    CATHAY to Codeshare on QANTAS Hong Kong Flights

    Thanks for this. I had forgotten about SIN-MEL on EK. Would still love to have CX onboard.

    Best ways to obtain sports tickets?

    When i lived in England it was just a matter of booking through the Lords and The Oval websites. This was a few years ago but you needed to register through the correct ground/club to be able to buy tickets (similar to how Football tickets are sold). Email updates regarding ticket release dates...

    CATHAY to Codeshare on QANTAS Hong Kong Flights

    Is there any chance this would mean that QF codeshares would go on CX flights? Am i daring to dream of a possible day time flight out of Asia with a QF flight number?...

    Pet airport lounge hates

    Static menus. I would love some variety in the buffet every now and then. Particularly at breakfast.

    Changing a flight - Airport

    Today I flew from Launceston to Melbourne and due to a change in plans Mrs wanderlust_tim and i arrived at the airport two hours early. Half jokingly I asked if we could be changed to an earlier flight and the check in agent said yes! The agent then gave me a spiel that due to the holiday...

    SIN-IST return in J on WY $2184

    I'd definitely leave the airport. Muscat is an interesting place and you could easily arrange a day tour to cover the main sights before taking on award journey. Visas are done on arrival and cost (well used to cost) around $10 from memory.

    Luxury Escapes

    Which then raises the question of why not refer to this or cut and paste the comment when the question is asked. Much quicker and easier as opposed to deleting and eroding confidence in the brand.

    Destinations to have a White Christmas

    I thoroughly enjoyed my White Christmas in Cappadocia, Turkey. I stayed in a cave and woke up to snowfall. The danger is of course that it may not snow. New Years in Moscow was a mistake, many things were shut for Orthodox Christmas. I visited Abisko in the Swedish Arctic Circle multiple times...

    QF changed flight time and aircraft (330 to 737) [Options?]

    I have often wondered whether it would be worth screenshotting the price difference between the aircraft upon booking and if a downgauge to a 737 occurs whether you would have any luck in arguing for a partial refund on the fare at the time of booking. Probably not, but maybe worth a go in the...

    Only if they met the weight and size restrictions at the gate, otherwise straight to the cargo hold ;-)

    How to make enemies...! [by weighing carry-on]

    Sure 10.3kg, I thought it was about 7 or 8. I would have checked it in but mum gave me a heap of preserves and I had images of various types of jam in my clothes!

    How to make enemies...! [by weighing carry-on]

    Weighed today on a 737 from CBR-MEL. It was frustrating, I got caught out and that's on me (should have read this thread before). In future I will carry a spare bag and take 2 bags. It seems that QF are trying to solve one problem but creating another entirely. I fully recognise that I was in...

    Car hire for dummies?

    Thank you will check these out. I'm 34, my partner is 26 so we should be ok there. I have just taken public transport when I have travelled in the past. Duly noted on the one way charges. I imagine we will be heading back to Launceston.

    Car hire for dummies?

    Hello everyone, Could I please get your advice? I am looking at hiring a car in Tassie for 2-3 days in early January. However, I have never hired a car before. Are there any hints or tips that I should be aware of? Any particular sites? We'd pick up in Launnie and then ideally drop off in...
