Thanks for your reply. I have sent Germanwings my question on their contact form twice but not received a reply. I will also follow up with Smartwings regarding luggage. I am leaning towards booking the Smartwings flight just for the peace of mind that there are no connections involved and...

Hi all, Last week I booked a flight for my family on Germanwings travelling from Paris to Prague in December. It is a connecting flight with a one hour layover in Dusseldorf. Do we need to collect our luggage and re check it and also check in at Dusseldorf or will our luggage automatically go...

Hi All, I have been searching one way flights from Paris to Perth on 3rd January 2015 for a few weeks for our family of 4 (3 adults and 1 child). The cheapest I have been able to find is Singapore airlines at 3168 euro (approx $4800 AU which includes conversion fees) for all of us. Do you think...

I bought an ENORMOUS "Airport" brand wheelie case about 7 years ago. I don't know if it is meant to be a great brand or not but I think it is fantastic as it is extremely robust. It is used about 10 times a year and is definately an all terain wheeler and has been wheeled many kilometres on all...

How many Qantas staff does it take to change a light bulb????? :lol:

Points are very easy to use for flights as long as you are prepared to book almost a year in advance or you are able to be very flexible with dates and/or destinations. I use my points a couple of times a year for family holidays and have never had any problems using them. Good luck and welcome...

Check how many days it takes for points to transfer from your Citibank account to your FF account as often FF seats are available on one day and snapped up very quickly - you don't want to be sweating it out waiting for 2-3 days for points to convert if there is only one FF seat available on a...

I have now successfully booked 2 award seats to the Cocos Islands and needed to share my excitement over the fact that the cheapest paid tix are over $1000 each but by using points it only costs 36000 points plus the 2500 assisted booking fee. To me this is good value!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know if you can use Qantas points to fly from Perth to the Cocos (Keeling) islands or if you can earn points on this route? If so how many will I need to use or how many can I earn?

Sorry about the spelling mistake on "perfect" I submitted it without checking it and don't know how to edit it.

To see what is on the computer screen at check in all you need to do is visit Perth international airport an go up the esculator and then look down on the check in area with a pair of binoculars and you can get a perfeck view of the info on the computer.

I have never had a problem with airline food and I have ALWAYS been in economy. My only gripe is that the person who designs the kid's meals is obviously not a parent. Serving spaghetti bolognaise to a young child in a confined space is a recipe for disaster and results in the child and at...

Lindsay Wilson, this is a great trip report although a little freaky as I too have flown from Perth to each of Broome, Kalgoorlie, Sydney and Brisbane in the last 6 months. One suggestion for next time you are in Perth during the winter months - take a trip to Broome and spend a day swimming and...

I use my points to pay for flights for my family of 4 for holidays once or twice a year. As we are in Perth everywhere nice is along way away (read: expensive to travel to ). I never hoard my points to save up for a long haul trip that may make more sense $$$$ wise as I got burnt when Ansett...

quick check At Brisbane airport myself,husband and 2 kids were waiting patiently in the incredibly long checkin line when I was approached by a Qantas staff member to use quick check. I informed her that as our bookings were not linked and some of us were travelling on FF points, one of us had...
