    First reward flight SYD-LHR. Are my expectations too high?

    I'm thinking there were no award seats on Sundays between HBA-SYD, given this is in relation to a platinum release request scenario. I couldn't get a reward seat between CBR-SYD on the same booking in a similar situation- First class reward seat on QF1. Luckily, I could book a separate reward...

    CheckMyTrip Update - No more desktop access or ticket numbers

    New QF eTicket about 24 hours ago and no update in CMT. Itinerary was origanally added by reloc not forwarding email. Also 2 itineraries, again added by quoting the reloc, do not have the first flight when its qflink - connecting to a QF mainline. Coincidence? Who knows, but for me its a bit flaky.

    Article: The Pros & Cons of Different Aircraft Types

    I think that can be overrated compared to other variables. Worse jetlag I've had in recent times was after 12 hours on a 787 (in J), but with an uncomfortable seat equating to minimal comfort and shuteye.

    Qatar Check in at Singapore Changi

    Rarely a thing here, at the bigger ports here at least IME. Not much point not 'opening' the flights, given the use outbound APP.

    What border officials know about you

    TRS data not seen at passport control. If you are of interest because of TRS or anything else you'll be added to a watch list, the system asks the officer to confirm or not the match. Others do the follow up action.

    What border officials know about you

    A fair bit of it is incorrect for Australia. Relatively few people see PNR data, access to it is heavily restricted by law/ regulation. Primary officers ( those who process non Smartgate people), don't see travel history either. They don't want the staff there having a mosey through various bits...

    Oman Air joins Oneworld in 2025

    Given WY is in Oneworld now and this qf website says earn and redeem points on all oneworld member airlines, I think there is an obligation to allow earning of points for flying now. But this is QF after all, one might have to "earn" them by liaising with a service centre...

    Flight cancelled - and all because of a wine stain

    No VA, which on re checking did operate basically on time - 2015 departure ex Canberra (landed at 1930). About an hour after the QF flight scheduled departure time. On the surface it seems a bit odd as the fog seemed a lot worse around 2000 than at 1900, but as outlined upthread there are...

    Flight cancelled - and all because of a wine stain

    Exactly, I farewelled a family member on a 7pm flight last night and driving home thought geez this has come 8 hours early. Felt a bit like a spooky movie in our quiet cul de sac. Aforementioned family member wondered why he didn't see anything out the window just after takeoff.

    Qatar Airlines Booking - Passport Entry?

    I don't think there is a way to do that online via the manage my booking option, I've wondered that myself with a QR flight coming up. If they really need it before check in (unlikely I think with no travel via USA), they will contact you.
