Is anyone able to assist with load factors in J on the following NH (ANA) flights: NH: Syd to HND on 3 July 2025 (8.55pm departure) NH: Syd to HND on 4 July 2025 (11.50AM and 8.55pm departure) NH: HND to Syd on 11 July and 12 July (either departure). Any idea on what the upgrade bucket...

Whats the play here? Alaska does seem to have genuine availability. But I am nervous sending a whole heap of points out without an immediate use to park in Alaska. What are peoples experiences with Alaska?

Whats the thought processes on VA availability on QR? I am VA Platinum but doubt it means much. Are seats, if any, being released very close to time?

Trump will claim a great deal and that will be the end of it. Soon. Perhaps. Who knows? Although airfares might drop to the US (hopefully in the premium cabins) the decline in the Aussie Dollar might significantly offset any savings when you arrive. I have debated a trip there in recent times...

Looking into a potential future booking, I see the good people at QF are asking for $15k for a return J flight to DFW over Xmas. Sure, peak season and all, but ridiculous pricing still. CX for half that price and a much better product albeit up via HKG. For all you USA FF which airport do you...

Recent experience in an international J lounge where some tool decided to play his tiktok stream on loud speaker for all to hear. He would often play the ones he thought funny on reptition several times. All while having his feet perched up on the chairs.

Cannot comment on the QF business angle, but I have had no issue on J in CX or SQ internationally with a carry on suitcase (sitting around 10kg) and a backpack. I have never been questioned about this when flying J. In fact, the only time I was pulled up with such a configuration was JQ Y on...

The Hyatt in Sanur is lovely. The food options within the resort are decent and the prices were reasonable as well. It is also easily walkable along the beach for other options or out into the township. I found it a better option than the Hyatt in Nusa Dua (having stayed at both).

Recently booked two separate hotels and instead of selecting two people and one room selected two rooms and one person. Rates were non refundable. Pleading with the hotels commenced. One was great, the other took a bit more work, but resolved it in the end. One room with two people secured.

It says Terminal 3. Its Cebu Pacific which I understand uses Terminal 3?

Has anyone gone from Domestic to International at Terminal 3? Flying in on a domestic flight and then transferring to a CX flight. Tickets are not linked obviously. Have given about 4 hours transit time. Wont have checked baggage so hand luggage only. Do I have to exit the terminal to go up...

Business. I am not especially worried about status credits on oneworld or crediting points to QF for the flight given the fare difference between what QF is charging anyway but avoid booking OTA generally so am hesitant.

How reliable are expedia for airfares? I probably trust them with respect to hotels but slightly more cautious with airfares. There is self interest in the question. Currently pricing some very attractive fares on Cathay via Expedia that I cannot replicate with Cathay directly. Normally I...

I think coughpit Casual is fantastic and I eagerly await his releases. His business partner Captain Bedbug (Bob) is fantastic as well although his is mainly confined to TikTok. Dennis Bunnik has been a long time subscription and although his background music is repetitive, Lounge Index, has...

I also think its great to have something else to KL.. 1726125699 Thanks Yacthy!

Is there a way to find out which days TK are operating out of Sydney? Not seeing what days anywhere and noting it is only four(?) times a week to commence with. I was hoping to see if there were some competitive fares especially via KUL in Dec/Jan. Just managed to find something on the TK...

Thanks Matt. Shame about the 15 Dec cut off. Will price out nonetheless to see if of value.

Thanks for the tips all. For those interested, CX seems to have some decent J pricing around late Dec. $3.5k out of Sydney is not too bad. What is Christmas like in China? Mass tourism? It wont be CNY levels but curious if western new year is just as busy.

Thanks Mel_Traveller. Appreciate the tips and suggestions. Based out of Oz Cruiser. So travelling from Oz hence the q about whether the visa situation for tourists (sans family) might be easier.

Genuine question for the China regulars. Do you need a guide/driver for Shanghai. I imagine the metro is sufficient so no need for a driver but what about a local guide. Can you cut it with translation apps on your own or do you really need someone to translate/guide for you? Where would people...
