    Cairo 'holiday' hack

    I'm in the habit of booking my BA trips as a 'holiday' by booking a hotel and/or a car for a few days and thereby only needing to make a deposit until 30 days before departure. Tried to do this on a Cairo booking and got no joy. Near as I can tell it isn't possible there. Does the Egyptian...

    Do I have a choice?

    AFAIK I only have the 6 digit combo. Why do I need it? When it comes time to check in will it not be a simple click or two on the app? edit: Yes, there were 081 ticket numbers issued. Do I enter them in some sort of lottery?

    Do I have a choice?

    Update: Glad I charged my phone before calling. The very nice Indian lady had no clue and/or authority. 56 minutes, probably 50 of which was being on hold listening to Techno Lite! The good news is I didn't have resort to any charm, Irish or porcine, let alone assertiveness. No probs...

    Do I have a choice?

    defurax, thanks, I've seen the posts decrying the call center wait times so I tried the seemingly useless online route. Guess I'll have to put the kettle on and try calling.

    Do I have a choice?

    Booked LAX-SYD-AKL-SYD-LAX a fortnight ago. Got an 'friendly' email last night from Qantas telling me that our return flights had been changed without actually saying why but that I could 'manage' the changes on the app/website. After sussing the cause (they've axed QF17) I set about...

    If pigs could fly!

    I'm living proof that pigs, given half a chance, can fly. :) Looking forward to our first trip to Oz and NZ on Qantas! Bloody long haul from Los Angeles but it should be bearable in business on the A380, yeah?
