Exactly, Australian citizen can't be stopped from entering at whatever port they chose, from a legal perspective. The officers might think it's a bit odd but that's about it. Whether the airline makes a note for future reference is an unknown quantity and worth at least thinking about any...

If you are checked through to Perth (bags and seat), you should be able to stay airside at Sydney. Probably best to check with them, if you're confident they know the answer. Australia is one of the minority of countries that does not insist on first port clearance on arrival by commercial...

Flew SYD-BKK on QF 295 last Sunday, PJs were handed out. This did not occur until after take off though which had some people in a tizz. Whether this timing was by design not sure as the service was a bit patchy. Pretty sure the Thai AY crew were learning ' on the fly' as it were, two plain...

The foot well in the first row of seats, where there is no support pole to impede the feet, had ample foot space for me (180cm tall). A downside to the seat is the lack of a partial recline position which would help in alleviating a numb backside after hours of sitting but not wanting to lie...

They get outbound API and PNR data to achieve that just like the 5 Eyes countries and some continental European nations. Some, like us, have outbound CIQ as well

Ultimately, Australian citizens cannot be prevented from crossing the border in either direction unless there is a legal impediment to this (eg court order, arrest warrant). The issue is establishing AUS citizenship without an AUS passport, which as per Austman experience can mean being taken...

That in essence was my point - you can't buy an upgrade to business at the airport, not even from Prem Y.

You can only upgrade to Prem Y from Y if available at the airport.

One isn't required ( or wasn't back in 'the day) to be a LAME - my father left school at 14 and retired one. The term 'engineer' is not protected in Australia so the term can be used just about by anyone. I believe 'Professional Engineer' is the term where a degree is required to be able to use.

May not be applicable for an award booking, but a revenue fare may have conditions that ANY changes require a repricing which in turn will lead to a ticket re-issue aka a new ticket.

I'm not too sure about the first question so won't comment, but status credits are/have been credited to the day of travel even if they are given after rollover date. Meaning of you travel before rollover then you should get the status upgrade if applicable.

It is a relatively easy thing to find out - https://france-visas.gouv.fr/en/your-arrival-in-france

ADL pax clear CIQ in ADL staying in transit in MEL. There has been discussion here about getting bags tagged short to MEL even though one is checking in to ADL. Not sure how successful anyone has been with that. If you clear CIQ and get your bags (or don't have any) in MEL, the airline will be...

$2310 for 480 Status credits for CBR-SYD-AKL in J : $4.44 per SC. I did pay $100 or so extra to get QF3/4 instead of a 737. MIght as well have a bit more comfort. This also requires staying in AKL a day or two, which I don't mind. One concern now is my SYD-CBR flights which are currently a 717...
