This is probably a trivial question, but I wonder what is available for those stranded in hotels and resorts? There's a 6pm-6am curfew and a ban on alcohol sales. Can hotel and resort guests still manage to get dinner after 6pm in their hotel restaurants? And if so can they order eg some wine...

NOU airport is now closed until Tuesday 21st May.

I have now, sadly, cancelled my upcoming trip to Noumea. I took the Qantas flight credit option. The Qantas Call Centre confirmed there will be no fees when redeeming it. The same PNR is used. It would have been my third trip to Noumea in recent years. I really like New Caledonia and...

And now the 18th as well. :(

Is that for the Double Status Credits, the same PNR or both?

No. But it will affect me too. There is of course Original Routing Credit for forced changes. And if you rebooked to all QF flights, there shouldn't be an issue. I'm not sure if you took a flight credit and then used it for all new QF flights, if it would apply. Does it stay the...

For those wondering what the Qantas "options" currently are. At least for pax in my situation with an upcoming trip before 31st May: 1. A free move to the next Qantas operating flight. I *think* you could also move to any future date. 2. A free move to an Air Calin flight within 14 days of...

And it seems they now are: "New Caledonia: Noumea airport closure Noumea Airport is currently closed due to civil unrest, which is impacting all airlines. Options are available to Qantas customers who are impacted and hold tickets issued on or before 14 May 2024, for travel until the end...

The latest DFAT advice includes: " We've also increased the level of advice for the Noumea metropolitan area and now advise reconsider your need to travel due to civil unrest, travel disruptions and limited essential services. ... A state of emergency is in place in New Caledonia. A curfew is...

Air Calin have already cancelled flights for tomorrow (17th). :( So I wouldn't get my hopes too high.

Seems a State of Emergency has now been declared by the Government for the next 12 days. :( That's the one near the Hilton? It usually opens at dawn I think.

I should point out that New Caledonia is not considered to be metropolitan France. So quite many EU things don't apply. And, I have a trip booked there within the next 2 weeks! :eek:

Yes they do. And they should give you a priority card for security clearance as well. They sometimes forget - so ask if they don't!

POX - the same pseudo ABC "commercials" that are repeated over and over and over and over again. And over again. Fair enough that the national broadcaster promotes its own offerings. But a bit less of the same stuff might be nice. Yes, I know there's an ABC Listen thing. I now know...

There are several countries within the EU that have not adopted the Euro. And membership of the EU and of Schengen is not mutual either. Switzerland is an example. Not a member of the EU and not using the Euro but a member of Schengen. Sweden is an example. A member of the EU and of...

Hvr, must you pile it on ??

A comment I read in the Melbourne Age's Good Food Guide: Why don't we review breakfasts? The reason is that breakfast at restaurants and at hotels is more-or-less the same standard stuff. It doesn't make it bad. But it makes it ordinary. Repetitive. Same, same. It's the day after your...

My guess is that: 1. MEL is the second busiest airport in Australia and 2. It's much better than SYD, the busiest. Those two would be enough for it to win most surveys.

Well yes, unless your check-in luggage can be through checked and you can use a transit counter for any new boarding pass. MNL seemed to me to be like a typical international airport. Just not a very great one!

All I can say is that I did NOT have to do that in T1 (HLO). This was just a few months ago.
