Thanks for all your thoughts, much appreciated. Have taken the plunge and booked J class, SYD to PPT as minimal difference in cost from mixed fare Y/J. You are right Anna, we're not staying in PPT but travelling on to Bora Bora - on partners bucket list (mine to if truth be told!). Will report...

Hi All, quick question regarding business class on Air Tahiti Nui Auckland to Papeete. It seems to get mixed reviews on general internet sites so I have come to ask those that are more likely to know for an opinion. The occasion is my partners 50th so bear this in mind. So how do we rate their...

Hi Moffat, The local EK chauffeur company will always contact you the day before to confirm pickup time, address number/ type of bags you have - golf clubs can cause a problem. Clearly this is so they can send an appropriate vehicle. My previous experience was that the company would call your...

Hi, looking for advice on travelling from Sydney to Havana, Cuba next April. My partner is making this round trip alone and is undecided which airline to fly and route to take bearing in mind you cannot fly directly from the US to Cuba - at least at present. Flight would be in business class...

It's been a while since I tried to access a lounge on EK silver membership traveling in economy but this was always possible only to selected secondary business lounges in Dubai, not the principal business lounges in the concourses where you either held a business ticket or EK gold membership to...

Hi, I realise this thread is pretty old now but if any of the previous responders read this then what line did they use with Citibank to have the annual fee waived? Just "I'll leave if you dont waive the fee" or something more subtle. I only ever use my points for upgrades on EK and have never...

Hi, Not sure about the height issue but all seats have access to the ICE system. Enjoy the show!

Hi, I agree with pomkiwi that the A380 is a better bet assuming that you dont want a leg stretch on the ground. I havent seen the recliner seats for some time in 777-300ERs and they all seem to have the semi-capsule like almost lie flat seats. Not quite truly lie flat but damn near it. In terms...

Hi Prozac, yes you do - from Glasgow but in Sydney for over 10 years hence my obscene carbon footprint flying around. Last time I wrote the word prozac it was on a script! Actually I work in Manly once a fortnight, great place to live, awesome beach. Cheers.

Hi Dr Artemis, Thanks for your reply. I hadn't heard this but it would make sense in that the lounge is too big simply to accommodate the passengers from a 777-ER. An A380 on the other hand would be a different matter - if they were planning on going on to NY for instance and soak up a large...

Hi, Thought I would add my two cents worth as I fly Emirates a lot. If I was you I would register an EK frequent flyer number on this trip. The biggest bang form your buck with Emirates is getting to Silver status as this gets you an extra 10kg baggage allowance, use of the business class...

Hi, as the title suggests this is my first post on this forum so greetings to all. I had looked at it for advice regarding lounges I would use while on a recent trip and found it really useful so thought it was time to make a contribution myself. I'm never sure how to introduce yourself on these...
