Just booked flights on QR for my honeymoon in October! Flying the new A350 from Adelaide to Doha, connect to Budapest (which I understand is an A320?). Then return from Paris to Doha, Doha to Adelaide again on the A350. All flights booked in Y but as someone who loves to travel, I am just...

I think I know the answer but would like the brains trust to confirm. Am I correct in stating they have abolished the NZ departure tax? Departing from WLG in the next few weeks but not having been to NZ for some years I was unsure, the internet provides conflicting reports.

As many of you would be, I am a cricket fanatic and had planned a week of annual leave to spend interstate relaxing and then returning before the first day of the second test here in Adelaide. With the sad passing of Phillip Hughes, the tests were rescheduled and I was now in a pickle being...

Randomly checking Flightaware, I have noticed that flights on the 19th and 24th this month have both been around the 20 hour mark for flight time, passing over Hawaii which is not usual route. They do not appear to have landed at HNL. Any word on what has happened on these dates? If the pattern...

Afternoon all, Was just wondering if anyone on here has had any flights ex ADL on the new EK services which have been running for the last month. Any information of loads, the flight itself would be great, anything really! I'm just hoping that it's a profitable route and it stays put.

Afternoon all, I'll be coming back through Singapore on a trip to Helsinki. Have a 3.5 hour stopover before boarding the plane back to Australia. Landing and then departing from T1, I'd like to visit T2. Is 3.5 hours sufficient time to change Terminals, have a look then back to T1 to leave...

I'm travelling to NZ in a few weeks and of course, looking forward to topping up on some top shelf gin from duty free on my return! Dilemma - The routing for the return trip home is Queenstown - Christchurch, Christchurch - Auckland, Auckland - Melbourne. Should we A) Buy duty free in...
