  • Qantas’ Sydney to Santiago flights make triumphant return

    Feb 25, 2023, 07:22 PM

    The local currency has no incidence or relevance as all fares, airport facilities and fuel are traded and charged in USD, not the local currency, and although Argentina has different rates of exchange for the US dollar that would still have no impact at all for QF as all payments would be made in...

    Exactly, plus they don't make it easy when transiting via SCL with Latam no longer part of Oneworld they might not recognise the luggage checked through to EZE or Buenos Aires and frequent flyers do not earn points nor do they get any benefits like access to the lounge to kill the long transit ho...

    No need to trouble yourself with worrying about carriers as you could do QF out of Sydney then Finnair AY out of Beijing to Europe via Helsinki but must make sure you choose well and that you are on their Airbus A350 or A359 sorry I can't remember but one is set much nicer aircraft to fly.
