    No more secondary gate screening on Australia bound flights from certain airports?

    Yes, but usually you pass through the scanners as you would for any other destination and there is another desk for the physical bag check, only on Australian flights.

    We didnt have secondary screening in Singapore 2 weeks ago en route to Sydney, I thought it might have been a mistake, but perhaps not.

    How to get VA PNR for SQ Codeshare

    Yep, thats what I expected. But unfortunately nothing on this occasion. It may need a call, but I wondered whether there might any other websites that can be used to open the PNR and get more information.

    How to get VA PNR for SQ Codeshare

    I've booked via SQ NTL-MEL-SIN-MAN and back. I have an SQ PNR and can select seats via the Singapore Airlines website, but can't use the same PNR to access my booking to select seats on the VA website for the VA operated segments. Does anyone know a way around this? Also, when it comes to online...

    Flight centre cancels booking without authority

    As an aside, whilst I can't say it's a rule, I have found that airlines are pretty good at handling spelling errors at check in. When I worked in the Middle East they always misspelled my name, yet airlines seemed to accept it. The only issue was trying to attach a frequent flyer number or...

    Apple Airtags

    I've got an AirTag that must have fallen out of a zipped pocket into a baggage container and travelled the world for a few weeks before sitting on the tarmac in Manila for another week. Then appeared in someones house near to Manila airport.

    Pelican & Link NTL-CBR Hand Baggage

    I've got some upcoming flights between NTL-CBR-NTL with Pelican and Link airways. Looking at the aircraft I'd imagine my normal roller board handcarry won't fit in the overhead, do they offer the option to drop the bag off at the steps and collect it from the steps on landing? Or will I have to...

    Do you get tempted to indulge in the lounge, just because it's "free"?

    100% this! The lounge is great for showers and a quiet safe space, but I plan my meals to try and avoid overindulgence by trying to keep meal times consistent. If the lounge has barista coffee, I’ll drink that, otherwise will go and seek out barista coffee elsewhere. Where airports have decent...

    After 8 weeks I've just been emailed to advise that my application is complete and should be printed with auspost soon.

    Passport Renewal / Application - Time Taken?

    Looking at DFAT twitter, there are people waiting 8-10 weeks without receiving their passport. It’s bizarre why some are processed quicker than others, even family members submitted together.

    Passport Renewal / Application - Time Taken?

    6+ weeks since I applied for my Australian Passport, I submitted an online application for my UK passport at exactly the same time and sent the old one off to the UK. The UK one has already been approved (despite purported delays in the UK also). It'll be interesting to see which one lands on...

    BudgetAir - Chargeback

    I booked some flights with BudgetAir on China Airlines and initiated a chargeback last month. BudgetAir tried to challenge it by showing proof that an E-Ticket was issued, but I have kept the pressure on and requested that Qantas Premier continue pursuing the chargeback. It's probably tough...

    Emirates refund policy update

    We booked Emirates flights via EDreams/Opodo and have gone down the credit chargeback line with Qantas Premier. I have as much sympathy for the airline as an airline has for me, which I suspect is zilch.
