    Using points to Solomon Islands

    If it's available to book with Alaska miles, it should also be available with Avios but you will have to call BA or QR to check/book.

    Qantas change fee to increase on 30 July 2025

    This increase didn't end up happening last year, but the domestic change/cancellation fees will now increase from $99 to $110 on 30 July 2025. https://www.qantas.com/agencyconnect/au/en/policies/ticket/guides-and-information/change-fee-information.html

    Using points to Solomon Islands

    If there's availability with Qantas, you can book with either BA or QR Avios but it won't be possible to book online! The reason for this is that QF flights don't appear on the Qatar Airways website, and because this route is operated by QantasLink, it also won't appear on the BA website. I'd...

    MEL-SIN Jetstar "J" OW $609

    I booked a similarly priced Jetstar "business class" fare on this route last year, and paid the $200 more for the Max bundle to get the 125 SCs (and some points). I thought it was great for the daytime MEL-SIN flight. Qantas wasn't that much less in Y for a one-way ticket.

    Why do you travel?

    Everyone travels for a different reason. What's yours? I realise that the reason to take one trip might be different from the next. So you could also answer this question in two parts: why do you take the trips that you need to take, and why do you travel when you want to?

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    Can anyone find the list of sustainable hotels? The link on the Green Tier page just redirects to the QF home page currently: https://www.qantas.com/hotels/campaigns/sustainable-hotels/

    Canberra lunch - Saturday 12 July 2025

    Called the restaurant, and it's all good. You've both been added to the booking :) The booking at Sammy's Kingston Foreshore is under the name "Matt" for 12pm on Saturday. Looking forward to seeing you all there. Just a heads-up for everyone that the restaurant doesn't allow BYO, unfortunately.

    How to opt out of adjoining hotel rooms?

    One thing I dislike with hotels is when you book a single room and get given an adjoining room. Sure, the door between the rooms is locked on both sides, but you can still hear a lot of the noise coming from the neighbouring room. Do the main hotel chains offer a way to state in your...

    Canberra lunch - Saturday 12 July 2025

    Oh, I might need to confirm with the restaurant. We now have several more people than what I booked for. I think it will be fine though.

    Canberra lunch - Saturday 12 July 2025

    Not too late. I might have to amend the booking if we get any more takers though!

    QF10 Jul03 delay question

    Good question. This seems to be the plane: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/vh-znf But Flightradar24 doesn't show how it got from PER to LHR.

    One month of free Super Duolingo for Marriott Bonvoy members

    I just registered for the promo and received a promo code for a month of free Super Duolingo. However, when I tried to apply the code, it insists you enter your credit card information and choose a plan to continue with after the trial expires. I guess it's not an issue if you remember to...

    Article: Priority Pass Lounges Adding Co-Payments

    I probably would have paid up to $20, but I felt that $39 was taking the piss a bit.

    Vancouver lounge for Qantas Business Class

    I flew out of Vancouver last night and can confirm that CX now welcomes Qantas pax. Was even mentioned on my boarding pass. The Cathay lounge was lovely - not that I expected anything less. Great noodle bar, runway views and two showers. Very attentive staff. A great place to stop in before...

    International transit - Sydney

    I believe she will be able to get her bag checked through all the way to Auckland, since it's all on one ticket. No need to collect luggage in Sydney during an international transit if it's tagged through to the final destination, unless she specifically requests for the bag to be short-tagged...

    Article: Priority Pass Lounges Adding Co-Payments

    I used Priority Pass to access the Plaza Premium arrivals lounge in SYD this morning. Inquired about getting a shower (which is the main reason I wanted to use the lounge after an overnight flight) and was told it's not included, but I could pay an extra $39 to use the shower. Seems a bit steep...
