Hi. Just back from my second trip to India in 12 months, in through Mumbai, work in remote Pal, Jalgaon region of Maharashtra state and then out through Agra and New Delhi. Took 11 Swinburne Uni students with me as part of an IT for Social Impact India Project. Vegetarian for most of our stay...

Re: KA delay HAN-HKG and knock on delay to MEL Elderly family member will need assist MEL-Traveller, they had no sleep. They made up for that yesterday with 12+ hours. The visa issue - I'm not sure. Hard to get a straight answer other than asking CX which we will do before they need to head...

Re: KA delay HAN-HKG and knock on delay to MEL Elderly family member will need assist Just a quick final update to finish this thread. Family members arrived on CX163. Their transit experience in HKG did not work out as thought. No hotel accom, possibly because of no transit visas for...

Re: KA delay HAN-HKG and knock on delay to MEL Elderly family member will need assist I was wondering about the accom as well considering customs clearance for non visa holders. Will let you know.

Re: KA delay HAN-HKG and knock on delay to MEL Elderly family member will need assist Thanks JessicaTam i had assumed that CX would do whatever they could to help them out and not leave them in the lurch especially with the age of the travellers. Will see. J

Hi All Mother-in-law and niece are starting to head to Melb tonight Hanoi-HKG-Melb. Just received message from them to say KA HAN to HKG is delayed and they have been told they will miss the connecting CX flight that would have got them into Melb at 11:30 and the Hanoi rep for CX cannot say...

Thanks deejo77 and Sprucegoose for the replies and shared sentiments on 'family' and 'do it'. It is not easy doing the 'family' thing when the family is not just down the road or across the state border (and I know many of you on this site deal with these same issues as the vh-scd family)...

Thanks Hvr, will do that in future. J

Family is the reason we go N860CR. Hugs from Grandma and Grandpa for my 5yr old is one of many reasons we HAVE to visit HAN regularly. Skyping just doesn't compare. J

Hi All. This is my first post to the forum and would like any advice you can offer with changing the return leg of a Singapore to Melb via Sydney award booking. 3 pax traveling: Mr, Mrs and 5yr old. We had intended to visit family in Hanoi this July and managed to get QF economy award seats...
