G'day Fellow AFFers, it's time for me to have another crack at presenting a TR. The genesis of this trip came about from a cancelled (Due in part, to a change in employment) 2023 Ashes trip (Old Trafford - Manchester) where Mrs. CM and I had planned to meet up with a mate of ours and his wife...

Well, here we go again. 3 years between visits and a year to the day that I was originally booked to head over for a mate's 60th birthday. I'm sure we can enjoy a few beers together for his 61st 🍺🍺🍺 All up I had 4 overseas trips cancelled during Covid 😷 and only managed a week in NZ in between...

Just taking a quick week off and heading all over the place. Let's see how it turns out. You never know who you might run into ;) It's Friday the 13th and I'm booked on QF2403 EMD-BNE departing @ 8.25 allowed for a couple of hours in the QP and then a separate booking QF712 BNE-CNS where I had...

G'day folks it's been a while. Well in my case it's been 738 ✈️ 🤔 yes 738 days since I've departed Oz 🌏 I booked a J fare to NZ as soon as the DSC promo reared its head and booked Mrs.CM on a J Classic Reward. Some of you may remember my home airport is EMD which they have spent a few million...

One for @juddles & @JohnM 🏆 Had a little chuckle to myself when I saw this just now at MKY AP 😂

Just landed in BNE and was advised my next flight to NTL had been cancelled. Qantas has rebooked me on VA After fetching suitcase form Baggage services I headed over and booked in with VA and was offered upgrade to J for $200 so I took it ;) 🍺 couldn't be bothered walking from QP down to gate 41...

Well it's time to venture out again from the thriving metropolis of Emerald Central Queensland. This trip came about because I hadn't had a chance to buy my wife a Xmas present. Being 100kms out of town and often on the road for work and possibly a bit slack I was empty handed come Xmas morning...

Well it's time to have another crack at a TR :D I thoroughly enjoy reading and learning from everyone else's trip reports. I'll hopefully add something of interest for others. Starting at the usual departure point of EMD in Sunny & dry CQ. The QF regional lounge is steadily getting worse now the...

On Christmas Day I managed to snare 2 x elusive J Rewards SYD - JNB :D so I then tried to book JNB - DUR and get halfway through process and then it just goes nowhere! Does BA's (Comair) count as OW? After this screen it lets me type in JNB - DUR and then nothing :confused:

I have an upcoming trip BNE-HKG-DAD-HKG-BNE next March in J and have secured the BNE-HKG-BNE legs. Can I book HKG-DAD-HKG legs via QFF awards preferably in J flying KA ? Ex-HKG 03/03/19 return 09/03/19. Regards CM

Recommendations please AFFers. My boss is very well travelled but has never been to HKG and is looking for your top picks. He will only be there for 4 days so wanting to make the most of it. Budget is not an issue. Cheers CM :)

Looking for some advice on best way to get to DAD next March (first week) ex-BNE. Wanting to use OneWorld award all of the way if possible in J as carting golf clubs. Can go via any Asian hubs if necessary and can pay for intra-Asian ticket if required. Cheers CM :D

Righto folks I'll have a crack at a second TR : EMD-BNE-MEL-LAX-PHX drive to LAS drive to LAX-BNE-EMD So the start of a 2 week trip begins in the tropical paradise ;)of EMD (Central Qld) on my least favourite plane the dirty old Dash 8 - 400 on QF2405. Having been too busy with work to put a...

Stayed at ibis BNE Airport last week on the way down to NTL it was Thursday and room was $150. The place was chockers! Had a nice pork belly noodles and a few glasses of red while watching Brisbane Broncos get destroyed by St.George :( Room was fairly typical ibis with a slightly more Novotel...

Has anyone seen or heard about this previously ? China now owns Australian airport after paying $1 for 100-year lease Merredin airport in Western Australia is effectively under the control of a Chinese government enterprise, prompting outrage in aviation circles, as safety concerns shut down...

I am asking for some friends who have been offered these flights. Can anyone give advice or pass comment on their experience with RJ ?

I'll be knocking over a few firsts on this trip so I thought I might share my experience with my fellow AFFer's. I flew down from EMD last night and booked in to the ibis budget Brisbane airport as my usual haunt the Novotel Airport was fully booked!. So this morning a quick shuttle trip and a...

Hi all I don't have a huge amount of experience with F lounges but does anyone think that MEL is better the SYD FLounge? My humble opinion is SYD is far better. Must say I have been a little disappointed. Anyway of to board shortly. Regards CM :D

I have some friends accompanying us on this trip in April. Question is they land in MEL @16.20 and EK flight to SIN departs @ 18.00 is this possible or far too skinny? Allowing for the fact bags should be checked through.I have never departed AUS from MEL before and am not sure about the...
