Ugh, DB. We ran into trouble in January - driver strikes shut pretty much everything down and our original train Munich to Zurich was cancelled. Folks at the customer service office were completely useless. Rebooked seats for the next day, only for that to be canceled. Rebooked for later that...

I managed to pull off similar (with 2A,1C) without status. Booked mid last year for December/Jan. SYD/SFO/LHR/FRA(-NRT)/HND. Hardest part will be in and out of Aus. (Plenty of wisdom in this thread about positioning flights if that's an option for you.) When I was searching: Was loads of...

Ordered one of the new cards on the 21st. Arrived Friday 24th. Looks almost identical to the promotional material posted above. Has the word 'prepaid' on the reverse, next to the expiry date. Attempt to add it to Google wallet predictably failed.

An update from me to say thanks again for all the help! Currently sitting in the SFO Virgin Clubhouse with champagne and wings. Far less stressed than we were 48 hours ago!! (The second person I spoke to did get things moving, but needed another call to the call centre to find out all the...

@RichardMEL - yes, VS - thanks! @DC3 - cheers! Hoping the airline come through, but yes, travel insurance should hopefully be a good backup. Suspect I'm in for a couple of months of email trails being bounced between the two though :( @MEL_Traveller. Thanks for all that info! And I wouldn't...

Currently 1 leg into a 5 flight OWA booked through Qantas and hit a snag. Was emailed a little while ago by BA saying that our SFO-LHR tomorrow has been cancelled ("crewing constraints"). Offered alternatives via LAX or DUB, but keen to minimize transfers with a toddler.. After an hour on the...

Not a response to post #1, but didn't think this warranted a new thread. Just wanted to add another data point/experience for anyone going through this process. The information about the process scattered across the internet is a little haphazard and at times contradictory, so hopefully my...

Yeah, I visited North Korea in 2016 for 6 days as a tourist. They're obviously on the no no list, so I answered 'yes' to that question.

A word of warning - don't delay with your ESTA. The official advice is to get it sorted before you book flights, but I don't think many do that. Anyway, I booked flights, left it for a couple months thinking the ESTA would be simple and basically a formality since I have been granted the waiver...

As others have said, peak season availability is pretty scarce into and out of Australia. (Always been the case, but particularly compounded by the pent up demand and stockpiled points through the pandemic.) I put together a round the world trip earlier in the year, returning first week of Feb...

Sounds incredibly frustrating. I'd be sending an email to [email protected] to see if they can fix it for you. (See this article for the background on that team: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/qantas-fix-ticketing-failures/ )

I made a change on 12 Aug. Called around the middle of the day. There was an issue with recalculating taxes, so she offered to call me back. Got the call back around 6pm to make the extra payment and the tickets were emailed around 7:25pm. Don't know if it made a difference that my OWA is quite...

If you're not up for putting in the effort researching and checking flights, paying for a service might be pf value to you, however, more than 2 for a business OWA they likely won't take you on. How big is your family? If there are 4+ and no very young children, splitting your group into...

Hi all, Been lurking a while and found some really valuable discussion on here, but only now getting around to an intro post. Infrequent flyer, but pretty points savvy on the ground (mainly QFF with a sprinkling of velocity when the opportunity presents). Got a RTW booked for the family at...
