    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    You don't need to travel in one direction on a oneworld award booking. For a paid around the world fare you do but the award fare is just based on number of stops, miles and availability

    Just got notified that jal cancelled my return flight from hnd to SYD in July. So looks like I'm back to working out an alternative. They did the same on out outbound which which we were going to transit via Tokyo. Which I get because Japan isn't yet open to tourists but does this mean it is...

    What happens if you catch COVID whilst overseas?

    Where did you get tested? I'm due to go on my belated honeymoon in a couple of weeks and honestly the test prior is giving me anxiety attacks. I'm triple vaxxed, never had covid and not all that worried if I do get as I have no other health problems but the idea of having to cancelling...

    does anyone know if there is a number that you can use on the weekend? I'm coming up to 3 hours on 13 11 31 and I know that previously this number I would get a message to say call between 7am - 7pm mon-fri. I've got my booking already done but currently have a not so pleasant 17 hour wait in...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    I'm one of those people. I was meant to get married last year. Put my life on hold due to covid and went through a pretty bad depression last year realising that it will likely also mean I won't have children. It didn't help that anytime I spoke to anyone about it they just said well I could...

    Only a few more weeks before we get vaccinations started. Hopefully they approve AZ soon too. I'm back of the queue so still a long wait for me

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    So strange. I felt like the qr codes for every venue appeared overnight in Sydney. Most places won't let you in until you show that each person has signed in. I'm more worried now that other states are so badly prepared so if anything happens in those states and something slips through hotel...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    I do wonder what the proportion of interstate travellers return via Sydney. It does seem somewhat unfair that Sydney takes on the greatest risk for the very risk adverse states yet those states then treat us like we are all diseased. Do the other states not have adequate contact tracing to...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    Just remember that a big reason why it was so hard to get a flu shot at the beginning of flu season this year was also because workplace vaccination programs weren't held because many offices were in wfh mode. My work and many others gave vouchers that could be used at my chemist warehouse and...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    It will probably depend on how that country is going vaccinating their citizens. There are a few EU countries that we get reciprocal medicare so potentially it may fall under that

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    It worries me as I really want to get back to UK mid next year..however I know in Australia I will be back of the queue for a vaccine so I won't have any chance in the first few months. Im planning on leaving for more than 3 months so will be able to apply for the exemption. If the UK has...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    I did a trip to East Africa last year and my doctor asked when I last got a polio booster... I literally have no idea and didn't even know people still got polio. There definitely seems to be a big diffence between Australians and people I talk to overseas talk about covid cases. I agree with...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    I've spent close to 2k this year on domestic travel and I'm unlikely to spend too much more as the year is coming to an end and I won't be able to take leave in December. This is fairly comparable to prior years as I usually take a few weekend trips Last year I spent over 2k on flights alone...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    It will be interesting to see what the government decides on the priority order. I know plenty of Australians that aren't too keen on getting the covid vaccination whereas they would for other things. Lots of people still refuse to get the flu vaccination. I know at first there will be...

    I wasn't suggesting booking a trip to singapore right now for a short stay even if you were a citizen of both countries. I think you may have misunderstood what i was saying. It was in response to a previous post that mentioned expensive prices in sentosa because they have a captive market...

    Kind of like our regional areas they are seeing a massive increase in tourists because no one can go further afield.
