Sorry, but yes. TSA allows empty bottles. Jetstar website also suggests bringing empty bottles onto a plane.

No mention. Why did UK start the no empty bottles, then allowed them? I never have had any trouble taking empty bottles to Australia from NZ.

Remember they have to abide by American rules for international. Blame the TSA. Powders may also be restricted.

At WLG INT there is a bin, just before the conveyor, into which you can dispose of liquids. And WLG INT does not have secondary screening when departing for Australia.

Doesn't it stick out? 1.5 l is a large quantity. Most back pockets would just about take the 250 ml water bottles you get on-board, Think of the large bottles of soft drink you get at the supermarket.

I remember a time when any bottle, empty or full, was not allowed through security in the UK. Now they allow empty bottles.

I had cheese, crackers and salami on one flight. It did me fine as I was going to a big meal later. It's those late night arrivals where most Australian food services close at 9 pm, excluding the junk food outlets. Late flight BNE-ADL on an Em190 with crackers and cheese does quite cut it. Look...

Has anyone tried it in International?

It's buried in the small print, not in the main listing.

I tried a couple of months ago and it worked but you have raised my doubts. I always seem to arrive on the last flight so the lounges are shutting down.

If you aspire to WP then I may imagine it may be worth it, even if flying J. Think of SYD INT J lounge vs F lounge. Not sure of the difference in the EK lounges in DXB. Have only been in F lounges there.

Well, Billings is not unknown in England and there were emigrants to the USA called Billings, and probably NZ, so all could be related.

Would he be related to Roy Billings, that other famous NZ actor

I once saw someone try and put a large suitcase through security scanners as if it was carry-on. They were invited to check it in.

You must have had some inkling of their identity, but then it begs the question why an adult would know the Wiggles? Children?

But not in CL? Perhaps that's why I don't see anyone famous. CL is a bridge too far for me. Though I am sure I say Billy Connolly in the SYD INT F lounge once. Thanks for identifying what they are famous for. I am sure the very first post on this thread did. Most helpful.

My recent experience last week. WLG (Int) Priority first SYD (Dom) Priority First TSV--free for all CNS Two queues both boarding together. BNE Priority first SYD (INT) Priority first. Turned away a J Pax as they tried to jump the priority queue through the non-priority lane. Was sent back...

I agree. I have seen J pax struggle to find space in an overhead locker on a 737, particulary as the lifeboat is now in that space.

Sorry if someone has raised this already. You would think that Qantas would encourage people to use their points as it is probably a financial liability on their balance sheet. Reducing that liability should be Qantas's aim. On my part I have mostly used Points + Pay because classic rewards...

QF417 today CNS-MEL. Two queues but started boarding at the same time. Is that is what is meant by priority boarding, separate queues? 1712716768 Yesterday free for all at TSV. No priority, but it was a Dash-8.
