Solid points. Hell, I was able to book SYD-HND for next year in J by going via Manila. Had I booked a few days earlier we could have gotten a direct flight to HND and there were more options for the return leg. Moral of the story; jump on the tickets that are available ASAP and don’t overthink...

I wanna do the Shiminami Kaido one day. I'd never do it during that cold of a season. Maybe October or April. Kyushu has some tourists, but nowhere near as many as other places, especially in the middle of nowhere places we go to. Our favourite region to stay is Tohoku and some places there...

Off to Japan in March, spending a few weeks travelling the west, especially Kyushu and Shikoku, then back home again. Like exploring the random places in the middle of nowhere and seeing what I can find.

You should find it most enjoyable. I can't speak on their past services, but the CI we went with was lovely, cabin staff were polite and the seats were comfortable. Only downside is the onboard entertainment options being limited, but not a huge issue for me as I have my macbook with me whenever...

I'm not a wine guy so I can't put anything forward in regards to that, but I can speak on the food and general amenities when I went TPE-SYD in April. The food was honestly great, and I'm not a big seafood guy. Mapo tofu lobster was to die for. Also the TPE lounge is great, nice selection of...

Yup, also tried 3 different computers and devices and 2 different browsers. Same result.

Yeah checked the bookings, they weren't there unfortunately. Tried. different browser and even my phone, just get wigging out.

For months I've been unable to see my trips in the cart. Comes up with an error and says to refresh which does nothing. Customer service had no clue what was going on. Absolute wild one.

My trips/cart have been borked for a long time. No matter what, it always shows up as something in the cart then comes up with this error. So even if it was in the cart, it wouldn't show up for me.

Great, thanks for the info. That gives me plenty to go on. I tried booking the flights and going to the final step after entering my details, it would come up with a server error and to contact customer service. There’s nothing in my cart, which just shows an error exclamation mark and hasn’t...

I don't know if there's some kind of trick to finding flights on the Qantas site but depending on which version of the search I use and what legs I select depends on what gets shown to me. Sounds weird, but bear with me. I use the front page search as well as the multi trip search to try and...

So I've heard. We've done a chunk of norther and central Japan, but haven't doen Kyushu and Shikoku yet so that's this time round. Provided Qantas website starts actually working. Been trying to book everything tonight only for it constantly throw up server errors.

Hahaha, yah it's one of the less fortunate designators.

Add another stop on our travels in March. Would be enough to add J to HKG before going to cough.

Seems logical. I’ll call them up and get it sorted that way then.

Tried to, but there's no direct flight available CR, hence the stops. I'd love to find CR SYD-HND, but they're long gone for late March when we're planning. So we'll go via MNL to still get J, albeit at a higher rate. Not the worst thing though as we like flying and travelling J is its own...

I don't think we're hitting the cap, it's only about 220K each. Would be great if we were.

Not sure, that's why I'm asking for the wisdom of those who know better than me. I suppose I'm a little wary of Qantas after the absolute nightmare we went through earlier this year (there's a whole thread on that). I thought individual ticketing would be the way to go but I'm wondering how it...

I'm booking our next holiday and looking to do Sydney to Hong Kong, onto Japan then return to Sydney. Finding flights is an absolute nightmare, not necessarily due to time or availability (bronze status), rather the search function is hot garbage. I'm looking to book all CR using points for my...

The Japanese legal system and how they detain people is truly one of the most horrid things about the country. My friends who live there are always terrified of a cop just having a bad day and a nationalist streak who wants to try and ping them for something and hold them with no charge. Sorry...
