    Double Status Credits (book by 5/2/18, fly 12/2/18 to 20/1/19)

    What's frustrating me is that I just want to know what I need to do to book some flights and get double status credits. I don't want to go to university for 4 years and graduate as a lawyer in order to understand how to do so. Even more frustrating for me is that my flights are so far out...

    Lake Baical and Irkutsk recommendations

    Thank you both for your feedback, it's much appreciated. I am travelling there this Summer and appreciate the recommendations. I am finding it quite heavily booked (as to be expected at peak season) but I managed to organise a trip to Olkhon Island.

    Lake Baical and Irkutsk recommendations

    Hullo FFers, I am travelling to Irkutsk and I need some advice. I am wanting to travel to Lake Baical and am wondering if anyone has been and if you can recommend some tours. Also, do you have any recommendations of where to stay in Irkutsk (or places to avoid if you had a bad...

    Quick trip to Seattle - Museum of Flight

    If you are interested in taking the bus I took the 510/512 (route number depends on time of day) and it takes around an hour from Seattle to Everett (the bus terminus is at the train station). There is a taxi rank (or at least there was in 2011) at the station and I took a taxi from Everett...

    Quick trip to Seattle - Museum of Flight

    I did both back in 2011. They are both worth seeing and if I was pressed to choose just one I would have to think carefully about what I want to see more. Planes being built in an active factory or a museum full of planes. I suppose you can only see Boeing aircraft at the Boeing factory...

    Secrets of travelling light

    Many years ago I had my hair straightened too. I just went to my local hair dresser and asked about it and they were able to do it. I don't know if the method that I had done was different to the method described by Rebekkap. So if Frankston is out of your way maybe just ask your local...

    Original Routing Credit

    I was in a situation where I was on a BNE-xSYD-MEL and the BNE-SYD leg was cancelled and I was on the 6am BNE-MEL (direct) which I could not travel on. I made appropriate arrangements with the customer service rep and was put onto a BNE-MEL flight later in the day. I kept my itinerary and my...

    Pre-existing conditions & discounts

    Re: Preexistling conditions & discounts No idea about the validity of discount codes across redirected sites. You might try shopping around, try Covermore for a quote. YMMV but I was able to get a good price on TI covering a pre-existing condition. hths.

    JQ38 Delayed by 5 hours: DPS - SYD - MEL

    I was on JQ37 yesterday and waited out the five hours in the MEL J int lounge. As a QFF SG I had lounge access. Difference between the normal business fare and the Business Max fare is that the max bundle gives you all the extras like lounge acces, FF points and SC's. If you don't purchase...
