Oops it's SYD to SCL.

Thanks so much:)

I'd be very thankful for someone checking Expertflyer: QF27 on 8 May 2025 for business class seat availability. Deciding whether to classic upgrade or bid upgrade (low amount)? I figure if there are enough business class seats, I may get lucky:)

Make sure you stop at petrol stations only or recognised cafes, shops, accommodation for your safety. These were the warnings we were given. We've driven up the east coast, Jo'burg to Kruger NP as well as north east of South Africa to Pilanesberg. No problems but it was a while ago.

We'll be going to South America on a tour for 20 days and then add on 3 nights in the Amazons - Peru. After that, fly to Cusco for a few extra nights. Then fly back to Santiago the day before leaving for Sydney. Can we rely on the Latam flights not to be changed/cancelled? Otherwise we may have...

Wow the station is amazing. So beautiful.

The first experience of my Arctic adventures was with cruise company Hurtigruten - check out their 'Follow the Northern Lights' itinerary. It's showing currently at AUD$9085 pp. It starts in Norway and ends in Finland - which is where you will see these magic places, including a visit to Santa's...

Yes we've experienced the glass igloos as well - in winter. We were also invited to see inside the ice hotel next door before the guests arrived. Incredible iceworks. Not sure I would sleep in there though. Agree it's just an incredible experience wherever you are up there. I also loved the JAL...

We have been to the Lappish Arctic for the last 4 years. Saariselka also has similar offerings as Levi. It's an amazing place. Uniqlo (Japanese department store around Australia) has everything you would need for clothing. The snow gear shops would also be able to help you. Wearing layers...

@AIRwin thanks for heads up. I meant that the inflight entertainment doesn't show how to use their J seat and the associated buttons, storage, lie down bed mechanism etc. Think I have seen 'how to use J seats' on a Qantas flight vid. It was helpful when I had never travelled J before. Good to...

Thanks for these vids. Funny how they show where your devices go but when it comes to the lady's handbag it transitions to something else. I have to put it into the footwell. Sleeping time - bed made and looking good - lady sits down into position to read, adjust lighting and read sitting up...

I really dislike the J seat on Finnair. Travelled Sin-Hel return. Curling your legs up in their pod, is not an option. Esp if you are older and can't fold your legs easily. There's nowhere to recline and your feet either stay on the ground or you put that piece in place to stretch your legs or...

The ongoing announcements are annoying and makes you switch off. And often hard to decipher. Getting up every now and then to check the departure board is a bit of a mini exercise. I don't mind this, esp if going on a long haul flight. An app reminder would also work for me. When in Dubai...

If it's any help, there's someone that has researched all the house swap websites and put together a comprehensive list/spreadsheet of pros/cons etc using any of them. That website is: sharetraveler.com Another suggestion was to try a house swap in your country first to see how it works and...

Hi all, I'm a newbie to this new website and have been following the AFF training courses very slowly. Lots to learn. Due to travel shortly so will come to a halt and likely forget everything:) Having trouble posting - do I need to make up a new heading to introduce myself? It keeps sending me...
