Finnair slashes business class baggage allowance
Aug 08, 2023, 11:07 AMCan't agree more. Check-in luggages are such a hassle.But I find the the cabin luggage limitation to be too unforgiving. At least allow up to 15 kg? I need to read a bit more about the rule but if 10 kg include laptop and electronics, then it is rather tough. Laptop, charger, portable batteries a...

Qantas status extension for Platinum frequent flyers
Jul 17, 2023, 10:10 AMI think it is rather excessive too - I requalified with many months to spare. But I would not complain if Qantas allows status credit roll overs, only for those extra SCs beyond 1200. Wishful thinking eh?

Qantas A220 guide: order, delivery, seats and routes [2023]
Jul 15, 2023, 11:21 AMThere are a lot of positive review regarding A220 in this forum, but I wonder if they are based on short-haul flights.I can see how it may be great for short haul, but I have serious doubts on its suitability for medium-haul flights to Southeast Asia. No matter how comfortable it is, being crampe...

Why this airline has started weighing passengers
May 30, 2023, 03:43 PMAirlines should accept the size and weight of each passenger as it is and move on - to take advantage or be penalised for your size/weight is rather unfair.But since we are on this topic, I would say that what would be REALLY awesome is that passengers who do not have any check-in luggage (even t...

At 17+ hours, Qatar Airways’ longest flight is back in the air
May 27, 2023, 08:33 AMThe unnaturally low number of SCs given happens if you credit the flight to your Qantas Frequent Flyer account. If you credit it to Avios, I am sure you will get decent SCs (or equivalent metrics they use).QFF gives low SCs for flights involving Doha from/to Europe/Australia, so you could be flyi...

Declining value of Oneworld Emerald lounges
Jul 15, 2023, 09:44 AMVote with your wallet. Just don't fly those airlines that do not respect the spirit of Oneworld lounge access 'code of conduct'. If you are flexible with your itinerary, do a bit more research. It is not that difficult to fly other Oneworld airlines that do have 'proper' lounge access policies. ...

Oneword lounge in Singapore for morning flight.
Jun 07, 2023, 03:41 PMIf you arrive really early enough, you might be able to go to T4 and enjoy the Cathay lounge (they are open quite early from 6 or 7 am the last time I checked). But getting to T1 and T4 is a bit iffy. I understand that they expect you to have many many hours before your schedule departure before...

Heathrow Lounges T5 and T3
May 21, 2023, 06:14 PMBA lounge at T5 is not that bad - at least the Platinum one. Not as good as Qantas First or Cathay First, but 'ok'. At least it has decent champagne.

Qantas status credits on QR metal ticketed with AA flight numbers
May 21, 2023, 12:34 PMIt 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. For example, as OP mentioned above, and I myself also double check just now, the Qantas calculator does not have the option ...

Access to T4 Changi
Apr 30, 2023, 12:41 PMTrip Report: just in case some of you are interested to know how it turned out. Initially I decided not to try going to T4 as it seemed like a hassle and not possible, but with roughly still 3 more hours to spare, I decided to give it a try.In short, yes, you can transfer from T1 to T4 while rem...
