    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    That sounds really good. Can you give us an example?

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I don't even try to speak to the Qantas computer. I just click the option to say I don't have my PNR. Works wonders and saves a lot of unnecessary hassle.

    Qantas unveils the biggest changes to status in program history

    I imagine it wasn't self funded. Please forgive me if I'm wrong.

    Lack of middle name.

    They all can, but it's whether they will or not. You should assume not. For example my wife and her friend were travelling SYD-SIN on Scoot and her friend discovered that she had entered her maiden name instead of her current married name. So she asked the agent very nicely if they would change...

    Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

    At least that's one smart move VA has made (as opposed to some of its other moves).

    Middle East Airspace Diversions/Cancellations

    Yes indeed. Thankfully I have now received a full cash refund for my cancelled Etihad flights next week. It turned out to be a quick and seamless process in the end.

    Australian arrested for alleged assault on TSA officer

    More fool him for being there in the first place.

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    That's interesting, and perhaps a good start, but it won't make me rush to buy a cheap JQ fare to AVV.

    Best Australian debit card for overseas cash withdrawals?

    And lots of other places, like Taiwan and Turkey.

    Best Australian debit card for overseas cash withdrawals?

    Just go to a physical money changer. You can get some pretty good rates, depending on the location and the currency. I'm sorry, but I must have missed this. These are still conditions on my ING account. YMMV (but if so, please tell me how).

    Jetstar to Operate from T2 at Singapore from 2026

    Well Qantas have killed off any thoughts I might have had about flying JQ PE out of Australia. Scoot looks like a much better option now, if you have Priority Pass.

    Jetstar to Operate from T2 at Singapore from 2026

    Just do it. I would.

    No More International Lounge Access on Jetstar Flights (except QF codeshare/JQ business max)

    Am I missing something, but isn't JQ part of QF. Robbing Peter to pay Paul? Just an internal accounting transaction. What's more important is if JQ loses business because of the new rule. It would probably lose mine if I couldn't get lounge access on a 7+ hour flight out of SYD.

    Booking backup flights to Europe

    I'm looking at the reverse, backup flights FROM Europe. I have a trip booked to AMS in May on TK, so outbound should be OK. Unfortunately, the return is via DXB, so this probably won't happen. So I'm looking for alternatives from Europe in J or PE. The China Eastern flights via Xian are...

    Manila overnight transits

    I've just noticed that the title of this thread refers to "Manilla". I always thought that was a town in NSW, but maybe I was wrong.

    Looming Jet Fuel Shortages?

    In that case it's never going to end. There will have to be compromises on both sides. I have a couple of bookings through the ME for later this year, and I expect to get a refund in both cases. Worth noting though that EY seems to have removed the ability to request a refund. The other...

    Middle East Airspace Diversions/Cancellations

    I can see my trip to Europe in May being shot down too. Perhaps better to stick to SE Asia for now. Taiwan will have its own issues given what's going on in the ME (if you know what I mean).

    Looming Jet Fuel Shortages?

    Maybe. They might also be talking to their friends to the west. Mutually convenient.

    Scams like these

    They don't ned to. It's all stored in your phone. That's the weak link.
