    Neighbour-free seat price.

    Does anyone know how much MH charge for the neighbour-free seats? Can’t find it online. Would be BNE-KUL then KUL-LHR.

    Vietnam airlines problem

    So my problem is- I’ve booked Sydney to Heathrow business class return in January. I need to change my departure date. I am wanting this sorted sooner rather than later as my friend is waiting to book the same flights as me. I deliberately booked direct with website, so I am in control of these...

    Vietnam Airlines baggage allowance confusing

    I’ve just booked SYD-LHR return for less than $6,000 thankyou very much.😀 I’m confused re baggage allowance. For business class it states “2 pieces (32kg/70lb)” Does anyone know does that mean 2 pieces up to 32 kilos each or 2 pieces 32kg total? Thanks in advance.

    Question re upgrading to platinum

    Can I please confirm with more knowledgeable people here (as too long a wait on Velocity phone line) if it says on my account to upgrade to Platinum “6 of 8 eligible sectors to upgrade”, does that mean I need to fly 2 more sectors or 6 more sectors? Sitting at 985 of 1000 status credits so...

    What is quarantine really like?

    I’ve done quarantine once by myself and once with hubby. My hubby worked at least 14 hours a day, so might as well have been by myself 😉

    Sorry just No problem for me to leave Aus. I left Aus in early June with special permission to return to PNG- I have residency there. Hubby will have 2-3 weeks break and he will go back. I’ll stay here due to grandchild due in Nov, then I will go back.

    What is quarantine really like?

    No choice at all, and no menu to know what’s coming either. If you have dietary requirements ie vegan etc... you tell them upon arrival. But I must say the meals have been very good, just the sandwiches everyday get boring. We did order pizza one night as a change as where we live in PNG there...

    What is quarantine really like?

    Depends on hotel as how good a time you have. We are on our last day of quarantine in a hotel in Cairns after flying in from PNG. Internet is fine. Husband has continued to work 13-14 hr days. We have a balcony but we do not get to go for a walk. A friend in Brisbane hotel gets to go for a walk...

    What would you take into quarantine in PNG? Anyone done it there yet?

    I stayed at Grand Papua Hotel. Was lucky enough to get water views on 8th floor, all rooms I believe have balcony. Overlooked the road which was very interesting people watching. Food was great and plentiful. Only complaint it was never hot. Food was served on proper china and metal cutlery. I...
