    US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens [from 2025]

    I am in the exact same situation as you. I asked the CBP person when I added my E3 to GE and was told that the kiosk would assume I was entering on the visa (even though I also have an ESTA on the UK passport.) I am going back to the US tomorrow so will try and let you know how it goes.

    Qantas orders new 787s and A350s

    A350s are so nice to fly on, and I hate dimmable windows. As long as the loos have windows I’m happy. The 2-4-2 of 330s is nicer than 3-4-3 in though.

    Detailed Seat Plan

    There is no charge to move to an exit row after check-in (not sure if this is domestic only?) I really like Aerolopa, though it does not specify about in-armrest IFE for the 737s. https://www.aerolopa.com/qf-738

    I'm in the QF Lounge thread

    Can guest into QF int J in SYD from about 1900 this evening. Also would very much appreciate in a +1 to F if anyone is there… An aside, do the QF lounges stay open for later OW flights after the last QF one or do they arrange other access? (Or nothing at all!?)

    The bathroom tap is always there… though I obviously wouldn’t use it in countries with less than stellar water treatment.

    Compensation scheme coming to Australia?

    Adding to other examples, I had an AA flight from LAX-BOS in December 2021. I arrived on a seperate ticket from NAN on FJ, which was delayed, then had 2+ hours in LAX immigration so missed the AA flight completely. This was all my fault for not giving myself enough time to connect...

    It seems like IHG properties have gotten “better” at not automatically giving points if I choose another benefit. I feel like last year I seemed to usually get them even if I chose drink vouchers.

    How to find out whether my income is enough for a credit card application?

    No formula. Some banks list a minimum income but ime you can still be approved with income below that. I try and stagger applications so that by the time i am meeting a spend requirement for a SUB, a new card is on the way and i can cut up the old one to start the 12 mth cooldown. Just apply...

    A review of the reopened Qantas Hong Kong Lounge

    I went on the 30th and the squid was excellent. Seems that the bar won’t do proper coughtails as I was told a martini was too alcoholic… They managed to make one at The Pier but it was served in a rocks glass with ice!

    QF127 just now diverting to CRK in Phillipines. Unsure of reason. Hopefully QF lounge in HKG open later than usual tonight for my CX flight. QF web says diverted to MNL, QF128 now scheduled 2105. Doubt that…
