    First trip to Europe November - December 2023

    Try Airbnb sometimes you find decent 2 bedder in or next to central at <A$400/night. E.g. something like this: Perfect Location Central London 2-bed Flat - Apartments for Rent in Greater London, England, United Kingdom

    First trip to Europe November - December 2023

    My random thoughts: 1. Agree Naples is a bit meh. Would recommend Herculaneum as an alternative to Pompeii - it's a smaller site, but very well preserved (incredible detail on frescoes/mosaic) such that you can walk through the old Roman town within a half day. 2. Be mindful moving around every...

    Flight Centre vs QF WP experience

    Hi all, my work mandates booking international trips via Flight Centre and as the agent is not the most proactive in identifying best routing (vs cost, timing, etc.), I'd typically resort to planning my own RTW itinerary via Qantas website/phone, which the FC agent will subsequently replicate...

    OWE booking basic economy

    QF WP here and while I wasn't able to manually select MCE via the AA app, they were able to do it for me on the phone. There's a chance on both separate calls, they incorrectly assumed QF OWE had similar access to MCE as other published OWE

    OWE booking basic economy

    Flew two domestic AA flights in Nov and was pre-assigned MCE for free via the AA hotline (I think they transferred me to a separate OW team after confirming WP/OWE?). Pretty seamless, did this twice separately for both flights, so may be a fluke. Separately, Southwest's organised chaos of a...

    Oops ... arriving in the US on Thanksgiving weekend

    Ahh I had wondered why flights/accom were particularly expensive that week. If it's any consolation, I get into Houston on the 24th (henceforth known to me as Thanksgiving Thursday), leave to Austin on the weekend, and fly home via LAX a few days after. D'oh!

    Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

    Oops sorry that should have read 3 Nov, not 7 Nov. Qantas website doesn't show QF11 on 3 Nov in any class. I have a ticketed rev fare tho, but maybe the flight's full 2.5 months out?

    Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

    Hi all, can someone help me check loadings on QF11 SYD-LAX on 7 Nov? Can't see any fare availabilities across any class on Qantas website - or is it fully sold out? Have a rev fare booked and submitted points upgrade but not optimistic. Thanks !

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Brain trust, what's the go with requesting Y seats for internal USA flights? Looking at multiple city combos (e.g. LAX>JFK) for later in Nov and can only see Y award seats with 1 stops, although AA website show plenty of paid direct flights. Thanks

    Malaysia Airlines lounges

    If it's the evening MH flight, Qantas lounge will be closed by then and instead you'll be directed to the very average Marhaba lounge

    Who's on the A380 Syd to LA in the next few days ?

    Looking forward to your review! Have never been on F, so am contemplating if SYD-LAX is worth the J>F upgrade for 61k points

    Qantas First Lounge in Singapore

    Off topic, but Qatar's lounge opened last week. Was the only guest there from 730-830pm last night prior to my QF82 flight. Excellent attentive service, love the decor, and love the a la carte menu with a coughtail bar (https://www.qatarairways.com/content/dam/hia/pdf/qr-singapore-lounge-en.pdf)...
