Sit down and relax.

There's been a mid-air scare for passengers on board a flight from Melbourne to the Middle East, with two men allegedly claiming they had a gun.

Well, Emirates remains by far the largest operator of the aircraft with 116 examples, nearly half of all A380s produced, and plans to continue flying the type into the 2040s.
Neville BoundsHOST
British Airways and Singapore Air- Airlines each operate 12, whilst Lufthansa, Qatar, and Etihad each have eight.
Neville BoundsHOST
Uh, Korean Air, Asiana Airlines, and All Nippon Airways also will continue to use the aircraft.
Neville BoundsHOST
Although the A380 will remain prominent at major hubs for years, most operators are expected to withdraw it during the 2030s, leaving Emirates at its, as its likely final large-scale user.

Cameron LauferHOST
So he was just asking, what are the best use for Avios now? And so we got a lot of good engagement on this post this week from some of our members.
Cameron LauferHOST
Amongst the responses were QSuite's a great way to use Qatar Avios if you want to fly business class to Doha and beyond.
Cameron LauferHOST
Booking Japan Airlines business class through British Airways and using Avios that way can be a good use of points.
Cameron LauferHOST
Iberia business class, still one of the best and cheapest ways to get to Europe using Avios.
Cameron LauferHOST
And then also we had a member mention that Qatar can still be the best for booking American domestic flights on some of the lower distance bands, the cheapest of all the Avios programs.
Cameron LauferHOST
And then once you get into some of those more longer distance bands to use Finnair, and you have to call Finnair usually for redemptions, but that could be another good use of Avios.
Cameron LauferHOST
One other mention was LATAM to South America, flying LATAM using Finnair Avios again.
Bridgette BirkGUEST
Oh, wow.
Jared MataitusiHOST
Some of the big names in SkyTeam are Delta, Air France, KLM Flying Blue, Korean Air, and Virgin Atlantic.
Jared MataitusiHOST
And then in OneWorld, you've got American, Qatar, British Airways, Japan, and Alaska, which now includes Hawaiian as well.
Jared MataitusiHOST
Whenever you search for a paid flight directly with an airline, you'll usually see mostly flights operated by that airline, and you'll probably see a few routes where maybe one leg is flown by the airline whose website you're searching in, but then other legs of the flight, other connections, are flown by a different airline.
Jared MataitusiHOST
That's because those airlines are partners, and it's advantageous, let's say, to both Delta and KLM for someone to be able to go to delta.com or to KLM's website and make one single booking from Atlanta to Amsterdam to Venice, where the first leg is on Delta and the second leg is on KLM.
Julia MenezHOST
Usually, it's more in the 3 to $4,000 range, but still an amazing use of American Airlines miles to redeem them for Finnair flights.
Julia MenezHOST
And if you have a bunch of points stuck in Avios programs like Qatar or British Airways, you can move those through British Airways into the Finnair program since they all use the Avios currency, and you'll oftentimes pay lower taxes by booking through there versus by booking through British Airways.
Julia MenezHOST
So if there is a redemption that you're trying to make with Avios, I recommend just doing a quick check to see if you can find that same route using Finnair because oftentimes I find the taxes and fees, and sometimes the points prices, are a bit lower on that versus some of the other programs like British Airways.
Julia MenezHOST
The number four program that I wanna talk about today is United.
Ben CroninGUEST
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ben CroninGUEST
Although, yeah, I understand Qatar Airways was done in dollars last time, which was the one exception in the last cycle.
Ben CroninGUEST
I'm not sure why, but probably because they hedge currencies.
Ben CroninGUEST
So now they're getting into the tier immediately below that.
Ben CroninGUEST
And I'm racking my brains.
Ben CroninGUEST
Is there another one? I've forgotten.
Ben CroninGUEST
Oh, yeah, of course, Qatar Airways, which is a holdover from the last cycle when team marketing were managing the rights, and they did a six-year
John RestHOST
deal.
