    What's your tip(s) for surviving the cesspool of Hotel booking websites?

    Booking (and being happy in) three star hotels avoids a lot of those excessive costs Haven't seen a resort hotel charge at that level. Besides the lower hotel costs means I can spend more often on the air fare needed when wandering Fred

    UK Departure Tax to increase

    A number of years ago, I faced the LHR departure tax problem. Being of more mature years (even then) I ended up with a seniors "bus" fare London to Lille and enjoyed a couple of nights in the French city. A high speed train direct from Lille to CDG completed the "avoidance", and where my bid...

    Qantas status on AA flights

    It has been a while since I have flown AA (reason should be obvious) but I seem to recall that when online check in opens at T-24, passengers are able to select (new) seats within the ticketed cabin. This applies to all passengers. Note that sometimes when elites are upgraded, nicer seats have...

    OLCI for USA flight - Collect BP at airport - should I be concerned?

    I was under the impression that USA citizens and Green card holders were the ones exempt from the vaccine requirements. Many USA citizens are actually resident in Australia......(not that the US Congress will admit there are millions resident outside the USA) Dual citizens like wandering Fred

    Could the day of the week be added to posts in this thread (where the real date is not mentioned) I ask since I have been looking at the DPS-SIN flights and the prebooking into J varies greatly by day of the week (in addition to the school holiday schedules). Wednesdays seem less popular (and...

    Qantas double status credits OR double points offer [book 23-28 March 2023]

    Yes but given AA is selling as a PremY transPAC fare it should be flex economy (normal 60 SC @ way) on DPS-SYD And the fare is VERY attractive (comparable to NRT transit but with 2~) . All I would need is a window seat to allow sleeping. When compared with domestic options would be worth...

    Qantas double status credits OR double points offer [book 23-28 March 2023]

    Toss up to post here or on one of the best status run threads...... Would like to visit friends and rellies in the USA later this year. Being that PER is the domestic departure point QF flights are normally not "financially attractive" once you look above economy seating..... Seems that AA has...

    Booking US Domestic Flights - I'm a QFF

    Code share (QF flight numbers on US domestic flights) are normally only available in conjunction with the sale of QF long haul sectors and the most common place to see them is when you purchase with QF online. Simply add your QFF details when you enter the passenger details during purchase...

    Whats Happened to the QF Main Page

    I get a blank space where the QF internal promotions used to appear on the home page. Other than that the site seems to work. Maybe they decided people did not need more suggestions for cheap wandering? Fred
