    Dom - Int'l connection in Sydney and Express Passes

    Qantas carries express passes at regional centres for passengers with an international connection. Virgin may do the same. I doubt that lining up at the check in counter in SYD to get an express pass will be worthwhile. The outbound immigration process is automated now and is quick for...

    Trump to suspend VWP? [No - a different scheme]

    Re: Trump to suspend VWP? I note news.com.au has picked this up, and has declared it will affect Australian tourists. As OP says, it is fake news. The actual text of the order is: "The Secretary of State shall immediately suspend the Visa Interview Waiver Program and ensure compliance with...

    Flying to/from/within LTBMGA* (LOTFAP)

    Then I assume you also boycott all of the Middle Eastern airlines? Because the actual human rights abuses in those countries are an order of magnitude worse than anything Trump is accused of. Or is that "different"?

    Scoot experiences

    Playing Devil's Advocate here: The clause you've highlighted says in the case of a significant schedule change they will offer you one of the options. Not your choice of any of the options. I'd also questions whether a schedule change by 1:50, on a flight that only goes once per day, is...

    Hoax caller impersonates pilots or ATC in Melbourne

    You can buy a brand new one for $150 on ebay. Due to an administrative oversight, I had a pilots' licence for several years without actually being licensed to operate an airband radio. No one noticed.

    Aussies in US warned to plan their exit

    So an executive from a company no one has ever heard of says something outrageous in order to get the company's name in the spotlight. Meanwhile, the official travel advisory is at its lowest level.

    "Do you know how tall I am ?"

    Every Qantas economy seat I have had has a rail around the front of the space underneath to prevent things stored under it moving forward or things in front of it moving under it. This indicates to me that the seats are designed to have things put under them from the rear. It also just makes...

    Virgin - Aircraft Toilets

    The rule isn't there to preserve the forward toilet for the exclusive use of premium class passengers, it's so economy class passengers aren't walking through and queuing in the premium cabin. Some of those Shazzas and Dazzas are decidedly lower class.

    767/300 re 737/800

    But surely QF would try and schedule its biggest aircraft when there was higher demand?

    Flying from bne cx - lounge?

    The three I have here all state that you must be travelling on a QF operated or QF marketed flight. So a QF flight number, QF metal, or both.

    Possible to cancel one person on a two person Red E deal?

    Hello everyone, My partner and I are booked to fly with Qantas to Sydney and back this weekend. Unfortunately, I am unable to go but my partner would still like to. We are on the same booking on a Red E deal. If I try and change or cancel the booking online, I can only do so for both...

    Stopover in SIN. Transit between terminals

    If kerb-to-gate distance is what you're measuring by then Changi is far from the best.

    What is the best luggage for someone who travels overseas a lot?

    Before an overseas trip about a year ago I thought I would splash out and get a you-beaut suitcase. A few hundred dollars RRP. Took about one cobblestone before a wheel was torn off. Bent down to pick it up and the handle broke, too. Replaced it with a 30 euro one from a Gypsy. That thing is a...
