So do we. My point is Qantas are offering this "advice" on their site and I am sure it is catching some people out.

I was wandering through our booking to the Philippines on QF and went on to their travel advice page. There is a page which gives advice on VISA requirements and I had a look. According to QF ( via 3rd party VISALINK) we need visas to visit the Philippines. One issue is the questions you are...

paid upgrades tend to get you a better seat but no extra points / sc from original booking

Even when they do earn points and SC, there can be huge differences between earning rates. For example from AKL-LHR. On QR J (AKL-DOH-LHR)it seems to be 12400 points and 140SC. QF disc business (AKL-SYD-SIN-LHR) is 4360 points and 360SC. QR have the Q suites and better champers, QF have the...

The express cards are of little value in Sydney for immigration if you use the smartgates. But there was a much bigger queue for customs without the express card. LHR with the new smartgate is just as quick without using express card.

There were still big express signs at customs this week. Not sure if you needed express card to use

Transtasman yesterday from AKL. Priority boarding called the completely ignored. I let a young couple with baby into the queue in front of me as Qantas were not looking out for them. Greeted by csm but no offers. And no express entry offered. Some empty seats down the back but not next to me. So...

I have very rarely had a shadow seat on a transtasman flight. Even flying with Mrs, someone ends up next to us. That is a bit annoying when the back of the plane has empty seats. I did get a beaker of champagne for a colleague one flight who was sitting a few rows behind me. The look on her face...

In the past, arriving at one airport and departing from another counted as one segment. Ie Barcelona-Miami may count as 1 sector. It was even a rule for the same city, ie Landing at Heathrow with a stopover and then departing London City. Not sure if this is still the case?

After 3 flights, who can tell what the time is?

Are the QF segments part of Lufthansa RWT? ( codeshare?)Do they then go to your star alliance account .

Hello all We are looking to be in Philadelphia around May-June 2020. With all the changes from QF and AA, does anyone think there are still status runs worth doing in US and any ideas from Philly? Thanks

When we were there there was a large number of immigration entry gates for Chinese and 2 gates open for foreign travelers. So there was a bit of delay getting into China ( think a bit longer than LAX). Then getting back into the departure area through security was an open scrum, no lines, just a...

A great trip report, We missed each other by a few days in some places, but your suggestions for Oslo were much appreciated.

Great report We have been in Denmark and just now Norway so it was great to see your report a few cities away and use your tips in Bergen

Then there was the Lufthansa man in first class

Interesting that we have all picked on on printing info out. Digital devices are great, really great, but I keep telling our kid and younger colleagues to carry paper and I sometimes feel old. Until the come back with stories of 60min spent arguing at the desk about a booking/ flight/luggage...

It looks like you’re going to have an amazing trip. The drive from Banf to Jasper is amazing. As mentioned look for groups of parked cars, they will have stopped to look at bears and probably bear cubs. The drive from Jasper to Kamloops is wilderness. No phone reception and very few towns. Full...
