    QF codeshare added to Air Tahiti's PPT-SEA route

    We've had QF flights booked as part of our cruise from PPT next year. QF to AKL, a QF codeshare on TN to PPT and then FJ back to BNE from Lautoka. No matter what we've tried we can't select seats on TN. We're flying Y so would like one of the pairs at the rear of the 787. Can't do it via TN's...

    Qantas flights to Palau

    I suppose the question is - is Palau worth visiting? Enough to do for a week? Accommodation, for us, is expensive. Is it just because of low supply and high demand? We'll soon have direct access to the Cookies, yes, with that airline that those of us without limitless budgets fly. We love the...

    Scandi, Nordic, Baltic - A trip with a lot of firsts!

    I'll take the bait Seat0B. Hardly Jetstar. It's a good quality mainstream cruiseline. If you watch a gazillion YouTube videos like I do NCL is usually rated very well amongst the mainstream lines. As you've seen, we've booked NCL for our cruise next year from Papeete to Lautoka. Included are...

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    I'm not going to bother chasing this anymore. I'm just going to fly more to cover the 50SC. I'll still buy wine because, well, we like wine, but the rest will end up costing me more than flying. I'm hardly going to stay in a hotel in Brisbane to get a leaf and I'm also not going to fly around...

    General Cruise Discussion

    Actually Norwegian Spirit! We've watched a few youtube videos and very much looking forward to being back on a smaller ship. Hotel booked for Papeete is Intercontinental. I've asked for a hotel on Denarau as the first option provided is in Lautoka. Seats selected for the QF flight to AKL and...

    Tips on maximising annual leave to go overseas?

    I hate to say it but it is what it is. Your wife is not alone. We also have mandated summer leave over end of year that sucks up a whole lot of leave. I can purchase leave . If that is an option consider that. We used to carry some leave over from one year to the next to have six weeks but...

Received an offer of a 13 night cruise from Papeete to Lautoka plus Y flights and incl two nights in Papeete and Denarau for 8500pp in a balcony gtd. June next year. On Norwegian Star that had a bow to stern redo in 2020 and people love...

    Filling in some gaps in Spain, a Greenland cruise and I'm getting a tattoo!

    Nope, not at all Pushka. We did, but just for the architecture. We're pretty much a church free zone, catholic churches especially.

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    I know, it is. I ended up creating a ClearScore account but I’ve seen no increase in email or SMS spam

    Airline livery update - who needs one?

    A big disagree on this one. My favourite livery. In what way is the black fern not reflective of being NZ's national carrier? Maybe a stylised kiwi instead? The old two tone blue stripe ending with a barely recognisable koru on the tail was meh

    Bengaluru and Chennai. Hotel recommendations. Must see sights

    I don't think the Madras Grand Hotel we've booked is quite so grand :) We wanted station access and for that it's perfect

    Criss-crossing the Kimberley

    Thanks John. Loved the TR. As I mentioned it was doubly good for me as it took me back to lots of the ;places we went on our Kimberley trip in 2023
