I travelled PER-MRU-CDG Return Y on Air Mauritius back in June 2023. Obtained a great fare of $1800+, outstanding for high-season to Europe, booked in late-February through their website. Smooth check-in at all locations. Luggage checked through to final destination. Excellent in-flight...

I suggest you try Google Flights and the Southwest Airlines website to find flights that work for you. Using Google Flights specify One-Way and type in the city pairs and date to search for flights. It will allow you to also see what fares are for dates around that same date. By changing a day...

Dual US/AU citizen. Mid-year trip to USA/UK lasting just under six weeks: PER-SIN-SFO (SQ/UA) Late-May SFO-LHR(VS) Early-June LHR-SFO(VS) Late-June SFO-SIN-PER(UA/SQ) Early-July At this time no requirement to get UK ETA. It became mandatory last month for Qatar and in March 2024 other middle...

Yes, I did PER-SIN-SEA back in March with an overnight at YOTELAIR Changi. Bag at Perth was checked all the way through to US leaving the next morning. Just put things I needed overnight into my carry-on. Coming back flew SFO-SIN-PER with two nights again at Changi. Checking in at SFO the...

Still finalising plans but it looks certain to be another EU trip for (Australian) winter. Flying from Perth to Newcastle late-May, spending all of June travelling UK. July and August will be in Toulouse again, then home to Perth in early September the same as this year.

I have been in Toulouse at an AirBnB since early June staying until September 1st. Have not noticed anything extraordinary other than the (somewhat normal) police presence. Was out Thursday night until 11pm and last evening in the Capitole area. Nothing to cause me any anxiety. Today (Saturday...

You may already know this but I should have mentioned....Truphone sells the plans but they are not the provider. Here in France I am on the Orange France network. When I was in the US in March Truphone used T-Mobile. In 9 days here I have had no interruptions on Orange France. Using Truphone...

www.truphone.com You may need to click on the 'Personal' tab at the top left as it defaults to their 'Business' info. Better yet, download the Truphone app which is how I manage everything for the plan. You can always delete it if you aren't interested.

I'm currently in France for 3 months from Perth at an AirBnB. In Australia I have an Aldi plan which uses the Telstra network. Before leaving Australia I downloaded the Truphone ESim and then activated the plan when I landed at CDG. The cost is $AUD25 for 10gb/30days and I have auto-renewal...

Have you considered using Google Flights (google.com/flights) to help with this ? Do a search of the approximate dates you are looking for. After selecting your (proposed) departure and arrival flights, it will display your Selected Flights. At the right top of the page, there should be a...

Thanks for the info. I haven't spoken to the call centre but the ticket is 'economy lite' and clearly states changes are not allowed. Also if I try to modify it online, the only option is to cancel in which case it only wants to refund me the taxes. Your post is very helpful as it allows me to...

Question regarding overlapping reservations on SQ. I have a Y non-changeable ticket for SFO-SIN Mar 29, two day stopover in SIN, then SIN-PER on Apr 1. Due to change in plans I want to eliminate the stopover in SIN. I understand my existing ticket cannot be changed. I am thinking of buying...

Booked QF MEL/PER to SIN in early March. Two travelling and meeting up in Singapore. One night in SIN and then SQ SIN-HAN. 15 days in Vietnam and then SQ SGN-SIN on March 16th connecting straight through to QF back home. All flights booked but no accommodation. Planning to do AirBnB's for all...

Modified my flight dates so now confirmed on QF71 PER-SIN 27/03/22 and returning on QF72 SIN-PER 12/04/22. It appears that the service between PER-SIN is only being restarted on that date. Ultimate destination, after meeting up with traveller from MEL, is VietNam. Was able to find good Y fares...

I'm confirmed in Y on QF71/72 between PER-SIN 02Mar-18Mar2022. If I try to search for these flights they aren't shown but my booking hasn't been cancelled. Any thoughts on the likelihood that these flights will actually operate?
