Thanks, managed to get through and they agreed to a refund. Just hope the process isn't too painful! Scott.

I decided to try Garuda for a DPS-SIN flight next week as they had a decent price on a flight at a time I wanted (7.35am), however today I received a notification that the departure time has now changed to 3.40pm, which would make it impossible to make a flight I have planned that evening. As...

SYD-DRW has availability on a few dates in May (the 20th and 22nd for example) while SYD-BNE has availability through May and about halfway through June by the looks of it. Scott.

The BNE-DRW flights are gone but I'm still seeing availability SYD-DRW at $160. The $79 SYD-BNE flights are still there too. Scott.

While looking at flights for SYD-BNE in May I found that the majority of them were around $79. Making a couple of dummy bookings in the same month I found DRW-BNE for $159 and also DRW-SYD for $160, I can't remember them ever being this cheap on QF! VA seem to be having a flash sale for May...

Thanks MEL_Traveller, been a while since I've been through SYD International so not sure what the wait times were like. Booking made! Scott.

I've made an award booking for JL771 geting into SYD at 6.10am and I wanted to book a separate flight to BNE. I was thinking on Flying on QF520 at 11.05am. Will this leave me with enough time or am I best off booking a flight later in the day? Scott.

Thanks froggerADL Scott.

I'm thinking of booking a classic award HKG-BNE via CX however I wanted to check regarding cancellation fees before committing. I can see that it is a 5,000 pt cancellation fee per pax however is this just for QF metal or does it cover flights on other carriers as well? Scott.

I had the same problem in Chengdu, English was ok for the usual exchanges but ask anything out of the ordinary and we started to really struggle to understand each other. Fortunately google translate helped a lot. Scott.

I made this run at the beginning of the month as was slightly cheaper than a direct flight plus it gave me an opportunity to visit a new place. Landed in CNS around 9.30am, hired a car to explore the Daintree area and then back to the airport for my 7pm flight. Not sure if this would be of much...

There is a sale for the end of Feb from $129 for the next 3 days. Not the greatest deal but I can't imagine it will get much better only a month out. Scott.

Re: 2015 in review Light year for me, 15 flights for a total of 23,352 miles and 49 hours in the air. Airlines include QF, JQ, JL, KA and MM. New airlines: JL, KA, MM New airports: HND, OKA, TPE New countries: Japan, Taiwan We absolutely fell in love with Japan and sorely needed more time...

What dates were you after? There's a sale on at the moment for $109 between 27 Jan-22 Mar and $95 between 01 May-23 Jun. Scott.

When do you need the points by? PER-SIN return on 3K with a plus bundle could be had for about $300-$350 if you're willing to be a bit flexible with the dates. Scott.
