  • Qantas returns to Santiago from October 31

    May 11, 2022, 05:12 PM

    LATAM already had that monopoly, I wish QF would reconsider and recommence flights from SYD or MEL on a Dreamlike straight to EZE / Buenos Aires instead of having to transit via SCL, otherwise Air New Zealand from AKL straight to EZE but they pulled out altogether

  • Malaysia ends testing for all international visitors

    May 07, 2022, 01:50 AM

    Given some of the comments posted here, I don't think people are aware that as of May 1, 2022 anyone who has had at least double vax is no longer required to stay at a SHA+ hotel, there is no PCR or rapid antigen test or quarantine required, all they need is a minimum USD 10.000 medical insurance...

  • How to get a gold status match with Qantas, Air New Zealand

    Apr 21, 2021, 03:33 PM

    I applied for the Air NZ Airpoints gold status match and it was the easiest process ever and it was granted overnight with the nicest personalised welcome letter so I am really impressed.

  • The best business class airport lounge dining rooms

    Jul 17, 2019, 04:40 PM

    The Cathay Pacific lounge at Mel airport is tiny, there's never any seating as it is always full and the food offering is basic. The relatively new CX lounge at BKK airport offers the same boring food time and again and is always almost to capacity as all eligible Oneworld frequent flyers get to ...

    Jul 03, 2019, 03:24 PM

    Does it look and feel more comfortable and luxurious than the QF offering for the same class or is it my impression?

  • New normal?

    Apr 13, 2020, 05:07 PM

    I work both as a conference interpreter and in fashion, the former would get me to travel across the world, on UN assignments they would fly us business class so it was easy to retain Platinum on QF and Oneworld carriers and enjoy the extra perks as first class lounges, some upgrades, excess lugg...

  • Is Sydney to London - via Beijing - a good option?

    Apr 24, 2019, 04:45 PM

    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. Beijin...
