    Transiting QF <---> EY in Jakarta CGK

    Yeah me! I used it on the return as well. It was a marathon trip home (AMM-IST-AUH-CGK-SYD-BNE) so wanted a nice soft bed for a few hours.

    AFF Review: Qantas A330 Business Class (MEL-CGK inaugural flight)

    This may not be the right thread, however, anyone getting cheap fares ex CGK: I had a 23 hour stopover in Jakarta and decided to book Anara Hotel at CGK. I was coming out of a very busy tiring week at work and just wanted sleep. Quick walk (about 5 mins) from terminal. Very clean, cool and...

    AFF Review: Qantas A330 Business Class (MEL-CGK inaugural flight)

    Couldn’t agree more. Flew SYD-CGK a couple of weeks ago on QF41. The seats were a lot more comfortable for sleeping than Etihad CGK to AUH. The service was outstanding and I was very well looked after for the entire trip (as a WP). On Etihad I was fed and watered, then never saw another FA...

    Dipping my toe back in the Nile

    Great trip report. Thank you. What a shame you didn’t really get to experience Wadi Rum. We stayed in a camp overnight, quite a long way in. Spent the next day exploring and climbing massive dunes and rocks and taking some great video and photos. It is a magnificent place. So...

    Dipping my toe back in the Nile

    If you are going to Jordan, you absolutely must go to Wadi Rum. An experience not to be missed. We hired a car in Amman and drove to Petra, Wadi Rum & Aqaba.

    Dipping my toe back in the Nile

    My cousin arranged something, and we were able to go through the entrance, foyer and shops last week. We were the only guests. It’s going to be absolutely spectacular! Also: We stayed at that Movenpick in Aswan on Elephantine Island (the one lit up in your photos). It was really...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Had this yesterday on QF41. Possibly the worst food I’ve ever tasted. Soggy watery potato, with no seasoning. Rubbery tasteless mushrooms ….. and the Fennell was just so mismatched. Luckily I’d had already awesome food in the FLounge about 4 hours prior.

    I’m so happy you are finally getting to Rwanda. The gorillas were a fantastic experience for me (even in a wheelchair & stretcher) 😂 I head off to Turkey next week to meet my cousins. Turkey, Egypt and Jordan. It’s been a long wait for this trip. Then I’m off to Norfolk Island with Mr...

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    You can actually force DSC through, by ringing and getting someone to override the original PNR date. As long as you registered, booked and flew during the right dates. Just be polite and firm. I seem to recall @nlagalle also had success with this a few years ago. You can also use a...
