  • A Qantas flyer's guide to Qatar Airways Privilege Club perks

    Jun 15, 2020, 11:52 PM

    One has to hope that with all the social distancing requirements and the limited capacity in lounges that Qantas might favour its own FFs over other partner airlines, especially if people like QR are dishing out status matches like candy at a doctor's office.Though give the current state of thing...

  • Virgin Australia wants Boeing 787s for Virgin Mk II

    May 14, 2020, 06:26 PM

    Let's hope they plan on paying Boeing with more than just “conditional” credits, or was it QLD tax payers' dollars? Too many theories these days, can't keep up haha

  • 2020 Qantas double status credits promo

    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...

  • 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...

  • 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..
