Qantas is now flying directly Sydney-Vancouver during ski season and northern summer. This is great for us Canadians who prefer to avoid going through the US. :p However, the scheduling on the QF website for Sydney to Toronto through Vancouver uses an Air Canada flight from VVR to YYZ. It is...

My husband and I are travelling to South America next May on the LAN/QF code-share flight from Sydney to Santiago via Auckland (one way LAN metal, the other QF). We decided to use some QFF points for my husband on QF321/QF28 but I have a paid ticket as a LAN passenger on LA800/LA807, which was...

If you are heading to Hon Kong, the Icon Hotel at Tsim Sha Tsui East, Kowloon is highly recommended. A club room includes an excellent breakfast (buffet or a la carte), morning and afternoon tea, and drinks/canapes at night. The minibar is free (couple of beers, soft drink, water, muesli bars...

Last month, a good return J fare to New York on QF was on offer but only for a few days. The fare was available for travel commenced by Dec 31 2013. As we were planning to go to NY at the end of the year anyway, we decided to take up the offer and called QF. All good until I could not book...

We're flying Air Vanuatu from Sydney to Pt Vila in August using an Any Seat Award. It's a short weekend trip so going economy (yikes). Does anyone have any tips or warnings about this airline?

What's the etiquette on armrests? On the occasions that I've had to endure a middle economy seat (never by choice), my window and aisle travellers seem to assume both middle armrests are theirs, even extending to elbows straying into the centre seat space. I know economy seating can be cramped...

My husband and I are travelling to Argentina in August, arriving into Beunos Aires Pistarini (EZE) at 10:50am. We will then have to transfer to the other airport Aeropark (AEP) to catch a LAN flight to Bariloche. How long is the transfer and what is the best way to do it? Is there a LAN lounge...
