Jul 10, 2026, 01:56 AMTheir product is exceptional. Here’s hoping for good pricing, convenient schedule for the trans-Tasman hop, and for them to hurry up and join OneWorld as they are rumoured to be doing!

Qantas Economy Plus: what you need to know
Feb 06, 2026, 09:18 PMFrom the perspective of a 6'2" tall Platinum, I think Qantas has pitched this pretty well. If you look at their two biggest regional rivels - VA on domestic and NZ on the Tasman - both have quite a good Economy Plus product, and the absence of that on QF was the one thing that made me hesitate to...

Review: Air New Zealand’s nonstop Auckland-New York flight
Sep 22, 2022, 11:18 PMGreat review, and nice to see AirNZ kicking the food and beverage offering up a notch. But there's absolutely no way that $120 Felton Rd Block 3 pinot noir is going to be a routinely available wine on this route. Highly unlikely that the regular, $65 Felton Rd Bannockburn (also a fantastic drop) ...

May 17, 2023, 09:55 PMI recently booked China Airlines PE, using QF points, on SYD-TPE-SGN and was wondering the same thing, which is how I found this post - so I figured I'd answer the question in case others do the same.

Asiana Club Frequent Flyer
Jul 19, 2020, 02:15 PMI've been Diamond on Asiana for about 7 years. The #1 advantage of the program is the ease of attaining and maintaining Star Gold - the modest requirement and 2 year window make it super easy.

Malaysia Airlines & Oman Air Business - What lounges can I use?
Jul 20, 2018, 12:28 PMOriginally Posted by moa999 Checkin generally 3hrs before. I think that is WAY excessive, unless you particularly like getting to the airport early and/or get anxious. Checking in 2 hours prior for international when in business class is plenty of time in my experience. I also check in online wh...

Malaysia Airlines & Oman Air Business - What lounges can I use?
Jul 20, 2018, 10:29 AMTheoretically you can use the EK lounge in SYD, which definitely has some advantages over the QF lounge: the wine and spirits are better (including actual champagne); the food spread is usually pretty impressive (though I don't know how good it is late in the evening prior to MH140, as the lounge...
