Heading over to WLG on QF J in 10 days. Anything I need to know either on the way in or on the way out later in the week?

Received an invitation from Qantas to view the new 787 at CBR from 12-1 on 30 November. Anyone else get this? I accepted and hop not to be travelling that day,

Just trying to maximise Flounge time.... When do they usually call for JQ International flights to board? Hoping to arrive as the check-in desk opens.

Enduring a trip to coughet with the family on JQ this school holidays... What's everyone's experience with the Flounge menu with respect to kids? While I'm more than happy with spicy pork belly, sashimi, lobster thermidor etc my two boys won't. Do they do something simpler as well as fancy...

I've booked the 4 of us (wife + 2 young boys) SYD - HKT for the September school holidays on my QF reward points. Some questions come to mind: Is my WP status worth anything other than say dinner in the Flounge before takeoff? How do I get a Jetstar booking ref that would allow me to see the...

Realistically, what's the latest I could arrive into Heathrow T3 for QF10 and still comfortably make the flight? I'll be HLO and checked in online. Q2. If I check in online, can I board by just using my QFF card like I can domestically or do I need to get some boarding passes printed at some...

Staying next to Liverpool St Station. Would love to do parkrun at Bushy Park at 9am Sunday morning (all done by say 1000) but am flying back on QF10 departing 1330 Saturday. So best option appears to be check out early, taxi to Bushy Park then taxi on to Heathrow. Problem is I will have my...

Hopping onto QF9/10 in a month or so and don't want to look like a newbie so what are your tips for handling J like a pro? When is the right time to put on the PJ's? Will they try and serve me dinner on departure out of Melbourne? What's to do in DXB during transit? Is it the same plane that...

I'll be travelling CBR - LHR and back in J in the near future and while I'm a QFWP I suspect the QF price will come back cheapest so... I have a lowly red Virgin membership so... Do I simply use that for any miles/ status from this trip or is there some value in joining Krisflyer instead? I...

Can anyone assist with a third party insurer for rental car excess that can accommodate >$8k of excess? I have a trip to Queensland later in the year and can get a good deal on a Mercedes through Europcar but the excess is $8250 and from what I can see most of the online insures tend to top out...

It's been a while since I thought about it but is the old lurk of booking a Dom fare on Mel - Syd using the JQ9/18/27 Int'l flights to get into the Flounge still a thing or did it die out?

Pleased to see it as I stepped off a 717 from MEL

I've been thinking about a trip to SIN with the family and wanted to know if people have any experiences getting too or from the airport with kids requiring child seats (2)? On my own I would normally just go a cab or 'limo' but my wife (and I) are pretty hard line on ensuring our kids are...

I have a colleague looking to take 11 people on an itinerary of: MEL - LAX - JFK - HNL - MEL with a possible side trip up to Canada. Would this qualify for a RTW ticket? Interested in the collective wisdom.

Is it just me or is it really difficult to grab a portion of chips (crisps) using the tongs? Corn ships, no worries but the plain chips are really quite difficult.

I've found some older threads on this but post the QF website upgrade the tips posted don't seem to work. Does anyone know how I might get my flight/ activity data from Qantas extending back beyond the 12 month limitation of the website? I'm trying to build up my flight history.

I've just come back from the family holiday to Queensland and can now report on what I believe to be the worst seat location I have ever experienced. QF 717, last row #23. No window, next to the engine, opposite the galley/ toilet. For the three paying customers and an infant I had selected 2...

Just managed to clock my 34th straight flight in 7D on Qantas. Getting to feel like my comfy chair at home...

Have a family holiday coming up to QLD so thought I would book some car hire through the AMEX Platinum online travel service as I have a $200 credit. The only car hire option that came up was with a company called ACE Rentals. Yard is offsite and pickup is in a minivan. Does this sound right...
