    Hi all, just waiting on our flight to BNE at ROK today and saw a QF A332 depart followed by the arrival of a SQ A350 soon after. Neither listed on the info boards… anyone know what’s going on? Only regular flights to/from ROK are BNE and Mackay.

    Aviation Museum London

    Hi all, as fellow enthusiasts, do you have 1 or 2 must see aviation museums in London (or surrounding area) that you recommend? I have looked at the RAF Museum London website (RAF Museum London Homepage) and looks like a great one but just wanted to make sure I don’t miss any gems. I'll be there...

    Hello (but properly now)

    Hi all, not quite first time caller long time listener but have finally kicked in the cash to support this site properly! Watching with cautious optimism that we might fly again from Melbourne sometime soon. Having a beer in the city today already seems like a major achievement..,

    Bags checked through 3K KUL to SIN, QF SIN to MEL

    Hi all, I am travelling KUL to SIN on 3K (booked with a QF flight number), followed by the QF36 flight to MEL. Will I be able to check my luggage through to MEL at KLIA2 or will I have to retrieve my bag in SIN and then check in again? I’ve got 4.5h so no big deal if I have to do so. Can the...

    Transferring in BKK and rechecking luggage

    Hi all, I am flying MEL-SYD-BKK (QF) and then onto HAN on Vietnam Airlines with a 2h25m stopover in BKK. VN is not listed with QF for luggage interlining so I assume I will have to clear immigration, grab my suitcase, check in and go through immigration? Has anyone had to do this before and is...

    Premium Seat Selection Payment Refund

    Hi all, I had a booking on QF36 SIN-MEL on Jul 9 and paid the $105 to secure seat 80K as soon as the flights were ticketed (two days ago). Today I changed my flights from SIN to MEL to QF82/461 (better timing departing SIN) and grabbed 80K on the newly booked QF82 and paid my $105 again. Is...

    Freighter movement at MEL this week for F1 GP

    Hi all, I saw two Atlas Air B744Fs at MEL yesterday morning (one departing as another landed), plus noticed a CX B744F on FR24 approaching just now. I was wondering how many extra freight flights come to MEL for F1 GP? Google suggests 6 are required for all team's cars to be transported (2014...

    Auckland or Wellington for a long weekend?

    Hi all, Mrs bertflyer and I have never been to NZ and are planning to go to either AKL or WLG for a long weekend in late June. After much googling I am leaning slightly towards WLG but keen to hear the wisdom of AFFers? :) It seems both offer great food, cafes etc. We'll likely hire a car to...

    Hi all, I'm planning to connect from MEL to Chongqing via HKG using CX in early April. The onward flight to Chongqing is on Air China metal but has a CX flight number (code share) and all booked as a CX ticket. Would I have access to the CX lounges in HKG? It's a five hour layover so access...

    If only QF had some 787's by now

    Just following a thread on Airliners.net about the first AA 787 in their new colour scheme: First AA 787 Has Been Painted — Civil Aviation Forum | Airliners.net and it got me thinking how great it would be to see some 787's in the QF colours :-| Being Melbourne based I sometimes see up to 3 JQ...

    MEL EK J lounge good alternative to QF J lounge?

    Hi, I am traveling MEL-DBX on QF9 on Sunday and am considering trying the MEL EK J lounge for a change. Is it worth a go? Will they direct me to the QF lounge (as per my BKK experience recently)?

    Best Seats in Old Config QF B744

    Quick question, I have managed to grab 38G (front Y mini-cabin) on Monday's QF5 to SIN in the old config B744, does this have the cutout in the bulkhead for extra legroom? I am 5'10 so may not be an issue if not. It is also a bassinet seat so I guess I may be bumped from the seat if the bassinet...

    Best Alliance based in DEL?

    Hi everyone, my MiL is based in Delhi and flies to LHR and MEL for family visits (one flight per year to each city minimum). I am thinking the OW alliance would be best suited for her as she can fly direct to LHR on BA and to MEL via HKG on CX. Join either the BA and CX programs and collect...
