Cathay Pacific struggles to attract top-end of market
Aug 17, 2017, 09:34 AMA few years ago, CX's business class seat and service was one of, if not the best, offering for long haul international travel - and my favourite. However, since then competition from other airlines have ramped up and CX has not kept up with its overall offering (whilst trying to maintain its pre...

How to fly around the world using Qantas frequent flyer points
Apr 12, 2017, 10:25 AMI am a lifetime Gold QFF member and now have more than 1m QFF points in my acccount. I have found it very difficult in the past to redeem the points for J or F flights during the period I usually travel for leisure (Dec / Jan). So I tend to use the points now (when possible) for upgrades on QF wh...

The best seats in business class aboard Thai Airways' Boeing 747s
Jul 29, 2016, 12:09 PMHave been avoiding Thai on J trips to Europe due their substandard non-flat bed seats between SYD to BKK. They have obviously decided to not use a better plane on this sector due to lack of competition on the route (QF's offering is also poor on this route). Real pity - as their onboard serivce i...

Thai Airways brings Boeing 787 onto Brisbane-Bangkok route
Aug 21, 2015, 12:39 PMI don't understand why TG is still using the old 747s on the SYD to BKK route. I would not use them for my European trips until they have business class flat beds on this route.

minimum time to retag bags at SIN for connecting flight?
Sep 09, 2016, 12:21 PMI have the same flight SQ/AF in J class to CDG and found that the connection time was tight (even at SIN). I got to the AF flight but my luggage did not. I had to file a report at CDG (in long queue with others) and only received my bags ca. 3 days later (for whatever reasons from SIN they sent t...

Aug 07, 2015, 07:24 PMHave travelled to CDG on SQ (A380), CX (A330/777W) and TG (747/A380) on J and found CX to be the best overall plus chance for stopover in HKG. SQ is better from food, service and entertainment but falls behind CX in terms of seat, lounges and amenity kits. Have flown on EH to London but not on th...

So you clock Qantas Lifetime Gold, do you keep going for Platinum in QFF or d...
Mar 30, 2015, 12:57 PMInteresting topic / question. I also have the same dilemma (i.e. already achieved QF LG and not sure about my ability to maintain platinum with QF in future years). I travel more to Asia and Europe. My current thoughts are to utilise CX more often (Asia/Europe) or try Qatar to Europe (even though...
