    Over the past couple of years, I've moved to having all my tech gadgets use USB-C charging, which has made life much easier in terms of needing to carry power packs and power adapters around. But Now I think I've found my ideal travel charger system - at least under current requirements...

    Does anyone else on AFF ever have to carry conference/exhibition banners? and what's their go-to method? Most of my international travel is to attend conferences/events, often where I'm part of the team exhibiting. This from time to time means I am also required to bring over and bring back...

    Do hotel bookings through AMEX Travel recognise status?

    Priority Baggage frustrations - QFi arrivals.

    So for perhaps the 3rd or 4th trip from the USA, I'm utterly disappointed by QFi's treatment of "Priority Baggage". I was stood at the carousel waiting for almost one hour as my bag, tagged with the orange "Oneworld Priority" bag was in (perhaps) the last group of bags arriving onto the...

    QF WP Domestic lounge access if not flying?

    I'm certain that previously WP/P1 status holders were allowed to go to domestic QF lounges even if they weren't flying? That doesn't seem to be published anymore on the QF website, and the nearest is reference to on arrival access. Is this the case that you must now be flying to be eligible?

    Emirates/QF Codeshares not showing for 2024 yet?

    I'm guessing its just a case of still too far out, but searching the QF website for SYD<>DXB flights in 2024 is not yielding any direct codeshare flights.

    With respect to Carry-On limits, why are Garment bags so special?

    A recent article over on the other website about QF baggage allowances got me thinking Why are garment bags so special to warrant their own additional carry-on allowance Do they strictly have to be the loose full cover type? or what if I have a tri-fold garment bag that's not rigid? In which...

    Early morning arrival options?

    Any chance we should consider preparing list of early morning arrival options to freshen up, by destination perhaps? Especially one that doesn't involve requiring arrivals lounges, or high hotel status to request early check-in etc. I'm looking at a scenario were I might arrive into a city at...
