    New Qantas route to Vietnam?

    indeed, they run out of money. Their aircraft lease has not been renewed. Ever since QF abandoned the Vietnamese market, Pacific has always been a poor cousin of VN airline.

    Qantas selling a ticket but can't tell baggage allowance

    I agree in theory with Oz-mark, theory only! it is a single booking, one PRN. I couple of months ago, the agent could not check me in as the system is asking for excess baggage fee to be paid to VN airline. Luckily at that time i was also a premium frequent flyer member with VN airline, the...

I call QF to ask about baggage allowance, QF could not provide me with any info. They refer me to Vietnam airline. I called Vietnam airline, they do not...

    Long transit in Doha

    It is extremely rare to have rain in Qatar. You was very lucky! i was in Doha in March 2023. Nobody would be walking under the sun during the day. late night the Souq Waqif was packed with people, family, very vibrant.

    Long transit in Doha

    @burmans is correct about the mid day heat in Doha. I would not get out until after 4 pm. The Museum of Islamic Art opens until 7 pm, it has a beautiful garden and a great view to Doha skyline. There is a metro stop for the MIA.

    Long transit in Doha

    @luxury-lizard Australian passport holders can enter Qatar on their visa waiver program. I travelled to Doha in March last year and did not pay the visa fee. However, I had to pay for 1 month of health insurance, the airline told me it was compulsory. Later this year, i will take Mrs Longtoo...

    Seat selection in QR Business Lite via OW Sapphire..?

    thanks MarthWolf and Syd I have got it done. I did it on the Qatar website after retrieving my booking. but i have to log out of my Qatar profile as the system only recognises my status with QF. Now, i need to make sure that SC is going to to my Qantas profile and not Avios.

    Travelling around Vietnam

    there is not much to see from your bus from HCM city to Ha Noi. It is a long journey and if you do not speak the local language, you will have a hard time on the bus and reststops. if you want to experience bus travel in vietnam, i would recommend short distance over well established routes with...

    New Qantas route to Vietnam?

    Qantas is thought to be the key reason to reject Qatar's application for more flight to Australia. Yet the government has recently approved many more flights between Australia and Vietnam, only to be used by airlines from Vietnam such as Vietnam Airline and Vietjet. There is high volume air...

    Compensation for JQ cancelled flight

    I hope the OP does not mind that I piggy back on this post. JQ505 this morning SYD-MEL was cancelled. I had a book for my partner and 2 of her friends from overseas/interstate. The cancellation email was very opaque, it states "30$ per person per day for meals", clear not enough to feed a...

    Thanks Captain Halliday, good to see J5. I notice QF128 on 19/10 was delay until this morning. QF127 today was pretty late but has left SYD. QF may have some operational issues to deal with.
