    80 minute connection from QF to Cathay in HKG - doable? legal?

    And always take a change of undies, shirt, socks and any medication with you as carry on. If you miss the flight and cant get to your luggage, this makes things a bit easier.

    Revenue RTW Booking with Qantas. Changed - Now Segments Appear Cancelled

    for AA RTW helpdesk, try 1800 247 3247. Check your ticket Booking ref number. Qantas and AA seem to have different booking numbers and I had to ask a QF rep what AA and Alaskan were for their segments. This might not be relevant in your case. Good luck

    RTW Revenue Tickets

    An update on our RTW. It seems harder to book than previously The Oneworld booking tool is a travesty. It has error messages that disappear if you keep going, but then comes up with more rule violations that are no explained. The booking site tells us to use Jetstar asia and has the flight...

    Can anyone beat this emotional support animal?

    Emotional support animals. I know they can help people, but everyone has watched the US airline industry clamp down on them over the last few years. Dogs biting passengers, peacocks on a plane, a hamster flushed down a toilet as the owner wasn't allowed to take it on, miniature horses, pigs etc...

    RTW Revenue Tickets

    The problem is a good TA. One moved, 1 retired and the latest one double charged us and doesn’t think it makes any difference where you start RWT from. I have tried your suggestion and only used SIN on return. It seems to like that. So I am changing the start a little. Thanks for the help...

    who takes out travel insurance for trans Tasman or domestic travel

    Reading Karens story about a couple dropped in WLG instead of CHC leads me to ask, who takes out travel insurance for a domestic or trans-Tasman flight. I know some people have a year long multi use policy. But we have never bothered with this insurance. We think that the cost of any unexpected...

    RTW Revenue Tickets

    Did you book this yourself or through a TA? We havent done this in years. If we did book, can I go onto the oneworld explorer site and choose my "preferred airline" to get AA? We had a good TA then, but she has gone. The one I spoke to last week didnt know that starting in different countries...

    What does Fiji air offer QFF?

    Hi We are thinking about flying Fiji air as QFF. I knew they had a link with Qantas and we can use the lounge as WP. Are there any other benefits like seat selection or luggage?

    Oneworld Explorer ticketing

    Oh fonts of wisdom, may I ask a follow up. when you book xONEx with JL, can you still choose which airline to credit SC to. I am assuming you can. Years ago, we did a family RTW, then later a couples J RTW. I am having trouble remembering all the rules, but we had a blast. AFF was just as...
