    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    And it’s one thing that can’t be changed. QF can issue fresh FF numbers. After the Optus hack, SNSW gave out new Drivers Licence ID’s to affected persons, making the stolen data much less useful to bad actors. But a DOB can never be changed. If an organisation leaks that, they should be...

    What's your golden travel rule?

    People boil their soiled underwear in them. They’ve also been known to cook raw chicken in them. https://au.news.yahoo.com/gross-travel-hack-hotel-guests-wash-underwear-in-boiling-kettle-36865532.html https://www.mirror.co.uk/travel/uk-ireland/man-called-unhinged-using-hotel-28663552.amp

    What's your golden travel rule?

    Largely agree with what youre saying. There is a middle ground here. People sometimes seem to think the only alternative to HLO is travelling like Imelda Marcos with 10 suitcases and 500 pairs of shoes. HLO works for some trips, but it's definitely not a one size fits all solution. For...

    Bags do take a lot of punishment. Best considered as a consumable that lasts about 5 years Any more than that is a bonus.

    Newbie flight advice Brisbane to London after Christmas..Thanks!

    I dont think PE will be possible at that time of year within that budget. So, then it's a matter of finding a "good" economy offering. A previous poster mentioned Emirates A380 and I'd back that suggestion. Decent spacious cabin, quiet aircraft, good air quality Emirates is a very good...

    Classic and Classic Plus domestic availability quirk

    I thought that was how it was supposed to work? Basically classic plus is offered when regular award seats are sold out. Is that the model?

    QF2 diversion to Baku

    The above discussion was referring to the suitability of Pakistan Note GYD is Azerbaijan rather than Georgia. It's yellow, but so is france. I wouldn't have concerns. In saying that, I would have no concerns about Georgia either though.

    QF2 diversion to Baku

    Clearly I'm not suggesting the pilots would be performing detailed country risk assessments on the fly. That's for the bureaucrats. Diversion airfields and countries will be categorised in advance by the airline and the relevant authorities. This will be based on detailed assessments of the...

    QF2 diversion to Baku

    It's the overall safety of the country. Reckon a western airline would divert to DRC, Yemen, Afghanistan or Somalia for a single medical incident if that was the nearest airfield? I doubt they would, unless it was a 10/10th's emergency like a fire, engines out, etc. This reads like victim...
