• It will start out with a few minor tweaks, then some executive will proclaim, “this has been phenomenally popular” after which everything will be up for grabs. So in 24 months’ time, you shall see the LH Group introduce a Business Lite product similar to what EK have done. Th...

  • So this means no codeshare on the HKG-AMS route? Seems strange to offer CDG from SIN and HKG, but not Amsterdam from both key Asian cities QF has direct flights to.

  • Exactly. I think the max time you'd want to spend is 4-5 hours, and even that is a stretch. So in terms of passenger comfort, an 8 or 9 jaunt to SIN or BKK would be horrendous, unless your in J class, or if they install a more premium Y product, in which case it would probably prove uneconomic....

  • As not so frequent flyer, I do hope the points will continue to be non-expiring (as long as one earns or burns) as every couple of years it’s a pleasure to redeem them without the worry (as is the case with SQ and TG) of them getting wasted.

  • Aircraft change - what are my rights?

  • Compared to Singapore no match. Compared to Qantas usually the winner. Fly CX is my advice.

    I've done this although my transit was 70 mins. I had time to visit the lounge even. Helsinki is a tiny, efficiently run airport. Your only concern is a delay in London, but then AY would reschedule you anyway (I think they fly twice daily to HK nowadays).

  • Another qs others may be able to assist with: does Qantas give full points when flying business in Sri Lankan? I know with Malaysia points are capped at fully flexible even when flying business. That could help you decide :)

    I’m annoyed QF serves pretzels 🥨 and nuts 🥜 in a bag with champagne in J class. Most other 5* airlines use a bowl. This has happened twice (both times the flight was HKG-MEL).
