    Change classic rewards flight to day without availability

    It's the combo of AU School holidays and JP ski season. Japan flights are in peak demand in Dec and (especially) January. And flights back to AU in late January are the peak of the peak, as the school holidays come to an end. Has been that way for many years now. How many seats are you chasing?

    QFF security issues?

    It does sound like someone, or something is attempting to access your account, and the 2-factor authentication is doing what it is supposed to. What's your expectation of Qantas incidentally? Lock the account? Close the account and give you a new FF#? As per the earlier poster, it could be...

    Australian man uses Auckland Airport as start and finish point for a world record attempt

    Rottnest Island in WA is the antipode of Bermuda. Probably not a useful combo for a record attempt though!

    A dry holiday to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

    The Saudis are spending a bomb on trying to get a tourism market going. Will it work? This video review of a new Saudi resort popped up on my youtube feed a few weeks back. I took the time to watch the whole thing. The resort itself is visually spectacular, particularly the architecture. It...

    Lapland for the Polar Night, + Austria and France

    We have a 2 night stopover at SIN, and our digs are the Pan Pacific at Marina Bay This is a well located hotel, right next to a small mall and metro station. It's one stop to the MBS complex. Also good, you can now just tap your credit card to use the MRT! Haven't been to SIN for a while so...

    Cancelled flights & waivers due to Cyclone Alfred

    The opposite could also be the case though. I’ll bet there’s plenty of interstate travellers stuck in BNE and the goldy that are at/near the airport and happy to jump on the first available flight home. Any seat, any airline. That would help fill the planes.

    Cancelled flights & waivers due to Cyclone Alfred

    FR24 is showing both Brisbane and Coolangatta airports running pretty well with avg delays under 20 mins. A few cancellations in the mix too, of course. I imagine there’s a lot of planes out of position and that will take a few days to shake off.

    Lapland for the Polar Night, + Austria and France

    The weather was cold but extremely clear. Probably the clearest sky I have ever seen in a major city in Western Europe. This made for some spectacular sights outside the Louvre.

    Lapland for the Polar Night, + Austria and France

    We didn't have any specific plans in Paris. It was just a short visit because this is where I was able to find award seats for the trip home: CDG - HEL - SIN stopover SYD The French National Library is worth a visit

    Lapland for the Polar Night, + Austria and France

    New year's day arrives and we're on a TGV to Paris. The train is really moving. This gets us to Paris Gare de l'est in about 2 hours. It's non stop all the way from Strasbourg. Here of course pretty much everyone has to transfer to the Metro to get to their final destination. A big tip here...
