It will be interesting to see what Emirates do with their lounge. It was big enough for 3 A380 departures from AKL-Aus. Now they are only running a flight to KUL-DXB. It looks like they will start a 380 non stop to DXB soon, but the lounge will be a huge cavernous space with just 1 flight...

I dont agree with you about the comparison with the Air New Zealand lounge. I always find this bleak and it often very busy and hard to find a seat. The outdoor area is nice, but I have only been there once that it was warm. Food and beverage comparison, the QF F lounge is much better ( the...

In the pre covid days, I had a few flights were I was unwell with respiratory viruses. At least one of those flights, I later found out I had Influenza. Back then there were no masks, no questions, just board with tissues, panadol, Otrivine nasal spray and wrap up in a blanket. Would I be able...

Hey Poochie, If you are traveling for business, you put up with all the cough. If you are travelling for personal enjoyment, the combined efforts of govt, airports and airlines are doing their best to take the fun out of travel. We just got back from AKL-SYD-ADL-SYD-AKL trip to see friends and...

Thanks for that. I will remember for next time. The flights look busy as expected though. Out of a group of 10 who meet Sat morning 1 has just been overseas, one is overseas, 7 have booked travel and one isn't going due to family health issues.

What a great thread. We were flying out of BKK with the 7 yr old daughter. Pre check in and the security asked us to go to a table to check carry on. There were about 6 staff and all the bags were opened at the same time. Suddenly the one opening the daughters carry on jumped back. Massive rise...

Thanks I know I am not match fit. Alan Joyce told us that. But it is a bit rich for QF ask us not to contact them because all the answers are on the website. At the end of the day at the airport, I can rely on cash for a coffee and a book.

The QF website lists these overseas lounges as open The Qantas International London Lounge, Los Angeles International Business Lounge (from 30 March) and Perth International Transit Lounge. And Some Qantas International First and International Business lounges are currently closed except for...

Thanks everyone The plan is sort of taking shape. QF had a really good business sale on dates we wanted, so we booked part of the trip. I did ring QF helpdesk to discuss points etc, but I couldnt get a clear answer and he recommended book online or would be charged the help fee. Fair enough...

Hi all So with the freedom to plan we are looking to get to Buenos Aires in September. Departing from AKL and on the QF website we can go AKL-SCL QF3877 SCL-EZE LA477 ( or maybe go to AES) Once in BA, we are thinking about a bit more flying. If we book through the Qantas website are the LA...

The regulations and uncertainty are making us cautious. We are looking at South America, so no issues with Ukraine.

I miss the old travel. I am not match fit and the rules are now as complex as the rugby breakdown laws. Used to be, Taxi to airport, flash the passport, go to lounge, get on plane, arrive, smile and get on with it. Now its read volume 33, amended 11/4/22. If a passenger is to board, the...

Thanks for update. I must have been confused about the old trans-Tasman flights. We used to be able to select row 4 then and I cant remember the last time we flew domestic in 737 Y.

We are looking forward to finally getting to Aus from AKL. Tickets booked, but when I try for seat selection there are some seats I used to be able select but are currently blocked. examples are QF741 SYD-ADL in 737 shows row 4 and 5 blocked. QF 145 SYD-AKL in 330 shows rows 23 and 24 blocked...

Thursday 31 Mrs K spent 65 min on hold before hangng up. Fri I spent 50 min on hold before needing to hang up Tried again this morning at 7.30 NZT. Waited 40 min but got through to a wonderfully professional human. Our issue almost sorted, but the wait is not acceptable

A great TR. I’m pleased it went so well

Noooooo

There is a small loophole. Ocean kayaks. If a flotilla of AFF left from Hobart, it would take a few weeks, so you should be exempt quarantine.
