Never happened in J or F but crew normally advise if they need meal order before or shortly after takeoff so then you can get some sleep. In fact friends in J on Emirates MEL to DXB, only got offered "cold" breakfast selection as crew didn't want to wake them up to ask if they wanted anything...

Wow….where exactly is that in Uzbekistan. It looks beautiful.

Cruise and hotel laundry prices are crazy!! Almost cheaper to go and buy the item new and throw out the old!! When travelling thru Europe (Italy, France, Spain & Portugal) last year with friends every week or so we would find a Laundrette/Dry cleaners and they would usually for a LARGE bag...

Well I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed your QF first experience because l for one will never bother to fly first wth them again.! After flying Aus - Europe at least once a year for the last 10+ year with Emirates first, we got bumped to a QF Sing - Syd First in Nov. To say l was disappointed...

I have had an Esim in my phone for a while now and love it.! When we've landed in Europe, we just pop the local sim in and you can use that for data. I guess my only comment is that with Telstras International Roaming plan (mind you we are talking 2019) nearly all calls to home were free and in...

Nope....can't get away from this country and its lockdowns and rules quick enough!!. We've spent the past 15 years travelling and cruising for at least 6 weeks a year all over the world and to be locked here for the past 2 years has been terrible (especially in Victoria!). Last trip was Oct-Dec...

Hi Pushka, Thanks for the welcome to the "exclusive" club...! ;);) Oooh jugular sounds nasty! Never knew you could get them there. Yes have had all the tests (i have a fantastic Haematologist!) but l do not have any clotting condition. Totally out of the blue though they did suggest "the pill"...

Just wondering if any one here has some advice on Travel Insurance. In May 2017 purchased annual travel policy with QBE to cover some small trips and European Cruise and travel for July/August 2018. In Sep 2017 i had a DVT (Clot in my leg) which broke apart and travelled to my Lungs (PE -...

Morning Fellow AFF Members I received an email this morning offering a discounted membership to the Founders Card. I have heard of them before but normally delete the email. However this time some of their offers sound ok with many discounts. Is anyone a member and do you find it beneficial...

This is my insurance story. The one thing NOT mentioned in most Travel Insurance Policy PDS is what happens between taking out the policy and leaving for the trip! In July 2017 I took out travel insurance for a cruise we are taking July 2018. Being perfectly fit and healthy l had no...

Thanks to everyone who has replied. Looks like we will just have to allow plenty of time pre-flight!! Lucky we have lounge access...!!!

We were there 4 years ago and lines weren't too bad, but our Travel Agent is now advising that with the latest "issues" they are being told to allow 3.5hrs between connecting flights to ensure customs/TSA clearance. I guess i just thought that given every other country does it the USA may have...

Oops....silly me....!! Yes did mean American. So do you know if you can "buy/subscirbe" to Pre-Check? Cheers

Hi There Hubby & I are visiting the USA in June this year and have booked our LAX, Boston, Detroit, Dallas, LAX flights all with Australian Airlines first class so that we can earn QF points. Question is, when travelling First last year to Europe and Dubai we were given Priority passes to get...

Hi Guys Wanting to book 2 x Business on Qantas MEL - OOL return using QF points. When l did an enquiry as to how many points, system advises no such class, however when l look at seat availability there are stacks of seats.! When is Qantas recommencing flights to OOL as couldn't find anything...

Hubby and l have been using Etymotic In Ear headsets for some years now. We just bought the HF3 "in ear" ones, which also double as headsets with our iPhones. Nice feature of these is that Etymotic has released a free iPhone/iPod app called Awareness so that even though they are noise canceling...

Well actually I always thought that the wording stated "the majority" of the trip had to be paid by card. Therefore, given we normally use points for business/first class airfares we have always taken out separate travel insurance.

I have just joined AFF and have so far really enjoyed some of the discussions I have read. Hubby and l have booked 2x f to Mel-lax-Mel in June on the a380 and we can't wait. We have always flown j but since it's hubby's 60th thought it would be a nice pressie! Just reading thru this thread, I...
