Just about to finish a SYD-MEL-AKL-MEL-SYD with the quick turn. Return boarding passes issued at T3 Sydney, but International Transit at AKL is closed, so you need to call a number and wait 10-15mins for someone to come down (worth the wait). Upon getting my docs checked in Sydney: CSR: Are...

Correct, I was referring to the QF check-in

Sounds like the system doesn't like OLCI on same day return tickets to AKL. The counter usually opens at 0230 in AKL.

Did you go landside or manage to do it via transit only?

If you can get the return BP issued, you can transit. They weren't doing this recently due to DPD/Vax checks, but that's all been dropped so hopefully they issue both ways. I'll be testing this out again next weekend.

How about the return leg to AU?

Are all the site hoardings down yet? Didn't appear to be that way this morning.

Double Demerits on long weekends due to increased pax loads. On a side note, please start policing priority security lines at SYD/MEL!

I'm taking the scenic route via MEL unfortunately. When do you return?

Same here, dare I ask what flights/route?

NZ will apparently drop the pre-departure testing requirement next week.

MEL (F) QF157 One Pass please (P1) Good luck to all players :)

Just write AKL Airport (I think I just used one of the airport hotels). You'll need to upload your test results prior to be issued with the QR Code. It's a far nicer UX vs the Australian DPD. As an FYI, I was rerouted last min on SYD-AKL direct, so keep your BPs in case of involuntary changes.

I noticed that the DSCs don't appear to count towards the Loyalty Bonus :(

Transit closed and QF won't issue BPs for return journey as they want to check your DPD etc in AKL. So test required per standard arriving pax procedure and check-in at the J lines from around 0400 (security opens 0430). A couple of benches on the left after exiting immigration are OK for a few...

FWIW, I'm SG and was on a commercial fare. The cabin was half empty at T-24, so I suspect there's been a few last minute upgrades clear which resulted in a packed cabin. I can understand the odd occasion of not getting first preference, but there was nothing else on offer here. The flight was...

QF1516 MEL-CBR (Lunchtime) Last pax served, ran out of mains, reverted to economy option. Interesting to note that several pax with special requests were accommodated, but not enough meals loaded for all. Tossing up whether I should kick-up a stink or not. CSM offered a bottle of wine as...

Just need NZ to drop testing requirements, then they'll really be humming along!

What a fizzer.....
