    Epic melbourne restaurants for a sydney sider

    If you feel like walking, coughulus is at the other end of Flinders Lane. The food has always been great but the last time I went I had a waitress with a terrible attitude. So personally, I don't know when I will be back. I don't know if it qualifies for what you want though. Movida is also up...

    Qantas online check in help

    I tried doing a search but unfortunately I had trouble finding the most recent posts about this. Therefore, I apologise in advance if this has already been addressed. I'm trying to do an international flight check in for someone else. I am positive I have all the information correct...

    United from MEL to the US. Opinions and experiences?

    Hahaha...thanks all much appreciated! At the moment, I'm more tempted by Cathay since I fly direct to SFO from HKG. I will also get a chance to see Hong Kong for a little while on the way back from JFK. I have never been before. However, if I end up with United, I'm no longer worried. Job...

    United from MEL to the US. Opinions and experiences?

    Thanks for the heads up about E+, MEL_Traveller. AviationNZ, good point, yes I wouldn't mind that either. I'm not quite sure why she didn't quote me Air NZ. Admittedly, I was vague with my requests. Also, I have now gotten distracted by the Cathay Pacific fare which works out to be similar...

    United from MEL to the US. Opinions and experiences?

    Thank you MEL_Traveller. That's reassuring. If I do go with them, I just need to reassure myself it's only x amount of hours. I think the flights would deserve a trip report since reviews for these flights on forums and blogs are lacking. Oh and I would be travelling whY this time. It...

    Bonus points with The Economist & Forbes Asia

    Thanks for the heads up. It seems like one would even have problems getting the points credited to their account. Yes I'm interested in seeing if anyone is successful. Oh well, SPG 20,000 point purchase is definitely a better value. I just wish a bank would introduce a Krisflyer credit...

    United from MEL to the US. Opinions and experiences?

    I have always had an aversion to flying United given what I've heard. However, the prices are the best I've found given that I didn't budget for this at the beginning of the year. However, I've noticed that they cancel their flights a lot. I have limited time over there - at the most 2...

    Bonus points with The Economist & Forbes Asia

    So it's now working. The deal is 1 year for $438 and 8,000 points or 3 years for $1,117 and 12,000 points. Maybe someone will find it useful. The one year deal looks like a better points earn.

    Bonus points with The Economist & Forbes Asia

    I hope not :(. I got the information from the promo/special offers section of the SQ website. I'm going to see if SQ can confirm what you need to do to get those points.

    New and confused

    tengu, I'm not familiar with Skyteam but welcome to AFF. You're flying one way to India or Canada. Does this mean after your stay in Australia? If you're not concerned about points etc., there's always the budget carriers like Scoot etc to Asia. Mind you, I haven't flown on them for quite...

    MEL-SEA via LAX, SFO or YVR?

    Thank you all for your knowledge. I think they are going to go with QF. I never realised that UA has only one free checked bag until looking into the flights. Like RooFlyer I'd be interested in trying the 787 though...anyway $100 for a 2nd bag for economy pax with no status.

    MEL-SEA via LAX, SFO or YVR?

    Thank you very much dajop. It's looking like LAX is the better option.

    MEL-SEA via LAX, SFO or YVR?

    I'm currently helping to organise a trip from MEL to SEA for 2 ppl next month. I have only been to LAX prior to the upgraded TBIT. So my questions are: 1. Dumb question but if you fly AC from MEL to SEA via YVR, at YVR, would you just wait at the boarding gate area for your flight? You don't...

    Thank you to all for the excellent advice, especially browski, who started this thread. Am I right in thinking a return J trip from MEL to ATH will earn you *G?

    Cheapest ticket to Europe from Boston

    I was going to suggest Icelandair as well. However, the website kept logging me off on my iPad. Well, it's good to hear you managed to get those flights. I was also going to say perhaps you should disregard NY because Boston Logan is so close to Boston city centre etc. whereas Manhattan to...

    Cheapest ticket to Europe from Boston

    Yes that's definitely an option that OP should consider should he/she decide to fly from NY. Something to consider as well is the bus. The bus is cheaper than the train but takes longer. I took the bus from Boston South Station to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in NY. If I remember...
