If you are going on the Indian Pacific (or, I assume the Ghan) and you have 4 couples in Platinum you can ask for the Chairman's Carriage. It has the 4 bedrooms and a lounge. You still eat in the Platinum dining car and can go to the Platinum Lounge but you also have this space to yourselves...

Sorry, they said that they didn’t have facilities in Sydney.

Just to clarify, I was trying to book the car from Sydney to Perth. They said they did not have the facilities in Perth.

When I tried to book my car about 2 years ago they told me that it was no longer available.

Hi John, great trip report. I thought that I would add a few comments as we have just got back from taking the Indian Pacific from Perth to Sydney. I agree with you that the off train experiences are better going from Sydney to Perth. In fact, for ourt trip, the only times that we got off the...

Dear Kookaburra75, this was an absolutely fabulous travel report. I felt like I was on the trip with you. A truly great read - thanks for taking the time to do it. Hopefully you fixed the hole in the roof before the rain that we are having today.

Hi, I am working on a OneWorld award fare and have found a huge amount of info on this thread so thanks to everyone. As part of it, I am looking at J class flights from the NE USA to Paris (CDG). The only ones that I can find are on BA and have a fee of around US$700. (This is the fee when I...

Thanks sbor90

I am looking at doing some reward bookings for early 2021 and wanted to find out what the earliest date was that I could make the bookings. I have seen that there is a "350 day" rule (ie that reward availability opens up 350 days before the flight) but I thought that I had seen somewhere that...

PB has been a bugbear of mine for ages. I had a quick trip from CBR to MEL over the last couple of days. The CBR boarding was a debacle. They had 2 queues jammed between the 2 stations where they scan the boarding pass with neither being priority. The people who were looking for general boarding...

Please count me in.

I will try to get along to this. I haven't been to one before.

I can confirm that you need to be in J or F to use the express pass in BKK. Some of our group were refused service when they got to the front of the express queue as they had economy tickets even though they had express passes. At BKK I also saw a person who did not have their boarding pass...

A quick update on what happened with getting 3 guests into Bangkok lounges: as Happy Trails and Serfty said, we were able to get into CX and EK (and could also have got into Miracles). With a bit of shuffling we managed to get everyone into one lounge or another. Both the CX and EK lounges were...

Thanks Serfty, this is useful. I will try contact Qantas as we have 3 guests and 2 members flying.

Hi, I am a QF CL and am flying out of Bangkok on QF24. What lounges can I get guests into at BKK? I am flying J but the guests are flying economy. (I had a quick search but couldn't find the answer) Any recommendations about the best lounge are also welcome.

There has been a fair bit of discussion about rental cars from Frankfurt on a TripAdvisor forum and it may be worth looking at that. Some points that I got from that discussion are that the car return at Frankfurt is done by an independent company that seem to have an incentive to find damage...

Re: Qatar lounges in Zagreb Thanks for this reply - it is useful. We will be in Croatia and nearby countries for a few weeks and a doing a week on a yacht followed by about 2 to 3 weeks driving around. We have a couple of nights booked at Plitivice Lakes and are really looking forward to that.

Re: Qatar lounges in Zagreb Thanks for this information JessicaTam. I will try to remember to report back on what the lounge is like.

Qatar lounges in Zagreb We are flying through Zagreb with Qatar and wanted information on lounges. We are QF CL and will be flying International Business Class on Qatar from Zagreb. I found one lounge called Zrinjevac. Does anyone know anything about this or whether there is another lounge we...
