Have a flight coming up to the US soon booked on a Qantas A380 in J. I have selected seat 16A, which on the Qantas seat selection page says is an extra leg room seat. Must admit never heard of that before on the A380 and no google search brings up row 16 as being extra leg room. So curious if...

Just curious if anyone who has flown to LHR on QF9 can advise what Immigration wait times are like for an ontime arrival. From what I can tell it is the first arrival at T3 by a good 25 minutes, so would imagine the queues won't be very long at that hour of the morning. But who knows maybe they...

Booked flights 3 weeks ago with Qantas to fly in economy CBR-MEL-(PER)-LHR then EK LHR-DXB-BKK and Qantas BKK-SYD-CBR leaving late October. Anyway in the 3 weeks since I have booked the flights Qantas have made 3 seperate changes to our flights. First of all the timing of QF9 was changed by...

Had an odd experience the other day. Was flying CBR-SYD-BKK (QF23) with the wife and 2 kids. Our CBR-SYD flight was cancelled due to an unserviceable a/c (no points for guessing it was a 717), the next flight to Sydney was full and the 3rd was delayed. So we missed QF23 and were booked on...

Can anyone advise how you use Thai airways points to upgrade a Thai flight. I have 30k of points to burn and a flight coming up, but cannot for the life of me work out how to use the points to upgrade. If I look at the pathetic Royal Orchard Plus website I can see under redeeming miles the...

I am sitting in the JAS lounge in Jakarta at the moment having just had bit of argument with staff about access. I am flying to Singapore on Jetstar Asia (3K). According to Qantas lounge access rules gold frequent flyers (eg me) have access if your onwards flight is on, among other airlines...

Myself, my wife and our infant son are booked on an international flight leaving on Sunday returning the following Sunday. When we booked both legs the aircraft was down to be an international configuration A330-200, and being a lowly gold I choose row 4 seats for us so we could use the...

Am in London at the moment and went and pickup my Avis hire car I booked through Qantas.com. The car class I booked through Qantas was "premium" with the example car being a BMW3 series. Imagine my surprise when I was handed the keys to a Skoda Octiva. Now I understand hire car companies have...

I reached VA gold about 1 month ago and decided to use the hotel benifit to upgrade my Hilton account, but one month on my Hilton account still shows my paultry blue status. So was curious as to how long it has taken for others to have their Hilton account reflect the benifit. Going to London in...

Just curious if gold FF'ers (or maybe even just life time gold FF'ers) get shadows? The reason I as is I booked some flights yesterday for Canberra-Sydney-Canberra tommorrow. At seat selection time on the outbound flights I choose a window seat in a (forward) economy row that had someone in...

In the past few months I have flow through both Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok bound for Australia. In both locations I noticed Australian immigration staff checking passports of both foreigners and Australians. In all my years of travelling internationally, including through Bangkok many times that I...

Just had my first EK sectors booked under a QF ticket from London Gatwick to Bangkok and I must say I am a little bit disappointed. For years I have been hearing about how good EK are, but from my two flights, admittedly in economy I thought they were average especially in terms of service down...

Sitting in Melbourne Business lounge on my way to London. Had an interesting experience in Canberra on the way though, 3 fails in a row. Firstly priority check-in. Fail. They had a sign that said business/gold etc but no sign for the plebs, so of course the only line in use was the priority...

On Sunday my wife and I am flying to London on QF9 from Melbourne then a week later flying to Bangkok via Dubai on EK metal, but QF flight number, then return via Sydney on QF24. My wife is bronze and I am a gold frequent flyer, all flights in economy, ticket booked on 14th Feb 2013 using...

Does anyone know if Qantas can now issue MH boarding passes (now they are OneWorld) when checking in at a Qantas domestic terminal for a connecting domestic flight? Or is it like the old days where Qantas could check the bag through but you need to visit MH check-in at the international...

Had an interesting experience the other day using a voucher I had for a canceled flight. The voucher had a value of about $550 for two people, with $110 payable as a change fee for canceling the flights in the first place. I choose the dates and times for the flights I wanted and got to the...

Just tried to use points to 'book' an upgrade from business to first for a flight the wife and I are doing from LHR to SYD in a month or so's time, however I get an error that says an upgrade is not available, then lists the possible reasons and one is because the fare could be a discounted...
