I'm WP and about to fly MEL-SYD-DFW for the first time with QF and was wondering about checking in of luggage. Can I still use the International First check in at MEL to check my bags all the way or do I check in domestically for the first leg? Do the bags get checked in all the way or do they...

I'm going to take advantage of the Companion Sale to fly J MEL - JFK in January. I also want to request an upgrade to F. I'm flexible with the day I depart so what's the best day for an F upgrade? I was thinking Tuesday or Wednesday or does the F cabin fill up in early January? Does anyone know...

Can anyone tell me why I can't see any flights from MEL - HKT over Christmas? I thought you could book flights a year in advance? Am I doing something wrong?

My QF094 A380 flight LAX-MEL on Sat 18 June was changed to a 747 thereby making me lose seat 80A. I currently have seat 52A selected (B&C are both available). 53H is also available. Is there a better seat than the bulkhead I should select? Seat Guru says there is limited legroom in that row...

Firstly a good travel insurance story. My mother and I were meant to return to Melbourne early January but she fell ill Xmas day with septicemia. She was rushed to hospital, spent a week in ICU, another week in a normal ward and then moved to a rehab care centre where she is now. The infection...

I've looked for threads pertaining to this but most are quite old. My question is about whether anyone has used their Australian iPhone (unlocked) in the US and purchased a SIM from one of the local carriers for use with both data and talk. I need it for 3 weeks. I've heard that AT&T have a...

I'm thinking of booking a flight over Christmas from JFK-SYD on the A330-200 which I understand stops over in Auckland. What's the aircraft like for a long haul? I'll be travelling in Y but being WP hope to get a good seat selection.

OK, quick question - flying to LAX on QF 093 this Sunday then on to JFK on QF107. First time there as a WP so what should I be doing to maximise the experience? Is there only the one lounge to use at LAX? AFF tags will be prominently displayed at all times (if that helps)!

Does anyone know the code to put in to Ticketmaster for Amex Preferred seating for The Addams Family Musical? For US users you enter the contact number on the back of the card (anyone know that?) - for overseas users???

In another thread I wondered whether I could upgrade from Economy to *class from Narita. http://www.frequentflyer.com.au/community/qantas-frequent-flyer-program/changes-jq-departure-upgrade-prices-18077-21.html I asked at the airport and the CSO said that it wasn't possible due to the Japanese...

What's the reason why Jetstar doesn't appear on Expert Flyer or Seat Guru? Is this common with LCCs? What airline on Seat Guru has a similar aircraft layout to Jetstar or is there somewhere else with this info?

I'm halfway through an online survey I received tonight. Some questions include: Which one of these would you choose for your next trip visiting friends or relatives in London? Qantas Economy @ $1910 Eligible for reward points/miles and tier status points at half usual rate Duration/Number...

I'm travelling out of LHR T5 tomorrow with 2 guests on a BA flight. I have a QP Complimentary Invitation as well as being WP. I've been searching through threads and seem to think that I can can only get 1 guest into the Galleries lounge at T5. What are our best options for getting lounge access...

I have a friend who isn't yet a member of any FF program. He lives in the UK and will soon travel LHR - CAI with me (discount economy), then is flying CX Business class return from LHR-MEL early next year. What FF program should he join? BA? QF? CX?

Unfortunately from the U.S.! Qantas Business Class on Sale

I'm familiar with the QF Skybed but are there other QF Business Class seats on International flights? Millenium seats? I keep reading reports of different types of seats. Is there a thread which has pictures of them?

I'll be flying in to T3 on Nov 15 on QF5/QF9 via SIN. I'll be in London for 8 days then I fly out to Cairo, then back to LHR and back to MEL. Q. Are there departure taxes payable each time I leave LHR? I can't find a reference to them but seem to recall there was some huge slug imposed lately.

I'll be flying to the Gold Coast on Dec 29 and have the choice of Exit Row seating. I assume the aircraft will be the A321? Does anyone know whether the Exit Rows are worthwhile on this flight? I'll probably be doing the JetFlex fare (extra $60) to get SCs and points. The Exit Rows...

I was in the middle of booking a *class flight from SYD-MEL tonight when the booking engine returned an error while I was selecting my seat. Something along the lines of "blah, blah, blah, error please try again". Note that this was after I'd entered my credit card details. So, I tried again...
