    What to do if seatmate falls asleep and invades your space

    This happened to me last week so I was wondering what people do in this situation. The stranger sitting on a middle seat next to me fell asleep. Slowly but surely his arms and head moved more and more into my seat space. Do you move away from them to avoid body contact, use your body as a...

    Any chargeback experience with Qantas?

    Doing a credit card chargeback is the most common advice here on AFF for resolving a dispute with Qantas but has anyone actually done one? What was the outcome? Does Qantas blacklist you? I cancelled a classic reward booking and received the tax refund a couple of months later but not the...

    Google is more up to date on delays than Qantas App/Airport Displays

    I am sitting in a Qantas lounge and Google is showing my flight as delayed by 30 minutes which makes sense as the inbound flight is delayed. However, the Qantas app, the monitor displays in the lounge and the airport website are all still showing the original departure time with no indication...

    12:00am departure

    Thought I'd share something I never thought I would see. A 12:00am departure! The blue question mark only clarifies the airport terminal, not the date.

    Other people's things in your space

    About an hour into my economy class flight, I decided to stretch my legs forward only to discover that the person in front of me has placed her handbag under her seat. She has a blanket over her body and appeared to be asleep or trying to. I did notice that she had stretched her legs into the...

    What is the point of a 5 minute schedule change?

    I have several Jetstar flights booked for next year and almost all of them have had schedule changes of only 5 minutes. Is there a reason they do this? I don't think I've ever had a flight depart and arrive exactly as scheduled so I don't see how 5 minutes makes much of a difference to them. I...

    I've noticed that a few people have already booked international trips for 2022. What resources are people using to find out the current entry, transit, testing and quarantine requirements for each country? Is there a website that shows all this?

    What to do with expiring LifeMiles

    I have 26,000 Lifemiles expiring this month. Any suggestions on what I can do with it? I am hesitant to buy more because I'll probably have to keep doing it year after year until the borders reopen. It doesn't even look like they have any AirNZ inventory for MEL-N.Z. or vice versa.

    Darwin Airport Car Hire

    Jetstar and Qantas are going back to 12am-2am arrivals/departures in Darwin at the end of this month but I don't think the car rental companies at the airport believe it will happen as none of them are open to meet these flight arrivals. Will the car rental companies likely change their...

    Flying Jetstar on QF codeshare

    For some reason, I remember reading somewhere that points and SCs are not given when flying Jetstar on a QF flight number. Is there any truth to this or am I just imagining it? Specifically on SIN-KUL.

    How do you choose a hotel?

    I find choosing a hotel to be the least pleasant in planning holidays. Not so bad in smaller towns or where you have very specific requirements but quite difficult in big cities where there are literally hundreds of hotels to choose from. I like to find good value where I can so it takes me a...
