    Do the contents of the Business class Toiletry bags need to be in transparent bags for security?

    You know what I'll do. I'll keep the toiletry bag as is and bring some spare transparent bags just in case. Will come back and report what happens

    Do the contents of the Business class Toiletry bags need to be in transparent bags for security?

    So going to HK, TW and JPN. I'm bringing a toiletry bag that I got from a previous Emirates flight which has shaving cream, aftershave, moisturiser, lip balm etc. (I really liked this one - it's the Bvugari bag). I'm guessing this will have to go in a LAG bag Yeah normally I throw the...

    Do the contents of the Business class Toiletry bags need to be in transparent bags for security?

    Taking a few trips soon and will be collecting a few toiletry bags from J seats. Do the contents of the toiletry bags you receive from the airline need to go in a transparent bag when going through security? I don't recall having to do so when I was in the US.

    Domestic to International transfer in Melbourne

    I'm taking the 0600-0825 BNE-MEL flight (I think this is the first flight for the day for this leg) before taking a MEL-HKG flight (J seat) departing at 1020. Both with QF. The two tickets were bought separately but a prior experience with QF has allowed my baggage to be connected so I don't...

    Classic Reward Flights Generic Error when booking J seats on multiple legs

    You should be able to book the legs separately. Not ideal but is possible. That's how I got around it. Only downside of this method is that you need to account for delays because the legs weren't booked together

    Classic Reward Flights Generic Error when booking J seats on multiple legs

    Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense. Looking back at another booking I made last year, a similar thing happened. I tried booking for a J ticket to DFW from BNE, SYD or MEL. Found one from SYD to DFW but when I tried booking for BNE-SYD and SYD-DFW, it didn't work. I had to separate...

    Classic Reward Flights Generic Error when booking J seats on multiple legs

    Thanks! I had a look through this but I don't think the error I experienced is listed here. I definitely remember the error including the words "generic" in there. Not sure if I can replicate the error again as I've already booked the flights..

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    I'm about 90SC short from the next tier. I think I will be on 4 Domestic trips before my status expire in December. I won't have an opportunity to fly International so I think my best chances are the domestic flights. What is the most cost-effective way to maximise the SC? The 4 trips will be...

    Booking Alaska Airlines via Qantas - Question about Cabin Class

    So am looking at a domestic flight in the US and it's come up with several options to fly Alaska Airlines via Qantas Classic Rewards. There is Economy and Business Class available but I am unsure what the Business Class would equate to for Alaska Airlines as their website shows Main Cabin...

I have someone bringing a piece of jewellery for me from overseas and was wondering if I should ask...

    Transiting through DFW

    That's what I found as well when researching for accommodation near DFW. I assume most of these places will have an airport shuttle. If not, it's only short cab/uber ride away

    Transiting through DFW

    That's good to know. It'll be my first trip to the US (apart from Hawaii). I do know that it takes time (sometimes hours) to go through their airports. We've decided to just stay near the airport for a night and then fly the next day. Many are saying the DFW Grand Hyatt. It seems a bit...

    Transiting through DFW

    No it's not. Will be booked on different instances. I haven't booked the flight out of DFW yet. Just weighing my options Yeah we are leaning to stay a night in Dallas before travelling to ORD. Definitely don't feel less than 2 hours is enough

    Transiting through DFW

    I've booked a flight from SYD to DFW (QF) and am looking to transit from DFW to ORD (AA). Both bookings are made through the Qantas website. First leg is due to arrive at 1400 and the second leg is due to depart at 1545. Is this cutting it too close? I haven't been to DFW and unsure how busy...

    Hong Kong COVID Requirements for Layover?

    Thinking of taking route that will require us to layover in HKG. I see that their COVID requirements are really strict. Has anyone had any recent experience doing a layover in HKG? Do we just need have a vaccination record, pre-travel negative test and the RAT & PCR test on arrival?
