This doesn't sound good as aerosol transmission would up the ante:- https://www.bbc.com/zhongwen/simp/amp/world-51427216

so what else is new? a handful of people in China have a bit of a cough and sniffle and terminal pneunomia and governments are refusing entry and transit for recent travelers to China and also there are quarantine measures for recent China travelers. That'd be new. If you are flying SQ to...

I guess the implication from that story being that an asymptomatic person left enough viral material behind that days later passengers were being infected? The Singapore story is also disturbing although I imagine that if the infected tourists were coughing, sneezing (and maybe spitting) in the...

You should get out more often (or not). Absolute worst I encountered was an Air France out of Singapore. A drunk Australian bogan was shouting at everyone and offering to smash anyone and everyone's face in. This was before take off and I couldn't believe he was allowed to board. I think Air...

CX via HK?

Old BA J is diabolical and I don't think the new BA J is available on those routes is it? The only saving grace is that the BA J seat is very comfortable to sleep on - but it's just not worth it - CX 777 and A350 is much better and the CX lounges in HK are very nice. Although I don't much like...

I'll just leave this here.

I've had a couple of bookings cancelled by BCD Travel after I received confirmation emails and booking references. BCD failed to ticket in time due to their office hours and the bookings were auto cancelled by the airline. At least they didn't charge the corporate credit card. So it's not just...

Does this mean the ploy where you purchase a fully refundable $$$ ticket to meet bonus spend on a new CC, get the points, cancel the CC and then get a refund for the ticket is good to go? I always thought QFs insistence on refunding to the original payment method made this fraught.

Don't think anyone used my referral code - but I didn't expect it. Seemed a bit rude that others piled in after SydneySwan revived this thread, so:- Happy New Year to everyone. My Sydney Swan's referral code is 6881656

When redeeming QF flights using Asia Miles are the surcharges the same as they are when redeeming QF flights directly with Qantas? I'm pretty sure QF flights redeemed using AA Miles don't have the QF surcharges, is it the same with Asia Miles?

Do QF redemptions using Asia Miles have the same QF surcharges?

Damn wish they'd sack me.

Thanks. It said the offer was activated but doesn't show in my account - I'll go buy something and see if it works.

Which is the best debit Mastercard card to use for payments? I have an international debit Mastercard with good miles earn and forex rates but the ATO payment site charges 3.7%. I'm pretty sure I can fund an Australian debit Mastercard much cheaper than this but I'm unsure which one to try. The...

I've always been tempted to press the call button and very loudly ask the FA whether it's possible to manually release the oxygen mask as the stink is making it impossible for me to breath. Next time... That eau de sh** that pervades the cabin from stirring bowels when people awaken on...

Thanks for the replies. At least I won't be caught out and will pack accordingly. I have a couple of errands to run in the morning on the lower north shore which is why I booked this transit and just wanted to be able to take a small carry on with me for the train/ferry ride to my accommodation...

Wow that sucks I thought it'd just be a normal transit where bags are checked to final destination. Where do they draw the line? Is it just a Sydney thing where the airport basically closes overnight? Evening flights with transits to early morning flights the next day are nothing new so I assume...

Flying ADL-SYD-SIN on a single award ticket booking with a less than 24 hour overnight layover in Sydney (arrive 9PM depart 5PM next day). Is it possible to check my baggage through to SIN for QF1 on the next day or do I need to collect it and then check in again? I really don't want to collect...

3000 points for $220 spend - time to burn that card.
