    I booked a stopover on the return part of a return SIN-EU itinerary. The flights connecting to the stopover went into P class. Two nights accommodation for two people at 4* hotel was $72.

    Flight cancelled - and all because of a wine stain

    No VA, which on re checking did operate basically on time - 2015 departure ex Canberra (landed at 1930). About an hour after the QF flight scheduled departure time. On the surface it seems a bit odd as the fog seemed a lot worse around 2000 than at 1900, but as outlined upthread there are...

    There was a group of school kids on that flight, I'm sure the accompanying teachers were happy.

    Flight cancelled - and all because of a wine stain

    Exactly, I farewelled a family member on a 7pm flight last night and driving home thought geez this has come 8 hours early. Felt a bit like a spooky movie in our quiet cul de sac. Aforementioned family member wondered why he didn't see anything out the window just after takeoff.

    Qatar Airlines Booking - Passport Entry?

    I don't think there is a way to do that online via the manage my booking option, I've wondered that myself with a QR flight coming up. If they really need it before check in (unlikely I think with no travel via USA), they will contact you.

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    For a few extra dollars, Qantas offers to 'offset' your flight. But does it really do anything for the climate? And other ACCC actions against energy retailers and the like.

    Qantas First Lounge in Singapore

    That's the boat I'm in, having being in the F lounge thinking its all rather lovely. Flying F for the first (probably only) time in a couple of months, I might need to write down a list of what I can get by asking or uttering a secret code word. The extras might be lost on me - very rarely...

    Air India B787 crash Ahmedabad

    Did they? The NTSB report says that the successful simulator landings were when action was taken immediately after engine failure. Adding a 35 second delay for 'real world considerations', a landing was not successful in the simulator. Section 1.16.3 NTSB Report pdf The movie on the other hand....

    Air India B787 crash Ahmedabad

    Thats if anything at all was said ( about 787 safety). The context of the 'rumour' is important, if it's at the club over a schooner and $20 schnitzel & chips, then it's relationship to reality is tenuous.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    But like the scenarios when call centre staff maintain the rules are X when in fact they are not, if they don't know how to do whatever needs to be done quoting a policy mightn't be much help. I've tried referring to websites etc this trying to get into the EK lounge at Sydney on a trans Tasman...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Separate PNRs on QF to QF should be able to through check. Linking them can't hurt but may not be needed. The time gap between flights may ( I don't know) be an issue. Is the one day stopover an overnight or same day? 24,36 hours that type of thing. They might not want to hold your bag past a...

    No priority seating for Qantas Platinum on Emirates Flights code shared with Qantas

    QF is hosted by Amadeus and EK self hosted so a duplicate booking sits in the operating carrier's system including a reference to the marketing carrier's record locator. But a separate record locator nevertheless. Many codeshare bookings are managed this way. Have read where the QF reference...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    You can contact QF and ask or complete the green tier qualifications. One of the green tier activities is carbon offset a flight, the flight does not need to be by 30 June. Just the offset payment I believe.
