stopovers and transit

I’m flying to GLA from CHC (via MEL, PER & LHR) in October. I’m a little unsure about where I clear customs & immigration and collect my checked bags in Australia. My flights, including return flights back to CHC are all on the same ticket. My flight to MEL (QF132) is scheduled to arrive at...

I’ve had a domestic flight change before my international one. BNE-SYD now due to land at 17:45 with SYD-YVR scheduled to depart at 20:30 It feels too close to me, but am I just nervous / overreacting? What would be your comfort gap to transit from a domestic flight to international one?

2 quick questions if I could ask the brain trust? 1. Is there a website which list of airports which can be used to transit from Europe to Australia (eg DOH/BKK/CMB etc). I'm trying to book a return from Europe in January and can get from Europe to Asia/middle east but as always it is very...

Hi All. Hoping to get some help on an upcoming J Class QFF points flight booked from DOH to SYD via KL on Qatar and Malaysia. Qatar have just advised that the DOH-KL flight will be pushed back such that we now have only 25 mins to make the transit at KLIA. The flights are on one booking...

So I was needing to get to Europe (UK & Central/Eastern Europe) but start in the Philippines, so started playing with dates. I'm flying our later this month, and back 2.5 weeks later. I ended up flying from CRK and back to CRK, as the savings compared to MNL were significant on certain days...

I've got a SC run booked for early next month. MEL-SYD-AKL on one ticket and AKL-SYD-MEL on another ticket. In theory I should be able to make the return flight as I am catching the turn around flight but only if I can transit in AKL and I don't have to clear immigration and I can get QF to...

Above is my upcoming trip. Has anyone done above route? Is that doable given only 1 hour to find the next flight in HGN ? (Havent been to that airport before) Above booked as one booking via Singapore air

Hi, I’ve got my flight to LA next week and am stressing out now as I’m reading and hearing that one hour transit won’t be enough time? I’ve never been to Sydney airport but I’m reading I would catch the qantas seamless shuttle? Would I then need to go through customs/immigration and then get...

My son and I were travelling together at the end of June to Sydney to attend a family funeral. He was keen to travel on the Dreamliner and use points for a potential upgrade to PE. The QF6 Per-Syd Domestic sector was also the cheapest option for the day of travel and I knew we could both...

Good Day all, wanted some input on my particular situation. First trip back overseas since i arrived back from Colombia in March 2020 (Couple of days before borders closed) and i honestly feel abit rusty. I am heading back to see friends/family in Colombia end of next week. Fiance family is...

We are departing Sydney for Amsterdam, with transit in Singapore for 2.5 hours. Am I able to purchase duty free liquor in Sydney & carry through transit in Singapore or am I able to just buy it in Singapore (assuming I have time) Thank you.

I managed to get an economy reward flight from SYD to SIN via PER on a single booking reference. flying QF643 Sydney - Perth arrive in Perth 10:20am QANTAS have changed the flight time from Perth to Singapore and made it 1 hour earlier QF 71 PER-SIN depart 11:25am while 2 hours layover seemed...

Hi Guys, I will be transiting India twice on my trip around the world. First is an overnight stopover (8 hours) the second is about 16 hours. We don't mind staying in the airport / hotel but have read (qantas website) that we have to clear immigration to recheck our bags in... meaning we will...

We are hoping to fly PE with JAL from SYD to LHR via Haneda in the next couple of months. As there is an 18 hour layover we are wondering if the T2 terminal transit hotel will be open. If not, what are the alternatives?

Hey all I recently booked a trip for my partner as I on BNE-PER return June 23rd to July 3rd, using the recent 30% discount on reward seats. As i've only flown on Business once before, i wanted to treat us both with a Business reward seat going over and normal economy back. As normal, which i...

Hi all, I'm about to book a multi city trip that starts with Melbourne > Frankfurt via Colombo. Last week it showed me this as one flight with 2 legs. For example: Flight 1: MEL > CMB Economy classic reward, 90 min layover, CMB > FRA Business classic reward. (both flights with Sri Lankan...

Hi guys, I am struggling to find the better transit flights to use my points with and am worried I won't have used it all up before they expire next year. I am wondering if I should bite the bullet and book flights that have 7hr transit times. I know it's a lot and I have done 5 hr transits in...

I received an invitation from QF to a long wait on the phone, in the form of an involuntary change to my flight LHR-MAN. Instead of moving our connection back when BA cancelled flights, they have moved it forward. QF 1 is scheduled to arrive at 6:35am, and the BA flight departs at 6:45. Their...

Has anyone tried a QF to HA (same ticket) transfer? It seems this is possible if booked through a travel agent (or expedia), as both airlines have signed up to through check and baggage connectivity. I would be flying to LAS and the idea of skipping LAX to get there is appealing, and the 5-6...

Hi Folks, Next month I'm doing my first overseas travel since 2019, a quick trip to Bali on QF, partly to familiarise myself with the current Covid procedures. I'll be going OOL to MEL, then 3 hours in transit before the flight to DPS. My question is at what point will Qantas do the Covid...
