    Hong Kong Airport - Which Lounge to use ?

    Recently transited thru HK - once in the terminal we had 4 hours so off to the lounge. But the ongoing flight gate was not yet shown on the boards so we did not know which end of the ( bloody long ) terminal to go to. We came in from LHR so we ended up near Gate 2 and used that very...

    Heathrow Arrivals - lounges - CX J class

    Landing at Heathrow 6am on Cathay Pacific J class - what if any are our options for a quick shower and change before heading into London? I don't think our hotel has a gym or similar for a shower and room access wont be available until 3pm. Thx

    ANZ Black and Apple Pay

    My primary motivation is to get a card that offers Apple Pay access so I can use my phone or watch for those quick purchases ( Coffee, etc ). As my main bank is CBA I need to find a card with an alternative bank for Apple. While looking I might as well see if I can get QFF bonus points and the...

    Noumea, Lifou, Port Vila activities

    Last year in Noumea we did a day tour booked thru “tours by locals “. I think the lady we used has moved on ( hubby is in the navy ) but the idea of using local tour guides is good. And a lot cheaper than the tours booked thru the cruise lines. Lifou is a small island with good snorkeling...

    Barcelona June 2018

    Skyscanner takes me to various online booking sites once flights are selected. Are these overseas booking sites ok to deal with? I am aware of watching which currency they quote in but just nervous dealing with (say) a uk site when i am in Aust. 2. Pax flying J is a lot of $ so want to be...

    Barcelona June 2018

    2 questions: Qatar Airlines - just read a glowing J class review in Herald. Given the regional tensions would you fly Qatar? Purchase flights SIB to BCN - just go to airlines normal site and research / purchase? Nothing special to do for purchasing in Aust for travel completely outside Aust...

    Barcelona June 2018

    Not sure i trust a stop in Qatar. Rather than fly into Barcelona, another city that might offer better value?? Apart from the cruise we are totally flexible.

    Barcelona June 2018

    I know this is a noob question but be patient with me please. Big anniversary coming up next year so doing a med cruise Barcelona to Venice. Flying Business ( I am 2 m tall and the thought of a flight to Europe in Economy scares me ) seems Sing Air via Sing stopover for 24 hours is best way...

    Seat Guru does not agree with Webjet Cust Service

    Thankyou all for the help. Think I put the wife ad her sister next to each other in the middle and the 2 bag carriers ( sometimes known as hubbys ) can have quiet flights on the window seats. I was aware of webjet fees but as this is still a fairly new task for me I can wear them. I wil be...

    How Does Online Check-in Work?

    Checking staff were not able to do anything as the flight is full. I did manage to preselect for flight back in 3 weeks after learning here that I could. Thanks to all for the good replies. TA will get a rocket when we get back. flight delayed 90 minutes so we are comfortable in Air NZ lounge...

    How Does Online Check-in Work?

    We used an agent ( one of the bigger chains ) as we are doing the cruise / train thing in Canada. No mention at the time of booking of being able to pre-select seats. I have rung the airline but the call centre was not a lot of use. I am going to the airport tonight and will see if I can...

    How Does Online Check-in Work?

    Flying to Vancouver on AC34 I was on their online checkin site as soon as it opened 24 hours before the flight. Flying their Business Class I find my wife and I were allocated seats 4 rows apart and when I attempted to change that there were only 3 seats in a 42 seat business class section...

    Lounge Access for a not-so-frequent flyer

    Hi all, Possibly asked a number of times but I could not find a recent thread. With the negative thoughts re Qantas I am thinking my previous loyalty is now a waste of time. I fly for private purposes maybe twice a year and often go PE as I am 198 cm tall. A mix of domestic and internat to...

    Transit Times in LAX

    Thankyou all. Discussed it with the wife and we will bite the bullet, find the extra $$ and fly direct with Air Canada. No hassles at LA and no time delays with stopovers. Nice stress free start to the holiday.
