    QR and ET - forced into separate tickets

    I am helping to organise flights for some mine workers flying from Australia through DOH to FRA and ADD, and also flights for people going home from ADD to DOH then BNE. We did have bookings lined up that would have been booked all through QR but those flights were cancelled only yesterday and...

    Experience with arriving back in OZ and hotel quarantine

    I’m stuck in Eritrea under a domestic lockdown but the company I work for is hoping to have expats chartered out to Addis Ababa in a few weeks time. After that I’ll be able to make my way to Brisbane. It will be quite a relief since I’ve been stuck here since January. Do any AFF Members have...

    Thanks, I'll do that. Sorry to hijack the thread!

    Is Expedia the worst online travel agency to deal with?

    Rang using Skype direct to USA and cancelled. Thank you Cynicor. Expedia took forever to "ring Qantas" to confirm the credit. "Emile from Cape Town" advised that the credit is only for 3 months, which is contrary to the advice on the terms and conditions of the ticket which says 12 months. But i...

    Best Banks for Long Overseas Stay.

    Renato I've used a Citibank Plus Account all over the world and rarely been charged any fee, even for foreign ATMs (only once in PNG and that was for using anoher bank's machine). The Citibank App can be loaded onto your phone but doesn't require you to be online to work. I've found it to be a...

    This is the line from the credit card statement QANTAS AIR 75978704290 LOS ANGELES US USD 404.50 It doesn't say Expedia or Kayak, but Qantas!

    Is Expedia the worst online travel agency to deal with?

    I'd have to wholeheartedly agree with the OP. Expedia is the worst online travel agency based on my recent experience from Wednesday 2 days ago. I booked a multi part QF flight through Kayak for my Son, which took me to Expedia USA for the booking. But then the plans changed. I thought i could...

    Qantas voucher to book a Jetstar flight

    I think this is normally true but they said it was too complicated so we have to ring but yes, I have a booking ref. Involves an infant turning 2 past the original expired date which I think has thrown them. Refund would have been cheaper for Qantas given the work this has involved :)

    Qantas voucher to book a Jetstar flight

    Thanks, that's probably the best (only) option unless someone's done it before. It's a credit voucher and they said I had to ring to book. Trying to do some pre-planning as the voucher is for one person but the trip is for 5 others and need to book the rest straight away! Cheers Cambodia7

    Qantas voucher to book a Jetstar flight

    Hi All Does anyone know if you can use a Qantas voucher to book a Jetstar flight, Qantas doesn't go to the destination in question (CNS to DPS) but Jetstar does. Sorry for asking here as I can't ring Qantas from where I am in the world and they have no international (+61) number that I could...

    Qantas Flight Change Notification

    These all sound like good ideas. I wonder if I explained that I was going to MOW they would actually let me change the route to HKG? Perhaps that's pushing it :) I'm going to try anyhow, like JohnK says!

    Qantas Flight Change Notification

    Hi All I had a flight booked from BNE to SIN QF51 leaving at 10:00 using credit from an earlier cancellation, now over a year ago. The flight isn't for 6 months. I was using the credit as part of a larger trip to Moscow, which Qantas doesn't fly to. Qantas just sent through a flight change...

    Vietnam Visa on Arrival experiences

    +1 for myvietnamvisa I used them in 2012 and had no trouble. They also send you a pdf of the form you need at the airport. At HCMC it took no more than 10 minutes to get through. Get $25 USD cash ready as they won't give change.

    Qantas Credit Voucher - Will This Work?

    Hi Guys My wife has a QANTAS credit voucher for $880 as a result of some booking confusion we had last year (our fault). It was for a Domestic CNS-DRW flight. the expiry date for the voucher is in October 2014. As we work as expats in a very remote location we are very limited in when we can...

    MyUs.com - Amex promotion - Free Premium membership

    Try this for a comparison: Look at the Dell Alienware site in the USA and then compare it to the same computer on the Australian one. Pretty eye opening. The computer the young fella wanted was 18" top of the line laptop. Sold for ~ AUD $3700 but we bought it for US$2300. Add in the Customs...

    MyUs.com - Amex promotion - Free Premium membership

    I just wanted to tell people about my recent experience with MyUS. I bought 2 computers (much cheaper in the USA) to be sent to Cairns. It took more than a month to be delivered and was held up in Customs in Australia for 5 days before I asked questions and ended up paying the duty directly to...

    Travel Insurance Direct Claim issues

    Re: Travel Insurance Direct Discount Offer TID rejected my claim for my Son's medical expenses overseas (he had some simple IV antibiotic treatment) pointing to a clause saying "notifications in the mass media about epidemics etc" and saying that he should have been immunised. Well the web...
