    Throwaway 3K ticket for SIN F lounge access

    I should have read a bit more...... although s22 still fairly light from my read. Your reason for "getting there" and then "being there" is still the same, it is all linked to the primary flight you have presented to airport staff. Lounge access within a protected space is a different governing...

    Throwaway 3K ticket for SIN F lounge access

    For what it is worth, the actual law covering this is actually very light: No unauthorised entry to protected place 20.—(1) A person must not enter a protected place unless the person — (a) has a permit issued by the authority of the protected place; or (b) is permitted to enter the...

    Throwaway 3K ticket for SIN F lounge access

    No way!!! We definitely need someone (not me 😀) to conquer this! QF, F lounge in Singapore is definitely the pinnacle. J paid lounges are all very average in Singapore in my experience. @sudoer you are on the right track, lock and load the test run and we will be here to support you with lots...

    Cruising choices with an active Pandemic

    Agree and I assume they do, but like here in Oz I assume they will be limited to only high risk cases……. and to avoid a mutiny from 100 positive cases, I would fully expect they will find it easier to say “sorry we don’t have any” than “sorry your not sick enough and you can’t have it”…… but if...

    Cruising choices with an active Pandemic

    Yeah, but that is the risk most of are now faced with everyday in Oz……. You don’t have to isolate here, you can have COVID, go to a concert, shopping movies and it is only a “recommendation” to wear a mask if you decide to go out with COVID….. so crew wearing a mask, is better that what we have...

    Qantas Award booking

    Wow, you have set yourself a huge challenge to find RTW for 2.5 passengers with QF points, over school holidays…… I would love to hear how you ultimately solve it……. Just two recommendations from me, keep searching for just one ticket using the multi-citi tool to find an airline / hub with good...

    Qantas Award booking

    Break it down into sectors (after you have given up on you first direct flight check). Look at which airline appears the most in your options and then use their hub as the first destination sector....... using Vancouver as your desired destination and QF as your points, I use then use the...

    Cruising choices with an active Pandemic

    A bit further afield...... I get on in Aust, but will look out for you guys anyway :-) all ships pass in the night :-) and I will be up late, enjoying my drinks package as I heard that gives you COVID immunity :-)

    Cruising choices with an active Pandemic

    While I agree with JohnK - experts (non government influenced) do appear to be more conservative (and for good reason), I am still more aligned with drron, if I can find some like minded souls to “enjoy life again” I will be there. See you on the water drron (37 days cruising from April).

    QF6012 - A380 taking off & then landing in Sydney - what's this?

    Let’s hope it was a crew check and they have finally discovered that the crew are not serving champagne on boarding anymore and they came back to fix things 😀

    Amex Platinum Charge and Reserve

    I also saw it for the Plat Reserve, but after I applied for the additional cardholder, Amex rang back and started to tell me I applied for additional cardholder and that they were getting The American Express Explorer. I could never get a clear answer as to what they were doing and if they were...

    Newbie questions around booking first QF Award flight

    Definitely more challenging to solve, but there is always a way....... Singapore airways has plenty of availability to South Africa (inc J) if you want to enjoy the scenic route....... and if you truly love flying you can hop on UA metal and go via New York :)

    Best Annual Multi-Trip Travel Insurance in the new COVID World?

    Sounds like your best option then is to just trust the airline to do the right thing and get you there and back. Buying a ticket for insurance is an expensive outlay and you will have to pay full price fare on a full-service airline (no discounted fares and no discount airline) to get a cash...

    Best Annual Multi-Trip Travel Insurance in the new COVID World?

    From my research, single policy has better coverage (especially for COVID), so if you are only doing a single trip I would definitely go that way....... if you are looking to multiple trips in a 12 month block, the multi trip certainly a lot more economical. Also note most multi-trip starts...

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    Just went looking for a local QF Status Run……. Not much going….. Best I could find just now was 160 SC for $1,253. To Christchurch out of Brisbane (that is local enough for me).
