Agree with your comments Mark 213. It’s definitely not the full economy experience using the First Class lounge and if my recent QF International experience is anything to go by I will not be flying QF any time soon.

Agree with Lynda 2475. From my recent and past experience (which has not been the best utilising third parties eg Expedia, hotels.com, etc, etc) use all these different sites as a price comparison tool. Then book with the preferred accommodation direct, they will, 99% of the time, match any...

Austman, Please post and tell us how your experience was. Very curious about this. Jetstar for me to be avoided like the plague! I too, am not a fan of o/night flights from Asia to Australia. Cheers

Hi Saab34, My reasoning being 346 innocent people who lost their lives. Recent article from Reuters: The deal capped a 21-month investigation into the design and development of the 737 MAX following the deadly crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia in 2018 and 2019. Boeing did not disclose key...

Personally, I would not choose to knowingly fly in a MAX - regardless of the upgraded flight systems.

Thanks scoobs214. Have completed the journey and your comments are correct. Travelled W and had access to the 1st class lounge which was excellent. As you stated we came prepared and all worked out well in the end. JAL were excellent and happy to travel with them again.

Thanks for the responses. Booked to fly SYD - HND - LHR soon and Japan still closed to tourists also airside transit hotel still closed so a night in the terminal beckons!

Wondering if anyone has travelled with JAL (Internationally) recently? Experience/opinion?

1652348089 Thanks. This is the info I was curious about.

Good point. Most reviews I’ve read about Wise refer to the better exchange rate they apply.

Hi, Has anyone had experience using a Wise debit card internationally ? Thinking of obtaining one for use in Europe and the UK.

After having been caught by third parties several times, sure - use the mentioned sources to research your flight requirements but book directly with the airline. Third party bookings are just that. No recourse if something goes off the rails.

I have a similar issue travelling W SYD-HND 31/5 and then travelling to LHR next day. At this stage, cannot enter Japan. Transit Hotel at Haneda is closed and really it appears the only option for us is an uncomfortable night in the terminal. The Sakura lounge is also closed but I believe that...

Having had reasons to deal with Chubb (through my AMEX card) all I can say on the insurance offered is, beware and read the PDS - VERY carefully to ascertain if it covers your requirements.

Great journey but if you are happy to travel on local trains as we did, using a Swiss Rail Pass it is much, much less expensive. No meals or drinks served by staff but travels the exact same line and the exact same views without all the tourists! Switzerland has some fantastic rail options with...

Not sure about the latest discrimination abilities of airport X-ray machines nor about the discrimination abilities of the staff operating - them. Had a brand new, quality carry on bag go through a machine last year at Guernsey Airport (Channel Islands) and the operator was insistent that there...

eBay Plus = Waste of time and money. If it’s free, take it and save $50 but benefits are very limited. I won’t be renewing.

Apparently in p-and-t’s world humour and sarcasm are not acceptable. Probably offensive as well.

My understanding is that overseas visitors will be hit with a “conversion fee” every time their card is used. Better for overseas visitors to stick with an Opal card.
