Hi people I've got two flights next month using airlines and airports I haven't used before. The first is CMB to CCU on Sri Lankan Airlines.The flight departs at 8.25am. I gather SL Airlines have a general recommendation to arrive 3 hrs before departure. I'm a bit concerned however with what...

Hi folks I'm wondering whether any of you crystal ball gazers would like to hazard a guess at whether AF 165 from BKK to CDG is likely to be a victim of the AF strike called for 23 March? Is it likely that outbound flights from Paris would more effected?

Hi people My nieces (26 an 30) are off to the UK for 6 weeks in June. They have asked me for advice about travel insurance policies which will cover them both. I always use credit card travel insurance, so I'm not up with what else is on offer (they don't have credit cards-don't trust...

Hi everyone I've got a 6 week trip to Spain coming up, then another 3 months mostly in Canada, Iceland, the UK and Thailand starting in June. What would people recommend as a good SIM to use while in Europe? I don't want much by way of calls or data, just to be able to get an Uber or a...

Hi people I'm looking at doing a RTW with Star Alliance next June-Sept. First leg is Melbourne to Vancouver. I'm wondering about the relative merits of the direct flight on Air Canada or going via Auckland on Air NZ. The Air Canada flight is a bit over four hours shorter, but gets you into...

Hi people We're looking at MAD 12.05pm-CDG 2.10pm on Air France AF1301, connecting same day with CDG 3.20pm to BKK on Air France AF166. Is there any way of establishing: (a) how often this connection is made or missed ( I can see it's not the same plane), and (b) what would happen to us if the...

Looking at a booking for a family member which involves CDG-SIN on SQ 336 arriving 06.50 and SIN-MEL on SQ207 departing 07.45. If SQ 336 is running late do you think they'd hold SQ207, and if so for how long?

Melbourne-Amsterdam, Paris-Melbourne, with a catch Hi people Wonder if anyone can assist with flights for two people to Europe this winter. Dates are very flexible but would be something like 14 July Melbourne-(stopover)-Amsterdam, and back around 4 October from Paris CDG-(stopover)-...

Hi people I notice that Qantas lists the meals on this 15.5 hr flight as "Lunch and refreshments". Can anyone who has endured this trip in economy recently advise what the offerings were, and when in the flight they were served?

Hi folks Anyone know what headphones jacks are like on the MEL-SIN-MEL route with Singapore Airlines. I'm wondering whether they are 2 plug or 3 plug (I'd like to be able to use my 3 prong headphones if possible).

Hi people I'm 99% sure of the answer, but can someone confirm that there is no problem buying Duty Free alcohol (pre-ordered) on arrival in SYD, and then taking them as carry on for a connecting flight to MEL?

Hi people I'm looking at flying MELB-asian stopover-Europe (ideally AMS), then back from Europe (preferably MAD or CDG) to CPT, then back to MELB I hate overnight flights and try and limit them as much as possible. Some of the Star Alliance carriers have attractive daytime options (e.g. EVA...

Hi people We're wondering whether anyone had done QF 63 in Y recently who could comment on the meal service in Y. I've read a few reports of people chewing this arms off in the long gap between the lunch shortly after departure and the light refreshment many hours later. Can anyone also...

Just thought I'd get in early and bag some economy seats upstairs on QF 7 for a flight I've booked in mid March next year, but all (bar a couple of the bad ones) appear as unavailable. Does this mean they have already been snaffled, or is Qantas doing something by way of restricting online access?

Hi people We're looking at the most painless way of getting from Melbourne to Cape Town in September. It seems that regardless of what CPT airport Wiki page suggests there are unfortunately no longer direct SIN-CPT flights. Which leaves us with going MELB-PER on Virgin and then PER-JNB-CPT with...

I'm wondering if anyone has any recent knowledge about when Finnair will be introducing their new aircraft on the long haul routes to Asia. The last thing I can find (Aug 2014) suggests mid 2015, which might suit my mid July trip to AMS. I flew on their A340 last year in Y and wouldn't be in a...
