Just curious - how are you going for food etc? I'm guessing you might be in a hotel? Can you go out during the day and buy anything more than a baguette or is everyone shuttered up all day? Alan

I do know there is a QANTAS office in Noumea which was open when we were there last October, and there is also the Australian High Commission.

If the airport is closed, and you are booked with qantas, what will they do - arrange a canoe home? and would that be before or after your refund lol. Toowongman, the best of luck in resolving your challenge - you might be in for an extended holiday.

I just curious here. Does travel insurance cover the extra night accommodation or is rioting etc an exclusion clause??? We are booked there in October and if this occurred while we were there, I'd just hunker down and carry on with the holiday - read a good book and enjoy the sunshine and...

There is a vote today or tomorrow in parliament I believe, which is what has bought all this on. We are booked there in October for our 3rd trip, and no plans at this time to change anything. When we were there late last year, we talked a lot about "french rule" and everyone, and I mean...

feel free to merge - I did a search but didn't see it.

Not going into the pros and cons of the politics, but I'm hearing Air Calin have stopped services for 2 days and the airport is closed due to political unrest on the island. We are booked over there in October, so not fussed at present. I believe there is a vote in parliament today or tomorrow...

Thank you both for your ideas - I was working on some options last night when I was told "it would be lovely to go back to Singapore for my birthday"!!!! Seems it has made the whole birthday thing a whole lot simpler. We both love Singapore and the food, and it's where we had our honeymoon, so...

The flygirl has a birthday in August, and as she has never been to Japan, I'm trying to figure out the flights to get from ADL to KIX. The plan is to visit Osaka and Kyoto, but we need to slip down to Wakayama for 2 days (to keep the tax man happy!!!!!) I want to use QF as we have bags of points...

I have 2 staff in Bali who have advised their flight home (Sun nite) has been delayed by 24 hours. They are/were on JQ128, and they were expected back at work tomorrow! re rostering staff now to cover their absence for a day! EDIT - just heard JQ put both staff and partners up in a hotel for...

QF 92 NOU to SYD is about 90 mins late due to aircraft late leaving SYD. I did some numbers this morning and we have done 29 flights on QF in Y, Y+ and J since the end of covid to USA, Europe, SE Asia and Pacific, and this is only the second delay we have had in all that time. The previous one...

There are a couple of options on the QF website for suites with lounge access - guess its a matter of deciding on the lounge, if I book with QF, or hilton points if I book direct. The prices are about the same either way.

Thank you

I'm new to the Hilton Honors program but am enjoying building up the points. I have 2 questions. 1. Does membership of Honors automatically entitle me to the "Executive Lounge"? 2. If I book on the QF website for a Hilton stay, does that earn Honours points, or do I need to book direct on the...

So here is a new one for me. My wife and I are booked to Noumea and back in November this year. When I booked, I put in for J upgrades on all sectors. Last night, my J upgrade (on points) came through for the SYD-ADL sector. Maybe it is normal for others, but its the first time I've had an...

Here is the screen at LAX now.

I think I forgot my coffee this morning. Dumb question. Thanks.

Maybe a dumb question, but can you carry toothpaste, in a tube, as carry on? Currently in Los Angeles, and looking at re-arranging what I carry on to the aircraft. We transit through Melbourne on the way home. Alan

Thanks to madrooster. I'll put this to bed now and go back to enjoying our time in LA.
