    Good J prices: EY MNL-Europe rtn

    okay, my time to pose a question if I may. I booked EY when they were on special ex Germany, routing FRA-AUH-KUL and back for less than 1,800 Euro at the time. Outbound in late May, arriving KUL at 8.05, inbound mid-September, departing KUL at 9.45. This makes for two trips to Europe and to...

    UpgradeMe pricing and success

    OOL to ADL, 12:20pm departure Minimum $?, bid $100 accepted T-12. I cannot remember the minimum bid, it might well have been the $100 I ultimately bid. Up until T-24, there were four seats available for selection, around that time two seats were taken. Cabin ended up fully occupied. Pretty...

    Travel Agent recommendation

    Hi drron/ RooFlyer, I also am after recommendations for a good travel agent, for two trips I wish to book. I tried messaging @madrooster but so far, without a response and whilst I would like to use Alan, I feel it makes sense to approach other qualified agents that can book 'creative' routings...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Thank you for everybody who responded to this, the feedback/ input has been greatly appreciated. Update, and then we can go back to the choice of Champagne :). My better half actually suggested we call SQ and ask whether they can rebook the Economy tickets to a day that has J Saver...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Question for the brains trust, hoping this is the best place for this: we are a family of four and my wife is flying to Europe on points in September '23, to catch up with her family, before I join with the family (kids are 7 and 5 then) a few days later. The plan was this: wife to fly J on...

    Holidays and Airport 'Chaos' since COVID

    We departed SYD International last Saturday, July 2, first day of (public and, for us, Catholic) school holidays, though with a staff development day on Jul 1 and the teacher strike the day before, Wednesday was the last day of school. I digress. JQ37 to Denpasar/ Bali, we arrived at T1 around...

    Transferring in Singapore if booked on 2 different tickets.

    I guess I have had success passing through SIN. Separate tickets (SQ Y SYD-SIN, QR J to DOH, then JNB). QR moved their departure time forward by thirty minutes so I ended up with 2hr 20mins between scheduled arrival (12.20am) and departure (2.40am). Checking in at Sydney airport on May 11, I...

    Digital Passenger Declaration to Replace Incoming Passenger Card

    I have done the DPD three times now and it took me more than three minutes each time. But certainly less than ten and I don't think it was that stressful/ complicated, to be honest. That does not mean it makes sense to start from scratch every time, entering vax details/ passport etc., surely...

    Slow posting of Status Credits from Partners

    Another data point: flew SIN-DOH-JNB on QR in J last month, actually still considering whether I should do a trip report, I took plenty of photos. The flights back (May 20) credited whilst I was still on the plane so no issues there, I lodged a missing points claim for the flights to South...

    Do Virgin Golds get Etihad lounge access? Extra bag piece? Better seats?

    Approved within the one business day, very useful and great timing for my Y flight on SQ the next day. Tomorrow's J flights JNB-DOH-SIN will lock in lifetime gold on QF and I didn't want to start from scratch with VA.

    Do Virgin Golds get Etihad lounge access? Extra bag piece? Better seats?

    I recently applied for a status match with Virgin and was also told it would take three to five business days for a response. They wanted a screenshot/ photo of my Qantas card and when asking to expedite things, the call centre told me to call again and advise the reference number my email had...

    The view from my "office"

    Game drive in the Greater Kruger, with our guide Happy - no luck seeing predators but plenty of wildlife nonetheless. Loved seeing the flat necked chameleon and those colours at sunset...

    Meet me in the SQ Lounge thread

    Currently sitting in Sydney's SilverKris lounge, as a newly minted Velocity Gold (status matched yesterday, against my QF Gold) I think I can guest someone. Awaiting the slightly delayed departure of SQ242.

    Where to get a RAT?

    Wow, that is expensive, both here in Australia and in Germany: I just spent four months in Germany and whilst prices have shot up now, I picked up boxes of 5 tests at 3.29 Euro in late August. My sister-in-law has been testing herself nearly daily, at those prices I guess it is feasible to do...

    Dec 21/Jan 22 list of airlines with Y inventory open for return to Australia

    I'm already subscribing to this thread and when I see something released from Europe, I'll post here immediately. Looking for a one way from FRA or DUS though AMS and BRU would also work. Late December/ early January, family is here (Germany) so ideally after Christmas. If someone sees...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    I have been to Italy two weeks ago and I have been asked for my vaccination certificate (Pfizer in Australia, in July '21) a few times. Unless I got it wrong during the week I spent there, there is no thing such as an actual pass you get, it refers to the vaccination certificate. Having said...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    I am in the same boat, we left Australia - on a travel exemption for three months or longer - in August and we only booked one way flights. Life is perfectly normal in Europe, we spent time in Austria, Italy and the Netherlands, right now we are in Portugal, before returning to Germany (we are...
