I had experienced "body tetris" recently when I flew PE on QF12 and was seated in 39D. One of the worst seats I've ever been in, and I paid PE for the privilege. There is a fixture in place on the LHS of the seat (supposedly to protect the pax from the toilet noise), the seat in front was fully...

I now just take it out of my carryon and put into the tray along with liquids - but I don't take it out of the brolly cover. Sunday, at Brisbane, the security officer felt all along the brolly, then thanked me for having it ready for inspection.

Very quick test chosen at random with economy chosen on the search engine Syd - WLG Mon 28 Nov, return Wed 30 Nov (fully flexible) Classed as Discount Economy when Points or Status Credits are earned. Ditto Tues 20 Mar, return 27 Mar (fully flexible) Classed as Discount Economy when...

I've noticed over the past few months that there is a difference in the calculation of SCs for fully flexible Y fares. If domestic, then the fare rule states: Classed as Economy when Points or Status Credits are earned. However, if international, then the fare rule states: Classed as...

Be aware that money belts have to be taken off when you go through security (airport, shops etc). As a female, this can be embarrassing. I now ensure that I have the money belt in my backpack before I go through airport security. My backpack has multiple compartments and all essential info...

Recently a number of us stayed for 6 nights at the Salisbury Hotel, West 57th Midtown Manhattan Hotels - Salisbury Hotel - Hotels in New York City, NY and can recommend it. Most rooms have a small kitchenette (make sure you book one) and quite a decent breakfast is available at US$6 per person...

1. They serve edible food that you don't have to pay for. AA has terrible food that you pay for. I fly JFK - LAX on QF rather than AA just for this reason. 2. Once on board, you don't have to pay for another thing. Recently, the Irish guy sitting beside me JFK - LAX certainly took advantage of...

If you're flying international, then NO. Take the empty bottle through security then fill on the other side (in fact, you and hubby could take one each). I've just come back from 7 weeks flying USA and Canada and still have the original bottle. Last Saturday, a friend told me that they went...

I also hate flying at night (not claustrophobic - just like a bed) and have looked at this routing a couple of times as part of a OW RTW ticket. However, when I last checked, NAN couldn't be included in a OW RTW ticket (if that is what the OP is considering). Can anyone explain why the airlines...

What would you rather? One service a day with one large plane, or 2-3 services a day with smaller planes? It comes down to economics balanced against what the customer wants. Some years ago, during the GFC and the rotten drought, Qantas cut services to Dubbo to only 1 plane x Sydney on...

OK - so let's be clear about this. The school will be held at a secret location (probably in a capital city - most likely Sydney or Melbourne - don't worry about the rest of us) where there will be a lot of drink to loosen up the tongues, and with only a very select few invited / in the know. I...

Not being able to see available seats when making a booking. I landed the worst PE seat LAX - SYD on an upcoming flight and could have flown another day. EF can see the seats, so why can't Qantas put a link in the flights like AA does (it's not worth my while to join EF).

I had a similar problems a couple of years ago. Teaching out west and very limited travel options. I spoke to Qantas, who told me that I could only use it for travel past the expiry date if I booked an international flight with it. Promptly booked a flight to Fiji, flying some months after the...

Hmmm - thinks back. Well, my first flight was with Butler Airways - Coonamble / Tooraweenah / Sydney "way back when" (late 1940s - and no, I'm not going to nominate the year). :lol: Coonamble to Tooraweenah was in a very bright yellow plane (I can still see the colour now), then we changed into...

You will enjoy the Warwick - one of my favourite places. Lovely grounds, right on the water, and they know how to look after guests. Agree with malmacdowall - put the phone in the safe, don't check the emails and and turn off from the world for a few days.

Re: Dfw Thanks for detailed instructions, MEL-traveller - exactly what I needed for when I fly SYD-DFW-ATL on 7 Sept. BTW, I assume you meant to say "Arrival city" not "departure city".

The extra points can help you to maintain SG if you're short one year.

I had a look at this yesterday, as SYD-HKG-LHR is the route I sometime take (daylight all the way - yeah!!!). The booking engine showed that the changes come into play late March (can't remember the exact date). However, this may not be correct - I was only looking at the booking engine. I...

Re: Capital connect services Ex CBR Perhaps that's because how QFLink sometimes turn their planes around <LOL>. Feb, I was sitting at DBO, waiting to fly to CFS via SYD and the incoming QF plane was late (due to a hold up at WGA). It seemed that loading commenced as soon as the last pax got...

Did the census form online. 1. CNB 2. SYD 3. Yes 4. LHR 5. 1 hr
