The "To upgrade Travel Class" cell for the first International should just match the domestic. It has no real meaning anyway, other than to confuse, as the actual terms and conditions make things quite clear.

Are you referring to the Domestic or International table? Domestic doesn't mention "Economy" as a word, but has Red e-Deal and Flex, which are the normal domestic economy fares. If you are meaning it is missing the economy fares sold as domestic legs of international flights, then this would...

Short answer no. Slightly longer answer, not unless they are paying a whole lot more - close to business class. Think the all J SQ set ups. Even longer answer - it is not practical even if it could be marginally economic. Comes down to number of passengers, and density / weight. Need a...

For Hong Kong, and 24 hours (or really anything other than late night to early morning), don't be constrained by the airport. Hop on the MTR and stay on the island or in Kowloon. The intown check-in is ramping up again, makes it easy to get back (if you didn't have luggage checked through or...

Nothing airside (unless you count a Cabana in a lounge), but the Regal is connected to the terminal. Snap - beaten to it.

You might be very lucky, but I wouldn't count on that always being the case. They could well argue that a misconnect due to a delayed flight on separate tickets is something that might be expected, but more importantly is not outside your control - as you could have made the booking on a single...

Be very careful about that - most travel insurance won't cover a misconnect on separate tickets due to a delay, and neither will the airlines. That is why it is highly recommended to leave a large layover, preferably overnight if using separate tickets. All on one ticket, then the airline is...

For "direct" flights (not too much mucking about) - that Turkish combination can be had in combination with Qantas for $7,633pp or if you use Jetstar to SIN it comes down to $7,115. The routing for Jetstar is Sydney - coughet (Jetstar) - Istanbul- Prague (all Turkish), and the return is Turkish...

More information would assist. What would you consider a "shorter" leg - and does it make a difference if it is day or night? How much extra time are you prepared to spend - as unprotected connections might save money, but should involve a much longer "connection" - ideally overnight? What...

Remind me to never go near that TA. I know QF have a reputation for being expensive in J to Europe, but over $100,000 per ticket is a bit rich,, so the TA must be making a killing. Or is $400+K some weird notation for something different?

Once it is under airport control and IRROPS occurs, just about anything can happen. Many years ago there were 3 of us on 2 separate tix, one paid J and the other two of us successful upgrades to U travelling SYD-HKG. This was back when the 747 ruled the sky. One 747 went tech, and the bird we...

Why bother with movement activated - just put the sprinkler on so that they have to get wet to get into the car. Bonus points if you can arrange it to so that when they open the door, the sprinkler actually sends water into the car.

Mostly - but there are some exceptions. Different marketing carriers having different ticketing deadlines can sometimes (I can remember one specific instance) be useful to the customer. Circle Pacific fare - JL required ticketing (and hence payment) pretty much straight away. but the CX...

Agreed. I imagine it will have something to do with the transfer to airport control, and the online MMB not interfacing to that system.

Is this a possible explanation for the phenonium of a few bags only arriving early, then a long wait for the rest? Presuming that priority is being given to connecting / transit bags, a first set of bags are unloaded - either a trolly load, or however many containers have connecting luggage...

The difference in those scenarios is that the passenger is not choosing to avoid flying with their luggage. It is the cases where the passenger is potentially electing to not be on the flight their luggage is on that are the concern. If the passenger was expecting it to be on their flight...

Successfully requested release on an extra U award on an E190 - 2 March ADL-BNE. Was already 1 U, but needed two. Was showing J9 C9, D9, I7 (so no J bookings at all) and the second U was released. Now showing J7, C7, D7, I5. Is the 20:40 departure, but is a Sunday evening. Fares on this...

I think the answer is four brothers...

Whilst they may not check, it is technically a criminal offense to take a flight using a ticket in someone else's name. A typical risk situation - low probability of occurrence, potential huge consequences. Using false information to take a flight

Lounge passes are only valid when travelling QF (you have to link them to your QF booking). Depending on how early in January you are travelling, you may have a slim hope that you SG status won't drop before you travel, and will still show. There is generally a grace period of a few days...
