I searched for an answer everywhere but couldn’t find one. ‘I’m heading to china early next year as part of a two week trip to China (of course), South Korea and Japan. I am a journalist. with the visa application form asking for my occupation, do I tell the truth? I will not be working during...

Been a while since I posted, but today is day one of my latest trip. booked this ages ago with a good J deal with SQ. I think it was about $4000 return, the only catch being arriving at Haneda via Singapore, but that didn’t bother me too much. rather than chasing cold weather and snow, I decided...

So another southern hemisphere summer almost gone and another trip for me to the northern hemisphere winter. I had planned this trip for a while with around 140,000 QF points to play with and decided on Japan. Finding availability in J wasn’t easy, but I mucked around for a few hours and...

Hi all. I have done a search for an answer but couldn't find anything. I have a QF flight from Melbourne to Tokyo Narita via Brisbane on 15 February. I am booked to travel from MEL to BNE at 6.40am, arriving in BNE at 7.50am. I then have a connecting flight to Tokyo Narita from the...

I'm heading up to Brisbane this weekend for the AFL final at the GABBA (go Tiges). Managed to book decent flights at a decent price leaving Saturday 10.10am and coming back the following day at 12.10pm. Obviously flights are hideously expensive and their was/is a huge demand. I just got a text...

Hi all. Did a search but to no avail. I flew heathrow to Helsinki return in Feb with Finnair. Got credited with the LHR-HEL 15 status credits only two days after I travelled. Happy days. However the return flight was a different story. After a few weeks, I submitted a claim and it was rejected...

Just returned from two weeks away. Iceland for a week (amazing), London for three days to see Spurs vs Newcastle and do a few other things and then then a few days in Helsinki just because i wanted to go to Helsinki. Scan your boarding pass and join the ride.

Please forgive me if this has been discussed in another thread. I searched quite hard for the answer but couldn't find it. I'm arriving at LHR on QF1 at around 6am into terminal 3. I then have an Icelandair flight to Reykjavik from terminal 2 at 12.20pm. The two flights are on separate tickets...

Mods please move if this is not in the right section. I took the plunge and travelled from Avalon to Sydney return with Jetstar. Avalon is a 35 minute drive from my place in Barwon Heads whereas Tullamarine is a 75-minute drive on a good day. I wanted to visit my sister and her family in Mosman...

Just completed a 2 and a half week journey through some parts of the States and Canada in winter. Flew from MEL to LA and then a connection to Minneapolis (what a nightmare that was - more to come). Then up to Edmonton and then onto Yellowknife for five nights and then down to Denver. I was a...

So I have the option of flying on the A321 or the 757-200 on Delta 'first' class from LAX to MSP. The A321 flight is better timing wise, but was wondering if anyone had flown on either or (better) both these birds at the pointy end? Which is better?

Trying to book a Southwest Airlines flight from LAX to DEN and all goes well until I get to actually paying. The credit card part fills out fine and then it asks for the billing address which needs to match my credit card. The drop down menu for the country of the card is restricted to three...

I didn't want to start another thread but was wanting some advice. I will be arriving on a Southwest flight from Denver and then transferring to QF to the trip back home to MEL. The QF flight leaves at 10.05pm from TBI. The Southwest flight arrives at LAX from Denver at either 4pm or 6pm...

so not having missed a game all season and being a long suffering Richmond supporter for 40 years, I am enjoying the ride that 2017 has brought to us. A few weeks ago I decided that I couldn't miss the Fremantle vs Richmond game, the penultimate game at Subiaco Oval. Having written a few Lonely...

I couldn't find a thread about this so forgive me if this has already been covered. But, has anyone flown the new 777 VA 'premium' cabin (formerly premium economy)? I have a flight coming up and I'd like to know how much better it is now than the former premium economy.

Hi all. I booked a J QF flight MEL-LAX for 11 Feb 2018. It is a rewards flight one way. Initially the flight was on the Dreamliner at around 2pm-ish and I needed to get to Minneapolis from LAX, so I booked Delta first class flight leaving at 1pm, as the QF flight didn't get in to LAX until...

Absolutely fascinating account of this flight. Superbly written too. The untold story of QF72: What happens when 'psycho' automation leaves pilots powerless? If the paywall strikes a problem, I can copy and paste the story in here, but it's long.

Anyone had any experience with this airline, based out of Minneapolis? Looking at doing an LAX-MIN flight with them and a first-class seat (US$349) is hundreds cheaper than Delta (US$766) or Alaska (US$518). Flight is nonstop and reading reviews etc paint them in a fairly positive light.

I'm suffering from TR withdrawal so I thought I would do one on a weekend trip to Brisbane tomorrow (Easter Saturday). I'm heading up from MEL on QF616 and back on QF615. Managed to score 4C on both flights at T80. I'm sitting on 585 SCs so the trip up will get me to 500 and requalify for Gold...

So I just returned from a two week trip to Alaska. My sister and I during a drunken dinner in Hong Kong, decided we would do Alaska in the year of her 40th which happened to be 2017. This has been five years in the making. My itinerary was MEL-LAX in J, got upgraded to F with points. Then I was...
