Sorry to post again but just realised that by choosing the right destination in Europe I can actually in theory get a 22 hour stopover in DXB (God knows if this will actually work though) by getting an early morning (eg 0430) flight from DXB to AMS/CDG/FRA. A few questions: - Does the lounge...

Damn. D'oh!

Takayama! There's a cool museum of 80s kids equipment there - old school retro gaming consoles, some of them unique to Japan. Plus it's within daytripping distance to Kamikochi - a premier hiking area where the main trails are easy and short enough for families with young children to enjoy (even...

Just wondering has there been a refurbishment at the QF international J lounge in Melbourne yet? I know pre-renovation it was one of the weakest lounges in the network, is it worth consuming a Priority Pass visit at a different lounge?

Late May. I expect it to be HOT. Is there aircon on the Dubai metro? When do the shops open in town?

Okay. It seems that it is, at least in theory, possible to book a flight from HND to DUB via DXB with a nine hour layover using the Qantas website. But I do not have enough points now because it is with my former Finnair booking. Do I need to ring up? The FJ positioning flight does seem to be a...

Maybe I could take advantage of Fiji Airways cheap one way deal to Tokyo and then spend a day or two seeing bits of Japan I have yet to see. I can't see them serving Japanese food on FJ though haha

Oh, there actually are. They just didn't appear on seats.aero last time I checked. My bad. So if I buy the max pack from BNE-NRT I get lounge access to the QF international lounge in Brisbane? I'll have o think about it. When you say smaller in flight menu options - you mean fewer options or a...

There are no redemption flights ex HND for the time that I'm going, as far as I know.

Boo!

I'm hoping to not check in baggage at all! (But do Jetstar strictly weigh your carry-on?!?) Jetstar won't be an award ticket - I'm happy to pay $609 for the hop between MEL and SIN. Alternatively, I could head home for a few days and then get a redemption ex HKG, is the CX F lounge in its...

This sounds like a petty question but how long are the airline lounges willing to put up with you "abusing" their lounges? If I checked in online then presented myself at 7am the previous day with a boarding pass that read 0140, would they let you in? I would imagine airlines, especially Qantas...

It says the 0050 departure you can check in the day before, but it doesn't say anything about the 0140 departure.

If I go on a first class redemption flight from SIN-DXB on the redeye leaving at 0140, how early can I potentially check in (without checked baggage) and access the EK lounge and QF J lounge (if at all) in SIN? Bonus question: What is the probability of Jetstar flight MEL-SIN being cancelled...

I assume your leukaemia is CML (chronic phase) or CLL. Or are you in remission from acute leukaemia? In any case, best wishes for more health and long life!

Dear all, I currently have a booked redemption on Finnair for PVG-HEL-LHR on 5 June next year (in time to go to the Lounge Crawl next year). I have 82k QF points left, the only redemption I can meaningfully use to get to PVG is on CI from BNE-TPE-PVG for 75k points in J - on May 30. Currently...

For spring 2026 some dates you can go from Melbourne to Tokyo via Nadi on FJ for this price, presumably you also get some thousands of QF points and a fistful of SCs (exact number not known). Heard mixed reviews of FJ J but for the money I believe it's not a bad deal.

Well that's what happens on short trips! Just go to the ticket window, trains to Suzhou run every 5 minutes. For the stingiest of stingy misers it is now possible to travel from Shanghai to Suzhou entirely on the tube for a total of something like Y15. In air conditioned carriages.

Potentially at this stage Easter - Perth (WA) June/July - Ireland, Isle of Skye, Iceland, Greenland Nothing really booked except Asia-Europe sector for LHR lounge crawl 1752281836 Cam, Japan isn't great in June, as it's tsuyu (plum rain) season and it rains virtually every day. But the island...

Flew Hainan Airlines from PEK to TLV in April, and then Qatar Airways CAI to DOH, both economy revenue fares. Attempted to claim for VA points as I have not credited them against any other airline's miles scheme, but have not been successful. Have you had similar experiences?
