Great suggestion! Just called and a very pleasant and helpful woman changed our flights to QF/127/QF 128,on the spot and no charge. Thanks for the suggestion

Has any one noticed that Qantas have suddenly changed the departure times of QF 117 Syd- HKG to 15:50 - arriving in HKG at 22:15 ! Then QF 118 departs HKG at 23:35 arriving in Syd at 12:05!!!!!! We have fallen victim to this act of lunacy and have to rearrange hotel accommodation Who would...

Hong Kong. 8 1/2 flying time, and the HKG Arts Festival is on now

Many thanks. After 8 weeks in a "moon boot" now fully mobile

Regrettably, I have to report that following a fall Mrs AV broke a bone in her foot - in 2 places, which led to a cancellation of the entire trip. Unfortunately we were therefore unable to avail ourselves of the Finnair lounge - and sauna - sorry about that. Look forward to the experience next...

That is if the lens is not clouded over with steam

Good to hear. Will happily let everyone know how things go after we return at end May

Many thanks for your thoughts. We have managed to secure exit row seats both sectors, and will be paying 17 Euros for lunch on board

Hello fellow FF My wife and I are both One World Sapphire status (LTG Qantas), and are flying Finnair from Milan to Helsinki and back in May. We are flying economy class. My query is does our OW status allow us access to the Finnair lounge in Milan ( Monteverdi Lounge ) and in Helsinki? Many...

This sorry saga confirms my decision never to fly EK, nor any other ME airline, to Europe. If I can't fly QF all the way to Europe, then I will choose CX, OR SQ

Many thanks to everyone. It is clear that Finnair is the way to go, and given I am LT QF Gold, and my wife will be the same by then- it the Finns win .:D

I am planning to make a "side trip" from Milan to Helsinki in May next year There appear to be several possibilities Direct flight with Finnair, BA via LHR, SAS via CPH, Alitalia (using KLM) via AMS , LH via MUC, etc. We will be flying economy as J class fares are too expensive. Do members...

My Asia Miles were transferredfrom my Amex account

I have booked 2 rewards seats on CX for return flights SYD/HKG/ MXP for next year , in J class As we want to stop in HKG on the return from Milan, we booked as separate sectors-which cost more points, than if we had booked SYD/HKG/MXP as direct flights The Sydney /HKG sector has us arriving in...

Ah Hong Kong ! Our favourite place for a short holiday !. Flying to there next month for Chinese New Year I can certainly recommend the Ping Shan Heritage walk, which ends at Sheung Wan by the old Western Market. The Star Ferry harbour cruise is worth doing. There is also a new walk along a...

Re: Hong Kong ideas I have to agree with Febs.The Big Buddha is a bit of a let down, but the cable car ride is worthwhile. Beware of going to the Big Buddha and the Peak on weekends, the queues can be very long

Re: Hong Kong ideas You can also do a tour of the Harbour with the Star Ferry

Re: Hong Kong ideas For those considering going to Hong Kong and visiting well known Tsim Sha Tsui sites the three big sites will be closed- The SCMP has reported as follows "The Avenue of Stars, Hong Kong Space Museum and Hong Kong Museum of Art are all closing for periods ranging from one to...

I fully agree with you which is why we stay in Milan for 2 weeks , and travel on day trips around Northern Italy. One day Milan. next day the train to - where ever. We even managed to get some tickets for a performance at La Scala - that was a remarkable event - joining the locals for a night...
