Photos: Galaxy business class concept seat

Agreed; as a solo passenger I don't want to be bunged in the centre seats either. But really - how many families travel in J? Having travelled long-haul in J on Air Canada for over 20 years, I don't think I've encountered more than a handful of children and a handful of babies. As for couples - c...
Singapore Airlines' 12-month extension for KrisFlyer, PPS

Apr 07, 2020, 11:58 PM

Air Canada (Altitude) did the same on April 6. Additionally, if the miles you do fly in 2020 qualify you for any level of FF status, Air Canada will give that level to your nominated loved one for 2021. I think this is pretty generous."Share Altitude status with your loved ones. When you, and tho...
These international airlines still fly to Australia

Apr 01, 2020, 09:39 PM

The Air Canada website isn't accurate (and isn't even the same depending on which info page you access). The website currently shows YVR to SYD as flying until 6 April then suspended until 30 April (BNE already suspended to 30 April) but SYD was suspended a few days ago until 31 May (my fmy fligh...

This is somewhat OT, but could someone please help me with this question? I have a ticket (not Qantas) flying into Australia mid-May. I want to buy a connecting domestic Qantas ticket SYD-ADL, but am unclear about the cancellation policy regarding *new* bookings. Do new bookings also have to be c...

Would Qantas devalue its frequent flyer points?

May 23, 2020, 12:24 AM

I recently contacted Qantas FF on behalf of a friend who lives in Cyprus, is a Qantas FF member, and is not on the internet (yes, they exist; he's 70). He normally comes to Australia once a year, but with the borders firmly shut it's unlikely he'll be able to come anytime soon (not an Australian)...
