    Stopover in Bangalore

    Was tipping not expected at the Taj? I did see an older reference to a 525inr cash charge for the hotel car transport. Also saw you can't take any rupee out of the country?

    Stopover in Bangalore

    Getting closer for us. Anyone walked back to Terminal 2 at an early morning hour. We can't get the hotel to respond to our question on booking hotel car transport (both ways). And prefer to avoid taxi (no rupee).

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    For a flight change - where two pax, return domestic Y ticket, on one PNR. Is it possibile for a late flight change for one pax only on one sector. Ticket would have to be split (two PNRs)? Too risky for offshore agents with reticketing and short timeframe? May be safer to forfeit one fare and...

    We had to ring QF to confirm 10 min change to flight departure (BA). Don't have a option to accept in MMB. Hope they don't send it in to the ticketing queue (haven't checked).

    Like BA, I don't think so. My only problem has been QR disrupting flights.

    Have heard there should be an 080 transit hotel at BLR T2, which is thought to open by year end. But can't find anything official to verify. Otherwise for us, the Taj. SmartTraveller lists swine flu as a risk. Should we get vacinated for 2x12hrs at BLR?

    What are the options for having AFF or an Agent find July 2024 J awards in and out of EU (with fee for service)? Not for me, someone else. edit: have found a similar thread for this question.

    Stopover in Bangalore

    I'm doing the BLR transit next year (QF-BA). Have been advised there will be an 080 hotel in T2, should be open by year end. It doesn't seem possible to use the T1 airside 080 hotel. The Taj looks close but landside could raise problems.

    Pulled together our next itinerary, which then failed with database errors on completion online. Rang the call centre where the result was worse. But managed to have success online next day after reorganising the flights/sectors. Was ticketed within an hour or two (QF, BA, IB). For those...

    Maybe you could list your flights? Could be a charges calculation problem? You may need to ring. You could try each sector singly as a test to see if one is failing, just don't go to completion.

    Going [through] MAD as a QF Gold.

    Our experience with MAD was that it doesn't move large groups of pax well (April). Like 300 pax converging on two escalators down to the baggage carousels/exit.

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes.

    All I'm getting is a list of generic error codes (missing name, QFF number, etc), both in Edge & Firefox browsers and app. Did get some results yesterday but not now. (multi city search).

    Got a text from Qantas regarding travel requirements for a flight to Norfolk Island next week. NI is not in my itinerary nor in MMB. Hope it's not indicative of a QF problem.

    Wonder if they do it for the whole cabin or is it just a status based thing.

    Latest for us, Qantas removing our advanced seat reservations on QF8. ExpertFlyer shows the cabin as fully booked with a few seats still blocked out. Seat reservation now is limited to selecting window or aisle preference only. Maybe the aircraft (789) is being changed? At least the flight...
