I recently returned from a USA holiday and rented a car for 18 days through Turo in Los Angeles. The car provider was LA Auto Spot who have a fleet of different vehicles. The entire process was positive and I saved several hundred dollars compared to the usual rental providers. I also got to...

Thanks !

Hi, the family and I are flying QF 94 LAX-MEL on 23 April at 10.20pm. What is the earliest that we can check in with bags ?

Yes I would do the same if Qantas Hotels can't help.

All on reward points as well ! Is it too early to order a Bloody Mary?

A family of four international upgrade is fantastic. I wish we had more good news Qantas stories on AFF !

Good luck, please let us know if the family gets an upgrade.

Hi airstriker given your flight is in a few days what exactly are you trying to ascertain in relation to the chances of a four passenger upgrade ? Are you prepared to separate one or more passengers from the booking and only request an upgrade for them to maximise the chances ? I agree with...

Thanks everyone! Kpro's technical response makes sense. The QF noise cancelling headphones need to be powered for the noise cancelling to work hence have power AND audio pins. While I would be able to plug them into my device (with or without an adapter) the noise cancelling function will not...

Hi I have two forthcoming flights on a QF Boeing 787 in premium economy class: MEL-LAX-MEL. It is my first time in this class. Do the complementary headphones only fit the in-seat input socket which I suspect is 2 pin or do they also fit a single pin device such a tablet/phone? I have my own...

I find Qantas Hotels to be generally competitive with all other third party booking sites. Sometimes the bonus points can be huge although sometimes the price is higher during a big points offer. I usually don't cross check beyond booking.com but always cross check with the hotel direct and...

Do other airlines fly from ADL to Kangaroo Island on that day ? I also agree with justinbrett, ask the hotel for a date change. Surely they can resell a Saturday night that is several weeks away?

Yes JohnK in my experience the points are credited after the hotel stay. Does anyone else know better ? BTW I often find when there is big bonus point offer with Qantas hotels the price of the hotel is more than compared to before the offer.

Dr Ralph if you are concerned about reliability given your big road trip just book a late model Japanese make preferably from a fleet type provider ! There are however many individuals who are precious about their cars and will have good maintenance. Turo do not require an international driving...

The booking must be paid in full. There is a 100% refund with minimal cancellation notification required. I usually rent with Avis hence I am also considering a back up booking with them. Turo clearly does not suit everyone however apart from travel passion I am also a motoring enthusiast and...

Hi I have booked a car through Turo for 18 days in Los Angeles days commencing early April so can report back later. However for piece of mind I booked with LA Auto Spot who are a major business with an extensive fleet that only rent through the Turo platform. Dr. Ralph not sure where you need a...

Hi I have a QF93 flight coming up and I am not clear in relation to your comment of a 12 hour delay on February 24. Both Qantas and Flight Aware are showing the scheduled 11am departure time.

If you have millions of points lying around then using them as points plus pay to offset the full cash fare whether in part or total is not necessarily a bad thing. Yes the value is not as good as a reward seat but it is not as abysmal as some make out.

You should be able to book QF JNB-SYD reward seats via the BA points program. If a particular flight does not show up with reward seats as you suggest that means in most circumstances that they have already been taken by someone else. JNB-SYD is a very sought after reward route.

wow that is good ! Did you have to forfeit 6000 points per passenger for the cancellation ?
