I have finally bitten the bullet and decided to travel to the UK after 5 long years of pandemics and fear of flying long distances with DVT. I managed to get a reasonably cheap business class fare from Kuala Lumpur to Geneva and back on Etihad. The trade off is of course long layovers in Abu...

I am sure this question has been asked before, but rather than try and wade through this site to find anything, I will be cheeky and ask again. Is there any easy way to find availability of reward flights on the QF site? It just drives me demented. Once upon a time you could see a month at a...

I am on a bit of a mission to try and reconstruct a history of my travel over the last 55 years. Putting together a spreadsheet based on saved tickets, passport stamps, diary entries (though I never been good with keeping a diary!), and memory. I went on a trip to the UK in December 1972...

Mods - Not sure where to post this, please move if not appropriate here. Back in April 2022, I suffered a PE and DVT in my right leg. It was stabilised very quickly and I have been ok ever since. Now on blood thinners (Xarelto) to manage the condition. In July I flew to Norfolk Island - with...

I am thinking about the possibility of going to Tel Aviv in October for a Family History conference. Whether I could go depends a lot on cost and the degree of difficulty in getting to Israel. My initial thinking is that it will be costly as I doubt Israel is an in-demand destination, and I...

I can't see this mentioned anywhere, so I will risk starting a new thread! Got an email last Thursday (Jan 17th) outlining their latest promotion to get you to transfer Flybuys across. TRANSFER YOUR FLYBUYS POINTS TO VELOCITY TO WIN! Everyone's a winner thanks to flybuys and Velocity...

Not sure where to ask this, so if I am out of order, please delete or move. Have the Qantas Assure app on my phone and linked to Google Fit so I am counting my steps every day and earning points. Going overseas on a trip for 5½ weeks in August, but I will have data turned off on my phone. I...

I have a few questions, that some of the members may be able to answer. Background: Back in July, I managed to get a Business Class reward ticket to Los Angles and back. However, it departs Sydney, and then returns to Sydney via Brisbane. I couldn't get flights out of Melbourne, but I have...

Have budget constraints but this is what I would like to do: Melbourne to Asia (Singapore, KL, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Jakarta??) LCC. I can manage LCC economy for an 8 hour flight. Would like to take a couple of days break in KL, Sg or HK if I went there. Business Class (Preferably) but Premium...

I probably already know the answer to this, but I doubt I could find the answer trawling the net. Am sure someone here can tell me. I have succeeded in getting a 3 month tourist visa for my partner to visit Oz from Egypt. All being well he hopes to fly next weekend. Booking at this late...

Less Legroom, No Rafts: Qantas Airways Tries Extreme Diet - Bloomberg More bad news - especially for those of us confined to cattle class! For me it is time to bail out, but guess I will be stuck with a couple of toasters, seeing as the consensus of opinion here on AFF seems to be that award...

There is a massive amount of stuff to read in the main thread on this topic, and that's just a bit beyond me right now. So, my sincere apologies for starting a new thread, and also if this question has been asked and commented on previously. However, I also decided to start a new thread to...

Did a quick search but cannot see if this has been posted before. Recent news articles are reporting that Kuwait and other Gulf States, including UAE (ie Dubai) are planning to implement some sort of test to reject gay visitors. We have had discussions here before with members indicating they...

I have just used the last of my AAdvantage points to book a flight home from the UK - LHR-Mel on QF10 in May. Booked the flight via the AA call centre in Brisbane - who I must say were very helpful and courteous in finding a flight etc. Is there a way I can go in and choose a seat now...
