Noticed that acronyms and abbreviations are used alot in AFF. In one thread alone, I've noticed the following abbreviations being used: - YMMV, LTG. WP, SR, SG, P1, CLPO, FWIW, CSM, CSS, HLO. Being a novice in this game, can someone point me to anywhere in AFF where such acronyms are defined.

Thanks for your comments. Seems UA on the 787-9 is worth a try for Melbourne flyers. Great to have choice & competition for flights from MEL.

Has anyone been on this direct flight to LA? How was their business class? How would you rate it against Qantas A380 business class. I'm tossing between United and Qantas. United is cheaper by a fair amount on this new plane.

Sometime ago I was travelling on an island hop single propeller type plane in Samoa where passengers have to be individually weighed and seat allocated accordingly to balance the load of the plane. Being amongst the lightest in comparison with the islanders I was the last to get on the plane...

I'm travelling from MEL to SYD on QF450 and then on CI052 to Taipei. As the 2 airlines are not partners, I will have to collect my luggage in Sydney domestic, travel across to the international terminal, check in to China Airlines, collect boarding pass and go through security/immigration...

Re: Be careful when using bank issued travel money cards - not as safe as you may thi Put simply a Travel Card is no more than a debit card with the ability to load multiple foreign currencies. It functions exactly like a credit/debit card and you should treat it accordingly. All the risks...

Best Place: Vienna, Austria for its culture, history and fabulous cakes & coffee. Worst: Dili, East Timor too sad and dejected for me.

I'm travelling Madrid to Singapore on BA ticket transiting thru LHR. That means a T5 to T3 connection requiring a minimum time of 90 minutes. The MAD to LHR leg is well known for delays so may have less than the MCT for the transit, especially after reading all the forums on LHR...

I'll be taking a flight from Madrid to Singapore on a BA ticket transiting thru LHR. I assume that my luggage will be checked through from Madrid to Singapore. If I'm delayed at Heathrow going thru departure security lines and missed my flight: - Will my luggage go through to Singapore on...

What happens if the one ticket is discounted international economy. Say my ticket is from Madrid to London BA463 transiting through Heathrow for a BA7310 (codeshare QF) last flight to Singapore, then stopover for 5 days there before QF292 back to Melbourne. If my MAD to LHR flight is delayed...

Booked via Expedia on credit card.

A leg of my journey from London to Melbourne is on QF292 from SIN to MEL. When I purchased the ticket I did not know then that it was operated by Jetstar. Even though it is a Qantas fare, I am only getting free check-in luggage service but have to pay for my meals & drinks. What's the point...

To put me in a better position to understand what are the critical points that impact on this connection from T5 to T3, can someone comment on the following: 1. Time from arrival gate at T5 to the airside bus. (best & worse case scenario). 2. Frequency of transit bus (10 minutes worse case...

I'll be arriving into LHR terminal 5 from Madrid on BA483 at 21:00 and transit to terminal 3 for my BA7310 flight to SIN at 22:30 on a Sunday. Is one and a half hour enough to achieve a successful transfer, the LHR website seems to indicate that is adequate. - How do I get from T5 to T3 ? -...

Has anyone booked with this online agency called eDreams? Their prices are very attractive especially intra Europe, but how reliable are their services?

Thanks superpang. Will definitely explore your suggestion.

Will be in Paris for 6 days. Can anyone suggest a good central location to stay. Close to metro lines, cafes, restaurants and shops but not too far away from the usual tourists attractions.

I'll be flying to Paris and noticed the airlines arrive and depart from either ORLY or CDG airport. I've haven't picked my airline yet but would like to know the pros and cons for each airport. Mainly in terms of ease getting into & out of Paris by the various modes of public transport. The...

I'll be returning from Dallas to Melbourne via Brisbane on QF008/QF611. Presumably can check my luggage all the way thru to MEL but clear custom at BNE.

I'm travelling MEL/SYD/DFW/YVR on QF420/QF007/AA364 and would like to know whether my luggage can be checked in at Melbourne all the way to Vancouver or will I have to collect it in Dallas after my Qantas leg and recheck in from there to Vancouver? Thanks.
