  • Qantas reduces access for free lounge passes

    Dec 15, 2023, 10:49 PM

    Seems there is a bit of snobbish attitudes around. I doubt Qantas will dramtically reduce numbers as Qantas sees it profitable to keep them near full to encourage more to join their program. I think things are a bit abnormal recently with passenger loads using lounges as business class is se...

  • Qantas unlocks worldwide frequent flyer seats on China Airlines

    Mar 18, 2023, 01:35 PM

    I think the London timetable is more accomodating to kangaroo route passengers. True it is not the best but far from as bad as you make it out to be. I see a 3 hour stop over in Taipei from Australia to London (BNE-LHR) which is perfect for say getting a shower and having an hour or so in th...

  • Qantas unlocks worldwide frequent flyer seats on China Airlines

    Now just wondering what benefits or access do CI dynasty members get from this? For Qantas members (gold level and above) planning to fly premium economy /economy the big question should be are they able to access the lounges when flying any CI route?

    Now I hope the skyteam lounge in Hong Kong will have been revamped and reopened by the end of this year. 

  • How to avoid international travel restrictions ruining your trip

    Jun 24, 2022, 06:16 PM

    The first app which says China is partially restricted and on the same level as Australia is an amazing description. (The original impression from the map)14 day quarantine, 1 to 2 week home restrictions (or at a hotel you want to stay at). Yes some reductions in some cities but it is still atlea...

  • Australians working overseas

    Oct 12, 2020, 02:25 AM

    Well I would love to come back to Australia within the next 8 or 10 months to spend a month or 2 with family. I work in China (Shenzhen) with my family (My wife is a chinese citizen). I was hoping to hear a travel bubble to develop between China and Australia but nothing yet. Not sure if it is ju...

  • Gold to Platinum - currently 1330 SC credits

    The best thing they should do is extend the qualification period for over the 12months. So for example if the airline is effectively shut down for 3-4 months they can say instead of the points counting for the previous 12 months, the previous 16 months will count towards the qualification.. Of co...

  • Reader review: Vietnam Airlines A350 premium economy, Melbourne-HCMC

    Mar 15, 2019, 08:41 PM

    Looks okay. And also business lite like PE usually sells for atleast a few hundred more. I also find it difficult sleeping in Premium Economy even with extra leg room when sliding the seat into its lowest position my legs get cut off.

  • Last Qantas 747 with F seats being phased out

    Feb 06, 2019, 09:35 PM

    Yes sitting at the front of the B747 is always special. Luckily if you really desire a blast from the past CI 747s will be around for another 5-6yrs for regional flights in asia and sold as business class. BA 747s won't be going that quickly so we have quite a few years yet.
