    CDG check in time for QR

    Does anyone know the earliest check in time in Paris flying Qatar? We are on QR040 departing at 16:05, but our train from Arras gets in at 11:13. We are flying J, so don't mind spending time in the lounge, Just wondering if we have to wait until 3 hours before to check in. Thanks

    Compensation for delayed flight

    It was a very weird day, with temperatures hitting 38°C in London. I don’t think it was ‘bad weather’ as such, but a lot of the infrastructure in the UK just couldn’t cope. It affected lots of services, including the tube and electricity. I know at Heathrow there was 40 odd BA flights cancelled...

    Compensation for delayed flight

    Thanks MEL_Traveller. I followed your advice and used the BA link you posted. It was an easy form to fill out and you could upload your supporting documents (boarding pass, etc). It took about 5 weeks, but BA approved the claim and the €1200 were deposited into our account the next day!

    Compensation for delayed flight

    I was stuck in the Heathrow debacle last Thursday and my flight BA31 to HKG was 5:02 hours late in departing, and arriving 4:27 late. I’ve been told my partner and I may be eligible for up to €600 compensation each. What is the best way to go about this? Is it worth the hassle of trying to...

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Hi, If flying BA F into HKG, then CX J to SIN, would I have access to the Wing/Pier First Lounge in HKG during the stopover? I've searched online, but can't find the answer. Thanks

    Which OW airline to choose for First Class award booking?

    Thanks. Hadn’t considered JAL and we’ve never been to Japan. No you’ve got me thinking. Was hoping there might be some F availability on QTR, but nothing. Hardly any J either, but would be tempted by Q Suite if I could find one.

    Which OW airline to choose for First Class award booking?

    Hi all, I'm researching award bookings for a trip to France/Italy for later next year, doing dummy bookings to see what flights may likely be available. I have enough Qantas points to book the Asia to Europe leg on First, which I'd like to do to surprise my partner. I'm looking for flights out...

    Do you get the F "treatment" if flying EK, or is it just for QF?

    QF or EK First?

    Thanks for everyone's posts. We've decided to go EK. For me it came down to the chauffeur service, onboard bar, caviar and shower. And as we still get access to the Qantas First Lounge, there didn't seem any other advantages with going QF.

    QF or EK First?

    My partner and I are looking at booking an award flight from MEL to SIN next year and have enough points to fly FIRST - we're just not sure if we should fly Qantas or Emirates. We have flown Emirates First previously, so is it worth giving Qantas a try? The thing's we've loved with Emirates...
