    Travelling with Two Seperate Tickets

    See https://www.qantas.com/agencyconnect/au/en/policies/book/baggage/interline-and-through-checked-baggage.html QF will do it when you have a separate ticket on EK, but in general most airlines will not do it, sometimes not even to a separate ticket on themselves.

    Qantas Pay (former QTMC)... lots of problems of late

    I don't see why it wouldn't work anywhere that takes mastercard but there are very few reasons to use it in the first place

    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    VS is a failed airline that is being propped up by DL, they are in no position to even think about this (although that won't stop Shai). BA maybe but they seem to be giving up on Asia and letting QR (an IAG shareholder) take over..

    Qantas Pay (former QTMC)... lots of problems of late

    Debit card loads work instantly and with no fee at the moment I only use this card for an insurance payment which earns nothing on any of my other cards but gets a few points here

    No more secondary gate screening on Australia bound flights from certain airports?

    When was this because as I posted before, the searching on the airbridge stopped in 2018 (in my and my family's experience). I have flown to and from HK very frequently for the past 25 years except between 2020 and 2022 The UK, EU and HKG still only permit liquids in containers less than...

    You have to do this in most of the world

    IHG Confirmable Suite Upgrades

    Which of the Sydney CBD properties would be best to use a CSU? I have one voucher that I haven't been able to use and it expires in a month. I am IHG Diamond. I live in Sydney and have no time to fly anywhere, I also recently stayed at Voco Hunter and CP Canberra (which gave me a suite anyway)...

    No more secondary gate screening on Australia bound flights from certain airports?

    The gate confiscation of liquids at HKG on Aus-bound flights stopped in 2018

    Thought they were good, but IHG one is in fact, The Pits

    The stay will post after a week or so. This delay occurs at IHGs in many countries including Australia Happened to me several times

    IHG Hotels that recognise status

    I recently stayed at CP Hawkesbury Valley as a Diamond Booked cheapest room at an average nightly rate of $210 + 1.9% card fee Received King One Bed Suite and diamond free breakfast. Also 15% off food at the bar/restaurant, but all IHG members get 10% off. I paid using a non-Australian credit...

    JQ payment at check in required

    I suspect it might have to do with some error in currency conversion of taxes / fees, perhaps if the booking was not immediately ticketed and the exchange rate changed. This shouldn't really happen when you book directly with QF/JQ though. Did you ever make any changes to the booking?

    Entry requirements for Caribbean islands

    You mentioned the trip will start and end with flights via the USA. When you go through the US using an ESTA and subsequently go to Caribbean islands (as well as Canada and Mexico), for immigration purposes the US considers time spent there to be time spent in the US. This becomes a problem if...

    Credit Card Fees

    I have yet to come across a business surcharging more than 2% for Visa and Mastercard anywhere in Australia. And the only place I know apart from Hiltons that surcharges exactly 2% (legally or not) is a Chinese restaurant, which only does it to encourage patrons to pay in cash. But on the...

    2024 Hilton Status Retention

    Interesting. While your interpretation and the above email from Hilton makes sense to me, the consensus on flyertalk is the opposite. That is, as per your previous post, the Gold renewing gold would have 5 roll over, but the Diamond dropping to gold would have none. Has your account updated and...

    55 minute layover at HEL

    Not a problem at all. Entering Schengen is a different matter

    Best Qantas CC for an overseas Aussie who is returning home temporarily?

    I am in a similar situation (will be moving back to Aus permanently later this year, but a few extended visits first, to look for property etc) I've gone for the HSBC debit card which gives 2% cashback on contactless transactions under $100. They will open the account from overseas and deliver...

    Can LHR lounge change FFP?

    I'm QF NB and BA Gold, flying QF2 tomorrow. My BA number is in the booking but I would like to put my QFF number in instead Will the LHR lounge staff be able to change it so that I earn QFF points rather than avios for this flight? Or should I try asking the staff at check-in? Not sure if LHR...

    Fuel top up con

    I've been renting from Hertz SYD once a year for many years now, and never had a problem. I do keep my fuel receipts but they never ask to see them and are happy to mark the tank as full from the dashboard indicator... Once I got some scratches and showed the guy but he said not to worry. I was...

    Qantas Cash Card

    OK, so this Daily Rate thing is rather interesting. As far as I can see, it was incorporated into the T&Cs/PDS dated 21 Oct, so not sure why they have suddenly sent out an email about it now. All Mastercards use Mastercard's exchange rate, which is usually the same in both directions, but leave...

    AVOD / IFE box in Y

    I haven't flown QF Y in a while, but will be on QF98 at the end of the month. This is an A333. Last time in QF Y I recall there was an AVOD/IFE box really restricting legroom and preventing me from putting anything under the seat in front. Does anyone know which seats these boxes are under, or...
