    France - Wine Regions

    I have always used voyages sncf for train tickets wholly within France and never had a problem its much more user friendly than its Italian equivalent! Pre booking on the website in advance can save you a considerable amount of money too. The man in seat 61 is a fantastic resource for train...

    Re-booking through Expedia?

    Hi, does anyone have any experience with re-booking a cancelled flight that was booked with Expedia? I am trying to help out my Mum's partner who is a very infrequent traveler. Last year he was supposed to fly from PER to MEL for a footy trip with a group of mates but then had to cancel. The...

    Replica swords in checked baggage

    I flew back from a hiking trip in NZ a couple of years ago and as we had been hiking we obviously had a bunch of stuff that needed declaring including my friends reasonably large camping knife. As the customs officer was busily going through our bags checking we had properly cleaned our boots...

    Qantas online Mall, cookies and points

    I have used the QF mall several times mostly with DJs or Netaporter. I have had no trouble with DJs and received all my emails and their respective points and bonus points. Netaporter however I have used through QF mall 3 times and until this morning I had received an email and points for only...

    Introducing qantaspoints.com

    Epiqure is a separate website with a separate login so I don't really see a problem for the shopping portal and it is a similar idea to the Virgin one not sure if all the other stuff is required though as it really just duplicates the FF section on qantas.com. Having netaporter in there at 4...

    Catering for dietary disabilities

    I am gluten intolerant (although luckily not also lactose intolerant) and find that generally the airlines are pretty good with special meals for it. I have had GF meals on QF (Y,PE & J), CX (Y, PE & J), TG (Y) and BA (PE) most of them have been fairly reasonable if a little bland as fish or...

    QF upgrades SYD BKK services over Xmas, downgrades SIN

    True but I actually don't need them as my year ends at the end on Jan and I should re-qualify for WP easily before then so probably would have preferred the direct flight and some f lounge time. I suppose they will be handy for lifetime status.

    QF upgrades SYD BKK services over Xmas, downgrades SIN

    I am affected by this as I was booked on QF5 in PE in mid December, actually I started a thread about it last week. I was offered to transfer to QF51 out BNE (with appropriate connection) instead still in PE I did ring and ask what the alternatives are and only got offered Y on QF5 so I decided...

    F lounge or PE seat?

    Hi Serfty I can see it in my "your bookings" section when I log into my QF account its just none of the modify or select seat buttons are there like normal just a big yellow warning notice at the top saying your flights have changed contact your travel agent which is why I couldn't see the exact...

    F lounge or PE seat?

    Serfty my date is the 18th December I can't see the actual seat map as it just says there has been a change contact your travel agent (I booked it through Expedia as that seems to be the only way to get PE to Europe via Asia now and I needed stops in SIN and HKG) Is this likely to be possible...

    F lounge or PE seat?

    Thanks for the replies I have flown QF PE before so am well aware of the difference in seat quality I am just starting to get worried that QF51 will also end up as a A330 and I will still end up with a Y seat and no F lounge do you think that's likely? On the way home I am going through Hong...

    Will an airline confirm/deny if someone successfully boarded a flight?

    Officially if your talking QF I think no but unofficially maybe. I was once booked to fly SYD - MEL with two colleagues on an early morning flight we were all on the same booking but checked in separately I met up with one of the colleagues in the lounge but neither had seen or heard from the...

    F lounge or PE seat?

    I was booked on QF 5 in PE in December and have just been notified that as QF 5 has now been subbed to a A330 which has no PE that I have been changed to QF508 and QF51 as apparently the Brisbane flight is still a 747. I am tossing up between accepting this change or ringing and asking to be put...

    New Qantas Uniform

    I like it particularly the trench coat but I am awful fond of trench coats. As an Aussie sheep farmers daughter I am pleased to see the uniforms are mostly Australian Merino wool.

    March 2013

    Thanks for the replies I would (and have several times when travelling domestic with more people than I can guest) but it is my first international flight since making WP and I really want to go into the F lounge plus I am gluten intolerant and Macca's doesn't actually make anything I can eat...

    March 2013

    Hi All, I am usually too shy to post in these things but I am facing the prospect of having to choose between friends so am hoping someone might be able to help. Will anyone be in the SYD QF F lounge early on the 23rd who has a spare guest spot? I am flying out on QF 45 (8:25am) with 2 friends...

    Will my luggage get checked through to USM? (QF to PG)

    It is weird isn't it? Maybe it is a domestic to international vs an international to international thing as I really didn't get the feeling that they could but just didn't want to check my bag in at all the but rather that the really could not do it as they did seem genuinely concerned. The...

    Will my luggage get checked through to USM? (QF to PG)

    Sorry to put a damper on things but I am not actually sure your luggage will be checked through unless something between QF & PG has changed recently. In 2011 I was booked HKT-BKK-SYD on PG and QF all on the same pnr and when I got to the airport to check in the PG check in staff were very...
