All depends on the fare rules. In this case, for simple returns, you are correct, pretty much gone, but if you are playing with other fare types, such as DCIRC22 and the like, that still only require ticketing 25 days before departure, there are still some things that can be done when booking...

Options 2, 3 and 4 are all valid - and with the pros and cons you have identified. For option 1, you have forgotten that adding the return leg and repricing will incur the change fee - and suffers from the same issue as options 2 and 3. For what its worth, the evaluation comes into the...

There does need to be some differentiation maintained, otherwise sales of J and F would drop. Full recline was all that was asked for, nothing about actual comfort or utility - needs to maintain that Economy ambiance.

I am afraid that you (via your Travel agent) made the change in routing, so you would not be eligible for ORC. If Qantas made the change, then you would be. The fact that QF booked you on a 30 min scheduled connection, obviously with the fall back to 9 hours meant they were going to fly your...

But it is already available self serve...

The "To upgrade Travel Class" cell for the first International should just match the domestic. It has no real meaning anyway, other than to confuse, as the actual terms and conditions make things quite clear.

Are you referring to the Domestic or International table? Domestic doesn't mention "Economy" as a word, but has Red e-Deal and Flex, which are the normal domestic economy fares. If you are meaning it is missing the economy fares sold as domestic legs of international flights, then this would...

Short answer no. Slightly longer answer, not unless they are paying a whole lot more - close to business class. Think the all J SQ set ups. Even longer answer - it is not practical even if it could be marginally economic. Comes down to number of passengers, and density / weight. Need a...

For Hong Kong, and 24 hours (or really anything other than late night to early morning), don't be constrained by the airport. Hop on the MTR and stay on the island or in Kowloon. The intown check-in is ramping up again, makes it easy to get back (if you didn't have luggage checked through or...

Nothing airside (unless you count a Cabana in a lounge), but the Regal is connected to the terminal. Snap - beaten to it.

You might be very lucky, but I wouldn't count on that always being the case. They could well argue that a misconnect due to a delayed flight on separate tickets is something that might be expected, but more importantly is not outside your control - as you could have made the booking on a single...

Be very careful about that - most travel insurance won't cover a misconnect on separate tickets due to a delay, and neither will the airlines. That is why it is highly recommended to leave a large layover, preferably overnight if using separate tickets. All on one ticket, then the airline is...

For "direct" flights (not too much mucking about) - that Turkish combination can be had in combination with Qantas for $7,633pp or if you use Jetstar to SIN it comes down to $7,115. The routing for Jetstar is Sydney - coughet (Jetstar) - Istanbul- Prague (all Turkish), and the return is Turkish...

More information would assist. What would you consider a "shorter" leg - and does it make a difference if it is day or night? How much extra time are you prepared to spend - as unprotected connections might save money, but should involve a much longer "connection" - ideally overnight? What...

Remind me to never go near that TA. I know QF have a reputation for being expensive in J to Europe, but over $100,000 per ticket is a bit rich,, so the TA must be making a killing. Or is $400+K some weird notation for something different?

Once it is under airport control and IRROPS occurs, just about anything can happen. Many years ago there were 3 of us on 2 separate tix, one paid J and the other two of us successful upgrades to U travelling SYD-HKG. This was back when the 747 ruled the sky. One 747 went tech, and the bird we...

Why bother with movement activated - just put the sprinkler on so that they have to get wet to get into the car. Bonus points if you can arrange it to so that when they open the door, the sprinkler actually sends water into the car.

Mostly - but there are some exceptions. Different marketing carriers having different ticketing deadlines can sometimes (I can remember one specific instance) be useful to the customer. Circle Pacific fare - JL required ticketing (and hence payment) pretty much straight away. but the CX...

Agreed. I imagine it will have something to do with the transfer to airport control, and the online MMB not interfacing to that system.

Is this a possible explanation for the phenonium of a few bags only arriving early, then a long wait for the rest? Presuming that priority is being given to connecting / transit bags, a first set of bags are unloaded - either a trolly load, or however many containers have connecting luggage...
