    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Will this have a flow-on effect for the QF117 scheduled for Sunday, 15 April 2018? It is showing as cancelled at the moment, and the telephone queue is over an hour long.

    Trials and tribulations of travelling together but on 2 PNRs - advice requested

    I had two work trips recently, my wife and son came up with me ADL-MEL-HKG with them on a personal ticket. While there, they decided to spend a few weeks in China with relatives so they delayed their return trip. I flew back HKG-MEL-ADL. My second trip was ADL-BNE-HKG, HKG-MEL-ADL - with the...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Re: General Qantas Delays/Cancellations/etc. Discussion Post-arrival update: QF30D was delayed by an hour. We were due to depart at 1800h, we took off at about 1910h... more time in the lounge! :) We then arrived late into MEL, missed our connecting flight to ADL, and were bumped to the next...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Re: General Qantas Delays/Cancellations/etc. Discussion Yup, it was all fairly poor. I think the buses J PAX went to the right building, wrong entrance :) Level 4 was the lobby for Pacific Place, Level 6 is Shangri-La and the Marriot... I think the night showed the lack of decent comms from...

    Tracking QF2 on flightaware / flightradar

    My sister is flying on QF2 / LHR-DXB-SYD at the moment and I'm interested in tracking the flight. I can't seem to track it on flightaware or flightrader - the former thinks it's just a DXB-SYD flight, and the latter doesn't give me the live view. What's the best way to track this flight?

    Best use of points xADL

    Yeah, that's it. We've got a CBA Diamond MC/AMEX, it's not bad, but if it makes more sense to earn KF / AM points, I'm happy to entertain that idea... One of the CSRs on a recent flight was talking about how good QF is finding using SYD as a hub from a load % perspective. Yeah, that's great...

    Boracay with a baby

    Shangri-La was really good. We'd never stayed in a resort like that before, it was all so convenient. Neoguri meant that the first few days were a bit wet and windy, but by the end of the week we were able to enjoy the pools. At times it wasn't the easiest place to get around for our pram - it...

    Malaysian Airlines MH17 Crashes in Ukraine

    Not necessarily DFAT. Australian Customs Service - Delivering today and building our capabilities for the future You might imagine other countries have similar programs, and would benefit from sharing data.

    Boracay with a baby

    I didn't appreciate this comment at the time, I get it entirely now. Kimchi for breakfast every morning or what!

    Boracay with a baby

    This went off without a hitch - Shangri-La transfers were perfect, typhoon Neoguri kept its distance, and our friends had the beach wedding they wanted. The only issues were the L3s! Our son hated the vans. We went ADL-xSYD-MNL, MNL-MPH vv. I was a bit unhappy QF took our pram MNL-SYD, we...

    Best use of points xADL

    hmm... we're planning to fly ADL-...-ICN in the next month and a bit, I might look at that. the straight up CX fares don't seem that bad, although this time I'll make sure to book a decent, SC earning class.

    Best use of points xADL

    I can't think of a good use for the points I'm earning at the moment. CX and SQ both have better route options internationally - what should I be doing with the points? I've got 60k at the moment, increasing at about 4-5k pm.

    HKG new lounge open

    We had eight hours to spend in HKIA on the weekend and I didn't even know there was a QF lounge. Where is it? (We did hop between various CX lounges, the bridge seemed to be the nicest and quietest?)

    Boracay with a baby

    We flew ADL-xHKG-PEK, PEK-XIY vv in the last couple of weeks, baby survived admirably. All the crew seemed to love him and he occasionally let us sleep. Fingers crossed he's as well behaved in a few months.

    MH 777 missing - MH370 media statement

    I did ask this a few days ago! Are the 20 odd electronic warfare specialists part of the prize? Lots of talk about passport and border security, how much is there surrounding handling passenger manifests?

    MH 777 missing - MH370 media statement

    I asked this on Twitter earlier today but didn't get a response: what's the max attack angle & ceiling of a 777-200er, and is there a jet stream near where MH730 was?

    Platinum Amex changes.

    Got upgraded from Plat to Diamond this week, same fee as Plat. Limit is < $15k. Finally worthwhile QFF point earning potential... but hardly worth it this year.
