    Which is the best airline to fly from Australia to Bali?

    Flew SYD-DPS-SYD last week once again in Garuda Business Class. Fantastic crew both ways , friendly, warm, engaging. Pro active refills of champas, beer, even coughtails. Basic wine offerings. Plenty of tucker, full meal plus a snack served on the 5-6 hour flight. Food was decent, an Indonesian...

    Which is the best airline to fly from Australia to Bali?

    I very much enjoyed my GA J class pre Covid flight SYD-DPS. 2-2-2 config but an empty seat next to me made it feel more spacious. Food and drink decent enough. Friendly flight attendants, pleasant return trip. Would happily fly with them again.

    Emirates hikes up carrier charges on reward seats

    This is why I don’t bank points. I’m glad I’ve used them in the past to fly Emirates F to Barcelona and Bangkok from Sydney. Great experience and well worth it at the time a few years back.

    2022 travel plans

    Well back in September last year I optimistically booked J Award seats on JAL to Japan this coming April. But that is still in doubt as Japan is yet to open, so we may look at Vietnam or Thailand instead if need be. See how we go..

    Ask The Pilot

    Appreciate the reply. So the aircraft didn’t land in Sydney due to excessive tailwind. And the tailwind limits change after curfew? Next question is why. Less safety response teams on duty? And air traffic control cannot change the direction of landing from north to south? Sorry just curious as...

    Ask The Pilot

    Hi just wondering whether anyone can answer my question. I was woken by an aircraft overhead this morning around 3.30am. Curiosity got the better of me and I opened the map to learn that it was QF7334 Brisbane-Sydney operated by Nauru Airlines, about 2 hours behind schedule. Anyway after...

    A350 seats to avoid 40C & 40H

    I flew CX713 yesterday Bkk-Singapore on 10 month old B-LRD. J Class 14K. My first experience of the A350. Loved it. Fantastic aircraft. Was a little unsure what to expect having not flown Cathay for about 20 years. The hard and soft product were both awesome. Warm friendly service, tasty food...

    Sydney check in question

    Best of my life. Having read plenty of EK F reviews I had a pretty good idea what to expect, but the cabin crew were awesome and exceeded my expectations. Caviar, Hennessy Paradis, Shower, only 4/14 seats occupied. Friendly crew. Great flight. Gonna be tough to fly anything else in future..

    Sydney check in question

    ChrisFlyer, that was my experience today. Arrived at the airport early, straight through security and had time for a leisurely lunch in the Qantas F lounge. I've just wandered down to the Emirates lounge where they've processed my passport and issued a new boarding pass. Enjoying a nice little...

    Sydney check in question

    First time poster, please go easy :) Would appreciate a bit of advice. Flying Syd-Bkk EK419 with a carry on bag only. If I check in online and print my boarding pass is it possible to arrive at the airport anytime and head straight through security? Or is it necessary to still "check in" at...
