I'm flying MEL-DPS with JQ on Friday and assumed I'd have to check in at the airport based on previous posts here. I've completed online check in and I now have a mobile boarding pass which suggests to can bypass the check in queue if I don't have a bag. Does anyone have recent experience ex...

I just had a very helpful agent work with me to get a LHR-PER-MEL U seat released for next year. I was going to tag on a BA leg DUB-LHR to reduce the APD and also I've never been to Ireland so could spend a couple of days there. The agent told me that that would be an extra 20k points in J...

I'm flying on QF93 next week and wondering if anyone has data points since MEL F Check In reopened on how early you can check in. Any success at earlier than 3 hours? Thanks in advance!

I recall reading something on the net but can't find it that suggested that Citi don't have a 12 month (or longer) rule for CC sign ups like most providers. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? I'm trying to be slightly cryptic in case this is supposed to be a secret.

Mum is 77 and is in excellent health. Now the world has opened up she's like to do a couple of trips to visit relatives in the US and UK. For a 3 week trip to the US Covermore quoted around $1500. Any suggestions for other companies to try? I think TID don't cover 75+.

I've got a quick (70 min) Intl to Dom connection later today after a QF schedule change so every minute may count. If I miss the flight I'll need to wait another 3 or 4 hours for the next flight. I'm flying AKL-SYD in J and can be in Row 1 or Row 6. Can anyone shed light as to which door the...

I'm curious as to whether others think this is worth a complaint to QF. I recently travelled CDG-LHR-SIN-MEL-SYD (yes it was exhausting) with BA/QF in J on a OWE award ticket. At BA check in at CDG they were able to check my bags through but not issue any other boarding passes. They also...

I'm coming up to T-80 in a few hours for a QF J international flight on a 787 as part of a One World Award itinerary. Previously I was able to select a (not great) seat and have a reminder set to pick a better one. When I try to choose my seat I get the message "Individual seat selection isn't...

I'm heading off overseas next week with a RTW ticket on points. I know there are a few policies out there covering Covid. Is anyone aware of one that would cover my itinerary coming to a halt if I missed a flight due to Covid?

I mentioned this in another thread but it probably deserves its own. When I lived in the US a few years back I used Google Fi for my mobile service. They use T mobile network among others. At the time data was a lot more expensive and it was quite good value. It is $20 for unlimited calls...

I'm going to use a free night in Auckland in July overnighting on a status run. Assuming I have my choice of Accor properties, where do you recommend? I'm currently booked at the Sofitel but I'm thinking being closer to the action for a one night stay is preferable. I've never been to...

I have about 5 dozen bottles I want to unload as I'm relocating and don't want to take them with me. They're nothing fancy, maybe $25 a bottle on average. Any suggestions for the best way to sell them without a liquor licence? I assume one of the wine auctions is the way to go but not sure...

I'm heading overseas in a month for an extended period and need to get 4 squiggles before I go. I have considered flying QF out of Ausralia but I think I'd prefer to do an award booking on CX (to the USA). Any suggestions for the most cost effective options are appreciated. I'd prefer not to...

I noticed this over at OzBargain. Pricing and availability seems very good. Get $200 off return flights to the USA - Air New Zealand - Australia Site Does anyone know if a travel agent could tack QF107/108 on the itinerary to get to NYC? Edit: As per the OzBargain comments it's even cheaper...

I'm curious how this works. Do Y and F pax use the same door on the lower level? If so what's to stop you getting stuck in a big line waiting to board? Is the trick to board at first call or final call?

I think it would be useful to keep a record of board members' experiences checking in prior to 3 hours at the MEL F check in. Please include flight number, date, scheduled departure time and check in time. Flight: QF93 Date: April 2012 SDT: 9:35 Check In: 6:05 F check in was closed when I...

I tried to book via the call centre a combined FASA MEL-LAX and JASA LAX-JFK but was told the fare basis of the cash fare made this not possible and I'd have to book the second part as a classic award. Has anyone been able to do this? perhaps I just got an agent who wasn't sure how it's done...
