    Bus class award seats with Qantas FF points

    The Qantas release date is for Gold Status and above Frequent Flyers. It's about half that for lower levels. Don't know about partner airlines.

    Luggage from Sydney to Canberra

    Sounds like it's either stumping up for extra bags on VA or the one way rental car (noting your post in the middle east thread about being too old for coaches). Given the length of drive to CBR on top of long flights, it's not one I'd do with a risk of micro naps kicking in especially once the...

    Qantas does Vegas direct

    I thought QF were losing money on this (not enough pointy end and full Y paying pax), hence flick it JQ. If this is correct why reinstate a loss maker so soon after ceasing services?

    Article: The Airports Offering Convenient In-Town Check-in

    My experience last May, no, but there was no waiting. By the same token there was about half a dozen people checking in on any airline at that time (around midday).

    Friday 13th unlucky for Qantas

    Fairly self explanatory, when APP ( or APIS choose your acronym) data it s sent to Singapore they do a watch list/visa check and send a response back to the airline - ok to board/ do not board. If they uplift a do not board passenger they cop a fine. I'm surprised it's taken this long for...

    My most recent flights on QR (Sept/Oct) DOD was not specifically mentioned by the crew as an option - if asked they said yes but not proactively offered. Previous flights (admittedly pre COVID) it was offered when the taking the drink/food order after or before takeoff. A one off crew not...

    When will Australia get modern entry procedures?

    Having passed through BNE yesterday using the electronic declaration and having professional experience in that environment, I don't think the current process used at Brisbane could be expanded nationally. Firstly, at the ABF scanning point after bags collection it was noticeably longer for...

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    Sounds like your booking wasn' t re- ticketed in time (assuming you didn't receive a new email with eTicket after the changes), before those airlines cancelled those sectors on the booking, QF at fault. Some airlines impose a very quick deadline for ticketing of award bookings. Effectively your...

    Qantas starts international wifi

    Or airline PR gilding the lily. I'm shocked such a thing could occur. A close family member did have it on their flights, but only free if you're a QR frequent flyer, or sign up in flight.

    When will Australia get modern entry procedures?

    All info can be used in the right circumstances for any risk assessment done at the airport ( these days not as much as days of yore). If someone says their occupation is x does that fit with the rest of their information and/or story. If not what is the real story of their travel..... Is how...

    When will Australia get modern entry procedures?

    Well if you answered my shoes are clean, then they believed you.,. Like they believe it when someone says they only have chocolate and no fresh fruit. Risk assessment at work. I've been the 'wrong' end of that nil action taken after queing and mixed my connecting flight, frustrating but post...

    When will Australia get modern entry procedures?

    I imagine the 'gatekeeper' was ABF- they should not action the farm/ national park question. It needs to be AQIS.

    When will Australia get modern entry procedures?

    It is 61. That includes cargo only carriers and what some would consider double ups - eg Air Asia and Air Asia X are separate.
