    eSims, what is your experience.

    TBH I haven't really looked at converting Telstra to eSIM - agree it is probably easy and will look into before I leave. I'll be away for 10 days, so any of the products that are around 30 days would be fine, so long as they have a UK number. Anyway, after many hours into the early morning...

    eSims, what is your experience.

    Good idea but my physical SIM slot is taken up by my Telstra SIM and I don't have time to go through the process of converting to eSIM. In the dark past I used to have two phones - local SIMs for home and visiting country. Have to leave those dinosaur times behind lol.

    eSims, what is your experience.

    Thanks SYD. GiffGaff plans are a bit cheaper, will also see if they can ask my specific questions.

    eSims, what is your experience.

    Thanks RealtimeY. They look like good plans but information about how they work is pretty sparse (but that could just be my inexperience with this). I'll send their support an email to ask the specific questions I'm hoping their plans will address.

    eSims, what is your experience.

    Could I get advice from members here about my upcoming trip to the UK and what my telcom/data needs are? Have a new iPhone 15 Pro Max, which I transferred an existing Telstra physical SIM card to (i.e. has my Australian number). Most of the time I'm away I will have access to WiFi and in the...

    Experience with A380 Seat 16A

    Yes! This is exactly why I like 11A (and I assume 11K is the same but I've never sat there). Hopefully 16A has the same footwell arrangement.

    Experience with A380 Seat 16A

    Thanks Justin, that's very useful. The map seems much more detailed than QF's own map on the A380 specifications page. Thanks jb747. Seat selection in MMB sort of implies it is located at an exit as it is coded green as an "extra legroom" seat. However, I realised when looking at the QF & now...

    Experience with A380 Seat 16A

    Wondering if anyone has experienced seat 16A on the A380. Seat selection screen shows it as an extra legroom seat. I think there is a galley between it and the first door on the upper deck. So, would the setup be similar to 11A for example? I've only travelled in the front half of the A380...

    Qantas Lounge Gold Coast

    Had the unfortunate experience this Tuesday of turning up at OOL 2.5 hours before my morning SYD flight planning to do some work in the lounge and have a half decent coffee. As reported here, lounge not open and there was a sign near the door listing the flights & times that it would be open...

    Travel Pass Expiry Date Extended

    I couldn't say for sure. However, I am planning to not register for the double points just in case. My last remaining DSC travel pass will be used on a booking to be made soon for travel sometime post February 2024, and I am banking on the DSC coming through. The last travel pass I used on a...

    SIN First Lounge access on arrival?

    Back with an update. Visited the Singapore First lounge on arrival from delayed SYD flight connecting to QF code share to Koh Samui (USM) operated by Bangkok Airways (PG). Explained to the lounge agent we had just arrived and could we access the lounge as a WP using my boarding pass for the PG...

    SIN First Lounge access on arrival?

    Thanks Serfty. From my bit of digging I thought the interpretation was a bit murky. I missed that little asterisk which now gives me a little hope that I might be successful. Flight is not until September but I will report back as to outcome.

    SIN First Lounge access on arrival?

    Wasn't sure if I should post a new thread or bump this one. A similar question to the OP but as it relates to arriving on QF coded/QF metal flight connecting to a QF codeshare flight operated by a non-Oneworld airline. As a WP would I have access with a guest to the QF lounges in SIN? (The...

    20% bonus Qantas Points from credit cards [targeted, with personalised minimum points earn for 3 months]

    Mine did eventually come through but seemed to be on a later processing cycle than everyone else was reporting. I would assume if you were going to get them they would have posted by now as the three month period is well and truly over.

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Yes, after failing to see the flight combos on the VA site, I tried clicking on the "Book with Virgin Australia" button and it just showed the booking page with a list of flights for the outbound trip to select (both non-stop and connections via MEL, but not the flights as shown on Google). As...

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    I am a complete newb as far as booking Virgin flights, so hoping someone might have some insight. Trying to book some flights for 200 SC's. Started in Google flights and found some good business fares for SYD-LST (via MEL) & return with reasonable flight timings. However, when I try to book...

    A question about the rollover of DSCs

    Is this new in terms of the rollover process? The SC's that rolled over for me as part of the last status extension did include DSC. Wondering if QF have changed this for latest round of status extensions.

    Will Qantas in CFS check bags through for EK flights next day?

    If you want to maximise time in the lounge airside I would advise checking in as early as possible for the 6am flight. My partner took that flight recently and the queues at check-in were very long. Business was not too bad but still a queue. The kicker was security as everyone was funnelled...
