    TR21 was cancelled today due to TR20 having to divert to MEL due to weather, my mother was supposed to be on that flight and she said Scoot isn't offering any assistance to passengers even though it's nearly midnight when they cancelled the flight. I know this is one of those "you get what you...

    Marriott hotels in Melbourne, which to choose? (W vs Sheraton vs Le Meridian vs Westin)

    There are quite a few Marriott hotels in Melbourne nowadays, especially with the opening of the W and Le Meridian hotel. Has anyone stayed in them and can comment which hotel they prefer? I've got Titanium status so a lounge is a plus also.

    Duty free alcohol on JQ16 (KIX-CNS-MEL)

    I am looking to fly JQ16 (KIX-CNS-MEL) next month, given the CNS-MEL leg will depart from the international terminal, would JQ allow people to carry duty-free alcohol onboard at KIX or would they deny it on the basis that CNS isn't my final destination and hence I can only pick up duty-free...

    Very high surcharge originating from BKK

    I am looking at booking BKK-MEL flights using QF points, and my jaw dropped when I saw the surcharge: Anyone know what's going on? 22k THB is nearly $900 AUD per person in surcharge alone! It only happens for ex-BKK flights. If I price a MEL-BKK return the surcharge is a lot more reasonable.

    QF zeroing out trans tasman flights this month

    I noticed my QF152 flight is no longer for sale on the QF website, and upon further investigation it seems like you can't even book a AKL-MEL flight at all on certain dates of May, even with connections. Is it likely that those flights will be cancelled shortly? And what options will they offer...

    QF9 cancelled, when will they rebook me?

    I booked a J award ticket from MEL-DRW-LHR in early November. Given Qantas announced they will push back this flight to late November, when can I expect them to rebook me on the SYD service?

    QF109, is QF operating from DRW to LHR?

    I just saw QF loaded a flight (QF109) from DRW to LHR on 8th of August, interestingly I can only book it on Expedia as MEL-DRW-LHR but it doesn't appear on the QF website, is that a genuine flight? I can see it on flightradar and would love to fly directly to London from Melbourne without an...

    My MEL-ZQN flight for next Saturday is cancelled and Qantas want to route me via SYD with a 1 hour transit time, but I don't want to transit in SYD given the bubble is currently suspended for SYD and I am not sure 1 hour is enough in today's covid environment, what other option do I have?

    I got $800 worth of Amex Travel credit that will expire in December. Given there's virtually no chance of me being allowed to travel outside Melbourne before the end of this year, do anyone know what options are Amex offering to people?
