Warsaw: - The Jewish Museum of Poland is the best Jewish museum anywhere in the EU - Warsaw Uprising Museum is also a must see - Eat lots of pierogi/dumplings! Also visit Krakow and Gdansk! With an obligatory excursion to Auschwitz, hopefully you'll get a rainy day like me to recreate the...

Welcome to AFF and safe travels. "To everything, churn, churn, churn There is a season churn, churn, churn And a trip to every nation under heaven."

I plan to travel with carryon only. The Middle East is warm enough in May to not need to pack parkas. But will Qatar ban me for life for carrying out this manoeuvre?

I've just booked a DOH-MEL-ADL J redemption on Velocity, without realising that it's on the same plane, involving a 7+ hour technical layover in MEL from 10.30pm until 5.40am the following morning where I want to just get off and nix my last segment to ADL! There are no redemptions available to...

Gold plus for me. Somewhere between Gold and Platinum

Still Gold for me. Trip to Britain and Scandinavia pencilled in for June 2026, will I still be alive and solvent then?

When I try to redeem a Qatar Airline flight online through Velocity Rewards from Europe to Asia, I find that I can only do redemptions through to Denpasar, Bali (e.g. DUB-DOH-DPS). Is there a reason why other routes are not allowed/ can only be booked as two separate segments? Can calling up...

Paid

A bit late, darling. Paid for the booking already before knowning about this offer.

Booked a VA flight 1500 for MEL-SYD Will try to get out of work a little earlier, maybe 1300 or even 1230

I will in all likelihood take a prebooked Uber from work. Waiting for a bus is potentially time wasting. It is the one time where it is not worth the savings. My question is does having AC Gold Status give you priority baggage on VA flight such that you bags arrive before those of ordinary...

There's no equivalent international flight from MEL on that day, and the next flight from MEL-TFU-FCO (or the one the night before which isn't realistic anyway) costs more than double what I paid for. 1500 or 1530 departure from MEL to SYD are probably the only realistic options

Whatever fare is available. But I don't want to talk about worst case scenarios. The earliest I can leave the Melbourne CBD realistically is about 1340 hours (where I am just outside the Skybus terminal). You do the math on when I should book flight to Sydney. I've only ever been delayed once...

A question I would like to ask is, if your airfare is cancellable with a small fee, can you cancel your flight for a refund even at the last minute (before departure) but at a point where you already know you won't make your flight (eg 1.5 hours before departure)? I think if the worst happens...

"What if your flight from MEL to SYD is significantly delayed on the day?" Well then things look bleak. I'd have to stump up for an overnight to somewhere in China and then somehow to get Europe, all likely in whY. Ain't something I want to think about, but there is no chance I can get to...

My following flight to Rome is on Sunday the 15th of September September 11 is an unlucky day anyway, when it comes to aviation.

(1) no (2) Sichuan Airlines to Chengdu, 3 day stopover then to Rome

My big LSL trip starts on Wednesday September 11. My main international flight (in business class) departs Sydney at 8.20pm, but I am still at work in Melbourne that morning. What is the latest time I can realistically arrive at Sydney domestic airport earlier that evening, so that I don't miss...

Slow travel is wonderful for those who can viably do it. I can't until I'm retired (and no longer need to look after my elderly parents). I wonder if I'll still be robust enough to do that then.

Dear friends, I have 2 days in Tuscany this year on my grand trip in mid-September, arriving from Rome and then heading onward to the Dolomites. I have previously been in Tuscany before and done the Cinque Terre, Florence (only the Uffizi) and Pisa. I am staying in Empoli, half an hour from...
