| Qantas Double Status Credits offer ends tomorrow |
As you're no doubt already aware, Qantas is currently running its first "double status credits" promotion in a year! You can earn twice as many status credits on Qantas marketed and operated flights worldwide, for travel from 28 February 2020 until 14 February 2021, if you book by tomorrow.
If you haven't already, check out our comprehensive list of 50+ current Qantas double status credit runs. You can also hear about the current promotion, as well as recent changes to Finnair's popular round-the-world fares, on this fortnight's episode of the AFF on AIR podcast. |

| RTW to no-where in particular |
| Trip report by RooFlyer | This OneWorld RTW is going to be an odd one. When people ask me where I'm going, I've found myself saying 'nowhere in particular'. Its going to be a bit of a hodge-podge of some favourites re-visited (New York, Paris, Istanbul), some quick stops to get some history that I have been meaning to see for ages (Mexico City, Himeji, near Osaka, Strasbourg & Rhine valley of France), visiting relatives (French Alps), some new places (Bruges, Malta, Geneva, Taipei - maybe - and the Huntsville, Alabama rocket museum). read more... |
| CoVID-19, HKG and East Africa |
| Trip report by PineappleSkip | Ok, here's the game plan. Pineapple is off for a work trip to East Africa, QF to HKG, ET to ADD, then HGA, the latter of which warrants an into of its own later on, then reverse and return from HKG on CX. ET isn't the world's worst airline, it vies for the accolade of Africa's best. The 787s from Asia to ADD are mostly empty in J. read more... |

| Q: Most recent trip? |
A: Most recent holiday was an amazing 5 week RTW to Austria, Germany, France, the US and Penang on the way home. 8 different airlines and all international sectors were J or F using points. The highlight was my first Etihad First class flight. Asiana Business class was surprisingly good too.

A: My sense of perspective, things can and will go wrong but just work through the issue and move on.

A: Research and planning before a holiday really pays off and actually gives you more flexibility once you get to your destination.
