Thanks RooFlyer, that's already very useful. Will be interested to hear how you go there this month. Cheers

Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience going through the new Istanbul airport. I've been reading some online reviews and they are not very positive to say the least. My sister and I will be finishing a cruise in Istanbul in June 2024, then flying out from the new airport on...

Thanks jpp42, you're spot on. There was plenty more I could have said about how the delay/cancellation was handled, however my focus here was on what happened once that had happened.

Hi All, Given the deserved shellacking Jetstar have been getting for some time now, I thought it only fair to report a pretty positive experience I had this month. But first the negative part. Coming back from a trip to Bali, my DPS-MEL flight was due to leave at 12:45. Long story short, there...

I've been watching for a reward seat to Europe (final destination is Barcelona), just managed to nab SYD-LHR via TPE in J on 30 May 2024. All worked smoothly on QF website. I'm going to see if I can get something more direct to BCN, hopefully on Qatar using my BA points when they become bookable...

For the last few days the multi-city search for international award seats wouldn't work - just got a blank page - when using my MacBook. This morning still happening, tried restarting the laptop but no change. Then I tried using my iPad instead and it worked fine. Technology...

Thanks everyone, that is heaps of useful information. Fortunately I won't be in any hurry when I land, some friends are giving me their apartment near Times Square to stay in while they're away. I've deliberately not scheduled anything for the next day in case it's a horror late arrival and I...

In July I'll be arriving into JFK, flying in J with JAL from Tokyo. I've never entered the US at JFK, just wondering if anyone has any intel on what to expect or any tips to make the experience better. Plane is due to land at 18:30 on a Wednesday. Thanks

Hi, My sister and I will be spending a couple of days in New Delhi next February after a cruise. One day we will go to Agra, for the other we'd like to do a private tour covering the main tourist sites in Delhi. We'd prefer something already organised where we get transported around with a...

Am currently Platinum for the first time (thank you Covid double SC passes :) ), so tried requesting release of two award seats from Delhi to MEL next February. Went in with low expectations, but pleasantly surprised that one got approved. The Aussie-based agent was also surprised, she said that...

I flew QF MEL-OOL last week and they did board the priority queue first, including having the (long) regular queue wait until the priority one was cleared using the two scanning points. First time I had seen it done that way i.e. properly. Hopefully it'll become a regular thing.

Thanks for all of the replies, lots of helpful information there :)

Hi Brains Trust, In July my sister is landing in Brisbane from an overnight flight from Doha. She will overnight at one of the airport hotels before heading down to the Gold Coast the next morning on the train from the airport. I've looked at the three closest options (Ibis, Pullman, Novotel)...

It had been a few weeks since I sent my second email so two days ago I called QF. Not sure which call centre I got (I'm currently Platinum so got through quickly) but the person I spoke to was very helpful. She could see my two emails with all of the attachments showing details of my BA flight...

When flying with LCCs in Europe I always look for higher level economy fares with inclusions I value. Obviously they cost more but for me it can be well worth it for overall value for money. The inclusions I look for are checked baggage, priority check-in, seat selection/extra legroom seats and...

I think after 8 weeks you'd be justified in emailing them.

Update - this morning I emailed the Qantas FF team about my other missing points claim that had been sitting in the system for over a month, including with the email copies of my BA reservation, boarding pass and a screenshot of my BA FF account showing no activity. A few hours later got an...

I also have my BA boarding pass in my Apple Wallet, if you hit the barcode it opens up and shows more detail, including which FF program the flight was meant to credit to. I sent QF a screenshot of that, as well as the first page of the boarding pass.

Similar here from a BA flight in Europe last month. I did the missing points claim online, after only about a week got a response saying unsuccessful as already credited to Qantas or other airline FF account. Checked my QF and BA accounts - nada. Rang the service centre, guy was helpful as far...

Cheers :)
