Travel now appears to be so confusing. And changing requirements can be implemented so quickly. If I flew SYD-LAX direct, it seems I need a negative covid test within 24hr of flying. What happens with transit? Is there a difference between a 3 hour transit stop and a 20 hour transit. Would you...

Found these, old Qantas playing cards. Still in working order, no battery charge required

What is the vapor trial here from? Christchurch, covid bubble pop. Was it a secret Chinese low flying satellite. Agree with you about hesitancy and extra expense with pre-departure tests. Friends in Cairns could get the test, but as the sample had to be sent to Brisbane it took a day to process...

We wish we had a private jet for PM and visiting dignitaries. We have been looking at this as a do-up. Lick of paint, new wings, engines and seats, couple of tyres. Should take a few of the lads a week or so to fix her up. We expect to see it up and running soon, fueled with cow methane. ( we...

great thread These live in my wallet. First family trip to NY and a ski "licence" for the tree runs in Japan. I am allowed to keep them as they dont clutter up the house

There goes the international holiday, again. We had booked AKL-MEL-CNS, then CNS-SYD and finally SYD-AKL, home by 15 Sept Interesting that last night Mrs KT got email saying QF had made a change to itinerary, but I have had nothing. We both looked at the change online and we were advised the...

I am sure all call centers everywhere have a special code message for their service stating "we are encountering unexpectedly high call volumes at the moment". Try phoning the council, hospital, banks, any govt dept, any garden or home improvement shop on the weekend, etc. And it is always...

From 11.59pm on Sunday night, quarantine-free travel will resume with South Australia, the Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania and Victoria. This decision was made “in principle” based on the current Covid-19 situations in those particular states. The travel pause will continue with New...

Testing people before flights is problematic. There was anecdotal evidence that several people came into NZ with a negative lab report while being symptomatic for covid and then testing positive here. Three possible explanations were that they were tested in an accredited lab and had a false...

It would be embarrassing if they had visited any ladies of negotiable charm during the weekend

As a rule of thumb for Australians Any medical event requiring hospitalisation is free including Emergency dept Any accident is covered for hospitalistaion and some recovery. But not repatriation. see ACC page...

but the music is so soothing

Thanks for update. Hope old service does come back. Current QF website says for international J had me worried Business services You'll be offered a hot meal and a complimentary bottle of water.

What is the trans tasman A330 J experience like now? Is the in flight entertainment, meal and bar service back? Not expecting Krug

I called platinum line twice yesterday ( Sunday lunchtime and evening)) for help with multi city booking. Took 40min both times to get through. But once they answered, the help was friendly and they seemed to take the time to personalise the call.

I have a memory of distant past where we could spend 4 hours in transit doing lounge hops, just because we could. Transit doesn’t have the same appeal at the moment

BNE, It wouldnt be my first choice to do a long haul and then have 5 hours in an airport with no lounge or shops. What was open and how did you survive?

What could you do for 5 hrs in the airport? Anything open for transit dirty passengers?

Is there any transit traffic through international airports? If there is, are passengers allowed into lounges and how would they be separated? Or are transit passengers kept completely away from all lounges and transtasman pax?
