If you come back to AU regularly I would just top up your Opal card to $18.00 or more then have it deduct the slightly cheaper fare of $4.47 to $5.54 for your dom to intl journey as moa999 suggested above. I would rather do this method for the sheer time saving aspect rather than get the bus and...

If you're doing SIN-DOH-BCN-DOH-PER then I wouldn't expect the system to show anything super cheap as it's two one way fares to/from different countries ie SIN-BCN & BCN-PER. Were you using the QR website or an OTA? Have you tried browing incognito and/or using a VPN and select Singapore as the...

The whole issue of checked and carry on baggage when travelling on QF & JQ is an absolute minefield to navigate and probably just as hard for airline staff to get their head around it as it is for the passengers. I think JQ were correct in that pax were only allowed 7 kilos total per person...

HKG will only accept QR code type boarding passes on the phone. SO & myself did a mobile checkin on CX HKG/YVR but he couldn't access his code on his phone. We showed transit security the OLCI version however they said they would only accept a paper copy of that. We had to backtrack to the CX...

Did you consider crediting to BA once you'd achieved LTG on QF?

Legs there's at least 5 award seats Fri 27 Sep HNL/LAX on Fri 27 Sep on AA144 2230/0704+1 so you would actually arrive on your chosen date of Sat 28 Sep. Total cost in Qantas points would be 112,500 plus USD28.00 total in taxes. Yes, it's a red eye flight - most award availability on this...

I was having a look at some OTA's recently to price an open jaw itinerary with stopovers in each direction for the following routing: SYD QF SIN QF LHR /- BCN QF DXB QF SYD with the return sectors ex BCN QF codeshare on EK metal. I found CheapOair had the most flight options by a mile if you...

Assuming you have no QF frequent or One World tier status allowing extra baggage you would get one piece up to 23 kilos. There is a heavy charge of AUD50.00 if your bag is 24-32 kg. If you need an extra bag it's cheaper to pre-pay online as the cost at the airport is AUD78.00. This is for QF...

Paging Limewood to the white courtesy phone! Just gonna put on some popcorn.....

Never seen any suitcase too large as in diameter. Checkin agents don't have tape measures. What sectors are you flying ie to/from the US or elsewhere?

Are these award tickets or paid flights?

If you're not able to get reservations to do the LKRL thing as madrooster suggests just ask them in SCL to check your bags through to CBR so have the SYD/CBR details handy. That way if QF28 is delayed QF Ops will see all pax with oncarriage and in a lot of cases be able to rebook them while QF28...

Hells bells I bet the taxes were steep. Have you subtly reminded him of that? Just file it away for future use and redeem when necessary. ;)

Steady on Pooch - close but no cigar. QF10xx are QF mainline B738 operated flights. QF17xx flights are mostly single class B717 operated flights or QF15xx which are two class.

Don't you only earn 50% of miles flown when crediting HA to VA?

I wasn't referring to anyone specifically, it just seems like a lot of people when they think Europe seem to favour AU/LHR/AU instead of thinking outside the box and flying into LHR but out of another European city eg OSL, AMS, ZRH etc unaware that in some cases they could save themselves...

It's only 'marketed by QF' if it's sold as a QF flight number (regardless of whose metal it is) and all awards using QF points are booked under the flight prefix of the operating carrier so your award booking MUC/HEL is both marketed and operated by AY. It just happens to be on QF ticket stock...

Once you've finished whatever has brought you to London you still have to option of flying on a cheap ticket or using miles to fly ex UK to position somewhere in Europe then commence the return journey from there, particularly when travelling in premium cabins. It doesn't matter if you fly into...

I'm amazed that ppl still prefer to fly ex LHR or LGW and pay hundreds of dollars more in APD charges when they could fly ex Europe instead.

I don't know whether this has occurred to the airline or not but if they delay cancelling and refunding a booking to the extent that a pax is considered a 'noshow' then they have effectively stopped someone else from buying that seat and missed out on a potential sale as their inaction has tied...
