I still have the option between two redemptions for my trip next year. On the one hand I can travel directly to the west coast of the USA on QF J, but I still need to get from MEL-BNE on my own ticket. It would cost 108k points. Or I could take JQ J from MEL-SYD-HNL for a mere 61k points. I...

Attempted to do a dummy booking today to see whether it would work, it did. Then tried to start over (thereby undoing the booking) when it got to the payment page. When I did that, the refresh screen was white except for a message which said an error occurred. (I did not enter any credit card...

I am thinking about flying JQ from SYD-HNL as part of my next trip (one way). On the dates I plan on traveling (September), the fare is approximately $2000 + $200 for a Max bundle. Is it worth it knowing there is no flat bed? Should I wait for a cheaper fare ie a sale? Do you get two meals on...

For my planned trip next year, the rarest of miracles has happened: Qantas has a classic J redemption available on the day I wish to travel! Praise the Lord! Unfortunately, things never work out perfectly. There is only a redemption available flying out of BNE-LAX rather than my home town of...

(1) If you catch a Qantas domestic flight in J after 8pm, say at 8.30pm, not a redeye but getting to the destination the same evening, do you get served dinner or just a "snack"? (2) On a flight from Melbourne to LAX departing in the evening and arriving at sunset the same day, is the first...

I went to Japan and USA this September and October. A brief summary of my trip: MEL-SIN-NRT on SQ (J): I thought the food in the SQ lounge in Melbourne was great, better than I had experienced in the past. Both legs of the trip were good but the lounge in SIN was very crowded. NRT-LAX on SQ...

Following from my previous Qantas customer service woes thread, the current situation is this: my last cancellation of redemption points eventually resulted in my points being refunded after 3 phone calls over 3 weeks, however, after 4 phone calls, my Qantas Credit refund request has still not...

About 7 weeks ago I called Qantas to (1) get my Flight credit refunded and I also cancelled a redemption booking online. 2 weeks later, my flight credit was not refunded and it remained on the system. My points from the redemption were not refunded even though I did get my taxes back. I called...

Managed to get a FJ redemption from SFO-NAN-AKL in business with a 12 hour daytime layover in Nadi for early November for ~ 90k points. Taxes were minimal (75 USD). Will probably stay in New Zealand for 1-6 days before flying back to Oz. There were no seats of QF for months either side. Has...

Hello, wondering if anyone here can help here. I am booked to go on a trip to the Middle East and South Africa in October-November this year. All flights have been booked, and I am spending some time in the USA first. However, I have just been notified of a 40-day Holland America cruise to...

Does anyone know, is it possible to get on a widebody flight domestically with PE hard product seats? (Still Y service). Which routes if any is this possible for?

On a somewhat light note, what is your favourite entrée (errr...... main dish) that you have ordered on Singapore Airlines Book the Cook - out of Singapore? Out of Oz? In J? In PE? Are you aware of any other airline that has a similar service? Are special meals (eg "low-fat" or "seafood")...

Heading to the USA in early October from Japan - landing at LAX at about lunchtime and hoping to get on a flight to the East Coast that night. Has anyone done the redeye across the States in either United's Premium Plus (premium economy) (~$600) or in lieflat bed ($1200)? I will have to pay for...

Just wondering has anyone here plan to fly to China in the near future? I am weighing up a trip to see my family. Starting on 29 April they have got rid of PCR tests but you still need to do a RAT test in the two days before departure. Does anyone know can they be self-administered or do they...

Does anyone here know whether they can use money on a Qantas Pass on a Jetstar booking?

Anyone flown Y from Tokyo back to Oz lately on QANTAS? I did so in 2008 it was too long ago for me to remember. Are mask rules still enforced? Do you get both dinner and breakfast and are there any lounge options for Tokyo (with priority pass or for a fee)? Many thanks

Decided that I am finally due for a trip home to see my family. Flying MEL-SYD domestically and then SYD-KUL-HGH on AirAsia flatbed, leaving SYD at 2045. What is the LATEST time my domestic flight can arrive in Sydney for me to make the connection? What is your recommended time? I don't want to...

May be having 1.5 days (Saturday lunchtime to Sunday night) stopover in Bali later this year. Would like some suggestions as to how best to spend this time as a first time Bali visitor. Not interested in the drugs / sleaze scene. Many thanks!

I regret to have to moan about a not-so-good predicament I now find myself in regarding my SQ redemption booking. This is a prolonged saga so I will get on with getting down the details. 1. Originally I booked an F redemption from MEL-HKG-SFO for June of this year about 11 months in advance...
