first class

Ahoy fellow flyers. I've been cruising this site for the past few years, but never bothered to register. I figured, it was high time I joined in the fun!

Hi all I'd love to get some thoughts on what are the best strategies on getting a gate upgrade from Economy to Business. What has the group tried - what worked, what didnt?

In a frenzy of status chasing fever I booked a return business flight to the UK. Never bought anything other than economy in my life and have had only one bizzo experience earlier in the year. Then I see QF dangle this upgrade button in front of me for 75k points and I start to think...

In economy on Qatar with a 6 hour connection at Doha, and was offered paid access to "First Class Lounge" @ around $120 pp when I made the booking. Seemed reasonable for a rare experience if it really was a "First Class" lounge, but it isn't. When you look at the Qatar website it only mentions...

Hi everyone, Has anyone been able to book to go on the new A380 with Singapore airline on first class using Velocity points? I know i could transfer velocity points to kris flyer but i want to see if it's possible to book with velocity. Any tips or help would be great. :) Thank you

Is this means the end is getting closer? Struggling Etihad Airways Close First & Business Class Lounge in London • AVIATION ANALYST

Hi everyone, I know this must be somewhere on the site but can’t find it :( I’m flying QF29 MEL-HKG 10.35 am next Friday and this will be my last flight out of Melbourne as a QF Platinum member. This means a last chance at the QF MEL F Lounge. Last time I was there was for a Emirates flight...

I've just returned from a US trip where I did a lot of domestic flights in AA domestic First (about 600 SCs worth). A lot of people told me "haha - US first class is worse than Australian economy" but these people have not been following the recent improvements in US air travel following the...

Hi All, This may be a weird question :) I've never flown J on SQ. I have tried their suits class on the older A380. Have experienced TPR in Changi and lounge in SYD. Have a trip coming up with the family (me,wife, 8 year old daughter) in J SYD-SIN-KUL-SIN-SYD. SIN-SYD is the new A380, and...

I was booked in J on Qatar from Adelaide to Rome via Doha. The flight was cancelled and Qatar re booked me on China Southern in J.via Guangzou to Rome. Qatar had my Qantas F/F nos. but as China Southern do seem to be a partner in any way with Qantas am I going to get the points etc. and if not...

Airline’s embarrassing blunder

So I’ve booked my first ever SQ flights using velocity transferred points. The flight are; SQ25 20.55 JFK-FRA-SIN 06.50 A380 15 hour transit SQ227 22.00 SIN-MEL 07.25 B777-300 Looks like the ‘old’ first class suites / seats. From looking into this it appears I get access to Virgin Atlantic...

In October I'm travelling to the US with a few colleagues on QF93 and they are already lobbying to leverage my WP status ;) Does anyone have any successful experiences trying to guest more than one person into the QF F lounge? How strictly are the rules enforced?

As the title suggests is the First lounge (Melbourne) open on Xmas Day. Are usual things like spa facilities available? Also I remember a few years back J lounges closed domestically over Xmas for maintenance. Does this still occur? Thanks

I recently flew United Airlines "First Class" from EWR to YYZ. (This is technically an international flight, but for all intents and purposes it is treated the same as a domestic flight by United.) The flight departed around lunch time and the flight time was 1 hour and 40 minutes, making it...

Hi guys, Has anyone been on the Singapore new A380 flight on first class from Melbourne? Apparently it’s only on flight SQ 232 or something I’m struggling to find a flight from Melbourne and they are only departing from Sydney. Any tips would be great. Thank you :)

The Pier, First | Airport lounge | Cathay Pacific If you scroll right down to the bottom, the text "testing" is showing. I wonder if that's in error? It doesn't seem like it's anything that shouldn't be showing, so that's a bit odd!

It could be phantom but there appears to be wide open space for SYD-HKG and HKG-SYD in early 2019 on QF127/128. Interestingly enough there is very limited Business and Premium Economy award availability across the same period.

Hi everyone, We want to go to Paris from Melbourne but Sydney has more availability. Why is that or am I looking at it wrong ? Thanks

My partner and myself are travelling to Seattle via Honolulu on the 8 Aug, Business & First Class.As per Hawaiian Airlines site there is lounge access available at Brisbane,however when you look at BNE website there is nothing to suggest this.I contacted Hawaiian about this and all the reply...
