Thank you both for your ideas - I was working on some options last night when I was told "it would be lovely to go back to Singapore for my birthday"!!!! Seems it has made the whole birthday thing a whole lot simpler. We both love Singapore and the food, and it's where we had our honeymoon, so...

The flygirl has a birthday in August, and as she has never been to Japan, I'm trying to figure out the flights to get from ADL to KIX. The plan is to visit Osaka and Kyoto, but we need to slip down to Wakayama for 2 days (to keep the tax man happy!!!!!) I want to use QF as we have bags of points...

I have 2 staff in Bali who have advised their flight home (Sun nite) has been delayed by 24 hours. They are/were on JQ128, and they were expected back at work tomorrow! re rostering staff now to cover their absence for a day! EDIT - just heard JQ put both staff and partners up in a hotel for...

QF 92 NOU to SYD is about 90 mins late due to aircraft late leaving SYD. I did some numbers this morning and we have done 29 flights on QF in Y, Y+ and J since the end of covid to USA, Europe, SE Asia and Pacific, and this is only the second delay we have had in all that time. The previous one...

There are a couple of options on the QF website for suites with lounge access - guess its a matter of deciding on the lounge, if I book with QF, or hilton points if I book direct. The prices are about the same either way.

Thank you

I'm new to the Hilton Honors program but am enjoying building up the points. I have 2 questions. 1. Does membership of Honors automatically entitle me to the "Executive Lounge"? 2. If I book on the QF website for a Hilton stay, does that earn Honours points, or do I need to book direct on the...

So here is a new one for me. My wife and I are booked to Noumea and back in November this year. When I booked, I put in for J upgrades on all sectors. Last night, my J upgrade (on points) came through for the SYD-ADL sector. Maybe it is normal for others, but its the first time I've had an...

Here is the screen at LAX now.

I think I forgot my coffee this morning. Dumb question. Thanks.

Maybe a dumb question, but can you carry toothpaste, in a tube, as carry on? Currently in Los Angeles, and looking at re-arranging what I carry on to the aircraft. We transit through Melbourne on the way home. Alan

Thanks to madrooster. I'll put this to bed now and go back to enjoying our time in LA.

Thank you so much - as I said before, I do know our seat numbers. Maybe I just like to "have control" over my booking lol. I'll send you the details as I'd like to try for bulkhead seats if they are available. Thanks again Alan

We are now well inside t-80, and still only getting the window/aisle option. Guess we just keep checking back.
