I haven't tried maq1 yet, but I think it will have taken over from Henry jones as the pick on the waterfront and it is owned by the same people (ie the Casino). Henry Jones is getting a bit tired, but still an amazing building. Somerset on the Pier is a good choice. I like it. Lenna is ok. The...

We find that when we organise a stopover in the ME for anyone, they only do it once. Next time they fly straight through.

Wow. That looked like it was on fast forward!

Im a +1 for Sabi Sabi. It has been 10 years since I was there, but it still keeps a good reputation. Am going to Ulusaba in a few months.

They didn't want to fly to SYD for years and now they are being super creative in finding a way to get two flights! Will be a busy sector for the crew... not too many 777 services in the world on such a short flight.

Were your QF earn calculations based on flying via SIN or SYD?

Were the MH sectors in I Class as well?

I'm not sure if I would agree with that. I'd take QF F over CX J any day.

Online travel agents get no different availability of codeshares than anyone else. In fact they are likely worse availability because of how the EK/QF yield system works based on what else is in the PNR and what you search, in what order. Cairo is a codeshare destination.

It is perfectly walkable and on a fine night, rather pleasant! You do have the Novotel, Ibis, Darling and Star that are closer, and the new Sofitel, depending on when you're here.

Hopefully this is an across the board reduction. Would love to see ours fall. No email yet, but I'll sit in anticipation! Can I ask what industries the people/merchants that have had the reduction are in?

Re: BankWest Rewards: Platinum 75k pts/yr + 75k pts bonus, World 115k pts/yr + 115k b They all go to QF each month. I'm still waiting on a 60k sign on bonus from January this year. And it didn't have any big spend requirements. Reading other threads they are very slow in awarding the bonus...

You could look at it from the point of view that worst case they make you buy a new ticket because you miss the flight. How much more than USD175 + points + tax will that be? If you're happy with that difference, then leave it as is.

There isn't a fare that allows Y long haul and F domestic US, so the short answer is no. You also won't be able to use the VA codeshare domestically in the US without a long haul VA flight number on the same ticket, so you would need to use the DL or VX flight number for LAX-SFO. You can put the...

The threshold includes spend/points from the supp Plat charge cards, but if you have the Plat Reserve credit card as well, that is separate.

If you book it with a TA, they can issue all three tickets in the one PNR and save the hassle/concern.

We booked 2xJ award seats for December this year a few months back. But had to call up to get them released.

When it comes to tickets, I've found Amex to be very good. They've got all these brokers around the world that hoard tickets or can get corporate leftovers etc and I've had 100% success in getting ticket through them. You may pay a lot for f=them, but you can get them. I don't use Amex for...

I'd heard the SQ operation was doing very badly, on both legs, but particularly between Canberra and Wellington. So perhaps QR are reviewing the idea?

It depends on what the various overhead lockers are certified for, weight wise. It can vary quite a lot, even on the same aircraft some lockers can be certified to hold more weight than others. BA may have aircraft that can take high weights. The 7-10kg restrictions were created decades ago. I...
