We have three weeks planned in Turkey in April 2024. Looking at a car rental (though will avoid driving in Istanbul). Planning on renting in Cappadocia and return near Istanbul. (likely Bursa). The trip will include Cappadocia, Konya and the South Coast. I am fine with driving "left hand" and...

I was intending to fly from SIN to SYD on delayed QF82 on Friday 4 August. The flight (a A380 was delayed leaving Sydney until 730 pm.) It was due to leave SIN at 4am on the Saturday, 7.30 hours late. I called Qantas and decided to return on QF2 the following day, rather than stay up until 4am...

Quick question on how to contact Qantas in HK (at the airport) I left me iPad on the plane from AKL-SYD last night. That aircraft then went to HK as QF117. The same plane will return tonight as QF98 to Brisbane. Find my Iphone has the iPad in the aircraft parking areas at HK airport. Anyone...

I hold a Westpac Altitude Black Amex (With the Mastercard). I spoke to their call centre and asked re devaluation from April 15, 2019. The call centre staff told me that Altitude rewards would not be changing from April 2019. My question is - Has anyone else heard this or did I get an...

I am about to purchase China Airlines (CI) business return flights to Europe. My question is "Which frequent flyer program to join, given I am based in Sydney". I can see use for Delta Miles, as travel to the US, but is there a local credit card that allows you to transfer miles to Delta...

I arrived from HKG and left SIN via the new Terminal 4 this week. Some observations. T4 is empty in week one of operation! CX, VN and KE seemed to use the terminal as well as some obscure budget carriers. Next week AirAsia joins. Everyone including the security staff were amazingly friendly...

For the date i want to travel a one way fare is US$123 in Y v $254 in J. I am trying to think is this "worth" the difference (I know this is obviously subjective) The plane is a 738. Thoughts on business class on this plane with AA? The flight is just over 2 hours. As a QF Platinum i would...

I am currently a HHonors Silver and will move to Gold shortly with an employer based incentive. My question is, I have Qantas as a partner, so i earn Points and Miles, rather than Points and Points. Is this the best use of my Hilton points? I will use the points for @ Hilton for personal...

300 passengers stuck on Singapore Airlines flight at Auckland Airport after failed takeoff | Stuff.co.nz Noticed this.. Unusual, they didn't unload plane.. Guess they thought it would be quick to resolve, rather than the 6+ hours it has been so far.

I will be on QF7 arriving to Dallas (an award booking). This flight arrives at 1-30 pm. I then want to go to Atlanta. I realise Qantas arrives at Terminal D, and looks like Atlanta flight is terminal C. How long should I leave? I can go on a 4-45 pm or 6-45 pm AA flight from DFW to ATL. I...

I returned last week from JFK to HKG via LAX. I had the "dread" on what the experience would be, even though flying business. Arrived @ JFK with 2 hours to spare and had the TSA obligatory 30 mins que. Then went to the new "Flagship Lounge" for Emerald and First Class passengers. Despite it...

Looking at Premium Economy flights to NY in December 2017 and thinking of budget now. Looks like pricing is currently AUD 4800, which is not that cheap. Has anyone seen PE flights go much lower? Alternatively any suggestions on business class for not that much more than 4800. Thanks!

I am currently PPS and have been for 4 years. This year, my SQ travel is limited. I will likely only receive enough points to retain Silver (which is not worth much at all). Question : Does SQ gradually downgrade you to Gold or will I go straight to Silver and be locked out of any material...

Later today, I am flying CX business. I am over the terrible CX contracted lounge at Changi. Can I and a guest also flying CX business use the QF lounge at Changi? Thanks

Background This wont be a detailed report or include any photos, but observations from my two sector UL Business class flight. In January SQ economy direct flights to Rome for September were approx SGD$2000 return. Cheaper options included Thai and the middle east carriers, but of course all...

Increasingly I travel far more on Cathay. Business SIN to HKG, some economy into China and occasional HKG to SYD. I am Qantas platinum and lifetime Gold. There is no real benefit to accrue more status with Qantas. Flying Cathay also gives more points than accrue the points to QF. Has anyone...

Booking a trip from SIN to SYD at the end of the team 3 NSW school holidays in early October, PE was approx 1268 SGD whereas the cheapest Economy was 100 dollars more. SQ Premium economy cheaper also than BA and QF economy on the dates I needed to travel. Both planes will be A380s, where the PE...

Hi all, I am a LTG and now have 17023 Lifetime QF status credits. I tend to fly more Star Alliance now being Singapore based. I assume others on the forum have many more SC. I know there is no lifetime platinum, but has anyone had any "soft" benefit from Qantas with significantly more Lifetime...

Hi all, Two separate business trips Return HKG to SIN (CX 711 Arr 8-20 pm). Same evening SIN-SYD (QF6 leave 11:50 pm). Obviously lots of time, but can I check my luggage through even though they are on separate tickets, as both carriers are One World? I spoke to our work travel agent, who...
