Hi all, So we got a notification from QF about timing changes to an upcoming (April) MEL-HBA flight (not the only one we've received in the last few days - QF seem to be doing a lot of fiddling at the moment). Anyway, this change left us with a pretty tight connection from the preceding PER-MEL...

Anyone planning to take a trip on the Icon of the Seas?

Hi all I'm looking for ideas for a possible Philippines beach holiday... If I were to fly into Cebu, where would you suggest that's not too far or too difficult to get to for a beautiful and fairly quiet beach? I know that's a bit vague so maybe like within half a day's travel? Be that by road...

Hi all, If I use a Qantas Pass credit to book a Red-e-Deal domestic flight, am I able to upgrade that booking using points? Also, presumably if I don't use all the credit on a booking the remainder stays on the Pass, like a cash balance, right? Its not like you have to use it all up in one go...

Hi there I have a flight booked with QR which has changed to their A333. I'm in J and assigned myself 2A when the flight was scheduled to be run by an A359 with a 1-2-1 config. What's the difficulty rating on getting past the person in 2B on the aisle? Let's assume they've put their seat into...

Hi all Are blocked seats still usually released at T-80? Asking specifically for Dom J. Anybody noticed anything different recently?

Hi all Does anyone know if Virgin will be running promotions on buying points in the near future? I see they have done a 20% bonus in the past, though think was pre-covid and restructure etc. Are there any standing discount codes or any other sort of 'hack' to buy point below standard rate??

Hi I'm looking to book PER-TSV on VA and looks like I could choose from stopping in BNE, SYD or MEL. Are the lounges all very similar, or is any one of them better? Outside of that, can anyone think of reasons to choose any particular stopover rather than the others? Many TIA

Hiya, Brief context: I have the Amex Elevate card Don't accumulate a ton of points Based in Perth Pre-covid was traveling domestically say 3x a year and internationally (Asia) 1-2x a year, often on points In future, might instead focus on less dom/asia travel and build points toward a family...

So in late May I booked a short trip, PER-MEL return, for early August. And then of course the latest outbreak came along in Melb. I wasn't too worried and sure enough, now looking very good for the trip to go ahead 🤞 However, QF emailed me yesterday, advising changes to both legs. But by...

Hi all, A few questions around booking flights with VA... 1. Looks like you cannot combine use of Travel Bank and a Promo Code. Anyone know of a way you can do so? 2. Can you upgrade with points if you have used; (a) Travel Bank or (b) a Promo Code for the original booking? 3. Ignoring the...

Has anyone asked or succeeded in getting a QF flight credit extension? Mine, that I received on 31 Dec, must be used to book a flight by 3 Feb. I'm aware I could book just any old flight then change that later to a flight I actually want, but I'd prefer not to go that way, for several reasons...

Hi again, *Sorry, not sure in where best to post this, so just went with Open Discussion* I made a booking (many months back) using Alaska miles for QF flights PER-CNS, departing late July this year. Of course, I'm pondering a few things with this booking, and hoping the savvy minds here can...

Hi, Booked a flight PER-DPO (via MEL) in Business, but of course am involuntarily in Y for MEL-DPO because there is no J on that flight. But since it is all one ticket/booking, will I get lounge access in MEL? Further info: this is on QF, a Classic Award (don't think that matters?), and am a...

I've had a bit of a look around in here and on the Qantas and Virgin websites, but can find no info on including a stopover on a domestic ticket - probably because it can't be done, would be my guess. I take it that you must simply use the multi-city booking tool instead. But of course that will...

Hi all, Wondering if anyone has properly looked into flying the original 1947 Qantas "Kangaroo Route". This is, according to the internet, Sydney to London with stops in Darwin, Singapore, Calcutta, Karachi, Cairo, and Tripoli. I started trying to price it but sites like google flights and...

Hi all, Just contemplating my HKIA lounge crawl itinerary and when to possibly hit the QF lounge - what time does the 'plate of the day' usually get served (sub-Q; is it from an exact time or just sorta thenabouts)? And does it usually go/run out pretty fast or stay available for a couple of...

Hi all, I'm flying SQ from PER to HKG. I'll have carry-on only and travelling on an Australian passport. I've read the SQ webpage about online check-in and see that PER is on the list of places that accept self-printed boarding passes, but there's also the caveat that you can proceed straight to...

Hi there trusted experts, I'm looking to book two tickets on Qantas - classic reward tickets Mel-Per, business class. As in, two pax travelling together. For the day I wish to travel, the QF site shows ONE reward seat available on my preferred flight, and two on a different (non-preferred)...

Hi there, I'll be flying out of BKK in Singapore Air business class - so beyond the SilverKris lounge, it seems I have access to Thai and EVA as well. I've been in the Thai lounges - does EVA beat them and SilverKris? Which lounge would folks recommend?Many thanks for any advice or comments.
