Apologies to those who are getting this off Facebook too. JQ 787 Celebration Sale experience today: utter rubbish. I paid for Club Jetstar last week ($39) in order to try to book a $178.70 fare each for myself and Mrs WIH CNS-KIX on the '787 Celebration Sale'. Site would not accept the...

Hello! Long time, no post! I will probably write up about our weddings earlier this year (two weddings, two countries in 8 days) and the horrors that went with the travel logistics of that excercise, but at the moment, a more pressing issue: I am trying to organise the bones of our...

After some heavy personal cough that happened over the last few weeks, I am planning my next vacation jaunt to where I want to go and doing what I want to do, and my only obligations are to be at the airport on time. :cool: So as a humungous nerd, I thought I would go to NZ and do some Lord Of...

Looking at something for the June holidays... Potentially thinking CNS-LAX-SFO-JFK-CNS. Tried to price it on the QF website - keep on getting "Cannot Find Itinerary" errors. What does that mean? Also am wondering if I would be better off going to a TA and finding out about a OW Pacific fare...

Can I get QFF points from Travelex even if I don't order the cash online? Like, if I just swing by on the weekend and say "Morning, chief. I'd like a fat wad of Yens. How much will you swop me for this pile of Aussie plastic funny munny?" can I then slide my shiny QFF chit under the security...

Just trying to find some details on the JQ website about excess international baggage, and the rates for prepaying. Any ideas? Very hard to navigate/understand. I can only see the details for at the airport charges, not for buying before hand. I lost most of my personal belongings in the...

Just tried to price a ticket on JQ and couldn't get to points + pay. Once the QF website determines you are going on a JQ flight it dumps you off to the JQ website to complete the transaction. Any ideas?

There is a possibility I might be living and working in Cairns next year. Tell me about it. I've been recommended that it might be better to live in Palm Cove and commute to Cairns proper.

What's the best way to coughsmack a cold away in 3 days? Caveats : Still have to work.

I wish to take the FMWIH's dad a selection of Australian beers what you can't get in Japan. Can I transports beer in checked luggage? Which is better, cans or bottles? How should I pack them? Whilst I understand cargo hold pressure is the same as cabin pressure, what about the temperature...

I have a few questions (I have emboldened them so that you can pick them out amongst the rest of the post). Just thought I'd see if i could book my seat allocation for my June Japan adventure (not really adventuring - spending quality time with the FMWIH) and found out that I have been...

Is it just me or are there an awful lot of one off posters or first time posters using a blog to post rather than the forum? And by that I mean, posting something in a blog that really should be a forum post rather than a blog post.Is there something that can be done? Examples : How can QANTAS...

Tonight on SBS at 7.30, Richard Hammonds Engineering Connections is doing a show on HKA. If you haven't seen the show before, he looks at all the complex things involved in the project that is being focused on and breaks them down into basic engineering concepts. I like it.

Alrighty, looking at some special travel for two in January, 2012 potentially. CNS/BNE-LAX-???-HAV-???-LAX-NRT-BNE My questions - How do I get to Cuba? All I've found so far is flying Mexicana via Panama. Am willing to sub LAX for YVR if it's easier... - What's the legalities and deal with...

I reckon it's about time I posted a trip report on AFF. I hope that mine can live up to the high standard of other posters. Here goes... The Trip Details/Plan As some of you know, I spent a few years living in the wild north of Japan before returning to Australia. My GF still lives in Japan...

I'm flying into AKL for a conference on a Friday in November. Flight lands at 2.55pm and we are supposed to be assembling at the Britomart at 4pm. What's the best way to get there? Also, how long does it take to exit Auckland airport? I am anticipating I will only have carry on luggage.

So I have QF NB. If I fly on JL metal on a JL ticket on JL flight number will I earn points with a QFF card or do I have to join JAL Mileage Bank too?

Okay - here's the scenario : GF will fly from NRT to BNE or OOL , departing on Dec 18, arriving Dec 19. We will both fly SYD-NRT, departing on Jan 1 (we'll be doing Sydney Harbour NYE). I will return to Australia on Jan 13-14. What's the easiest way to get this combination considerfing the...
