Saturday and Sunday are better on the road to the city but it can be worse if it's heavy rain. When deciding between train and taxi you should also account for the ease of getting to your hotel from train/BTS/MRT. Walking up and down crowded payments with a suitcase in 30C+ heat isn't fun but...

Maybe I was unlucky. Never had an issue with a back pack, just open and show but the one time I went to Phetchaburi MRT with a case they made me open it. I guess it's not as pointless as that second hand search before the gate at the airport at Suvarnabhumi before any Aus flight

I use AOT limo/car. The cost to Sukhumvit is 1100 Bht. Of course it is much more that the 350-400THB inc tolls using a taxi but I prefer it because the drivers are safer (had some bad taxi experiences) and you always have a working seatbelt in the back. I am OK with paying an extra $25 for a...

Do 802.11b/g wireless cards or bluetooth have any affect on the aircraft? I bet very few people remember to disable their cards before switching on the laptop. Perhaps the 2.4Ghz frequency doesn't affect anything. As for the mobile phones. QF always said you had to wait until well inside the...

I am travelling from SYD to Guam via CNS. SYD to CNS is Qantas Domestic, CNS to GUM is Continental. Someone said I can check my bags all the way through to GUM from the domestic check-in, even though I am transferring to an international flight with another airline. Is this true? Is there a...

"Can Qantas ff miles go to Continental ?' Last time I checked I could use Continental miles to fly from North America to Australia on Qantas, but not from Australia to America (great!). As for transferring miles between programs, I don't think so. It's not easy using Continental miles in...

I assume you need to call Qantas to book FF on Air Vanuatu as it doesn't appear as a destination when booking online? Sounds like a good deal for some winter sun.

All I want to do is use my frequent flyer miles to go somewhere warm and sunny with a beach between the months of June and September. Not much to ask? Too much for Qantas. I plug in every option for Fiji, Nauru and Bali and I either get nothing or business one way and economy the other (no...

Yep - the invitation worked a treat. Pretty good showers too. As for the duty free, well, I wanted to get some good quality tequilla - something you can't get at Sydney airport. Will buy in the grocery store as per Jim's post. Thanks

As a silver FF I have a single complimentary invitation to QC. Next week I will have about a 2 hour stopover in LAX and was wondering if my QC invitation alows my access to the lounge in LAX Terminal 4? The card says 'Valid for Qantas-operated lounges only. Not valid for oneworld or partner...

Boeing officially launched its long range 777 today:- http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4266695.stm Does anyone think we'll see it on non-stop routes to London from Sydney or Melbourne? 777 is probably my favourite plane to fly in but I'm not sure I want to spend up to 20 hours non-stop in...

Does Qantas offer extra baggage allowance for students? I was browsing some posts and someone briefly mentioned this. My wife is a foreign student and says she can get 30kg from SIA when she flies home. We recently flew to Singapore with QF and both Qantas and my agent looked at me strangely...

When travelling with my partner on long haul economy I always go for the unfashionable rear of the plane. At the back, the plane is narrower so there are just two seats by the windows instead of 3 - perfect for a bit of privacy and no worries about climbing over a sleeping stranger in the aisle...
