Doha Disembarking from the A380 upper deck economy required a 5 minute wait before disembarking behind the business/first class pax. Arrival in Doha was straight into the terminal, I proceeded to the Business Class lounge which was better than expected. I'd probaby compare the lounge as being...

Heathrow - Experiences After inputting my QFF number I was able to select the upper deck economy cabin seats on the Qatar website. Selecting a window seat which has the extra storage space. At online check in the emergency exit seats became available to select. At Heathrow check-in, I was...

I've added check in luggage during a stopover with CX, no problems at all.

Thanks for the replies, will take some photos and come back with my experiences. Just wanted to try Qatar instead of the usual Qantas/Emirates routing and hoping I won't be too disappointed.

Just wondering if anyone has travelled in Qatar Y recently with QF status, is the status recognised? Hows the one world lounges in Doha? Are the showers easy to get and available? First time on Qatar, from the few pieces of read online suggests that Oneworld status is pretty much meaningless...

In certain cultures this can be incredibly offensive and disrespectful, in others probably doesn't even cross their mind as being a problem.

Yep, I also do that. Started doing it for my MIL and realised it was convenient doing it for myself, also pre-fill the inbound cards. Surely the kiosks they use could be expanded and setup to capture all of the information, perhaps frequent flyers could register to be exempt on the proviso they...

Just wondering, I have received the 'Congratulations! You've earned enough Status Credits to receive a Loyalty Bonus. Please make your choice:A bonus of 8,000 Qantas Points A bonus of 50 Status Credits You will need to choose by 03 Sep 2017' However my membership year ends on the 30th June...

As LCC's go, Jetstar are actually pretty good. Try Ryanair, Air Asia, Cebu Pacific, Easyjet, Wizz Air and then tell me how you think Jetstar are doing? Mind you, I tried Tiger once, they have some seriously dodgy reviews and I'm surprised they are allowed to still operate if half of it is...

I am also shuttling between the UK and Australia at the moment, working in the UK and living in Australia and doing a similar number of sectors as you. I also found it cheaper to fly UK-OZ-UK rather then vice versa. I already had Qantas status and have been booking MAN-DXB-SYD-DXB-MAN all on...

I work in the Maritime Industry, former Ships Captain. FIFO a lot, different clients means anything from travelling in business down to 'SEMN' tickets (some of which are non points earning)

Several years ago, when moving countries, I was taking as much allowance as I could on international J. I used a combination of status, J baggage allowances and also the hand carry allowances. To maximise my allowance, I filled my roller board hand carry with books and papers. It weighed about...

Also consider that many of the hotels in Europe are pretty old and were never designed with 'family rooms', some of the newer hotels you will find interconnecting rooms but may need to contact the hotel directly. Self Catering/Apartments are the way forward when travelling as a family...

I hold B1/B2 and C1-D visas and whenever I entered the US through an airport border using the B1/B2 (or prior to that VWP) I had absolutely no issues, however every time I entered the US using the C1-D I would be sent for enhanced screening. The enhanced screening is quite frustrating because...

Most of the Dash-8 operated in Europe are Q400's, the worlds biggest operator being UK operator FlyBe. You of course won't be boarding using a jetway and they can be cold and draughty on the ground. Avoid sitting near the props, choose seats at the front or back. Generally feels not dissimilar...

I'd imagine the crew are more disappointed, especially as they have probably to spend an unexpected night in TPE rather than going home. The consequences of intentionally breaking the regulations would be severe. Fatigue is deadly.

Amsterdam Schiphol - Menzies/Aspire 41 Lounge - Jan 2017 Access Granted Used the card for lounge access in Amsterdam Schiphol yesterday (International side, not schengen). The list mentions the Menzies Lounge, which is in fact the Aspire 41 Lounge near to the D Gates. Great lounge, good choice...

Yes, it's a pretty poor setup. About 10 of us were in transit to Amsterdam, however I was the only one on MF metal SZX-PEK instead of CZ and all the CZ guys made it. But then met another load of misconnects for Amsterdam in PEK from various different inbounds. Scheduled connection in PEK was...
