Buy two years of Star Alliance Gold status – and get your money back!
May 27, 2022, 03:05 PMThe conversion from USD the THB is a wrinkle that could hurt. There have been times when that currency pair has been very volatile. I am looking to buy tickets to Europe in September, but I don’t think I want the currency risk right now, May revisit in two months, although to be fair 10k US...

Qantas delays restart of San Francisco flights until October
May 18, 2022, 04:24 PMGee Qantas are a trick aren’t they. Booked 2 redemptions from SFO SYD for mid October because LAX SYD was unavailable. Been moved to QF12, no discussion of how to get from San Fran to Los Angeles, but as it suits me better might be cheeky to ask for compensation…..

ANA boosts Sydney-Tokyo flights
Oct 22, 2021, 11:07 AMI am booked SYD CGD and FRA SYD in Z next April, have a 6 hour layover in Tokyo. Hopefully we will actually have something to do, tantalising to be so close to the best Sushi breakfast in the world. Fare was only 5.5k which feels more than fair for airline ranked number 3 by Skytrax (FWIW).

Executive Traveller review Sin
May 23, 2022, 05:02 PMHaving just travelled to Europe One World QF/AY and returned SQ, I am at a loss to understand why Changi is lauded so much. The boutiques in Milan MXP are extraordinary in comparison. Not only that the hard and soft product on SQ only made me yearn for QF. But that’s another story.

Flying over Russia?
Feb 28, 2022, 06:49 PMI have SIN/HEL booked for 21 April, Hard to not fly over Russia for HEL, I imagine by then even Finnair may have to travel via the Baltic.

Sydney to Italy via Singapore
Feb 11, 2022, 03:53 PMIt is mighty peculiar that the Australian QR code for vaccine status is not compatible with Europe and DFAT says “tough luck the Europeans are not following the global protocol.” I can’t imagine it will cost much to create a QR for travellers, DFAT could even charge for it and s...

This means the other Star Alliance booking engines can no longer see a saver fare even if the ch...
