    Qantas to Norfolk Island

    Thank you. I’m just concerned that if you leave the airport and catch the train then you are no longer deemed to be transiting through the airport and given Sydney is a red zone, I would need to quarantine when I get back to Melbourne?

    Qantas to Norfolk Island

    Does anyone know if the transfer bus is operating between the domestic and international terminal in Sydney? The Qantas website says it does but wanted to double check. Have a Norfolk Island trip booked for early August, going up from Melbourne via Sydney and returning via Brisbane. I think a...

    Is anyone still Platinum?

    I’m still Platinum but unfortunately my membership year ends 31 Jan 2022 so at this stage I need to earn 600 status credits until then to maintain Platinum next year. It’s near impossible, had to postpone the last two trips from May and June due to border closures and next trip booked in mid...

    Due to fly Melbourne to Perth June 12th. Chances of flying?

    We were due to fly to Broome (via Perth) from Melbourne on May 28 but couldn’t go because of the border closure. the flight we were booked on was not cancelled and Qantas are only offering a flight credit rather than a refund. I have already booked other flights and are unlikely to be in a...

    Changing a non-changable/refundable booking?

    I made a one night booking for Darwin hilton when the 40% off sale was on recently so the booking was non-cancellable/changable. I've now had to change my travel date from June 2016 to March 2017 so was wondering what my chances of being able to change the booking date is and whether anyone has...

    No more Platinum shadow?

    I have a couple of flights on Saturday and called Qantas premium to block the seat next to me (i'm in 5C). The agent thought that this could only be done for P1's and called the P1 desk to confirm. I asked whether this is another "enhancement" I'm not aware of and the agent said that shadows...

    No meal on Jetstar Starclass domestic flight?

    To be honest I didn't notice any specific reference to a meal so that should have been my clue :)

    No meal on Jetstar Starclass domestic flight?

    I flew on JQ27 on Monday from Melbourne to Sydney, paid for Starclass as needed some extra status credits, so the flight cost around $485 with the plus package. As the flight departed at 12.20pm I was expecting to get lunch or some type of meal but the only service was a flight attendant...

    Seat 1K-Emirates with a QF flight number QF8762 MEL-AKL good choice of seat?

    I would also suggest selecting row 2 or 3 in preference to row 1. You should also consider trying out the shower, its quite lovely, including the heated floor. I think I was the only passenger to use the shower when i took this flight earlier this year. The "shower attendant" was a little...

    Bloody Mary

    Love the Mr & Mrs T bloody mary mix, the ABC stores in Hawaii sell a huge bottle of it for $7.99. Wish that Dan Murphy stocked it. I think your drink of choice must be recorded in your profile because the first thing the CSM asked me on a recent flight to HNL was whether I wanted a G & T...

    Using points for first class via Emrites

    You may have to ask to use the shower as its not typically offered. There are two attendants on board who look after the showers so at least it gives them something to do. You can also ask for an amenity pack, they might have some left over from the previous flight, the men's one in...

    Lounge Hitchhikers

    I was approached outside the lounges last month in AKL by a young bloke asking if I was flying with Emirates. I said no as I was heading to the Qantas lounge first. Went to the Emirates Lounge shortly after and was asked by the lounge angel if I had been approached by someone downstairs. Told...

    Qantas online chat - customer service live

    I used live chat on Thursday to ask why I couldn't do online checkin for a flight on Friday. Found it very slow, the first agent asked for the booking reference and went to check, 20 minutes later I got switched to another agent who asked for the booking reference again and came back with an...

    130 Status Point to retain Gold

    I've also booked a status run for MEL-AKL this month, MEL-AKL in J was $671 and AKL-MEL in F was $897 (on the a380 with emirates), which I thought was excellent value, worked out cheaper to book it as two one way fares. The F fares were cheaper originating from AKL than MEL $900 vs $1200.
