I took a refund of my return portion to Shanghai as the re-route fare difference to Singapore was $400. I grabbed a $80 fare on Air Asia instead. Qantas was not in the least bit helpful in all of this. 3 hours start to finish on chat.

I have a QF flight to Shanghai on May 1st. It has now been changed to China Eastern. My orignal plan was for 2 days in Shanghai and then SQ down to Singapore for a day and then QF to SFO via BNE on May 4th. Now that Mainland China is a no go zone for US and Australian authorities, do you think...

Yes - but are there any travel insurance companies in Australia covering coronavirus medical costs? Especially since the WHO declaration

Hi - yes this is an issue that has been around for years. The problem is that it needs a US phone number under contact details. Just enter some random US number like 360-555-1212 and then the booking will go ahead.

I brought my family to the Holiday Inn Express in Bali for the weekend and as you know they do have a pretty basic breakfast buffet. On this occasion, the hotel was full of group tourists from a country I shall not name with manners that are beyond description. On the first morning, we barely...

They relied too much on ADL-NAN point to point traffic. When in fact Fiji Airways should have timed the Adelaide -NAN flights to connect with LAX / SFO services rather than the 15 hour stopover. Arrival in NAN was around 6AM connecting at 9 or 10PM to West coast USA. A lost opportunity.

Effective July 20th, service to Adelaide ends. I just got off the line with Fiji Airways. I have been given the choice of a full refund or re-route via Melbourne with FJ connecting me with ADL-MEL QF flights.

I will continue to look at each PDS from insurance companies bit by bit and list here what I find. I am only looking at multi-trip travel insurance coverage. I am not in anyway endorsing any company here, just listing what I find to assist others who may wish to be covered. I was actually very...

I am concerned about the possible end of Jet Airways and therefore started to look at my travel insurance policy from Southern Cross. It explicitly states that failure of airline to provide service due to financial halt of airline is not covered. Can someone tell me what company in Australia...

Well this "Rabble" went straight to the front last week. Upon arrival at Adelaide airport I went to line up at the International Connection line. I do not have any Qantas status (MVP Gold 75K Alaska) so I cannot use the "Priority Lane." There were 9 people lined up at the Priority lane and only...

Exactly. She was very convincing. I thought maybe a new rule came out.

I am totally confused and I think I was just a victim of "aero visa confusion." My boarding passes went from "Now you see it, now you don't, now you see it again ......... I am a Canadian / Australian citizen with two passports. This morning I checked in at YVR for my flight to LAX with...

I am very happy to see another airline add Adelaide to their international network. Too bad Qantas does not add Adelaide. Adelaide - Nan - HNL next month - yay! 737 all the way - eek!

Hi guys - I do not post often but I am a long time reader of AFF and original member of FT. I know this will help us Aussies out. Bookable RETURN Z CLASS business flights on Malaysia Airlines website from HKT (coughet) to: ADELAIDE $705 USD SYDNEY $717 USD MELBOURNE $705 USD AUCKLAND...

It's a good deal if your plan on staying at Hilton Hotels that are in the upper price range. I bought 40,000 for upcoming trip to Toronto over Xmas.

I think the Manila Airport Authority is still waiting on Qantas to pay a huge transfer fee (aka bribe).

My family and I lived in a remote community 3hrs west of Uluru and therefore Uluru was our local town for doing our grocery shopping and eating out. I concur with the prices being expensive but they are actually cheaper than the remoter towns. We rarely stayed overnight but always jumped in...

My family and I just returned from a trip from Australia to the Philippines via DPS (Bali). We changed planes from Jetstar to Cebu Pacific (same day). However we were told that we had to get a Visa on Arrival, collect bags and check in again. While this is not in itself unusual when changing...

I still remember running across the tarmac in Indonesia to get a seat way back in 1988 as there was no guarantee a seat would be available due to no boarding passes being printed. Scare-ruda got me into Bali but my bags didn't arrive until next flight. :lol:

Gees - I can't make sense of the insurance small print. Does anyone know if the car rental companies insurance cover renters against Third Party Property Damage Liability if the driver was at fault and damaged another car? I understand about the Excess Liability Coverage but that only covers...
