Hi Mark I know UK is not Europe, but be aware LHR has expensive tax in J flights. It often much cheaper to avoid flights to UK

An update on our RTW. It seems harder to book than previously The Oneworld booking tool is a travesty. It has error messages that disappear if you keep going, but then comes up with more rule violations that are no explained. The booking site tells us to use Jetstar asia and has the flight...

Emotional support animals. I know they can help people, but everyone has watched the US airline industry clamp down on them over the last few years. Dogs biting passengers, peacocks on a plane, a hamster flushed down a toilet as the owner wasn't allowed to take it on, miniature horses, pigs etc...

I missed a good law pertaining to bloggers In Alaska even though it is legal to hunt a bear, it is illegal to wake a bear and take a picture for photo opportunities.

There are so many laws and rules in society. a quick search found this Dumb Laws (List) Alabama: • Anniston: You may not wear blue jeans down Noble Street. • Bear wrestling matches are prohibited. • Dominoes may not be played on Sunday. • It is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while...

The problem is a good TA. One moved, 1 retired and the latest one double charged us and doesn’t think it makes any difference where you start RWT from. I have tried your suggestion and only used SIN on return. It seems to like that. So I am changing the start a little. Thanks for the help...

Thanks RooFlyer Back to the drawing board for plan C

Reading Karens story about a couple dropped in WLG instead of CHC leads me to ask, who takes out travel insurance for a domestic or trans-Tasman flight. I know some people have a year long multi use policy. But we have never bothered with this insurance. We think that the cost of any unexpected...

Did you book this yourself or through a TA? We havent done this in years. If we did book, can I go onto the oneworld explorer site and choose my "preferred airline" to get AA? We had a good TA then, but she has gone. The one I spoke to last week didnt know that starting in different countries...

We flew AKL-SCL-CJC on a QF ticket. We got full points and SC on AKL-SCL. On the SCL-CJC we just got QF points

Hi We are thinking about flying Fiji air as QFF. I knew they had a link with Qantas and we can use the lounge as WP. Are there any other benefits like seat selection or luggage?

Oh fonts of wisdom, may I ask a follow up. when you book xONEx with JL, can you still choose which airline to credit SC to. I am assuming you can. Years ago, we did a family RTW, then later a couples J RTW. I am having trouble remembering all the rules, but we had a blast. AFF was just as...

Thank you That’s what I was after
