Should be ok. The T&Cs says "Full or part travel of an itinerary is eligible only if you book (regardless of payment date) and travel within the promotional dates. If you cancel your initial qualifying booking or change it to be outside of the eligible travel period, this bonus offer will not...

Booked HBA-SYD-AKL-SYD-HBA for $1300 via AMEX in J for Queen's Birthday, not bad for 480 SC! Though the positioning flights SYD-MEL-HBA-SYD was around $300... 60SC in Y at least.
Qantas pulls the plug on Sydney-Beijing flights

Nov 12, 2019, 05:26 PM

Noooo! Whilst I agree that it was probably a loss making route given that I'm on QF107/108 a few times a year at least and J is almost never more than 2/3 full, it's still a loss nevertheless.A 12 hour flight in a fully flat A330 at often ~$2.5k return sale fares in J was a steal. Now it's either...
Sydney Airport's new Plaza Premium lounge to open early 2020

Can't be smaller than the airside Plaza Premium lounge at KLIA2. The SYD lounge pantry is larger than that. Good to see there will be more choice now depending on which end of T1 you're flying out of.

Qantas classic upgrade reward after online check-in

Jan 28, 2020, 09:30 PM

Just wondering if Qantas would still consider classic upgrade rewards even if the pax is already checked in through OLCI. Friend is travelling PEK-HKG-SYD, with PEK-HKG on CX and HKG-SYD on QF. Since CX opens OLCI 48 hours in advance, and they would be checked in all the way to SYD, would QF stil...
Vietnam Airlines or China Southern from AUS to Europe! (Business Class)

Jan 15, 2020, 01:43 PM

I'd go Vietnam Airlines over China Southern any day. Their long-haul fleet is modern and the service is friendly - I consistently find that the onboard service delivered by VN to be excellent. Are they on par with CX, JL and NH, no, but for the low fares that you can score with them you can't com...
Terrible customer service in Madrid

Dec 20, 2019, 07:20 PM

We were just travelling from Madrid to Marrakech and thought I'd share the grossly incompetent service offered by Iberia to their premium customers.At check in, we queued up in the Business check in queue, where a single check in agent took 8mins to process a group of 3 passengers travelling on a...
Accommodation options at Kuala Lumpur Airport

Nov 07, 2019, 03:41 PM

I found the Sama Sama to be way too expensive for what I needed it for - essentially a bed and a shower, so last time I decided to try out the Capsule Time capsule hotel at klia2 - I found it to be cheap and functional - about $40 for a 6 hour stay includes luggage storage, shower facilities and ...
China eastern booked flight qantas points?

Oct 04, 2019, 06:20 PM

I do wonder how long it would take QF to recognise W on MU as an eligible booking class though.I guess Premium Economy is not even mentioned as a thing on MU's own website.. and they don't seem to think they have any A350s themselves..
