Bummer! There had to be a catch. Yeah I guess that has to lead to delays wherever they do it. Whether it is worthwhile to achieve their security objective, who knows?

This thread shows how out of touch I am. I still provide passport every time I check in, or enter my passport number into the kiosk if I don't have checked bags and there's a line at the counter. It's just habit on every flight, domestic or international - saves remembering booking codes. I...

I'm getting $657 out, $620 back from Melbourne atm for 1 person. Was it just a one day sale or can anyone else access the cheapies now? Fantastic find for anyone who managed to snag one.

Couldn't be $300 return surely? Gotta be each way?

Re: Requesting Upgrade on Classic Flight Reward Bookings I may be just cynical but I suspect this gives Qantas the chance to only offer Economy awards down the track and anyone who wants anything else can upgrade automatically (at usually more than double the points cost of the business award...

I've never approached a random to guest them in. I often wish I had the opportunity to help someone out that came up organically at check in or on the way but it hasn't happened yet. The only time I've guested a "random" was coming back from LHR to SYD via KUL. I was WP but travelling in Y and...

Flounges in SYD and MEL!! Baggage always arriving on the same plane. Guaranteed seat (no overbooking). CBR domestic J lounge. (The latter 3 also apply to Virgin but contrast with US airlines). Also "I still call Australia home" on a flight back.

Maybe it has something to do with cookies in the browser you usually use? I usually use Chrome and it's not working there anymore but Firefox (which I only ever use if Chrome isn't working) and Incognito Chrome are fine. I'd guess if I deleted cookies in Chrome it would work fine again there...

Yep Incognito mode works for me too. Cheers.

Anyone able to search/book flights atm? I just keep getting "Error: This webpage has a redirect loop" Edit: Working on Firefox. Maybe just a Chrome thing.

The same way you pick up kids from the gate - they don't check BPs in domestic.

Use this site: China Trains Schedule: Tickets Booking Delivery Service There are numerous direct trains with various seat/sleeper options. Just searching random dates in Feb brings up 6-10 direct trains per day. But don't be daunted by changing trains anyway, especially from major centres. At...

If you just learn some really basic Mandarin, you'll be fine. I like the Michel Thomas speaking courses for the plane on the way over - a few hours of that is enough to get by. I spent a bit of time in Lijiang Old Town, Shuhe Ancient Town, the Tiger Leaping Gorge and Lugu Lake regions in Yunnan...

When I went a couple of years ago the process was: fill out the form at home, go to the VFS place and take a number, wait about 3 hours, get told Aussie passport photos are the wrong size so get new ones from the booth, submit everything, go back a week later and take a number, wait about 2...

I think it means if you didn't book by the 29th it doesn't exist.

Currently $1499 BNE-HKG rtn, or $1599 BNE-Tokyo rtn.

Berlin. Just doing a dummy Hong Kong - Berlin - Frankfurt - London, the box next to Berlin is for the Berlin-Frankfurt leg.

Yeah thats a surface sector. If you fly to Berlin and out of Frankfurt, then Berlin-Frankfurt is a surface sector. Just click the surface sector box on the online tool.

They're acceptable in all the places you mention. Hop across to the F lounge and they're acceptable there. They constitute at least half the footwear on any aircraft, in every shopping centre and at every sports stadium (at least in summer). So do girls in little shorts, t shirts and everything...

Were WPs ever able to request these? I found it usually just happened unless the flight was full or there were higher status pax on board that got them. Nice little unadvertised bonus which, like the personal greetings, were common but not universal.
