With no real plans over Christmas, my wife and I decided to take a trip over to Dubai to spend some time with my sister so I thought I'd try to put together a short review of the flight. I tried searching on the forums while researching my flights but couldn't see too many posts about Etihad...

I recently got back from an OS trip and flew IST-SIN on SQ with a connecting QF award flight on EK404 to MEL in J for 3 pax. My original booking SIN-MEL was on QF36 but about a month before the flight, I received a notification that QF36 was cancelled, and my booking was 'updated' to QF38...

Need some advice on how to proceed with a refund request with QF. My SO purchased LHR>SYD flights in Jan 2020 for travel in April 2020 which as we know was impacted by Covid and cancelled with a voucher issued in it's place. The flights were paid for using PayPal linked to a churner that's...

I've been trying to search from some availability on EK using QF points from DXB to AU ports but keep getting the below error. Does anyone know if there are any work arounds or tips and tricks to find availability from DXB to AU ports using QF points

I booked an EK award flight with QF points for the 28th of Feb for my parents. The booking on the QF and EK websites graphics show the flight as 28th Feb, however the email itinerary I've received from QF says the departure is 28th November. The same thing happens on the EK website, the booking...

Hi All, I've got two separate bookings that I want to try join so I can interline luggage and have a smooth transfer in Sydney. The two bookings are a Revenue QF MEL>SYD booking and a SYD>DXB award flight on EK. Looking for some feedback on whether this is possible or not. I'm travelling with...

BA Have launched a sale on the Avios required to make bookings on awards flights. 50% off long haul and 25% off short haul in all classes. It's a pretty decent offer if you have a stash of Avios. Reports of stacking the offer with an Amex 241 voucher also seem to work. BA's taxes are normally...

Hi All, Looking at some flights from LHR>ATL>LHR>AGP for work and have found that IB codeshare flights on BA metal are £1,000 cheaper compared to the same flights from BA.com. Will get I get QF SCs based on the earnings table if I choose the IB marketed flights? I understand the difference...

I've been looking at flights to DXB from LHR in September for a work conference and have a number of options in the £350-400 range for return flights in Y. BA has some availability in W as they're starting to fly their new A350 on that route from early Sept which is cool. Return prices for W...

Well it's official I think. Flights from Melbourne to Cardiff with QR in J have been booked! :) This is something that's been on the cards for a while but has just become a lot more real. The SO has officially received and accepted a job offer for a position in Cardiff which is awesome for her...

I had an interesting call from QF yesterday for a flight I am taking today - MEL-BNE-HKG all in Y. The QF agent advised me that they had overbooked the flight and were looking for volunteers to give up their seat and take the same flights the following day with an upgrade to J for the HKG leg...

I've moved into a new role within my company which will see me travelling to the Asia Pacific region more frequently - around once a month is what has been agreed upon. I'll be flying to the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand more frequently, and less frequently to places like Indonesia...

This trip has already come and gone unfortunately :( I considered doing it live, but felt it would've been too hard and I wanted to try and disconnect myself from the interwebs as much as possible. All the planning for this trip started around early last year after learning a bit more about the...

/rant The NAB ios app is one of the most frustrating things ever! The thing never works!!! When I'm connected to wifi its fine, the minute I switch over to 4G, its "We've Lost you. We cant find an internet connection. Please check you connection and give it another go." I exit the app, close...
