    Dubai Connect

    Thought I'd share my recent experience with Dubai Connect in case it helps anyone. I was flying business and originally had short (3 hour and 4.5 hour) layovers in DXB in each direction. EK made changes to the connections a few days out from each flight which meant the layovers became 10.5 and...

    Booking direct vs. using travel agent

    I imagine this is probably a pretty common question but I couldn't find an answer on here. We're pretty inexperienced cruisers and looking to book another one for August 2024. We know exactly which date, cruise and cabin, just trying to figure out whether we should book direct (P&O) or through...

    SQ Lounge at BNE closed - any alternative offered? [Jul 22 - now open for SQ flights]

    I was on SQ246 in the first week of June and can confirm the lounge was open.

    Australian state border restrictions

    I'm planning on flying back into Qld on Sunday afternoon from Adelaide. Double jabbed. Home quarantine on arrival, no problems. Can anyone confirm that as of 1am Monday I'll no longer need to home quarantine? It seems logical to me but this is AP that we're talking about here. Otherwise I'll...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    I was on QF1777 yesterday. NTL was temporarily closed due to flooding on the runway so we had to hold for around 30-40 minutes. They said they'd give it a go and if they couldn't land we were heading back to BNE. Thankfully managed to get in. I was booked on QF2420 NTL-BNE this morning but that...

    Qantas Revenue booking cancellations (under covid19)

    +1 here. Cheap domestic return economy ticket (8 pax), flight in early April was cancelled by QF and a voucher arrived in my inbox. Went through MMB, clicked on the refund option down the very bottom and received the message below as confirmation. "Your refund request is currently being...

    Qantas Club Suspension during Gold

    :oops: of course. I spent a couple of years at Gold and only recently dropped back to Silver - I think my mind was still in Gold-mode. Sorry. Never mind me!

    Qantas Club Suspension during Gold

    Mine shows up on the app, and I'm almost certain (going from memory though) that it's detailed in 'My account' on the QF website. See attached screenshot from the app. My new membership year just ticked over yesterday so the expiry date of April 2021 reflects the QC membership, not my Silver...

    Overview of Best Qantas Status Run Options [not the discussion thread]

    Dates? I can't get it to price anywhere near that. The QF fare page for PER has NOU at $1103 one-way, you're not confusing it with that are you? I've checked QF site, ITA Matrix and Google Flights. What am I missing?

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    I'm not sure it's really worthy of submitting feedback because I wouldn't want it to sound like a complaint. As I said it's really a minor issue and both cases could've easily been fixed by using the call button. It was more an observation from someone that is new to SQ J that perhaps the famous...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Having just returned from our honeymoon and our first SQ J experience I thought I might share some brief notes on our experience (not worthy of a separate TR): - We flew BNE-SIN-DPS//DPS-SIN//SIN-BNE so all on regional A330 J product. Ok for day flights without being outstanding, but really not...
