Thanks to both of you for that! I'll see what works out. If I have spare miles and can get award flights I might be able to return from Iceland to Germany and then head to the US from there. Cheers!

I'm in the ideas and early planning stage of another OW RTW award for next year. I've been plugging options in to the OW planner just to see routing options but have noticed there is no ability to click on KEF at Iceland. I've searched the AFF threads for up to date info on this but can someone...

Hi I'm travelling on VA next Feb PER-DPS return with my girlfriend. The itinerary says it will be a 737-800 both ways. I'm not exactly sure on the inclusions on Virgin these days, especially on international flights. I think there will be complimentary meals provided on this flight, or at...

These are no longer available - both now posted to people who can use them. Amazing how easy it is to give freebies away :lol:

Ok PM me your address and I'll drop it in a postbox to you today.

Someone else now has the pass but the $50 duty free voucher is still available.

Ok AIRwin the pass is yours! Same thing just PM me your postal address.

Ok it's yours odoherty! Just PM me your postal address.

Last November I spent 3 and a half hours in a plane on the tarmac in Brisbane waiting before we could take off to Perth thanks to a very slow moving thunderstorm that prevented the ground crew from pushing the plane back. To thank us for patience we were given some vouchers - I have one which...

Thanks for the advice guys! I made a call and nothing is guaranteed but they will try. It definitely helped being Velocity gold. I'll still do the OLCI thing to make sure.

I'll be flying on Virgin DJ467 on the 26th of July Perth to Brisbane and I have a couple of questions for those of you in the know. Which aircraft is it likely to be? As far as I can tell it would be a 737 with a 3 and 3 seat configuration. There are four of us flying together but on three...

Just a +1 on these experiences. Last October I came into SIN on a flight at about midnight and checked into the Ambassador. I was worried about my bag being either lost or confiscated by security but the Ambassador staff seemed to think it would be fine. Sure enough in the morning I was able to...

Last year I had to make a claim on travel insurance for the first time after breaking my collarbone three days before I was due to leave on a two month trip. I was insured with Covermore which was purchased through STA for what I consider a reasonable price. I can report that they were helpful...

Thanks for everyone's help. I have booked it all up a few days ago now so it's just a waiting game. PER-SFO/surface sector/LGA-YYZ/surface sector/YUL-TXL/surface sector/FRA-NRT-PER It was a cost of 140 000 points plus $730.83 taxes and the $60 phone booking fee. I will do a brief trip report...

I thought that would be available but the Qantas booking engine kept trying to send me via LHR on BA - I phoned Qantas and discovered that's because JAL don't participate in the online booking so don't show up there. I might just end up having to sacrifice the $60 to book it over the phone with...

Thanks for that dfcatch! I have just found that substituting MUC with FRA means I can go via MAD when crossing the Atlantic and avoid LHR on that segment and this reduces fines to $748.23. Frankfurt is more central to where I want to go anyway but will certainly still be timing a visit to...

Also the LGA-YYZ could easily be JFK-YYZ if I want but does JFK generally have higher taxes of the two? Are there any other significant pros and cons between those two? I've never been to either.

It must be that time of year again because I'm brewing up plans for the next big holiday. I've been playing with Qantas award bookings pages and come up with an itinerary to suit me but I would welcome any comments or suggestions. This will be in Aug/Sep 2011. PER-SFO/LGA-YYZ/YUL-MUC-NRT-PER...

Postcode - just out of interest can I ask how far ahead you have booked this and approximately how long the itinerary runs for? Cheers

I've just heard about the latest incident where a Qantas 747 had to return to SYD (I think it was SYD) after there was smoke in the coughpit on a flight to Buenos Aires. This and the recent run of incidents being reported across the media since the A380 engine failure a couple of weeks ago made...
