Appreciate all the contributions to this thread. Three questions if I may. 1. Can the EVOA only be applied for sub 14 days prior to arrival? 2. Photo. Is there an ideal way to get the photo right or does the system crop it to size for you? 3. Family. Can you go through one single...

No, I know. I had seen it mentioned earlier in the thread about asking for a change. I dont intend to ask as I expect a fee. The fare I booked had this as the connecting flight all on one ticket so its perfectly allowable. I am comfortable with it. I only worry about my bags really and even then...

I have a connection time of 50 mins which I understand is the MCT for SQ at Changi. The on time performance for my aircraft in has been very good but of course it only takes one delay. There are a few earlier flights I could get to make things more comfortable but would SQ actually move me for...

Is SQ offering it across all their flights now or is it still limited to a350?

Jase05. You might be right. But the last time I checked the ferals cash was as goos as anyone's and fares on the route are hardly bargain basement.

Thanks Airwin. Breathlessly repeated and amplified by our mainstream media all desperate to nuzzle at the Qantas teet. Those lounge privileges must be something.

What is the incentive for an airline like Jetstar to run at or close to time. I have, out of curiosity, watched the JQ on time performance of ite afternoon Bali departure from sydney. Shocking. Disgraceful. Consistently delayed. And quite significantly so most times. Do Jetstar even care...

How rigorous are the lounge keepers with children? Technically, a status holder is entitled to one guest when travelling on a JQ flight number, but do they enforce that guest and count children in the overall allotment? The rules suggest they do but I wonder if it is enforced in practice or is...

The on time running of JQ on the SYD to DPS route is absolutely woeful. Often not even close. Will these removals impact on time running?

I just wanted to say thanks to all who have contributed since my post. Some very useful tips esp the QFF tip. I would prefer to stay hotels but given the prices where they are sitting (and for what is being offered) it is impossible to justify. So i will give Airbnb a go.

Travelling Europe late 2023 and have been quite astounded at the prices of hotels including ones I have stayed at before. So have now looked to airbnb and it seems much more palatable. I am fairly new to it though so quite nervous. Any tips? I have been making sure to read the reviews and only...

Can confirm Y prices to Bali at Xmas are through the roof. Needed to get to Bali for a positioning flight and certainly paid a premium for economy on Jetstar. Just hoping that I arrive reasonably close to day of booking given the performance of JQ on the route (ive left a few days gap between...

I have to say I am quite stunned at some of the prices Euro hotels are trying to gouge for in Winter. Hotels close to triple the price of what I have previously paid. Despite my searches there seems no relief in sight other than star downgrades and even then the prices are inflated. I taken up...

Is the common view that for someone who needs their aussie number active and capable of receiving both calls and SMS that the Vodafone $5 day option is the best plan? Traditionally, when travelling, especially in Europe, I would find a local sim and plan and load that onto my phone for the trip...

Trying to beat the Australia Tax and decided to get up to Bali and then take a business class flight from there to LHR and open jaw it back from Rome.

Thanks QuickStatus and Mel_Traveller. I have done the transit through SIN pre pandemic and it was a seamless experience. But post COVID it is good to know it remains as seamless as ever. You are right Quickstatus there is another LHR flight about 2 hours after my one so if there is a delay I...

Evening All. Has anyone had any recent experiences with connecting through SIN with a fairly tight connection time? I am flying from DPS to SIN then onto LHR. It is the same ticket. SQ. The connection time is 50 minutes. I understand that is right on MCT for SQ. How are baggage transfers...

The privileged seat that Qantas and its management are afforded is disgraceful. Actively avoid flying them now especially after my own flight credit issue. I would have gladly given away a small portion of it in order to book something but no Qantas said I had to pay more on top to use it...

I have a flight credit. It is going to expire. The restrictions on its use and capacity restraints on travel for me (let alone the cost of flying QF) have not worked out. It is alot of money down the drain. I have for some time actively avoided QF and that future will now intensify. The notion...

Thanks Syd. That is great. Thanks for the tip. I think ideally I would be able to position so that the return leg from Oz to EU was around Xmas time (and the return from US to CGK) was around Jan. The challenge is whether it can be done for a reasonable price. Hopefully with the outbound of...
