Apologies if this has been answered already but I couldn’t find it anywhere: While I’ve seen MH’s general policy here , I wonder if this also goes if the first MH sector is booked as a One World redemption? I’m soon going MEL-KUL, booked on MH as a QF reward ticket. Then I have about 9 hours...

Hello everyone, I find very contradicting information on this so just checking if anyone knows the most recent: Does BA allow for early check in with luggage at Changi? From what I can read, I don’t think they’re part of the Jewel early check arrangements but read somewhere that they allow...

Hi everyone, not sure if that's the right forum but I think this is a weird case, at least I've never had it before. We had booked a JAL Business class flight over half a year back, routing SYD-HND-FJK and back LAX-HND-SYD to catch a Panama canal cruise so our dates are pretty much set in...

I was always curious but when FJ released some really good fares just after opening the country up post Covid, we took the plunge. And contrary to all our fears and some reviews we’ve ready on line, the experience was excellent from start to finish. Boarding in Sydney went seamless and without...

Hi guys, I'm currently in the process of looking for some good Business class fares to travel to Europe in September this year. Everything via the Middle East is super crazy expensive from what I can see- 8k plus per person on Qatar is just a little bit too much being self funded. I suspect the...

What an amazing brand new property! Having stayed at Centric hotels in Montevideo and Miami before, I was curious to see how the new Melbourne property round stack up. Staying here in the first week of opening, I’m delighted to say that it’s amazing. Great location, just a block from Southern...

At least that! That tickle up the nostrils is bad enough if you ask me- got a really awful nurse yesterday who insisted that I must break into tears "as this is the best proof to indicate I got to the spot where I need to go". Needless to say, she fumbled up there for 15 or so seconds until...

Hi guys- I just found out that I will be finally moving back to Sydney after an almost 3 year long stint in New Zealand. I'd usually be super excited about the move and my new job in Australia and all this but relocating right in the middle of a pandemic is a bit of a bummer. Myself and my...

CNN just reported the following: FAA issues restriction on flights in Iraq, Iran, Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman From CNN's Greg Wallace The Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday it was restricting non-military US aircraft “from operating in the airspace over Iraq, Iran, and the waters...

Traveled through the Flounge in Melbourne yesterday and was surprised to be offered a slot in the spa with a new menu. Instead of the former long list of available treatments, there's only four left but they all sound quite relevant to the stressed traveler: The company operating the spa has...

I’ve been a (for the most of it) loyal Qantas customer for many years but have also flown extensively on other carriers due to relocations away from Australia on and off. My latest role is located in Auckland, New Zealand and with my partner still in Australia, we have gotten used to flying back...

Noooooohooooo- the fritters are gone from the breakfast menu o_O :eek::( At least in Sydney they are. But everything is in shambles here at the moment- no priority queue until August, had to wait with the great unwashed for almost an hour to get through emigration and security. The poor check...

Alright- that "Worst in-flight meal" thread persistently stays up on top in this category so I think it's time to ask the opposite too! I happen to have always loved, loved, loved dining on a plane and even though these days with my more or less weekly trans-Tasmans, I am REALLY over the same...

Apologies if this got answered somewhere else already but I am wondering where (if at all) I will be able to buy Duty free: I am connecting from Auckland in Melbourne and then fly on the QF9 onto Perth but understand that this part of the longer MEL-PER-LHR flight is treated as international...

Finally! As per NZHerald, Qatar has confirmed the Qsuite product coming to the Auckland Doha route from 1st of June. As I have a flight booked in September, I am delighted with this news! Qatar Airways rolling out its Qsuite business class on Auckland-Doha route

Apologies in advance if this is covered already somewhere what but what the heck is suddenly going on with evening arrivals into SYD (international)? Arriving into Sydney has never been a joy but since the arrival of the auto e-gates for immigration, at least in the evenings got halfway...

I've just received the following in an email from Qantas: "Qantas has expanded its codeshare agreement with LATAM to include two new destinations in South America, providing customers more opportunities to earn and redeem Qantas Points and Status Credits on flights from Santiago to Colombia and...

To put our trip report into context, this was our third cruise and the first one on Celebrity. Our previous cruises had both been with Royal Caribbean which we understand owns Celebrity as well. The RCC ships were all a bit too gimmicky for us and we hardly ever used all the facilities and...

We'll be coming to Noumea on a cruise in two weeks time and we'd love to leave the ship to have a nice authentic French lunch somewhere close to the port. We've been to Noumea before and had some lovely meals but I remember that the place is not too easy to navigate by foot. If anyone has been...

Hi guys, I'll be traveling South America with my partner over the holidays this year and as part of that, we'll be in Rio over new year. I've been told that just jumping into the fun with Millions of other people at the Copacabana is not the smartest idea as the chance of being mugged or...
