JQ online seriously asks that you checkin online....... for the international DPS route On arrival at the terminal, it was obvious that there were no dedicated check in positions for travelers who had followed the online advice. Though it was clear that those who had, took a lot less time to...

AA 73 to QF 43 as a result of very good pricing in AA Y+ ex DPS With an Australian passport, exiting to explore a bit of Sydney should not be an issue, but what of the potential "gotchas" in doing that. Recently there has been a scarcity of domestic wandering Fred

That is from the QFF page on determining SC earn for Sri Lankan Airlines. Seems UL has a code share on MH flights to Perth if you start in Colombo. Is Perth in Southeast Australia? Or do I get to use the all other flights category? Difference is economy versus discount economy since the...

I have a unvaccinated friend who would like to visit his ill brother in South Africa. It appears the countries involved will let him. Apparently QF will not take him on the journey as not vaccinated. Is there a site with a table, listing all actual airline remaining restrictions? To allow more...

Now that international flights seem possible my friend in Sri Lanka would very much like me to visit. KUL has been my main gateway in the past as it offers the best $/QFF SC ratio. However it seems that all MH economy tickets in all categories currently book into Q class (yes even the flex...

CAPA's analysis The opinions expressed in the article have no relationship to the opinions which I have formed while wandering Fred

Or simply put T-80, does seating open or not? Departure is 1400 on 05 Dec. 80 hours before is 0600 on 02 Dec (or earlier than now). I have no issues (award ticket) selecting row 6. My wife (AA award ticket) can not select on online. Calling the agent claims it is only my SG status that allows...

Any news on transit restrictions in ADL when going to ASP? Qantas reservations was no help (Contact government). The NT government 1800 number is not accessible from WA. The Adelaide airport has no transit information (that I found). SO - If we transit ADL, what are the current NT restrictions...

Given annual aging and a couple of general medical conditions which are more annoying than debilitating, I was wondering if any of the insurance companies offer accident only medical in combination with travel interruption (as normally interpreted). With or without medical repatriation. Or is...

Anyone else had experience(s) with cancelling / changing a CX ticket for flights in the period 15 Mar-31 May 2020? 13 Mar I moved a 07Apr-24 Apr PEY DPS-HKG-(USA) round trip to start 13 Sep 2020 with a modest increase in price (serious sale price ticket). CX has since discontinued all the...

Just had an eBay purchase post into my QFF account. :rolleyes: It was a purchase from mid November 2019 that posted on 14 Mar 2020.... Not a huge purchase, but every little bit helps.... Anyone else with "outstanding" purchases appearing rather slowly? Just wandering Fred

Well some of us have been fortunate (?) enough to have earned sufficient "quarters" of earnings to qualify for the hospitalization part of USA Medicare (for over 65s). And I believe there are some limitations on attempting to use other insurance to cover the hospital fees part of any patient...

Having decided that a trip to Borobudur would have to replace a rather more expensive USA reunion trip, the problem of getting to Yogyakarta remained. Allowing for some inexpensive overnights in Denpasar, the local low cost carriers seemed the best options. Day 1 QG 699 DPS 16:00 SUB 16:40...

Having relatives in Alice Springs means that I use the various look up sites for fares exASP. Seems some VA fares in May (Tue/Wed) are cheaper through to DPS than stopping in DRW. Does VA become as aggravated as some more well known airlines if you just dont get on the "next flight"? Just...

I've been known to keep an eye on the fares to CMB. And recently I noted quite reasonable exPER QF fares connecting to the QF code share on UL in SIN. Sale fare pretty generally in the AU$530 range one way. (I won't use QF SIN-PER because of the arrival time at night) Today I received a 50%...

Mrs WF and I recently flew PER-DRW. The trip up allowed her AA miles to be "protected" for another 18 months and the points etc posted on AA in three days or so. On the return I changed her FF entry at check in to the QFF number as there will likely be enough trips this year to permit an easy...

Well #1 son has invited me to accompany him to southwestern India (on the cheap) After a train ride, perhaps a number of "bus" rides and a good chance of taxis, we will end up in Mysuru (Mysore). With his return flights to Perth departing from MAA, we will need to get to Chennai (and a few...
