The first international upgrade is always the best. Got to BKK on way to LHR, checked in and walked off. About 5 min later I heard my name on the speakers asking to return to checkin. Being new to flying I had no idea, but got a shiny new boarding pass to J and a visit to the lounge. So happy...

The view from Auckland. There have been contradictory calls last week about Covid testing. The ministry of health asking for more people to test if they had runny nose etc. But local hospital policy is just test if you are at high risk of exposure, ie travelled or contact with a traveler. Last...

Some will not bother to fly while there is no service and no lounge. Hopefully an incentive to open up, in a safe and cuddly manner. On the cuddly note, making sure everyone is comfortable.....is painting a QF jet in indigenous colours the same as blackface now?

there is so much confusion about gloves and masks and covid. A recent European study looked at the risk of infection if you were in an infected household. They came up with a figure of 20% chance. At the same time we know covid can be passed on by minimal contact such as using a contaminated...

AIDS hit a long time ago. I cannot access all the reports from media at the time, but I recall the very few patients having AIDS being placed in negative pressure rooms and full PPE being required. Privacy was often given a lesser priority as it was thought staff needed to know who the infected...

Covid is not a simple condition to fix. Since it appeared we have been overwhelmed with scientific reports on the virus. Many papers are not peer reviewed and are being rushed out to help other scientists put pieces into the puzzle. So there has been some confusion in the media about mutations...

Well, as at this moment....I called a friend at Air NZ. His belief is yes they can transit. But....things are changing

I’m glad your safe and home

Did you send Jeeves over to Auckland by sailboat recently. My local just sold a man $2000 of gin. seriously thinking ahead

Hi Stevo did you end up going?

Get him home. If he gets to LAX and VA cant get him on, what are the alternatives for that day or next day? QF? AA? Anyone else flying LAX to anywhere in Aus that day if he misses the VA flight? Argue about costs with anyone left standing next month

Will you be let into SIN?

2 tourists arrived into NZ yesterday and went to a hostel, booking a private room. The hostel manager talked to them about when they arrived and their plans for self isolation. When they couldn't give a plan the ministry of health were rung, the police turned up and they are now in enforced...

After the first 3 days of any isolation, with a supply of Rockford wines, will it matter:cool:

For entering the country, the theory is that if you do not have symptoms of a virus ( cough, fever, sore throat, lethargy) you will not be contagious. A person could catch COVID in LAX yesterday and it could take 7-30 days to become "active" with that person then spreading the virus. So they...

With so few flights on, perhaps QF could sell tickets for a Syd / Mel open day at the airport. There will be lots of planes on the ground to look at, empty lounges to walk through and lots of underworked staff as tour guides. They could custom the tours for CL ( Lansen on the bus tour and a...

Has anyone had difficulties with transit at airports? Will other countries follow the 14 day self isolation and implement that for anyone landing at the airport? Is the Australian self isolation required for any one, or are Aus transit exempt. In NZ I dont think you can fly to the pacific...

Auckland hospital has cancelled all international travel for staff on business, conference or education. They have also said they will pay staff on 14 day self isolation unless they have been on overseas travel from yesterday. So, no first lounge this month I am sure there are many others who...

I saw this. It doesnt answer your question exactly https://www.heathrow.com/connecting-flights/flight-details?flightIds=QF001,EI151&flightDate=2020-03-17 I imagine you will need to collect luggage from QF in T3 then walk or catch bus to T2. If you're not on the same ticket, you might be able to...

Great question. If you dont get an answer here you might try flyertalk.com. Must be someone there who has already tried this
