My wife and I are currently in Europe and return to Australia mid-next week via a 24 hour stopover in Bangkok. Unfortunately she has back problems and may need drugs to help with pain from the long haul flights. However, her tablets are banned in Thailand without a long and complicated process...

Having managed to lose 20kgs over the last 6months, I desperately need some new suits that fit me. Since I am headed to Singapore next week and then onto Penang, I am hoping to find a tailor over there where I can get some new suits made up. Does anyone have suggestions how to find a good...

Hi, I have booked a flight from PEN-SIN in J with an MAS flight number, but the flight is a codeshare operated by SilkAir. I have gone around in circles trying to understand where I should accrue any points I can get from this flight. I am Qantas WP, so understand Oneworld, but am discovering...

I am currently on a DONE4, commenced in mid-March. As suggested on this site, I booked with AA to avoid $+++. In late April (while in the US), I rang AA (once) to change my itinerary from CBR-LAX-ORD-SFO-ORD-PHX-DFW-JFK-LHR-JNB-WDH-JNB-SYD-CBR to...

I am considering my options across the Atlantic NYC-LHR in early July connecting onward to CPT. The flight options available to us for the first leg are (1) several BA flights JFK-LHR on a 777; (2) several AA flights JFK-LHR on a 777l or (3) JFK-STN on an AA flight on a 763. We will be...

I am having trouble understanding the AA scheme, with miles, elite miles, q-points etc. According to the AA web site: I will be flying US-LHR-JNB after 1 March. Does the above mean that I won't get points towards status, or merely that I won't get as many miles that I can subsequently use...

I am planning a RTW trip for my wife and I starting in March. I have read a lot of the really useful ideas in these forums, but am wondering whether anyone has any additional suggestions that I might have missed. We are considering either the One World Explorer or Global Explorer in business...
