Hi all So with the freedom to plan we are looking to get to Buenos Aires in September. Departing from AKL and on the QF website we can go AKL-SCL QF3877 SCL-EZE LA477 ( or maybe go to AES) Once in BA, we are thinking about a bit more flying. If we book through the Qantas website are the LA...

The regulations and uncertainty are making us cautious. We are looking at South America, so no issues with Ukraine.

I miss the old travel. I am not match fit and the rules are now as complex as the rugby breakdown laws. Used to be, Taxi to airport, flash the passport, go to lounge, get on plane, arrive, smile and get on with it. Now its read volume 33, amended 11/4/22. If a passenger is to board, the...

Thanks for update. I must have been confused about the old trans-Tasman flights. We used to be able to select row 4 then and I cant remember the last time we flew domestic in 737 Y.

We are looking forward to finally getting to Aus from AKL. Tickets booked, but when I try for seat selection there are some seats I used to be able select but are currently blocked. examples are QF741 SYD-ADL in 737 shows row 4 and 5 blocked. QF 145 SYD-AKL in 330 shows rows 23 and 24 blocked...

Thursday 31 Mrs K spent 65 min on hold before hangng up. Fri I spent 50 min on hold before needing to hang up Tried again this morning at 7.30 NZT. Waited 40 min but got through to a wonderfully professional human. Our issue almost sorted, but the wait is not acceptable

A great TR. I’m pleased it went so well

Noooooo

There is a small loophole. Ocean kayaks. If a flotilla of AFF left from Hobart, it would take a few weeks, so you should be exempt quarantine.

Travel now appears to be so confusing. And changing requirements can be implemented so quickly. If I flew SYD-LAX direct, it seems I need a negative covid test within 24hr of flying. What happens with transit? Is there a difference between a 3 hour transit stop and a 20 hour transit. Would you...

Found these, old Qantas playing cards. Still in working order, no battery charge required

What is the vapor trial here from? Christchurch, covid bubble pop. Was it a secret Chinese low flying satellite. Agree with you about hesitancy and extra expense with pre-departure tests. Friends in Cairns could get the test, but as the sample had to be sent to Brisbane it took a day to process...

We wish we had a private jet for PM and visiting dignitaries. We have been looking at this as a do-up. Lick of paint, new wings, engines and seats, couple of tyres. Should take a few of the lads a week or so to fix her up. We expect to see it up and running soon, fueled with cow methane. ( we...

great thread These live in my wallet. First family trip to NY and a ski "licence" for the tree runs in Japan. I am allowed to keep them as they dont clutter up the house

There goes the international holiday, again. We had booked AKL-MEL-CNS, then CNS-SYD and finally SYD-AKL, home by 15 Sept Interesting that last night Mrs KT got email saying QF had made a change to itinerary, but I have had nothing. We both looked at the change online and we were advised the...

I am sure all call centers everywhere have a special code message for their service stating "we are encountering unexpectedly high call volumes at the moment". Try phoning the council, hospital, banks, any govt dept, any garden or home improvement shop on the weekend, etc. And it is always...

From 11.59pm on Sunday night, quarantine-free travel will resume with South Australia, the Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania and Victoria. This decision was made “in principle” based on the current Covid-19 situations in those particular states. The travel pause will continue with New...

Testing people before flights is problematic. There was anecdotal evidence that several people came into NZ with a negative lab report while being symptomatic for covid and then testing positive here. Three possible explanations were that they were tested in an accredited lab and had a false...

It would be embarrassing if they had visited any ladies of negotiable charm during the weekend
