We have a 6 and 2 year old kids, and wil be travelling to Hawaii, Sydney and Malaysia soon. We will be hiring a car and taking taxis for most places. What did others do for child / booster seats for the hire car and on the plane? Also I heard we cannot take normal taxis in Sydney? I was...

Hi all, I have some Krisflyer miles and want to travel from PER to KUL. I would prefer to take SQ226 departing PER at 2.05pm arriving SIN at 7.35pm, and connect to KUL that night, but online I can only fly SIN-KUL using Silkair or SQ, none of which have flights after 7.35pm. Is it possible to...

Hello all, I'm booking a HKG-SIN SQ flight which arrives SIN at night. I would like to travel to KUL the next morning. Can I check one bag through from HKG to KUL and another just to SIN, so I can repack/add stuff to KUL? If so, I have a choice of airlines from SIN to KUL - AK, SQ, MI, 3K...

Hi all, Booked J class SIN - PER for my wife and infant son (don't worry, he's at that age where he would either sleep or feed so won't be noisy) using my SQ points and paid the $200+ in taxes. Was surprised that the infant fare is about 20% of the full adult fare. (Current adult fare is...

Thinking of booking PER - SIN return for 2 on the latest sale fares for flying in late February. Have about 50k QFF points - can I use these to upgrade to J on the return leg only? Also, got a choice between the A333 and A332. As a Y flyer, I always pick the newer A332, but which is better in...

Just had the pleasure of getting on 6 QF flights in 2 weeks, all in Y, including 27hrs at one go (in Y) from NYC to Perth via LAX and SYD. Just thought I'll list some comparisons for anyone who is looking for slightly more comfort in Y. Transpacific - Took the A380 from MEL to LAX and B747...

HH Gold here, planning a trip to NYC and LAX. Thinking of Hilton Garden Inn or Doubletree in Manhattan but they are expensive ($300+ incl taxes). Might be worth it if I have an upgrade. Anyone been there and stayed there? Worth the extra $?

Hi all, Flying from New York to Perth using QF, and was given several options. Which is best? 1) JFK - LAX - SYD on QF108 (747) and then SYD - PER (333) 2) JFK - LAX on UA (738/752), then LAX - SYD on QF12 (380) then SYD - PER (747) 3) JFK - DFW on AA (MD83), DFW - BNE - SYD (747) then SYD -...

Hi all, I have over 25000 Amex points which can be transferred to Krisflyer. A family member of mine (wife's grandmother) is thinking of flying SIN-PER-SIN soon and will book an economy (probably discount economy) ticket. Would it be possible for me to 'pay' for an upgrade for her using my...

Both my wife and I have a few Enrich points which will expire soon, and we would like to buy a ticket to travel from SIN to KUL. Problem is that we are just short on the points needed (we both need about 100 points more out of 5250). What do you think is the best way to go about this? I ended...

I plan to fly PER - MEL in Y. I could go PER-SYD-MEL using their A330 or direct using their B738. What are the pros and cons of both? Not much difference in price. For A330: - Free PTV - More comfortable plane - 2x3x2 seating For B738: - Direct (saves me 2 hrs) Was there anything else? I...

Hi everyone, I'm travelling from KUL to PER, and have booked QF78 departing SIN at 7.45pm. Just wondering which flight is best to take from KUL to PER. I plan to depart around noon time. We have a few choices: 1. SQ/MI - Too expensive 2. Tiger - Don't want to go there 3. Jetstar - LCC...

Hi all, I have had my Amex Gold card (via the Australian Computing Society) for over 2 years and pay no annual fee on it. I wanted to transfer some Amex points to Krisflyer points, but am unable to do so, apparently because I am on the Choices program, as opposed to the Ascent program. I am...
