any of the twin seats are fine

your choice - can be tagged to Singapore if you need bags landside or can be tagged through to MEL

I would not rush to join points club, the benefits are relatively underwhelming....

this is really annoying - and Qantas/Emirates should fix this up. Clearly if you are a QFF you are more than likely to have in your booking your Qantas number (especially if QF codeshare), even if your are also skywards member. Even flying J or F, you cannot access wifi with the QFF number in...

Certainly had no issue a couple of Fridays ago, was on 12noon to SIN - I think after the flights to NZ go, there is only the JQ and then QF to SIN

I have found QR in the air great - on the ground - not so great. Try getting into a partner lounge using VA status...

the 777-200 business class is quite spacious in the 2-2-2 config

yes that is get a room territory - cheap hotel near the airport which has flexible check in/check out times is Holiday Inn Express - they have a shuttle - it is 'sort of' opposite Terminal 3, but not easy to walk to - although from memory I walked back from the hotel to the airport through the...

Not offered on QF35 today...

use a overseas friendly card - such as 28Degrees or HSBC - you will get pretty close to the bank exchange rate on the day for all FX transactions. Using your 'normal' visa or mastercard will provide a poor FX rate plus additional charges

AY normally tickets pretty quickly in my experience if booked online. If it a non-online route and was booked over the phone (ie some domestic Finland destinations) it can take longer as the system may not have the taxes correct. Note AY taxes and charges are pretty low compared to some other...

ferry is the way to go Tallink seems to have the most luxury vessels, although depart from Harbour West which is a little bit out of CBD (10mins by Uber) - normally around EUR30 one way and if you do day trip is around EUR45 return - so may be cheaper than the taxes on the AY flight. Viking is...
