Yes because you closed the borders - as you were able to do being an island country. New Zealand was able to do the same. Most countries didn't have that ability as their borders were too open to travellers. You also locked down hard when needed to keep cases under control and have only eased...

Agree - and as MAS have no KUL-LHR flights those days, the change means we were just stuffed for options. Just would be really nice if I was advised by Qantas of the change by email or text instead of seeing it purely by luck (because I happened to be checking the booking). Booking only made...

We just had the DPS-KUL leg of our points booking DPS-KUL-LHR return moved forward 4 days (while the KUL-LHR is still the old date). Would require 5 days quarantine in Malaysia so we would miss the 2nd flight anyway 😅. We only realised because I was checking on seats on the booking - no email or...

By the time you had major COVID outbreaks in Oz, many of you were vaccinated. My point does still stack up - you are assuming because they are above average age they would have died anyway. Most would not unless they had the comorbidities AND COVID (with COVID pushing them over the edge)...

Be aware that World Nomads has an IT glitch in Indonesia at the moment. You cannot view their website for anything including lodging claims, quotes, info, etc. Been going for weeks - they use Cloudflare security systems and it is blocking access from all Indonesian ISPs we could check...

My sister ran COVID wards in the UK all throughout 2020 and 2021. 18 months of hell for her patients and staff. Many had comorbidities but on their count, less than 1 in 10 would have died if they had only the comorbidities and not COVID. The other 90% would still be with us. Plus they...

Based in Indonesia we only have a main Jakarta number 8.30-5 Mon-Fri ( +62 21 2555 6300) & another local 24 hour "help" line that never gets answered (001 803 61786 (toll free)). Used to have more success with their Messenger service, but they seem to have stopped responding on that. EG: left...

Thanks Admin - all working now :)👍🙏🙏

Seems all over the UK was hairy as hell yesterday - flights abandoned at Luton with diverts to Stansted or Manchester + some even being sent to Frankfurt.

Hi everyone, For the first time in a while, I just tried both methods to get into Flight Tracker using both the 'my map" on my profile and the forum drop down from Member Benefits and Services. In both cases, it says: This site can’t be reached openflights.australianfrequentflyer.com.au’s server...

A marked improvement very recently (plus another new record of almost 7 months): Fri 2 Nov 2018 JQ 0110 FLEXIBLE ECONOMY/ 13-OCT-2018 PERTH/DENPASAR - 4,725 50 Mon 29 Oct 2018 JQ 0117 FLEXIBLE ECONOMY/ 26-SEP-2018 SINGAPORE/DENPASAR - 1,925 30 Mon 29 Oct 2018 JQ 117 ECONOMY/...

Done this run 3 times this year and had very variable experience. Many of the eGates are not active that early (they need a staff member for each bank of gates). If non UK/ European passport the line can be quite slow (again, few staff on that early). The biggest problem I have found is luggage...

Under tort law, I suspect you could win a small claims tribunal case against the TA. Not sure if there is an independent tribunal for travel agents or if you use the standard one in your home state. The questions then are: 1. Are you willing to go through the process? 2. What $ value would...

I have a new record for my Jetstar points. Flew 17 December 2017 (SIN-DPS), credited points and SCs on 19 April 2018. They are averaging well over a month, so I usually have a diary note set up to flag the 28 days, check if credited (usually not), and then do a claim. But 4 months is...

Either that post has been combined with this one or you are actually referring to this thread you posted in :)
