I have dual AUS/UK citizenship but have been living in NZ for the last ~14 years and over COVID decided it was time to become a citizen there (a relatively easy process for an Australian - something that ended up being quite helpful as I had to leave NZ during COVID to visit my very sick father...

Came across this video today. 1st half is an interesting walk through of some parts of a decommissioned BA 747-400 that most of us wouldn't normally get to see.

I had an AirNZ return flight to LHR (via LAX) booked for the end of April. A few weeks ago I got an email from AirNZ saying I could cancel and get a credit/voucher in return. I followed the link in the email to their website and clicked the button for "Cancel + Voucher" (or something like...

Hi All, The wife and I are flying AKL to LHR via LAX on AirNZ 777-300 in May. I am aware they offer the SkyCouch product, but they want more $ for this return than the cost of a 3rd person's return fare. I was wondering if AirNZ will sell me a 3rd "comfort" seat at normal cost minus taxes (or...

I am scheduled to fly from AKL to WLG at 7am tomorrow morning on Jetstar. There have been a few news reports today about an incoming "big storm" with mentions of 140km/h gusts expected in Wellington area. Now as I am about to go to bed I see that AirNZ have already cancelled all their AKL-WLG...

Hi, Sorry if there is a separate Jetstar forum for such questions: I use Jetstar for a lot of my domestic flights within New Zealand as I find they are often 1/3rd the price of AirNZ (AirNZ seem to apply a pretty big "avoid flying with Australian airline" tax to their fares) and in my...

Hi All, I can't find another thread about this already. The union representing the AirNZ jet fleet hanger/line maintenance staff is planning to strike for 3 days from 21st December. This presents a risk to me, as if they can't agree a way forward during mediation, it could leave me stuck in...

Hi All. I have done a bit of googling, but can't find an answer to this anywhere, so thought the brains on here might know.... I am flying LHR -> AKL next week on Qatar in business class. As such, their website tells me I am allowed a baggage allowance of 40kg with a 'Maximum Dimension' of...

Just visited the WC in the Melbourne International Terminal QP. Seems the loos are now supplied with 1 ply loo roll. Surely this is the bottom of the "enhancement" idea list to save money and if this doesn't work they declare bankruptcy? Not to worry, the joke is on Qantas as I just took...

Firstly, not sure if this is the correct place to post this, if not can somebody please move it. I had a thought this morning while reading a thread about chairman's lounge membership and dreaming about what I would need to do/achieve to get there myself one day. I wondered if any of the...

Let me introduce myself. I am a long time reader but first time poster. However after enjoying many TRs, most recently the current edition by QF009, I though it only fair I give it a go. Why now? Well my route of Sydney - Kolkata (Calcutta) is the first trip I've made since reading this forum...
