Does anyone in our diverse community utilise a private car transfer service when they arrive at AKL? Public transport is hit and miss; I avoid cabs wherever possible, and the Ubers are probably the worst I have experienced globally. A private commercial service with a decent car and driver...

I have recently been through HKG on a few trips lately, and things are starting to normalise towards HKG2.0. Outbound has been on QF128, and I can say the ground service from QF is the best I have experienced in a while. The ground staff are very attentive; they know and acknowledge their...

As reported by the BBC, The Dutch government will legislate to reduce flights from Schipol Airport by 60,000 per annum to 440,000, citing climate action and noise pollution. Regardless of the outcome of the reported commercial legal challenge by the affected airlines, does this move to...

You mean 2+3+2 ? If so, they are not the best, a bit cramped. Still, I would have been grateful despite your issues (unknown at the time). It's a QF 737 and they don't have a lie flat. I would have routed DPS-SIN-MEL on J if you wanted comfort. The CSM was probably having a bad day. I had...

I sometimes travel between Melbourne and Canberra, and I prefer to drive if I need to clear a busy head. The problem is that the straight drive can be slightly too long, and I occasionally stop in Albury for the night. I receive pleasure from reading trip reports and feel 'duty-bound' to share...

I’ve heard some press reports that as part of a data leak VA have suspended some Velocity accounts. I am sure there will be further confirmation and a response to this shortly.

I was reading an ABC article by Catherine Taylor this morning headlined “Can Qantas bounce back from the ‘perfect storm’”…..“ which pointedly asks “Have Australians fallen out of love with the QANTAS brand“? The article related instances by ‘Tom’ (a senior Qantas pilot) where basic routine...

As reported late this afternoon there was a double ejection from a Hornet at Amberley (on takeoff) with the pilots and aircraft appearing to be safe. This is always engineering and skills displayed at a cutting edge. I will try to find some footage.

So it doesn't matter if I was on an AY ticket and travelling a CX flight from HKG to SIN to transfer to AY flight I still pursue CX for their delay to get me to AY flight from SIN on time? One PNR.

Very good advice from SIA. You should always be prepared to exit a burning aircraft so shoes on is better than shoes off although I suspect their motive is reduced cabin obstruction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25brQSPMORg

Hi, any recent experience on the best hotel that services Terminal 3 or the airport in general. We have an overnight layover and it doesn't really justify heading back into town for. Suggestions appreciated.

Came through the other day. No air bridge, hoardes of people waiting for late flights blocking the exit, tasteless architecture and such a hike to the front gate. is this the worst example of modern terminals ??? Are there any worse ones?

A Qatar Airways Boeing 787-800, registration A7-BCT performing flight QR-180 from Oslo (Norway) to Doha (Qatar) with 254 people on board, was enroute at FL350 about 160nm northwest of Bucharest (Romania) when the crew needed to shut an engine (GEnx) down, the crew declined any left turns and...

Heads up guys arrived Hakuba today and the only snow is at the top of the mountains and then it's dicey. Looking at other places Canada continues to excite

Hi flying in next Sunday with a pair of skis. Staying overnight in Naritathen back there the next morning for a bus trip. Question. Could I fail to collect skis on Sunday and pick up Monday morning when we leave from teminal 3 at luggage oversize ? Thinking is this will save a lot of drama

hi I've got a quick trip to Seoul coming up on KE and returning in SQ. all J I've joined up to Skypass. I have credited my points to that account. I was ex PPS for a few years but that expired and I am 'bronze' I had put my Velocity number in the SQ booking. Will that get me SC and points ...

Obviously still chatting to the Captain at crucial stages of flight operations. I think I will avoid this airline. What are the other standards set in South America ? https://youtu.be/EbRYgC88Hsk

I will take it to the floor with you good folk. Anyone used a TA for South American tours and we're happy with service and value? Transfers. Important to use pre arranged pickups in say SCL and RIO? What constitutes good value from port to town? Thnxs

We are looking at July/Aug trip to South America. Need to be in RIO early August. Hoping to fly on QF to SCL, and from there down to RIO. Away all up around 17 days, so apart from a week in RIO we will be free. Has anyone done this to maximise SC's? Any advantages in booking all they way MEL to...
