When messages are sent, in my experience containing passenger information, the flight information can be shown as per below ( using EDIFACT). Not just QF, but an IATA thing. QF001 SYDSIN 07FEB 1510 2000 QF001 SINLHR 07FEB 2300 0500+1 The +1 indicates next day arrival. The date/time is the...

Yes fair call. I was referring to mainly internal or industry comms not to travellers.

There can be multiple QF1s operating concurrently especially in the event of delays. One way this is dealt with is identifying the flight number with date of departure, departure port ( for that leg in multi leg flights like QF1 & 2 land maybe arrival port. I'm sure there are other methods.

Sat in the front rows on both A330 and A350, no issues with noise or aromas for me, both flights 9+ hours no ear plugs.

AA is hosted by Sabre (it was their creation).

I have a 30 hour transit in Singapore coming up and found this offer at Dorsett Hotels. In Singapore one downtown and the other at 'Changi City' (a business park about half way between the airport and downtown). Twenty Six Hours Hotel Stay - Dorsett Hotels Having the room on a 24 (or 26) hour...

They seem to be have amiable and social chats quite often when working on committees which is where a lot of 'grunt' work is done especially behind the scenes. Public hearings can get a bit political (looking at you Senate Estimates). I know of at least one Joint Committee that had a meeting on...

Or whether the aircraft has a long turnaround ( or going to the hanger) maybe a factor. I reckon the number of potential pax on an A380 may discourage the user of a bus bay, at SYD anyway, due to number of buses and time that would take. That's assuming that space regarding the A380 not...

The technology has moved on in part. The ticketless systems from Navitaire (there maybe others) for example, The industry hasn't been able to or didn't want to spend the $$ in the large job to remove/ replace ticket numbers from the multiple systems that use them. The "One Order' initiative by...

I had a QF domestic connection to EK in Brisbane one evening. The domestic flight was hours late so my relaxed transit was now will we make it. The staff in the lounge said it's all good, they'll page you if needed. Given the tight time frame and the time of day- around 10pm departure from BNE...

MIght get stock from the Supanews shops.;)

There's an element of systemic redundancy as well- one process fails another one addresses the risk, or part of. Stricter procedures? There's grumbles about the procedures now about whether this or that is needed/ waste of time and effort etc ( right or wing I don't know). Stricter ones would...

Friend of mine got similar flights (MH,WY,QF) in September for 6.3k pp via TA. Picks up QF in MNL.

Why not Sunstate or Eastern Australia as well then too? Jetstar?

I think the critical word there is presumably. In most cases you'd be right, be legally can an entity issue a credit (in lieu of a refund) to someone other than that who a actually paid it? I don't know.

That w wouldn't work where someone other than the taxpayer paid the bill. Eg Husband using his card to pay wife's bill.

That was the third attempt, all to Hobart. It didn't cost any more in points or fees. I get that the benefit is being protected on the one booking as opposed to separate ones. Being a QF to QF connection the chances of being told bad luck in the event of delay I reckon are not great given the...

FWIW, I recently requested and obtained two First class seats SYD-SIN return for Sept 25, but could not get any Y CR seats for connecting SYD-CBR flights. Plenty showing online. The agents couldn't understand it, ended up going with a separate CR booking and linking them.

Japanese, and other countries in Asia, tour companies traditionally have preferred overnight flights so the daylight hours on quite short stays are not used up travelling but touring. Not for me, but my holidays tend to be a bit longer.

I think WY is hosted by Sabre, if so will highly likely be a different PNR record locator than QF (Amadeus hosted).
