Hi, I know this thread is old, but in case OP is subscribed for replies (is that an option?) - my suggestions are; - most Priority Pass lounges do not have showers - so do your research first on where you are flying - you don't say what airlines you travel instead of Qantas, but you could...

VA had ample seats available on several flights, going fast at 3am though! It would have been helpful to get an automated email from Qantas with information about what to do when your flight is cancelled and the airline doesn’t offer to rebook. (unless you sit on the phone for 3 or more...

Thank you! That's very kind of you to look. I did look at trains and buses too. The availability on Virgin suggests to me that his must have been a Qantas catastrophe - or at least that Virgin flights were not affected....Qantas still has very high call volumes. I don't understand why they can't...

That was the problem last night. Several empty planes but no crew. Very frustrating. At 2.30 am the baggage started coming out, completely randomly, all (at least 6, likely more) flights mixed together. Still can’t get through to qantas to reschedule, now 14 hours later. (I gave up and paid $300...

I was on QF550 to depart at 1930 from SYD tonight (Friday). No word until 2315 when they announced it was cancelled. And that there were no spaces for flights till Sunday! No word at all prior to that...Then "go home and call 131313". Then all flights cancelled and at least 6-8 flights' worth of...

jb747, thank you for all the information you have patiently posted in such a clear way. Its been an interesting read. The reason I mentioned AED's and ECG traces is because I wondered whether the ECG trace might give sufficient information to detect a (severe) MI. A significant issue in this...

Glad to be of some help. Just wanted to clarify what I meant about booster seats. I hope I won't offend you, car seats seem to be a contentious issue. I just meant that for some car hire companies, booster seat means a little foam cushion you sit on (with no back). These are quite dangerous...

Hi, I haven't quite got my head around where you are driving and why, but just wanted to warn you about car seats (if you didn't already know). I have travelled to Europe twice and the UK once with young children (soon to be twice), as well as Canada. I have had significant problems with...

This is an interesting scenario, as I'd have thought that they would have landed in Dubai. I've been on a 747 in the past when an engine failed during takeoff from Heathrow and we had to fly for 4-5 hours before landing again, and as I say that was a 747. I also would have thought that...

Hi, I just wanted to add that the car seat from UK will not be legal to use to restrain a child in a car in Australia, as the Australian ones must have the top tether and meet the Australian standards (which European car seats don't). I guess this is only a minor potential issue, its pretty...
