G'day all, I need to get to WUH from SYD for a trip in June. I am considering booking QF129 for SYD-PVG, scheduled to arrive 18:30, and then taking a PVG-WUH domestic flight with China Southern Airlines on CZ370, departing 21:00 - that is the latest flight that day to WUH. Both flights...

Me and gf were flying off from SG on different flights (JQ and QF respectively) yesterday. I'm WP, gf has no status. At the SG lounge , we were told that we had to be in the same flight for me to guest my gf, even though she was on a oneworld flight as well. Interestingly, for OWE, the website...

After having read several posts on FT on how shockingly common/usual it is to have an involuntary downgrade of paid J to Y in QR long-haul with DOH connections (usually because a Qatari sheikh decides last minute to fly J with his large family out of DOH, since his uncle owns the airline nobody...

G'day all, I've applied and received the HSBC Qantas Platinum Visa credit card in early August. It costs $199 annual fee, and I was promised 20,000 bonus points. The bonus points were to be deposited within 8 weeks of my first purchase. The t&c for the bonus points read "Points will ordinarily...

G'day all, I'll be flying a BKK-DXB-LHR itinerary on Y (classic award) with EK377 on EK metal for BKK-DXB and QF9 on DXB-LHR. I understand I will get priority check-in and priority boarding, and use of Emirates First Lounge in DXB and Emirates Lounge in BKK, as per published WP benefits. Did...

Hi all, I'll be on QF23 this Monday morning and can guest 1 person into F lounge. I should arrive by 8am. PM me if interested. Cheers.

As a QF Plat I'm flying SYD-BKK quite regularly on J using both QF and EK. Below is a comparative review of both, based on my experiences - in case it helps anyone: Check-in/boarding: QF Qantas beats hands down, with better/quicker service both in SYD and BKK. In BKK, particularly, EK...

In business lounges in BKK or LON, I frequently find a well-stocked array of top-tier newsmagazines; e.g. The Economist, National Geographic, Forbes, Fortune, Time, Newsweek etc. Emirates even distributes many of these on its planes regularly. In the Qantas F lounge in SYD, however, one only...

G'day all, Me and gf are planning a week-long vacation in New Caledonia. I've got lots of SPG points recently so we're planning 3 days in Noumea and 5 days in Ile des Pins. Has anyone stayed in them recently? Any feedback / views you'd share, especially on recognition of SPG status benefits? Cheers!

G'day all, I'm planning for some much needed break in New Caledonia in October. SYD-NOU classic award flights are quite rare in Economy I found. So far my options are: Classic award for 50K points + $367: SYD-NOU business on QF91, NOU-SYD economy on QF92. ASA award for 92K points: Economy both...

G'day all. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good tailor in Bangkok? I'll be here for a while so a non-touristy place will do. Ideally in/around Sukhumvit, please. Cheers.

I'm a WP planning a J trip SYD-BKK. SYD-BKK leg, QF 23 is works best for the time. For the BKK-SYD leg, I'm considering between the Emirates operated QF8418 and the Qantas operated QF24. The price is exactly the same. I assume lounge access/points and SC credit is identical for both flights...

G'day all, I'll soon be hitting the 2,400 SC mark. I've looked at the available benefits, and did some calculations: * Gold card to someone - likely your significant other, partner etc. would travel with you anyway so may not get full benefit. * 3 limo service to home - conservatively assuming...

G'day all, When I travel overseas, I typically get a few colour copies of my passport and keep one in the carry-on, checked luggage as well as in a safe place back home. I also email a scanned copy to myself. I do it because I guess it might come handy if I end up losing my passport and have to...

G'day all, I've a big 2-week scuba diving boat trip coming up in Indonesia over xmas. I'm flying from Sydney to Jakarta via QF, and then a 2-leg flight via a domestic carrier to Sorong in West Papua. I am landing about 10 hours before the trip starts. I have already paid ~$5,000 for this dive...
