Hi, in June I'm flying with QR in J to Europe, with a 2:50 transit time in DOH. Flights are BNE-DOH, then DOH-BCN. I'm QF Platinum and I booked them as award flights using AA points. Can anyone tell me which lounges I "should" have access to and which ones are recommended? I looked on the...

Hi Folks, Just after any recommendations for a LAX airport hotel. My sister and I are arriving into LAX around 1.00pm on a Monday, with a flight to MIA the next morning. We're looking for something close to the airport, clean and comfortable, some decent dining options and easy to get to and...

Hi, Next July I have a J rewards flight home from Europe via Taipei, unfortunately the only option I could find requires me to transfer from Songshan Airport to Taoyuan Airport. I land at 17:00 and have seven hours for the transit, so plenty of time, but I'm wondering if anyone has any advice...

Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience going through the new Istanbul airport. I've been reading some online reviews and they are not very positive to say the least. My sister and I will be finishing a cruise in Istanbul in June 2024, then flying out from the new airport on...

Hi All, Given the deserved shellacking Jetstar have been getting for some time now, I thought it only fair to report a pretty positive experience I had this month. But first the negative part. Coming back from a trip to Bali, my DPS-MEL flight was due to leave at 12:45. Long story short, there...

In July I'll be arriving into JFK, flying in J with JAL from Tokyo. I've never entered the US at JFK, just wondering if anyone has any intel on what to expect or any tips to make the experience better. Plane is due to land at 18:30 on a Wednesday. Thanks

Hi, My sister and I will be spending a couple of days in New Delhi next February after a cruise. One day we will go to Agra, for the other we'd like to do a private tour covering the main tourist sites in Delhi. We'd prefer something already organised where we get transported around with a...

Hi Brains Trust, In July my sister is landing in Brisbane from an overnight flight from Doha. She will overnight at one of the airport hotels before heading down to the Gold Coast the next morning on the train from the airport. I've looked at the three closest options (Ibis, Pullman, Novotel)...

Hi Folks, Next month I'm doing my first overseas travel since 2019, a quick trip to Bali on QF, partly to familiarise myself with the current Covid procedures. I'll be going OOL to MEL, then 3 hours in transit before the flight to DPS. My question is at what point will Qantas do the Covid...

Hi, Very excited to see flight schedules starting up again. Wondering if anyone has heard any information about Qantas restarting their SYD-JFK route via LAX? I'm looking to do that one next year, at the moment when I search (August/September) the only options are QF to either LAX or DFW then...

Hi, I'm (very) cautiously hoping that international travel will start again next year. But there is one key thing I haven't seen mentioned in the talk about vaccination rates, international borders, quarantine options etc. That is will there be travel insurance available that covers...

Two of us have just booked flights to Europe for next July and will have a 7 hour transit stop in HKG. Looking for ideas on how best to use the time. We land at 17:20 and depart at 00:25. it's a day flight from Melbourne so we won't be needing to sleep. We're flying in on Qantas in J and out on...

Hi All, Next month I'm coming back from Europe and have an overnight stop at KUL (Sama Sama hotel). Just wondering what the lounge options are like for the morning departure. I leave at 0920 on Malaysian in J and am currently QF Gold. There seem to be multiple lounges at KUL, keen for any...

Hi Brains Trust, Next February I'll be flying MEX-LAX with AA, due to land at 19:00, then connecting to QF at 23:00 for the A380 LAX-MEL. I'm wondering what the process is with making the connection. The AA flight lands at TBIT so no change of terminal, but not sure what the situation will...

Hi, Next month I'm flying into LHR from MEL in J on the Dreamliner via Perth. I land at Terminal 3 just after 05:00, then have a BA flight to BCN also from Terminal 3 leaving at 09:30, but on a separate booking. Can anyone tell me how I do the transit? Never done one like this at LHR. I'm QF...

Hi, Does anyone know if there are problems with AA not showing award flights on QF? Today I was searching the QF website and found numerous award flights in J next February flying MEL-LAX and return on QF flights. Then I jumped onto AA and searched the same dates and got no J flights at all...

I'm booked on QF10 going LHR-PER-MEL in September 2018, in J. I'll be flying into LHR from HAM the night before on BA and am wondering if there is any benefit in ringing Qantas to see if I can book the BA flight on the same ticket and with a QF code. Am trying to maximise my SC earn. Similarly...

Hi, I've done a couple of paid flights in J to the US when QF has one of their sales and I've noticed they often restrict the sale fares to departures on Monday-Thursday. Does anyone know if they often have the same restriction on sale fares to Europe? Thanks

Being a Bear of Little Brain, I'm struggling to understand why there are weight restrictions on carry on items. I get that space is the major issue, so the size restrictions make sense as there is only so much space per passenger. But given that if a carry on item is too heavy it gets checked...

Hi, Next June I'll be flying LHR-MAD and I'm gathering information about how arrivals work there. Yet to book the flight but will probably be on a BA flight number. Being a non-Schengen flight I understand I'll land in T4S, the satellite terminal, which means clear Immigration then jump on the...
