    Joining the dots to fly ADL to Osaka in August.

    Thank you both for your ideas - I was working on some options last night when I was told "it would be lovely to go back to Singapore for my birthday"!!!! Seems it has made the whole birthday thing a whole lot simpler. We both love Singapore and the food, and it's where we had our honeymoon, so...

    Joining the dots to fly ADL to Osaka in August.

    The flygirl has a birthday in August, and as she has never been to Japan, I'm trying to figure out the flights to get from ADL to KIX. The plan is to visit Osaka and Kyoto, but we need to slip down to Wakayama for 2 days (to keep the tax man happy!!!!!) I want to use QF as we have bags of points...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    QF 92 NOU to SYD is about 90 mins late due to aircraft late leaving SYD. I did some numbers this morning and we have done 29 flights on QF in Y, Y+ and J since the end of covid to USA, Europe, SE Asia and Pacific, and this is only the second delay we have had in all that time. The previous one...

    Hilton Honors discussion

    There are a couple of options on the QF website for suites with lounge access - guess its a matter of deciding on the lounge, if I book with QF, or hilton points if I book direct. The prices are about the same either way.

    Hilton Honors discussion

    I'm new to the Hilton Honors program but am enjoying building up the points. I have 2 questions. 1. Does membership of Honors automatically entitle me to the "Executive Lounge"? 2. If I book on the QF website for a Hilton stay, does that earn Honours points, or do I need to book direct on the...

    QF Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    So here is a new one for me. My wife and I are booked to Noumea and back in November this year. When I booked, I put in for J upgrades on all sectors. Last night, my J upgrade (on points) came through for the SYD-ADL sector. Maybe it is normal for others, but its the first time I've had an...

    Is toothpaste a LAG?

    Maybe a dumb question, but can you carry toothpaste, in a tube, as carry on? Currently in Los Angeles, and looking at re-arranging what I carry on to the aircraft. We transit through Melbourne on the way home. Alan

    Unable to find my seat selection on QF website

    Thank you so much - as I said before, I do know our seat numbers. Maybe I just like to "have control" over my booking lol. I'll send you the details as I'd like to try for bulkhead seats if they are available. Thanks again Alan

    Unable to find my seat selection on QF website

    We are now well inside t-80, and still only getting the window/aisle option. Guess we just keep checking back.

    Interesting experience flying AA.

    They were there at take off, and the FA sat in a jump seat right next to the seats with gear under them. I understand that this is the state of the nation over here - it just makes me realise how good we have it at home. Even JQ are better than this. Alan

    Interesting experience flying AA.

    I've just arrived in LA after a 3 hour flight from Dallas on AA. I have nothing good to sat about the cabin crew - they were disinterested to the point of being rude. We left at 11am and flew over the "lunchtime"period - our snak was a can of coke! We were also in an exit row and the woman next...

    Unable to find my seat selection on QF website

    This gets more interesting by the day. We are both SG. The booking was made by a travel agent in Adelaide. I was able to select our seats adl-mel and mel-lax without any issues, then we got upgraded on both flights to J, and again, I was able to select our seats inside T-80. My travel agent...

    Unable to find my seat selection on QF website

    We are booked on QF94 on July 22 and when I try to preselect our seats, I get the option of window or aisle. Its been like that for 2 weeks. We came over on QF93 which was a Dreamliner, and I thought we were going back on the same aircraft, but could it be that we will be on a 380 instead, and...

    QF Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Just scored a nice upgrade - QF690 Adl-Mel and QF93 Mel-Lax - upgraded to J on both and now in 1K and 2K for the 787 flight to LAX. To say that the Flygirl is impressed is an understatement!!!! Now to work out how to make the most of it!
