A first attempt at a short trip report After the BA strikes were announced and we saw that their flights to Dubrovnik would not be operating we changed our return flights to Austrian Airlines one of the few alternatives on the London Dubrovnik route. Boarding at LHR seemed very disorganised...

I know the redevelopment of Cairns domestic airport is not complete yet but after passing through it again today it seems that it is not particularly well designed. There is a long walk from the rental car return to check in and then another long hike back to the departure area. Tried the...

My partner lives in Asia, I believe the QFF rules used to state that for your partner to receive the partner gold card they needed to live at the same address, does anyone know if this rule still applies? I had lots of time to kill in the lounge today and reading through the terms and...

After reading a post here that CX availablility now showed on QF award searches I managed to get my first international flights ever on points in ten years flying QF (thank you for the post Flashware) My flights out are on CX back on QF, can I put a seat request in for the QF flight even though...

An interesting interview with Alan Joyce. Business Spectator - KGB INTERROGATION: Alan Joyce

I am sure someone here will have the answer to my question. My flight out of Brisbane was delayed and QF didn't hold the flight to LAX I was connecting to. That was ok they rebooked me on a later a flight and altered the AA flight I was conecting to. Further delays meant I missed that AA...

I flew BNE to LAX this week and the new Amenity Kit or should I say bits and pieces were handed out. I preferred the old kit where everything was together in one zipped bag. Now you are handed individulal items an eye mask,socks,toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream and blade as well as a...

I recently used OLCI and printed boarding passes out for return same day flights from Brisbane to Sydney. When I arrived at Brisbane airport I went to drop my bag off and was told that I would have to hand over the return boarding pass as I wasn't allowed to print a boarding pass for the return...

I need to travel from Las Vegas to San Francisco in January, Southwest seems to offer the most flights between the two cities and low fares. Has anybody flown with them? How do they compare to Jetstar? Is there an airline that I could earn QF FF points on that offer non stop flights, it seems AA...

I am waitlisted on BA flight. I am booked in D class and no seats are currently available although there are 9 seats available in J class. I wonder if anybody here knows how likely it would be that another seat in that class would be released. How far ahead would you expect this to happen, the...

What do you do if the person next to you continues to use an electronic device during take off or landing? Do you sit silently and hope it doesn't interfere with aircraft systems, ask them would they mind turning it off or call a FA? Asking them to turn it off if isn't so bad if you are coming...

From New York Times April 25, 2006 One Day, That Economy Ticket May Buy You a Place to Stand By CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT The airlines have come up with a new answer to an old question: How many passengers can be squeezed into economy class? A lot more, it turns out, especially if an idea...

I flew from Heathrow terminal 4 to europe last week in J class, was told by BA's queue police I had to wait in the regular queue , they did have a prioriy queue but it was used by very few, is it only available to BA executive club members or was I told the wrong thing? Have checked in J with...

I am hoping someone can tell me if you can travel on qantas codeshare flights operated by another airline (Asiana) on a one world rtw ticket I'm sure someone here will know.

I have status and have two J class RTW trips to take in the next couple of months, I was thinking of using star alliance to get some status with them. What program in that alliance would be best to join to gain status quickly?

NM your last post seems a good compromise for all members, if you have a partner that doesn't travel often even partnered members may prefer the upgrades

Will make partner gold very shortly, but what's the incentive in that if you don't have a partner. :( The amount of travel required to reach it (unless you do long haul first class) would mean that if you did have a partner at the beginning of the exercise they probably would have left by the...

Perhaps Qantas will get more competition on SYD - LAX just not fro SQ This article from USA Today Fly from California to Australia ... on Air Canada? Air Canada announced Wednesday that it will apply to begin daily non-stop flights between Los Angeles and Sydney. If successful in its...

Interesting article on how airlines in the US are cutting boarding times. Will it catch on here? Amazing that United claims savings of $1million a year by saving 5 minutes boarding time per flight. "You may soon be able to forget the back-to-front boarding process that used to be a staple...
