The metro seems to be a bit of a victim of its own success: very crowded at the peak hours, including on weekend days. But that's a really good thing! Last weekend I checked out the new stations. A train to Sydenham, then hopping onto the metro and off at every station through to Crows Nest...

While not bankable outright, perhaps they see a positive nudge in loyalty as potential future sticky income which could be worth more than the fare charged on an individual flight. Besides, granting me a few Y -> PE or Y -> J upgrades on long-haul has made me want those seats over the rear...

"Never say never" But a few suppliers are in the "only if I really must" group. Like JQ for flights and I don't particularly fancy BA either. I'm often willing to give a second chance, sometimes even a third but after that it needs a lot of consistently positive and reliable hearsay before I'd...

At the same time, the family certainly was aware that they are on different groups. You'd think that the group 1 pax would also realise that the process has changed recently. It's pretty old school to presume that while they could all have walked through before, that the updated process would by...

And you don't panic because you can pack in <30 mins and are ready to go... 😎

At least I took one of the kids with me on a recent trip. It was one of his bucket list destinations. He got both a trip and less inheritance from it. 😁

Hopefully they keep the AY seats. You get Economy Comfort rows at the front of Y and a rather decent PE. Though, J is awesome for some and a trouble for others.

Got caught by the same two days ago. Was looking at EK fares SYD-CHC and found really affordable ones for next Feb. But we hadn't decided which weekend exactly to spend there. Two days later we had the timing sorted out - and the fares were up by 30%. The cheapest now would be fly VA to ZQN but...

Are EK PE seats available as QFF CR's? I'm trying to find PE seats in Feb 2025 for SYD-CHC return. The QF multi-city shows yellow ribbon on selected dates for outbound but clicking through gives only Y, J and F options. Is this just a question of limited releases which have been booked or is...

My Taiwanese friend was adamant that instead hiring a car, I should hire a driver over there. She may have been farsighted. Besides, it was more fun and informative that way.

His bundle of rights saw him depart? Not perhaps on time but, nevertheless, departing finally to somewhere unknown.

What a harrowing turn of events to you both, drron & mrsdrron! I'm really sorry you had to go through this and wish you will recover well from all the stress and trauma this surely caused! A big thank you for documenting and sharing your experience here for us. Perhaps it was after quite a...

Why go to QFF when there's already RexFlyer available for easy adoption? Rebrand and start enhancing the program.

In Taiwan I came across the same with a number of local properties: the only page that had anything valuable and access to booking was on Agoda. There was no hotel website or direct booking.

Departing BNE, i.e no connection to mind.

A question the other way: when does the QR bag drop close in BNE?

Came across this little piece of reporting. From this, it seems QF has company in reducing frequencies to the mainland China. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/foreign-airlines-lose-interest-china-domestic-carriers-expand-abroad-2024-08-09/

Need to unfortunately switch from gold to bronze. The time is needed closer to home. I was looking forward to meeting many of the luminaries of this forum properly, in person. Next time around, then...

Actually, a pretty good idea. Hadn't thought of it before...

Yes, many times. Latest ones from this year's promo.
