot for the life of me see where I can search for oneworld availability. I am logged into the JAL mileage bank as I used to do but cant find where I can searchonworld award flights. Can...

Is there ever QF61 QF62 Award Availability? Seems like those flights never appear in an awards search on Qantas,

Apologies if this has been answered previously - I'm FF Gold (soon to be Platinum) and looking to travel SYD - SFO in May in Premium Economy with the view to do a points upgrade to J. Just wondering if I have a better chance of an upgrade in booking a Premium Economy cash fare vs Premium...

So as part of our honeymoon I have been looking at standard award availability for rooms across a number of cities including London, Paris, Edinburgh, Helsinki across a number of dates later in the year I am Hilton Honors Gold and have had about a 50% success rate in finding the hotels we want...

I spent quite a few hours over the last few days/evenings making bookings for an upcoming family trip to NZ. In true AFF form, I was looking to maximise FF program points/miles in both earn and burn ends of the spectrum, while minimising the $$$ cost. The challenge was to get three of us from...

I'm looking at visiting NYC early-mid next year. I have Velocity Platinum and just over 400,000 points. What's the best way to get a business seat? I was looking at purchasing Freedom fares (around $2800 return) and then using 90,000 points to upgrade (return) from Economy to Business. I've read...
