I'm flying Qantas MEL–SYD–SCL and then, after a 19hr30min layover in SCL, SCL–GIG on LATAM. The flights are all on the same PNR (made as one booking via AmEx), but Qantas didn't allow me to check my bag through to GIG, and didn't provide the boarding pass for the SCL–GIG LATAM flight. The...

Hi, I'm taking a short holiday in Vietnam, and will need to book some flights within the country. (Flights to and from have already been booked.) I've done some quick comparisons between Vietnam Airlines and Jetstar Pacific, and I'm tending towards the latter on the basis of price, with the...

Posting for my parents, who are flying MEL-SYD and then SYD-PQQ tomorrow. It's less than 24 hours before the first leg, but this is what they get when attempting to use OLCI: We are unable to check you in Unfortunately, we are unable to check you in at this time. Web Check-in is available from...

I'm not familiar with the routing rules QF usually has for J fares MEL-LAX, so I was a bit surprised when I checked them for the sale J fares announced today. Since I don't know if this is common or not, I'm not going to be revealing all the details - I expect many readers will be able to find...

With the Boeing 787 Dreamliner finally in service, I expect there will be a few people here who are interested in flying it. And I also expect there are also a few people who'll wait until it's flown for several years before they want to step on board. ;) But if you're in the first group, how...

Hi, I've just booked FRA-JFK SQ26 on https://www.singaporeair.com/; the email confirmation says this: The booking otherwise appears complete: I have a booking reference and ticket number, and I can manage the booking on the website. What do they need me to call for in order to "complete your...

With the cancellation of the AKL-LAX route from 6 May just announced (http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/travel-news/qf-to-cut-jobs-routes-36752.html), what will happen with bookings? I have a JASA booked AKL-LAX in late May. Any ideas what route they might move me to? I'd be...

I'm a complete newby when it comes to international travel with Virgin Australia, so I'm looking for some help from the more experienced members. I have an opportunity to book some work travel for next year, but only if I can come up with a tax receipt to claim against today. So my first...

According to Australian Business Traveller, the 787 is coming to Australia next month (I presume they mean October) for a promotional tour: Qantas brings Boeing 787 Dreamliner to Australia next month - Flights | hotels | frequent flyer | business class - Australian Business Traveller Apart from...

According to Earning Status Credits | Velocity Frequent Flyer, "Status Credit earn on Delta Air Lines is coming soon". Two questions: How soon is "soon"? (I have flights in the US in December to book, and I'd like to know whether Delta will be an option or if I should stick with Virgin...

I can't seem to get Qantas Flight Status | Track Flight Arrival and Departure Times to return any results -- not searching by flight number, nor by city pair. Doing the same search on the Qantas iPhone "app" also fails. Is Qantas flying today? ;)

@VirginAustralia just tweeted: Any idea what it might be? (We don't need to wait to start talking about it!)

I'm currently on the ground in SYD on QF93, which was not long out of MEL when the call for doctors on board was made. Eventually they announced that we'd be diverting to SYD, and after dumping fuel, we landed around 12:10. They hope to have us refueled and turned around in 1 hr 20 mins...

Does anyone else check ExpertFlyer repeatedly before flying, or is it just me? ;) Anyway, when I last checked, my allocated seat (as per Qantas' MYB) on QF93 tomorrow was taken, as you'd expect. But I just checked again, and it's showing as empty on ExpertFlyer. But Qantas still has me in...

I'm going to be attempting my first carryon only trip in a couple of days, and I'm looking for some confirmation that my camera/laptop backpack will be okay as my "personal item" on my QF flight in Y+ (premium economy) to the US. I've read the threads I could find on this topic, but none seemed...

Hi, I understand that Qantas isn't allowed to sell the QF107 LAX-JFK leg as a separate fare. I already have MEL-LAX on QF93 booked, and now want to add on a leg to JFK. Is that possible? I presume I'd have to call them to do it, and probably pay a booking fee/fine. :( Also, seeing I...

Hi, I just booked an ASA in Y LAX-MEL for June; actually it was points+pay, but I don't believe that makes a difference. Before confirming and paying, I made sure to check the conditions that it was upgradable: I also viewed the page source, which indicated that it would book into X...

Hi all, (Special mention to those in QLD facing Yasi at the moment.) I booked a return flight on QF in Y+ from MEL-DFW (MEL-SYD-DFW-BNE-MEL) online on 17 Jan and paid the $25 booking deposit, and then paid the remainder on 19 Jan, which was the due date. (This was the special they had...

Hi, I need to get to Melbourne Airport by around 6:30am on Monday; my father has kindly offered to drive, but is worried about the traffic jam at the exit ramp off the Tullamarine Freeway. He's suggested taking the previous exit ramp, turning right at Melrose Drive, going along behind the...
