  • Virgin Australia eyes ‘pets on planes’ trial

    Sep 25, 2024, 05:37 PM

    Bring it on! Time for AUS to get with the program. No one bats an eyelid in Europe and cats and dogs travel happily and without fuss on all forms of public transport. In the Middle East, where I lived for several years, airline passengers can travel with their falcon in Economy class, providing t...

  • Review: Cathay Pacific’s The Pier first class lounge, Hong Kong [2024]

    Sep 29, 2023, 05:03 PM

    My son and I visited last week the day after I attained QF Platinum a couple of days before. I was concerned after reviewing some posts that my OW Emerald status might not be recognised, but it was. We arrived at 06:45, just in time to make an 07:30 booking for a foot massage. We had a superb bre...

  • Why every traveller should learn how to power nap

    Jul 08, 2023, 02:47 PM

    Just did a return marathon trip to JFK, via Jakarta and Doha, and tried out Timeshifter - a new app based on sleep programs for astronauts! The positive reviews don’t lie - a personalised program which starts up to 2 days ahead of your trip, based on you plugging in all your flights. I foll...

  • Review: Qantas Sydney-Auckland-New York QF3 business class

    Jun 18, 2023, 08:51 AM

    How do you manage jet lag when travelling across so many time zones David? I’m about to fly MEL-SIN-CGK-DOH-JFK (in J on QF and QR) and I’m going to try out Timeshifter app, which is designed to beat jet lag as I want to make the most of our few days in NYC. Any tips?

  • What was your best flight and trip of 2022?

    Dec 24, 2022, 06:51 AM

    CGK-DOH then DOH-FCO with QR in A350 private suite (almost Q-Suite!) and on the way back, FCO-DXB on EK F A380, then drove to Abu Dhabi and AUH-CGK on EY business in their A350. Overnight in the airside Oryx hotel at DOH was first class, with the indoor pool a must visit. The Al Mourjan lounge is...

  • Confused by EK F carrier charges but happy with outcome!

    Oct 08, 2023, 06:58 AM

    I’m not sure about EK’s latest narrative on the ‘reason/s’ for the high carrier charges on QFF reward redemptions, but if fuel surcharges is one of them, how can this vary between the same two destinations where the only difference is the direction of travel? I’ve ju...

  • Qantas status credits on QR metal ticketed with AA flight numbers

    Jul 17, 2023, 07:32 PM

    A post script which is a good news story - I decided not to call the QFF call centre and take my chance and see whether the SCs were allocated without intervention. To my surprise, they did, and within hours of taking the flights! They appeared in my statement as AA, and all in all, I scored 520 ...

    Originally Posted by quantumreality It may be a lot more tricky with this type of ticketing.To start, Qantas calculator does not always have the option to pick the marketed carrier for that particular route.

  • Qantas status credits on QR metal ticketed with AA flight numbers

    Originally Posted by FmD Regardless of who issued the ticket (AA in your case), you'll earn based on the carrier marketed tag. So if your flights are AA tagged, the AA rate. If they are QR tagged, the QR rate. Note that Qantas is tricky with QR codeshares. For example, SYD-LHR via DOH on QR meta...

  • Qantas status credits on QR metal ticketed with AA flight numbers

    May be a dumb question for some of our very well versed QFFs, but I can’t find the answer anywhere and hoping someone can help. We are flying from CGK to DOH and on to JFK and return in Business (D). Flights purchased through AA and all on QR metal (yay, QSuite on all but one of the flights...
