    A bit of humour

    Well, let's look at the facts. The Earth is most certainly not flat. Just look around. There are lots of humps and bumps around. Some we call hills. Some we call mountains. Some we call valleys. They very much exist as real non-flat feature of the planet we call Earth and are 100% necessary to...

    Article: The Qantas Flights Where You Should Bring Your Own Food

    Do they double-cater the beverage cart for the return flight? I guess the red wine copes ok without refrigeration, but white wine, beer and soft drinks might be a little "warm" 25-hours after outbound departure. Does business class at least get a morning G&T or Bloody Mary or Bubbles with...

    Mrs NM's recent experience at BNE Int as follows: Outbound - morning of 01/01/2026, pretty smooth and quick with on-line check-in, both security and immigration no issues or delays. Was in the lounge within 15 mins of dropping her at the airport. Inbound - afternoon of 21/01/2026, long queues...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    ORC is only for involuntary changes. If you requested the change (or your TA requested it on your behalf) then it is voluntary and not involuntary and hence ORC is not valid for your scenario.

    One world becoming less relevant

    That is exactly what I did for AAdvantage award bookings and wanting to travel using my QFF Gold status for benefits. Was very simple to achieve when making the on-line bookings. And for programs like QFF where you need to identify the family relationship, I have either entered "Self" if it is...

    Solar Panel, Power & Battery Discussion

    Any way to Earn Marriott Bonvoy points? These can be laundered into AAdvantage miles. Laundering rate is not great, but may be better than purchasing AAdvantage miles. In Australia, some Amex credit cards provide 3x Amex Membership Rewards points per A$ spend at supermarkets. So buying...

    Forfeiting first leg of multi city itinerary

    And re-issuing the ticket REQUIRES that the fare be recalculated, including base fare, taxes and airline/carrier charges. The original fare for the original ticket will have been calculated in NZ$, and the recalculated fare will be in AU$. The re-issue is likely stuck in a queue somewhere due to...
