Solved the problem myself. Do not go to Portugal. Fly ex London via Etihad to Sydney.

My wife and I would like to spend up to 6 months in the Euro Zone plus Croatia and England. Moving around a lot. How can we get around the 90 days rules.

Thanks for the two suggestions folks. Taken together with another forum it would appear Beijing is the place. Cheers sirjeff

Hi While on this thread i would like to ask a question about which city I should visit on this 144 hour visa. My wife and I are mid 70s and active and well travelled. Our only trip to China was a quick one over the HKG border for a couple of shirts. We will be travelling from HKG to Danang...

My story comes from a few years back before aircraft flight decks were "no go" zones. My wife and I were flying out of the old international terminal at BNE. We arrived well before the flight. In those days each check in point had its own line. We struck the very slow one full of people...

Has anyone ever tried or used this system. http://www.rateshrinker.com /I have heard good reports but they have been third or fourth hand. Happy for comments.

Bugger. I have already racked up two events for next Saturday. Would have loved to join you. I hope you have a great day. Cheers Sirjeff

I am a newbie and maybe I am being a bit forward. On the other hand I am 72 and been in my own businesses for 50 years or so. So I shall boldly go where others would fear to tread. This thread seems to becoming something of a "he said-she said" circular discussion. Back on page 7 I offered a...

I am a member of a huge world wide travel club. Not expensive to join. It offers at least two topical (amongst many) valuable benefits. 1. They guarantee the price you pay , in this case for an airline ticket, will be the cheapest available on the day. Yesterday I had the opportunity to put...

Back in the "olden days" before the New York disaster my wife and I had been in the check in queue in Brisbane for yonks seemingly behind everyone who hadn't come prepared to fly to New Zealand. Finally when we faced the staff we were informed "no room in the inn" so to speak. We protested...

Approx five years ago my wife was about to take her first solo overseas flight. At the QP service desk she mentioned this to the staff and asked if they could at least block the seat next to her. That was agreed to. About 20 minutes later she was advised "upstairs" had approved an upgrade to...

Thanks again.

Thanks everyone. That gives me the basic answers to my questions. I will now just have to sort out the alphabet soup answer from casanovawa. I have no favourite airline. Just trying to get the best bang for my buck. MEX sounds good for my Central America stop. I can get around from...

G'day Later this year my wife and I would like to take our retirement trip on QF points. The first question is how long can one take to complete a RTW booking? The next question is what route would be best. We will be flying economy. We wish to visit Krabi in Thailand, Split in Croatia...

They are definitely required in Thailand. You may never get asked but if you are you better have one or a Thai license. "Tea money" may be required if it is simply a license check but if it is an accident insurance issues could arise.

While I was recently in Thailand a work mate was bringing a tube of moistuiser up to me. He travelled on the same airline to Bangkok via Singapore. The moisturiser made it to Singapore but although he had come off the same aircraft he was not alllowed back on with the moisturiser...

I have a friend who regularly used to book cheap fares out of COL via SIN to LHR and not use the first leg. This was soon woken up to and as a previous posted remarked., the first leg into SIN must be used.
