Thanks Michenny - will do. After I posted I saw it is being interpreted in a different way as you just pointed out, and as Anna said, it is a bit early as yet to take too much notice as everything can change - I am just a bit of an OCD planner. Excited to be heading out again!

Just realised we will be flying in to Frankfurt and travelling to France by train then train to UK then flying back to Germany for international flight out so may circumnavigate this unless they have instituted some inter-EU border check (highly unlikely). I also note the German requirement is...

I'm confused that the French Consulate site is still saying "Since 1 February 2022, people aged 18 or over who wish to enter French territory must have received a booster dose of an mRNA vaccine no later than 9 months after the last required dose to be considered fully vaccinated." We had our...

Not sure where to post this but wanted to share how happy we are with JAL and apologies if this has been talked about elsewhere. Had booked an exceptionally good PE airfare for August this year, returning September, to FRA via stopovers in Tokyo. Of course non refundable. JAL have made it so...

As a Queenslander I am bemused by the heat Qld is receiving (with a lot of pressure from the Federal Government as well as assorted ministers within and outside Qld to "open up") yet all the other States with closed borders vis WA, SA, NT, Tasmania appear to be receiving no flak whatsoever. Does...

I don't suppose this will mean we might have more luck in getting more airlines with PE seats (W class) to fly out of Brisbane? We get fed up with trecking via Sydney if we want to fly eg Singapore Airlines PE to Europe.

I can't begin to imagine how being trapped on the Westerdam would feel (cruising in general gives me the heeby jeebies, sorry, as you are "stuck" on a ship at sea) but I have no doubt an enterprising passenger will write a best-seller about the experience in due course. I am just surprised the...

ashleyn this was also what I was getting for a time - so frustrating. In the end I phoned JAL and they worked out for me flight times to and from Frankfurt with the stopover in Tokyo I wanted with connections that was within the limits of the flight deal - I had given up putting in multiple...

Ignore query. For some reason I am now getting a correct booking screen with multi-sector option and it doesn't error when I put in various parameters so all good.

I am trying to see if I can score one of the PE fares to Europe leaving on the one day they still have a cheaper fare listed in August but when I try to do a multi-sector to allow a few days stopover in Tokyo which theoretically is allowable in the small print I get error messages - how do you...

I haven't read all the responses sorry but I am a windows shade up person for a host of reasons including viewing interesting scenery and often feeling icky despite various motion drugs and claustrophobic if this occurs. I don't get why if, as is the case I agree it's now keep blinds down ALL...

Chipping in a bit late, but we have flown PE with SQ a few times and more recently CX all on long haul flights to Europe. As previously Economy class users (i.e. why I follow but don't post much on this site unlike most FF members) we think PE is worth every cent extra. SQ is a tad better but...

Thanks everyone.

Expert advice needed, thanks. Theoretically I should be able to use Krisflyer points via the Star Alliance partnership on a trip to Auckland (from Brisbane) I need to take in March, however I am at a loss as to how to make this work. Star Alliance says you need to contact the Frequent Flyer...

If only Bunnings had a loyalty system or better still, an airline point scheme - I am scared to tot up how many $ we have spent over the past 10 years and continue to spend with husband's hardware and DIY fetish (we have owner built three homes in our lifetime so far) then there's the gardening...
