New partnership for Virgin Australia, Air New Zealand
Nov 19, 2023, 04:06 PMThe devil will be in the details on this one. If they can get back to the same kind of alliance arrangement they had pre-2018, where VA Gold got you all the same benefits (except the 2x free upgrades/year) as AirNZ Gold on all NZ's short-haul services AND earned miles on all the many fare classes...

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) ...

Did Qantas really invent business class?
Jul 16, 2020, 01:58 AMInteresting article! Does anyone know what the approximate pitch and recline of those early Qantas and and PanAm business/clipper class seats was? Given regular economy class pitch was still pretty generous then, you'd assume pitch for business class was comparable to the more spacious Premium Ec...

Air Canada Signature Suite Vancouver: review, photos, access [2022]
Feb 14, 2020, 12:33 AMSo for SYD-YVR-EWR flyers, presumably this lounge would only be accessible prior to the YVR-SYD flight, not the YVR-EWR leg?

Upgrade a Qantas reward point booking with China Airlines
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. I asked at check-in and they were definitive that there were no cash upgrades (before they even ...

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. If you like to be able to fly other airlines/alliances or use your miles when it suits you, it's great n...

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...
