    Is there a QF codeshare SIN-HEL?

    I'm planning a family trip to HEL next northern winter. I currently have QC and Silver, so can only access lounges at Syd and SIN if I'm on a flight with a QF flight number. We want to break the flight in SIN (night at the airport hotel) because we think that with young kids it will better match...

    Bangkok baggage storage

    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...

    Fees for changing an AA DONE4

    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...

    Sightseeing close to LHR

    As part of a DONE, my wife and I are flying JFKL-LHR in early July and connecting LHR-JNB. Originally, we were scheduled to take the first leg overnight giving us nearly 12 hours at LHR before our second flight (BA055) at 19:05. However, we have decided that rather than spend a day in the BA...

    100ml liquid rule and chiller packs for transporting medicine

    According to the rules, it appears that you can take 100ml of liquids in a clear bag, but my wife requires prescription tablets that must be kept refridgerated at all times. Previously, we have taken it in a small collapsible chiller bag with a number of frozen gel ice-bricks and for long...

    AA Q-points across the Atlantic

    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...
