I was trying to book a redemption flight for me and my partner from Helsinki back to either/or SYD/MEL/CBR/DPO, but could not find a single redemption flight to Australia for December/Jan. Then I found alternative flights all the way to KL, which is an excellent place for a few days' break. Now...

I've flown into and out Sydney and Melbourne many times but have isle seats and not flying for the views... this time I have a friend from Finland and want to know (statistically) which side of the plane to sit for best views both landing and take off for both Sydney and Melbourne. We are...

In the past 25 years I have usually been a Silver or Platinum flyer and received Qantas Club access when flying on almost any OneWorld Alliance service and my QC fees were often waived due to status. Then my health declined and I no longer travel that much. Also my budget is a lot tighter as I...

I've been looking to buy a fare to Asia in mid February from Canberra/Sydney. Though my destination is Langkawi I could fly to Singapore, KL, Bangkok,... and enjoy myself for a few days before making my way to Langkawi, Malaysia. I am a QC member, but they always let me down so I am not...

Wow, not sure how it works out the cost, but I had to book a flight from Singapore to Amsterdam and then to Canberra (May-June 2016). The Etihad website quoted me SGD1200 (about $1200!), which I consider a bargain. It also allows free stopovers if i wished in India or AbuDhabi etc. Too bad I...

I used to take pride in flying Qantas and would happily pay a little more to fly Qantas, I've watched Qantas go down the drains for the past decade, but now I cant even justify renewing my Qantas Club membership! In earlier days I got its complimentary due to status, and I wouldn't be...

I fronted up to the Perth Qantas check-in counter at 6am with my 79 y/o mother. I was flying to USA, mum to Canberra, we were flying together from Perth to Sydney,where I was to escort her to the Canberra flight. I was denied boarding as my ESTA confirmation number was not valid. I had applied...

It seems to me that when I was a Platinum QFF for years and years I had oodles of redemption flight options availability. Now that I am finally reduced to Bronze and my QC has also just expired (I think I'll renew...) I seem to have a lot less flights to choose from. I also know that if you...

A friend of mine has just moved to Cocos Keeling Island and I want to visit! I heard you can fly from Perth and/or Singapore and like to visit both those locations. Has anyone got any suggestions on points or dollar or RTW or any other good way to visit Cocos Island? Although I am in Devonport...

I got my 71 y.o. mother and the 7 y.o. twins to the airport too late at the end of their Cairns visit, and they were checking in one minute past the closing of flight time... (It closed while they stood in line). Mother had one suitcase, and the kids had carry-on only. The suitcase I could have...

ANZ VISA has upped fees to a ridiculous level. Qantas has increased their multi-destination 30000pt. trip by adding 10 000 points per stopover... No way am i paying $215 for me and my partner to have the Qantas ANZ Gold card.... I dont collect enough points to make that worthwhile! Any...

Ai, what a huge fee increase! If my partner and I both have a credit card it is almost cheaper to buy the flights for the money we save by not having the ANZ Qantas visa card! $215 for two Gold cards.... and lets say you manage to get 30 000 points out of it per year - a good effort for most...
