  • Delta SkyTeam 2024 status match for Qantas, Virgin Australia

    Feb 02, 2024, 12:25 PM

    The requirement for applicants outside of USA to (a) have flown Delta in the last 3 years (b) as SkyMiles member (c) on fare higher than basic economy is a deal breaker to me.

  • Malaysia moves to compulsory digital arrivals card

    Jan 20, 2024, 10:52 PM

    I am confused here.So for Australian passport holder who has never used the egate before, we need to (a) go through manual processing at the staffed immigration counter, THEN go to the special counter for registration (like in Hong Kong)? So the process of registering your fingerprint happen...

  • Qantas Lifetime Platinum Frequent Flyer: is it worth it? [2024]

    Dec 28, 2023, 12:50 PM

    Assuming that those who have gotten used to Platinum benefits will most likely try to maintain Platinum, the question then is whether to keep crediting SCs to Qantas (once LTG is attained) or other airlines. It is a no brainer: assuming comparable earning rate, with additional 35K, one can get Li...

  • Ranked & rated: Qantas’ best and worst business class seats

  • Review: Qantas Finnair A330 business class, Sydney-Singapore

    Dec 03, 2023, 09:19 PM

    I flew Finnair new business class 4 times already, and have always liked it. I guess it depends on the kind of person you are. I am the 'restless' type, so I cannot stay in one position for too long. Those traditional business class seats with recliners mean needing to frequently tinker about tho...

  • Which credit card is best for a Digital Nomad?

    Feb 20, 2024, 11:34 AM

    Credit card may not be your best option as the forex charge can be high. If there is no forex fee, you might find that the forex rate may not be that favorable.Debit card may be a better option.I understand HSBC/Citybank has global currency account that allow you to spend money without forex fee...

  • QFF SC earn on CX "Light" Fare - **Complex**

    Feb 20, 2024, 11:20 AM

    Hi, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but earning QFF points and SCs all boils down to your fare codes. Unfortunately, fare codes N and S when flying CX are not eligible for SCs. You need to check the 'QFF earn category table first to see which fare codes are eligible for FF points. https://www...

  • Advanced Passenger Information for Iberia

    Feb 14, 2024, 06:47 PM

    I flew Iberia a couple of times last year. I can't remember exactly whether I had to enter advanced passenger information, but I just follow the prompt for online check in closer to departure date and not much drama at the airport. Of course, things like this could change anytime but I am sure Ib...

    Thanks Grannular. yes, you are right, if it was 737 Max 8, it is shown as 737-8 insetad of 737-800. I always assume if it is 737-8 it means 737-800, but not anymore. Good to know, thanks!And AJW, yeah, fingers crossed, I know that Max 8 is being used for the route that I am flying but thus far I...
