  • Review: Qantas Premier Titanium Mastercard

    Feb 13, 2019, 12:51 PM

    I agree, they appear at first blush to have totally missed the mark, although maybe it's a demo at this price point that they will actually profit from; time will tell.Just like the American Airlines offer where they pair a card with unlimited (other than having to fly with them, of course) loung...

  • Review: SWISS Business Lounge E, Zurich Airport

    Dec 18, 2018, 10:31 AM

    I envy you Chris, as I would do that if travelling solo but my husband would NEVER do all that runaround! It is also disgraceful that EY first class out of ZRH does not use this lounge (we did this in January, but had to use the inferior lounge offered) - I really will visit that terrace one day....

  • AMEX offers double credit card points for some

    Dec 15, 2018, 11:22 AM

    I had confirmed last night by the contact centre that our Aus-issued Platinum charge card will DEFINITELY have the points balance doubled. The contact centre staff member actually used the phrase, "one of your most valuable customers"!

  • Get Star Alliance Gold after just three flights

    Aug 20, 2018, 12:55 PM

    This question was already very clearly answered in the article: "All fares...except for G-class group fares, flights which were booked using frequent flyer points, and codeshare flights."

  • Secret lounge perks of the AMEX Platinum Card

    @blaz Would appreciate it if you could report back on how you both go.

  • Marriott Platinum status expiration?

    Dec 31, 2018, 04:37 PM

    Runs out at the very end of February, and restarts again in March if you re-qualified.

  • Sydney to Washington: Qantas or American Airlines?

    Oct 06, 2017, 10:10 AM

    Although the immigration line at DFW is at times visually very long, they are indeed efficient and certainly friendlier than other ports; they are used the Qantas big bus arriving & plow through everyone expeditiously. Agreed also for D.C. that Reagan is definitely better to fly in or out of ...

  • Scoot announces ATH as first European destination.

    Aug 17, 2016, 12:22 AM

    I ultimately think your postulation is bang on, TRB. They are very much sympatico with both the QF/JQ and VA/TT situation of wanting to ensure they have blanket coverage of a region in both a LCC AND full service sense, while ensuring that only their LCC offspring services the ports that require ...

  • Will Qantas A380s get a new entertainment system or not?

    Mar 01, 2016, 08:50 PM

    The QF A380 Y class does not need an upgrade of anything - as someone who has flown it a dozen times, I can say unashamedly it still rates up there. I can rarely get through every movie & TV show on their IFE that I want to and, as several people have pointed out, anyone who is prepared will ...

    Simple; ABT already reviewed it and provided this handy 'best seat' guide to QF's international A330 here - http://www.ausbt.com.au/best-seats-qantas-airbus-a330-300-business-suite-international-business-class
