So I was needing to get to Europe (UK & Central/Eastern Europe) but start in the Philippines, so started playing with dates. I'm flying our later this month, and back 2.5 weeks later. I ended up flying from CRK and back to CRK, as the savings compared to MNL were significant on certain days...

I'm sitting in the lounge at Marriot Marquis in Sukhumvit Soi 22, eleven hours after arriving in Bangkok for the first time in almost 2 years and I wanted to give you all my first hand experience of Thailand's Test & Go Quarantine Program. So I flew to Thailand with SQ, and the transit...

So this is a trip report following my first international trip since March 2020, starting on 1st November 2021. On this trip I fly from Melbourne to Sydney, then onto LA, Las Vegas, Orlando (via Austin), LA (via Dallas), Sydney then home to Melbourne. This is my first International flight since...

Ok, I'm on of those flyers on here that jumped at a trip o/s as soon as the borders opened. I have a major industry event on the 2nd November in the USA, so booked a flight to LAX with QF on the 1st. My question relates to ExpertFlyer. I'm new to using this tool, but 2 days again there were...

Anyone heard anything about Status extensions beyond Feb 2022? I've been Platinum SPG/Titanium Elite with Marriott for years, but almost exclusively from international travel, being stuck like virtually everyone else, there is no way I'll get almost any bookings before Feb next year at this...

Just read this on Ausbt this morning. :D https://www.ausbt.com.au/srilankan-airlines-to-launch-colombo-melbourne-flights-this-year For positioning flights for some of those cheap CMB fares, this is handy, plus for those like me with business (or family) in Sri Lanka and surrounds, a direct...

Hi All, I've got a series of J flights with MH coming up including BKK-KUL-MNL-KUL-BKK and a couple of KUL-BKK return and I'm already LTG, and about to hit Platinum again with 6 months to go, so I'm trying to see if I should credit these flights to another program. I'll never get near Platinum...

I was just chatting with a friend who works with QR and apparently the plan now is to have the new lounge open by the end of February, but they aren't necessarily expecting it before late March. There will be a Business and First Class lounge, and will be located at D7-D8 (so it should be quite...

Hey there! I realise it might be hard to find the answer here in Australia, but I thought I'd ask anyway. I've had a huge SPG year this year, and by the end of my next BKK trip in 2 weeks, I'll be sitting on 97 nights. I might use 1 or 2 more later in December, but I really don't know. I...

I'm now Lifetime Gold with QF, and just re-qualified WP (til 1st November 2016), and I have a number of flights, MH - BKK-KUL (return), and UL - DXB-CMB-KUL all in J. I also have a MEL-KUL-BKK with MH in discounted whY. The QFF earnings are pitiful. Any recommendations where the best place to...

This is my first ever trip report, so go easy on me! :) Every two years or so I get the opportunity to get to Frankfurt, Germany for a week for a major trade event, but this time I'm adding a holiday on the end, and getting to visit a country (Cambodia) for the first time. Later today I'm...

According to QF's online route maps, it should be possible to fly codeshare with QF from Australia to Siem Reap (REP). Apparently the QF codeshares flight numbers come up in QF's system at the call centre but no one there was able to book SYD-BKK-REP. I'll be in BKK, and I want to take the...

Is it cost effective (or even possible) to call QF and book one way in Y to say BKK, and return in J from SIN? I'm toying with a few flight options now, and I don't mind a day flight in Y, but hate a night flight. I'm flying out of MEL, but can't find anywhere online to cost it, so I figured...

I've just booked flights in late May to Dubai ex BKK with MH in J for about $1100 AUD return! That's 320 sc's too by my recollection. Just over $3 a SC! I noticed you could fly from BKK or HKT and the prices were very similar. There is one small catch. During the period, MH are using DWC...

Thought you guys should be aware of an issue my colleague had with his qantas cash card in the USA in December. It was working fine on the first couple of days of the trip, but by mid trip it was useless, wouldn't work at all, despite plenty of cash on the card. Upon calling QF yesterday he...

I'm flying through HNL on Sunday with an 9 hour transit. I've booked an SS Camaro and plan to cruise around for a few hours taking in some sights, but the question related to my baggage. I'll be flying with QF to HNL, then AA from HNL to IND (via DFW). With such a long transit, can I still...

I've been getting a few thousand points each month for certain household expenses for years, but never for any expenses incurred through work. I currently have an ANZ QF Platinum AMEX/Visa card. The work AMEX card just channeled points into the boss's QFF account. Since a new staff member...

I've just been asked to get to the USA in December and looking at fares with QF at the moment the pricing is way too high for J, especially with Delta and AirNZ so much cheaper. I know I missed the sale a few weeks ago, anyone think there will be another sale in the next few weeks/month? I...

I'm arriving from DXB on Friday into BKK in J, then onwards to CGK with GA in whY. Anyone know if I'll be able to use the Emirates J lounge as an arrivals lounge? I'm fairly sure I won't be able too... but wanted to check. Cheers!

On Saturday night my boss and I started a DONE4 from JNB and on arriving at JNB, we were told that our flight (we were to be on BA54 which was a AA codeshare) had been cancelled and that we were supposed to be notified that we would now be on BA 56 (leaving 80 mins earlier). Fortunately we had a...
