Mr HTL and self were sitting in foyer of Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas when a LOL - it used to mean Little Old Lady - sat next to me and overheard us speaking and asked where I was from. "Australia" says I "Oh, that's that little old place where they made 'The Sound of Music' " she replied. When I...

Looking for reasonably priced accommodation in London within vicinity of Paddington station mid-April 2015. It is only a couple of years since we were in London last but the costs of hotel stays seemed to have jumped incredibly. Any help appreciated.

Haven't read all the threads BUT I'M NOT HAPPY EITHER, JAN. Booked to return from US via DFW to BN early November but it is not happening now. We have to do that long flight to Sydney and then fly to Brisbane 2 hours later. I am really not very happy at all. Last trip we had to do a refuel in...

I stand to be corrected (probably by Mr HTL) BUT when travelling J on RTW OW tickets, one trip took us to LHR at 0600 to, I think, Terminal 5 and we went to a BA arrivals lounge where we were able to shower etc and another one took us to Terminal 3 where we were able to use the AA lounge for the...

Mr HTL and I travel international J once every two years and this gets us to SG which lasts us for the following year for any domestic travel. We are retirees with a limited income but feel that choosing our seats, using the lounge after travelling to and from airports, and priority boarding are...

"Now you look next time her dress blows up!"

Just read the whole lot - sounded like such a great trip. Have been but didn't appreciate it as much as through the great photos posted here. Thanks for all that 'moderation'.

Like Ansett we, too, have been told on asking that we had to request upgrade prior to travel, but it has obviously worked the other way for some people. Last October we had requested upgrade from business to first on A-380 from Singapore to London when we made our original bookings. We received...

Apart from not wishing to watch someone taking care of their personal grooming, there is one other thing that really bugs me when the lounges are busy - people who like to give their cabin baggage a lounge chair as well as themselves. Had this happen in Dallas recently and there were hardly any...

Currently in DFW, here two weeks ago after flight from LHR, changed time on watch, but tiredness and jetlag obviously made me mistake by an hour. On way to Tucson for a reunion dinner that evening and husband sent message saying that I should be boarding by then - he was doing taxi service at...

Re: Approaches for dealing with 'electronic devices off' Why is it that some people think they are above the rules? I hope they are never one who finds out, too late, that they were wrong and only their phone survives the crash. Good on you Austman for trying. I did too, but had a slightly...

Like a previous AFFer said - I don't want to be the one to find out that it is a safety risk. Returning from Sydney last week, and sometime after the announcements were made, the young man next to me was asked by the FA to turn off his phone and he ignored her. Eventually I very quietly...

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for why they extend status. We used Qantas Business RTW in Oct'10. Assumed our status would only last 12 months and we don't do a lot of domestic but it is nice to have the use of lounges etc when needed. We didn't get any notification until last...

Thanks for the quick reply. I assume that we have to pay the membership fees on top of that joining fee?

Can anybody pls tell me how much it costs to join Qantas Club for husband and self? That is without having to tell you the birth date of my mother-in-law's uncle?

As above re the signage. Most people have done some research but it is great to have it confirmed in clear signs or by 'happy' immigration/customs officers. The other thing that is a lovely extra is an Arrivals lounge after long flight as at LHR. Drove through part of Florida and departed...

No BAM71 he hasn't travelled yet. Not until October. He is flying Y+ to LAX with Qantas and then Y on following day to DFW and VPS with AA. Same for return.

My husband has booked a flight to US. BNE-LAX-DFW-VPS and return through Flight Centre and although his bookings are with Qantas and AA only one of the AA flights is showing frequent flyer points. Neither the Flight Centre person nor 2 different people at Q could tell him why not. One suggested...

Glad all sorted. Did this once from BNE with Virgin and had hours to spare to transfer to Qantas in SYD. After three announcements that aircraft had a fault and it was being fixed the flight was eventually cancelled. We then had to do an Olympic sprint down to the baggage collection and reclaim...

Seat choice Travelling to BN-LAX Y+ QF15 11Oct and returning QF16 16Oct. Can anybody recommend seat preference please?
