Flying to Sydney tomorrow to set myself up there with daylight saving beginning (don't want to have to get an OMG o'clock flight on Monday, given I'll lose an hour). Yes, crazy as it's a public holiday but the things you do for clients who are teachers. Utilising my newly minted Gold Accor...

I'm a novice when it comes to QR. My step MIL had a flight BNE/DOH/CWL (Cardiff in Wales) cancelled in 2020 due to COVID and had an EMD issued (see below). So now she wants to go back (visiting her sons and grandkids) but QR don't fly to CWL at the moment, so looks like she now has to get to...
