    Will an airline confirm/deny if someone successfully boarded a flight?

    I'm sure the answer is almost always "no" due to privacy concerns. But are there any circumstances where an airline would give up this information (without a police request, etc). Have not heard from my better half during their 8hr transfer at DXB, using "Dubai Connect" hotel service. It's a...

    Booked a non-changeable non-refundable room on the wrong date - Do I have options?

    The thread title says it all. Like a moron I booked a room on hotels.com and I chose the cheapest room option which is non-changeable. Once the email confirmation came through I realised that I booked for 1 day later than I intended. I've called them twice and they won't let me change the...

    Lost Qantas Q card :: What happens?

    Hi, I just realised tonight that I have lost my Q card. Most likely it was left in a seat pocket on my last flight. I'm not too concerned about it. I'll be calling the QFF service centre when they open at 8am tomorrow. But it did get me thinking about what might happen if the card got into the...

    SYD terminal bus transfer

    Frankly, it's horrible. I acknowledge that there is no easy fix to this, but the SYD transfer is probably the worst part of my Qantas experience. It's been a while since I've tried the paid transfer by train so I don't know if it's much better, but I'll be giving it another go next time. The...

    Possible to upgrade family member with points < T-24?

    My sister is flying QF (domestic) today at 6pm and I'd like to upgrade her as surprise (using my points) if possible. I tried phoning QF and they said no due to the short notice. Is there another angle I can use? Do I play call-centre bingo? Or am I s*** out of luck? Would have obviously...

    MEL-SYD weekly commute - talk me out of it

    I'm in MEL and there's a job opportunity in SYD. I really want the job. I have a house, girlfriend, dog, family, etc in MEL. Working remotely is not an option. Moving will also be a very difficult undertaking (for various reasons). Most of my time would need to be in SYD. I'm thinking...

    A shout out to the birds in the MEL J lounge

    They've been buzzing around the lounge since well before Christmas, and they're showing no signs of leaving. :)

    QF Waitlist (domestic)

    My g/f is due back in town tomorrow. Her company sent her flight details through today. Her booking actually has 2 flights listed in it, and both of them are CBR-MEL (a bit over an hour apart). The earlier flight home currently has a status of "Waitlisted". The later flight is...

    Swapping seats w/ travelling partner. Maintaining WP/FFPL. Things.

    My domestic leisure travel is always in discount-Y, and in the future will almost always be with my g/f. So, what's the skinny on swapping seats before or after take-off? I'm wondering if, for our leisure trips & family visits, can I book JASA for myself and discount Y for my girlfriend...

    Qantas Club Double Pass RRP = $48

    I don't believe QF has actually started selling double passes. But, I thought it was interesting to note that the stated recommend retail value for a double pass is $48, as per the terms of their latest twitter promotion. Qantas Club Pass - Twitter Competition Terms and Conditions This is the...

    Jetstar: Tri-fold garment bag as "small item" (carry-on baggage)?

    I was wondering if anyone had any experience getting a tri-fold garment bag on JQ(35/36) as the "small item"? It looks like a largish laptop bag I guess. http://www.victorinox.com/ch/product/Travel-Gear/Collections/Werks-Traveler-4-0/WT-Porter/31301601 Here is the Jetstar page on Cabin...

    Cancel and rebook at a Lower rate - ok?

    I've got a stay with a Hilton property coming up. I'm noticing as the date gets closer the price they are quoting gets cheaper. Do they get annoyed if you cancel and rebook at the lower rate the day before you are due to stay?

    JQi check in time for delayed flight

    JQ 29 is delayed by 55 minutes today. I was aiming to get to the airport at exactly 3hrs before the scheduled departure. Can someone tell me if check in is likely to open at the normal time? Or does JQ shift it accordingly? Spent the last 10mins searching AFF & google. Couldn't find anything. :\

    JQ Flight Loadings

    Can someone shed some light on this for me? I'm looking at the flight loadings on a couple of Jetstar flights this Thursday. They are almost exactly the same, and every fare class is either 4 or 0. It seems to me like this wouldn't be a coincidence, and maybe they are showing a 4...

    Problem trying to book on CX: TPE-HKG-MEL

    I'm hoping someone can help me out. Trying to book a TPE-HKG-MEL flight and I'm getting this error when I try to go to the payment page (after filling out my name & contact details). For testing purposes I tried booking TPE-HKG-MNL instead and I was able to get through to the payment page. I...

    CX J cabin HKG-MEL

    Hey guys, Does anyone know if Cathay is currently flying their "New Business Class" cabin between HKG-MEL? (I see that they rolled it out on HKG-SYD in March). Seems like the new cabin will be better if flying with SWMBO? Current/Old: Business Class Cabin, Travel Classes - Cathay...

    Prediction: QP guests will be enhanced next. What do you think?

    If I was a betting man (which I am) I'd put money on the next enhancement being related to guests. It'd be an instant $$$ win for QF if they restricted QP/SG/WP pax to a small-to-medium sized number of yearly guest passes (perhaps initially for non-travelling pax) and forced them to pay for a...

    Transferring Qantas Club Membership? Possible?

    I qualified SG then WP a few weeks ago, there was around 3 months left on my Qantas Club membership at this time. I am trying to find a way that I can transfer the remaining membership time to SWMBO, or at the very least, get her a QP membership without having to pay the joining fee. At...
