Going to test memories here- but this is bugging me!! About two years ago, there was a marketing company allowing passengers to demo high end headsets in the BA first lounge at T5. I absolutely loved them- and would equally love to know what they were and look out for a pair if I can ever...

Hey all - I'm flying Honolulu to mainland US next year with wife and kids. I have platinum with Qantas - is my reading correct in that I'll be allowed one checked bag up to 23kgs free, but for any others we'll need to pay US$30? Thanks all!!

Hey all! I'm thinking about Christmas holidays and where to go. Does anyone know if JQ has any domestic flights leaving from Melbourne or Sydney international terminals around that time of year? It would be nice to start our trip with a first lounge visit - I'm not travelling much at the moment...

Hi all - I've got a window of opportunity to go literally anywhere from Stansted on Sunday 28 April in the evening. Is there any way I can get a timetable to see what flights are going out on that evening, rather than going through each airline and then each destination to check times? Thanks!!

Sitting in the QF 1st lounge at Melb, I noticed a 747 flying QF430 today. Would that be a one off (i.e. how can I book onto it next time!)?! I was here this time last week too and noticed an empty 747 flying up to Sydney at about the same time - so wondering if they need one ferried up on a...

So I had my last work flight of the year on Friday (one more holiday flight to go!), which happened to be my 150th QF flight for the year. I flew Syd - Mel at the back of the bus- my fare to sit in seat 27B was a very reasonable $949 one way! Anyway- I thought I’d mark it with a glass of red...

Hi all! I’ve noticed that, when I fly JQ on a max fare, the FF points and SCs never automatically hit my account, so I need to do a missing flight request each time. You might remember my last post about how I just missed out on platinum because I was waiting on lots of flights to credit...

Maybe posting here will make me feel a little better about my failing! I dropped from plat to gold late last year. Have been flying lots domestically since March, so started to push back up towards the required 1,400. My big problem - using the odd JQ flight as Avalon was a bit easier for me...

Hi folks - I tried to book 'business' class on the Dreamliner flight on Thursday, but it says sold out. A quick look at other Thursday's and they all say sold out. Reckon this is correct or do they just not sell these seats? Cheers :-)

So, what a day Sunday was... Had my inaugural flight on a 787 over to Perth but must have enjoyed it a little too much, as I appear to have left both my QC35s and my Apple AirPods onboard :-( I've called Qantas at Perth and Melbourne, Perth airport lost property and WA police. Can anyone think...

Hey folks- sending this from the great isle of Rotto, while receiving the reminder email about 30% off QF rewards! I'd love some inspiration as to where I could go- youngish family of mum, dad and two kids from Melbourne, preferably early May and preferably out of Aus. Fiji would be amazing...

Folks - I asked this in the Hilton area - but IHG and Hyatt are my other two other two options! Roughly (in Aus) - how many nights do I need in the intercontinental (at about $300 per night) to accumulate enough points for a reward night. Still trying to suss out where to stay next week (and for...

Folks - I know its really not that straight forward but, roughly, how many nights (at say AUD$300 per night) do I need (as a basic level HHonors member) to receive a reward night (of say 20,000 points which is I think about what I spent on a reward night in Cairns). Back in the day, it was only...

Hey all - I’m about to be commuting to Perth weekly for about three months. I don’t have any hotel loyalty status just now, so would be starting fresh with everyone (I might still be silver with Hilton). What’s everyone’s thoughts on the best place to stay these days in terms of loyalty program...

Hi all- looking for some help please :) I'm arriving into Dubai at about 8am on Tuesday and leaving at 3am on Wednesday morning. We're a young family and have lots of bags. The flight was booked as a multi destination to break the journey back to Aus up a bit. When we arrive, we'll be...

Hi all I'm 385 credits short of retaining plat with my membership year ending on 31 Oct. I got a voicemail from qantas FF saying that they were offering the chance to retain plat with points and to call them back if I'd be interested. I'm currently in the U.K. and it's a bit pricy to call and...

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but... Booking MEL - DXB on EK (cheaper than on QF website) - it's suggesting the three EK options, and also the QF flight - all very similar prices. I'm flying economy, and I'm QF plat. Any thoughts on which would be the best flight to pick...

Hopefully this is the right place to post! I'm after 290 credits by the end of October - planned travel probably gets me about 70ish - so any ideas to economically get the rest would be much appreciated. Plus - I have just activated a 50% more status credits offer... hopefully keep me at plat!!

I was going to CDG on Tuesday evening from LHR, but would like to leave Paris for now and go elsewhere (like anywhere for a few child free nights). Is there anyway to get a list of everywhere BA fly to from about 1830 on Tuesday and we can they just pick somewhere (non-uk)? Only time we can go...

Looking for your thoughts here- have I aged prematurely and am I now just an angry old dude, or was I right to be angry! My flight landed this arvo, turned off the runway for a long taxi (landed on the southerly runway at Avalon). Even before the aircraft left the runway, a dude sitting in the...
