HI and thanks for that and it's for travel Nov 2011-Feb 2012 And sorry I knew about the US rule and had meant to put in MIA-ORD-LAX-ORD and replace HKG-MEL-WLG with HKG-AKL to keep to 16 sectors- I'll edit it now And yes it's a great frustration that no CX F to HKG and as you say no QF in due...

HI Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions for maximizing mileage and F experience on an AONE4 ex NZ - and I'm collecting miles on AAdvantage I need to visit London/Bermuda/Chicago - everything else is up for discussion! Travel dates are from early Nov to early Feb I could do CX F ex AKL...

HI I'm leaning towards Row 3 - i like the thought of Row 2 as there is noone in front of you and you get a bit of a view even though not at a window but I think that the window seats are pretty close in that Row.Many thanks!

There most certainly is an official First cabin SYD-HKG - this routing occurred due to an downgrade on our original routing which was MEL-HKG - an A330 has been substituted. Qantas offered to re-route us via SYD on QF127 in First and i have an e-ticket which they reissued a couple of days ago...

Usually i'm alone and able to prebook a Row 1 seat for myself but am travelling with another SYD-HKG. Are the 2 centre seats Row 2 best option I wonder? They have noone in front - maybe the window seats are closer than in Row 3 and also the business of trying to access the overhead lockers at...

Do I need an ETA in order to do this - the OZ Immigration Site says you don't need one if you layover is less than 8 hours and you stay in the "transit...

I am booking a Global Explorer First Class RTW trip and just wondered what anyone felt about the relative merits of the nonstop CX JFK-HKG on the 777 compared to the 747 via YVR? I have not been on the CX 777 with the new First Class Suite so any thoughts gratefully received. Also not been able...

HI ! Am flying First with Qantas and was wondering what the deal is with the Spa in the Lounge at Sydney ie can one pre-book a treatment and if so how?! Have not been able to find anything on the QF website. Thanks!
