I took advantage of their recent sale and booked PER-PEN via Singapore. return All OK getting there, but on the return, they booked me on QF78 from Singapore to Per. As far as I can tell, QF78 has not operated for at least a year. Predictably, the next day, I got an email advising that QF78 had...

After a couple of weeks in Japan (albeit mostly on a cruise ship that didn't really do Japanese food), our best Japanese food was on JAL Business class from Tokyo to Singapore. In addition to great seats (flat bed), excellent service and wines, the food and it's presentation was just at another...

Has anyone recently checked in on JL712 from Singapore to Narita ? All the info I have seen says the early checkin operates "From 3 hrs to 12 hrs before departure, available from 0600 hrs". If the counter opens at 6 for an 8:15 flight that's just over 2 hours which doesn't seem right.

I will be arriving at Changi from Perth on Scoot at 1:30am, departing on JL at 8:10 the same day in Business. I know I'll have to retrieve my luggage and get to T1. My plan then is to go to the Premier Check In Lounge in T1, check in my luggage then rest in the lounge until boarding time. Is...

Last week, there was a notice on the QFF site about maintenance for about 3 days. Since then I have had a regular bank transfer and an Epiqure purchase with bonus points go missing. These usually post like clockwork but are now over a week late. Has anyone experienced similar problems and what...

I've read the PDS and will spend the required $500 on airfares. Anyone used this or have any good or bad reviews, experiences or opinions ?

I just flew Scoot on the Dreamliner Perth-Singapore return. First time on Scoot and first time on the Dreamliner so here’s an abridged TR, more of a summary and a few tips really. Check in at Perth. What a dog’s breakfast, we had Carry on only but still had to queue for over an hour (Why ?) to...

In the past few years, I have garnered a huge amount of points from card sign ups and reaped some pretty good award flights too. Now I am recently retired so my income is from my super fund. Has anyone successful applied for a card in similar circumstances ? If so, how do you frame the application ?

My wife and I recently fly from Venice to Perth via Dubai, EK all the way on QFF points. The first leg was in Y and the second in F, that’s just the way the availability went. Both were firsts for me, first on an A380 and first in first. The first leg was quite painful, no fault of the crew or...

This was my first experience with Cathay and after reading reviews of their J class, I was looking forward to the flights. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations for me. The seating layout in J, lauded by many as great, just didn’t work for me. Traveling as a couple, the other...

Hi All, flying in a couple of weeks CX170 from Perth to HK then on to LHR on CX257. CX170 departs at 23:55, wondering what meals will be served ? Assume a late dinner then lights out and a breakfast on the first leg. Second leg leaves HK at 9:10 so maybe lunch then dinner ? Or is it Brunch and...

Hi All. I've received a flight refund to my Amex card and I want to get the cash. I assume I can go to an ATM and get slugged $5. Can I transfer it to a bank account or even load my Qantas Cash card with it ?

Hi points hunters, once your points have been harvested and in whatever hiatus you have before ditching the card, keep checking online. I have just had my ANZ points grabber hit up for $3200 in Qantas hotels ! Had I not been randomly checking activity (which I expected was none), I wouldn't have...

Coming up in August is a big tick on the bucket list, EK first from Dubai to Perth. Of course there is the First lounge in Dubai, the mini bar, PJ's, amenities and shower on board and the limo when we get to Perth. Is there anything I've missed ? Unlikely I'll be doing it again.

I have been an active CC points hunter for the last couple of years, churning through some 20+ cards and harvesting a small fortune in points, however many of those have required rather heavy threats to the banks concerned to actually get the points. Currently in dispute with the Commonwealth...

Hi All I have a booking on Emirates, booked through QF from Venice to Dubai in Y then Dubai to Perth in F, all on the same PNR. Couple of questions: 1. Do I get any priority check in / security in Venice ? 2. Do I get lounge access ? and if so 3. What Emirates/One world lounge is there ...

Hi All, my planned travels next year include flights on Czech Air and Easyjet, both with different baggage allowances. Czech is 15kg checked and 8kg carry on. Easyjet is 20kg checked and no weight but 50x40x20 size limit. So what I want to get is an appropriately sized carry on bag that weighs...

Anyone having second thoughts about traveling to Europe in the next 6 months ? Some of the reports about border crossings sound a bit daunting. I have travel booked in Slovenia, Hungary and Czech Republic and am having some doubts.
