    Possible lounge overcrowding remedy

    Where are lounges overcrowded? The only ones I am aware of are Perth domestic and Singapore. By the sounds of it Perth is being expanded. For Singapore once the construction and LHR flights going via Dubai will see things change. Of course some lounge get crowded during disruptions but that is...

    Fears of ruined Christmas plans as Jetstar scraps flight

    I believe the cancelled flight was JQ215 on the 21/12, it is the red eye that departs at 11:55pm. The flight appears as normal scheduled for the Friday before and the Friday after, but is missing from the schedule for that date. That should have been an A320.

    "Outrage over fake Jetstar Facebook page" - News Ltd

    Some were funny. But i really think that telling someone their flight was cancelled crossed the line.

    P1 benefit - Les Misérables advance screening

    I got that offer too for the 13th Dec. Quite impressive to get a screening two weeks before world wide release. And I actually might be in Brisbane that day.

    Interpreting ExpertFlyer seat maps

    The first thing that sprung to mind was bassinet seat. But for 23K that would only be for an international layout A330-200. And I would have expected J and K to both be blocked. And if it is shown as a exit row seat then it can't be an international A330-200. In my experience as a P1 the only...

    1.5 hr layover

    You have to disembark at BNE so the plane can be cleaned, but I believe you are able to leave carry on bags on board. You'll be be able to go to the Qantas lounge provided you have access to it via class of travel or status.

    Fears of ruined Christmas plans as Jetstar scraps flight

    Honestly I very much doubt the "about 80 passengers" part. Transtasman flights just before Christmas are in very high demand. Across all the carriers only the most expensive fare classes are left. Even though it was the red eye flight if Jetstar can't sell out a flight in at this time of year...

    There is only one taxi/limo company that operate from KLIA Airport Limo (M) Sdn Bhd - KLIA Airport Transfer Generally they have bigger cars and much better service than the taxis you get in the city. They do over a range of different vehicles, from budget to luxury. I have taken them all never...

    Docomo - Is it just bad in ADL?

    What exactly is the issue you are experiencing? Why do you find it the worst system? Docomo Intertouch is just a system for proving pay-per-view movies and pay internet to Hotel room. It is the bit where you select what plan you want and how much you want to pay. It does things like traffic...

    Jetstar Business on points.

    Are you looking at a Jetstar flight number or a Qantas QF codeshare on a Jetstar flight? There was a recent report on flyertalk from someone on a business class Qantas codeshare getting access to the Qantas Club in Tokyo ok.

    OOL QP when in International Terminal

    In addition to what others have said. The Jetstar lounge was in the domestic part after security. From what I recall all international passengers have to pass through domestic security anyway. But the lounge was before international security and outbound immigration. Assuming that the Qantas...

    Best and cheapest way to earn 40SC on Qantas

    From Sydney if you flew to NZ, Cairns, Perth or Alice Springs you would earn 20 SCs each way in discount economy. Just lookout for a sale fare to one of these places. Should be able to get them for under $200 each way. Pick somewhere you haven't been before and turn it into a weekend getaway...

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    Based on last year they should be switching to the summer menu in about two weeks. So maybe the Rose will be back then.

    ITA Matrix - Can't find anywhere to book the flights.

    You might have come across one of those point of sale quirks. Where the airline will make seats available for in a fare class for one market, but not make them available in another market. Try a foreign travel site like expedia to see if you can get the cheaper fare through them.

    Which seats on MH new 333

    There is really not a whole lot in it. On the new A330-300 the seats are largely the same. Row 1 has a bit more leg a room and being the furthest forward is generally the quietest. Websites that serfty mentioned only have the old regional config A330-300 seat maps. I would recommend looking at...

    Woo hoo,finally an A380 for Perth

    Currently Perth airport has an ICAO fire and crash rating of category 9. This is fine for anything up to a 747, to have a regular A380 services you need to be category 10. Category 9 is fine for the odd diversion, but for regular services you need a 10. Currently MEL and SYD are the only...

    VH-EBV layout?

    The Qantas source has it as a 2-3-2 layout with the middle seat blocked. The same as the next two newest A330-200s VH-EBO and VH-EPB. QANTAS Airbus A330-200 42J/268Y Seat Map But I wonder if that is a guess or based on inside knowledge.

    Air New Zealand 744 ["Near"] hit by lightning in BNE

    re: Air New Zealand 744 ["Near"] hit by lightning in BNE Unusual for a Air NZ 747 to be in Brisbane. Looks like it was a stand in for the usual 777. Did it actually hit the plane? Looks like it might have hit behind it.

    Confused regarding Malaysia airlines checked baggage allowance.

    Yep they do offer 30kg on some economy tickets, it is a bit selective. I guess it is to counteract Emirates. I also understand they give a 30kg for some student tickets that is some what of a special case.

    Australian-born UK citizen. Wife has employment

    I do know some countries have partner/spouse Visas. For example a foreigner (not NZ) married to an Australian (or NZer) they would normally need a partner visa to stay in Australia. I would guess the Netherlands would have something similar. Although in the OPs case I would expect the...
