I had a trip cancelled due to COVID-19 that was booked through Amex Travel and paid via by Amex CC. I always book direct with the airline but this time I was wanting to use up my travel credit that comes with the CC. Anyway, long story short, it was all cancelled and the refund was processed...

We have 1st class tix booked for August with Alaska Airlines MSP - SFO. Today I received an email that said it was a flight confirmation but actually its a complete rebooking. Looks like our original direct MSP-SFO does not exist anymore and they have rebooked us on alternate flights going...

We are flying into SFO on a Thursday morning in late July 2018 on NZ 8 which is scheduled to arrive at 12.55pm. We need to be in Seattle to meet friends for dinner that evening. I haven't booked a connecting flight to Seattle yet but I will likely book something cheap in Y on United. I didn't...

I see that on JAL website they are advising re downtimes due to the imminent migration of their passenger services system on November 16. A quick Google tells me that JAL signed with Amadeus a couple of years ago for them to move on to the Altea system. Is that what QF uses? Does this mean...

I'm looking to purchase several J class award seats for September - October next year. I'm actually after 5 seats in total but one of us will be travelling alone there and back (different dates) and the other 4 can split up 2 and 2 if needed on different days/flights etc. I know they aren't...

When is a passenger reimbursement policy not a policy? Ask Air Canada - Business - CBC News Makes for interesting reading. The outcome could have significant consequences for how airlines need to deal with stranded passengers.

For quite a few years now I have used FJ J as a cheap way to get to the USA on my yearly business trip. I book it in 3 parts, one way AU-NAD then return NAD-LAX-NAD and then one way NAD-AU. Today I tried to get some pricing and it kept telling me that my booking would be in AUD and AU booking...

Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to go about this? My father is moving back to Australia after living in the UK for many years. He has asked me to research longer term (a couple of months) car rental while he sorts out buying a car. As I'm overseas when he arrives I thought...

My somewhat elderly mother is travelling to Europe on her own and has an overnight stopover in BKK on the way. I have booked her into the BKK Novotel. She and I did the same thing when travelling to Europe together in 2011 and she has bad memories of having to walk for miles through the airport...

Has anyone had any recent experience renewing their UK passport through the online service? I'm having a bit of a panic attack as information online indicates they have had massive backlogs and delays since moving to this system and I have a trip to China coming up in June. I only need a new...

Mr Timtammi and I just returned from a trip to Bangkok and QF have stiffed us on our points and status credits saying that our 3K operated QF codeshare flights from SIN-BKK are not eligible as they are booked into the wrong class. Maybe I have had my head in the sand, and I know there have...

I have some goods I am hand carrying to a trade show in Thailand under a Carnet. I have to get the goods inspected and the carnet stamped prior to checking in at the QF counter for the flight. I rang customs this morning as I thought I might need to go their offices which are off airport and...

2 of us are travelling to Bangkok next month for a trade show. Due to a local partner letting us down at the last minute we are going to need to travel with 2 machines (smallish specialty printers) and other accessories. We will be getting an ATA Carnet for this purpose and the units are small...

Some friends have asked me to assist with their plans to travel to the UK next June/July to visit family (2A + 2C). Flight Centre have quoted them $2K ea for Y on MH and $4K ea for Y+ on CX. I've told them I can do better but am having trouble finding anything decent for them. They have said...

Hi there all Mr Timtammi and I have travelled to KL quite a few times (mainly on business) but during our next trip we will be there for a special occasion - our 10th wedding anniversary. Any suggestions for a nice place to go for dinner? We like all types of cuisine so its more about the...

I'm off to Europe on May 16. Flying QF MEL-BKK and then QR BKK-MXP and then the reverse on the return. The MEL-BKK return was booked direct with QF and the BKK-MXP direct with QR so they are on different PNR's. The QF flights are in Y and the QR ones in J if that makes any difference (I suspect...

I've visited Hong Kong many times but usually stay in either the Wan Chai/Causeway bay area or have stayed in TST a couple of times. This time we are staying at Langham Place. I know the mall connected to the Langham but I'm wondering if there are any other decent shopping destination near the...

I've just made a silly mistake. In my day to day life I spell my first name a certain way, most of my ID including credit cards. medicare etc have my name spelt that way. However, my passport has it spelt differently, there is one letter that is different, ie ending in y rather than ending in i...

I thought I saw the JT 707 parked at SYD when taking the bus from INT to DOM on Saturday morning after arriving back from NRT on QF22. Wasn't sure if that was really it but thought I recognised it from the pics I've seen of it before. I happen to live about 5 mins from Royal Melbourne Golf...
