    RTW Revenue Tickets

    Did you book this yourself or through a TA? We havent done this in years. If we did book, can I go onto the oneworld explorer site and choose my "preferred airline" to get AA? We had a good TA then, but she has gone. The one I spoke to last week didnt know that starting in different countries...

    What does Fiji air offer QFF?

    Hi We are thinking about flying Fiji air as QFF. I knew they had a link with Qantas and we can use the lounge as WP. Are there any other benefits like seat selection or luggage?

    Oneworld Explorer ticketing

    Oh fonts of wisdom, may I ask a follow up. when you book xONEx with JL, can you still choose which airline to credit SC to. I am assuming you can. Years ago, we did a family RTW, then later a couples J RTW. I am having trouble remembering all the rules, but we had a blast. AFF was just as...

    Oneworld Explorer ticketing

    Hi, we are thinking about a Oneworld Explorer J ticket in 2024. I think I recall that it was cheaper to buy and start in certain countries. I can t seem to find any current information on this. Does anyone have any tips.

    Has anyone used booking.com for flights?

    Thanks everyone I had never seen booking.com selling flights before and I was in the community comments. I have booked direct with TK for all the reasons above. I don’t want to turn up and find my flight changed and then have to deal with a OTA chatbot. I do mix booking accommodation with them...

    First trip in SQ J

    On a final note, I left AKL Wednesday and arrived home on Saturday. When I checked my emails after getting home, I saw this from the Singapore Government approving my stay in Singapore after I had completed my stay. Proving that governments around the world are full of red tape that is...

    First trip in SQ J

    We arrived on time into Singapore. I left the plane and at the gate entrance double checked. Phone, wallet, passport. Oh dear, the passport was still in the handy seatside container. I told the SG gate agent, had to wait for 5 min and was then escorted back onto the aircraft to collect my...

    First trip in SQ J

    The amenity kit was weird. They brought the kit, then came back and asked if I wanted slippers and socks. No mention of ear plugs. They had toothbrushes and razors in the bathroom. I grabbed a toothbrush early and noted there were none left 1 hour before arrival

    First trip in SQ J

    Our unit got a last minute invitation to a meeting in Singapore. There had been discussions for a month about attending, but we ended up with 7 days notice. This meant only 2 of us could attend, and the flights were not cheap. It also meant I had no time to discuss alternate ( QF ) flights, so I...

    Qatar Gold vs Velocity Platinum. Which to use?

    Why are things made so complicated? I now it comes down to money, but there seems little concern over goodwill. Perhaps it is that we are in an echo-chamber and think flying and the experience of the journey is important. In the alternate universe, many people dont have status. But there are...

    Will Qantas have a March 2023 double status credit promotion?

    Hi prognosticators, Any thoughts about QF doing a Feb 2023 double SC promotion? Do they want to generate more sales or are they content with the current loads? If they do bring the DSC back, is it on any QF booking, regardless of metal flown? Could you fly EK or get a RWT ticket?
