    Credit vouchers converting to Travel Pass

    I'm getting close to six weeks since my flight that had double SCs attached via a Travel Pass but still no sign of them. What is the email address you wrote to about this? I'd also prefer an electronic record, and of course avoiding the likelihood of wasted time and effort on the phone. Thanks.

    UK Departure Tax to increase

    Sorry I should have said that the Vienna flight is a separate PNR, booked direct with BA.

    UK Departure Tax to increase

    I'm trying to work out if I'm affected by this. I'm flying in J on QF1/2 but not staying in the UK for longer than 24 hours in either direction. On arrival I'm flying to Barcelona with a 5 hour transit, and on departure I have an 8 hour transit after flying in from Vienna. The article seems to...

    Green Tier Bonus and Lifetime SCs

    I hit the Green Tier about six weeks ago and chose the 50 SCs. As expected my SC balance (for both this membership year and my lifetime balance) went up by 50, however there is nothing showing on my Activity Statement. Just curious if anyone else has found this?

    Domestic/International Transit: Covid Checks?

    Hi Folks, Next month I'm doing my first overseas travel since 2019, a quick trip to Bali on QF, partly to familiarise myself with the current Covid procedures. I'll be going OOL to MEL, then 3 hours in transit before the flight to DPS. My question is at what point will Qantas do the Covid...

    Somewhat optimistically I have three trips booked this year - Bali, Western Europe and the US.

    Travel Insurance which covers COVID-19?

    Yes, that's a perfect example. Being an ex-bureaucrat myself I can see this being the kind of nuance that gets problematic when someone is applying a strict rule.

    Travel Insurance which covers COVID-19?

    Sure, but we're talking about bureaucratic border policies/practices. Rational definitions may or may not apply 🤪

    Travel Insurance which covers COVID-19?

    Apologies if this has already been answered, I tried searching but couldn't find anything. My question is this - I keep seeing references to many countries requiring a minimum level of medical coverage. Like a lot of policies, the one I use includes unlimited medical coverage. Would that then...

    SYD-JFK?

    Hi, Very excited to see flight schedules starting up again. Wondering if anyone has heard any information about Qantas restarting their SYD-JFK route via LAX? I'm looking to do that one next year, at the moment when I search (August/September) the only options are QF to either LAX or DFW then...

    Travel Insurance which covers COVID-19?

    Thanks for these. I had a look at both of them, the cover for getting Covid is good but they specifically exclude cover for interruptions where a government enacts restrictions. Which is probably the bigger risk, so not very helpful :(

    Travel Insurance which covers COVID-19?

    Hi, I'm (very) cautiously hoping that international travel will start again next year. But there is one key thing I haven't seen mentioned in the talk about vaccination rates, international borders, quarantine options etc. That is will there be travel insurance available that covers...

    What’s your favourite souvenir?

    I have a collection of fridge magnets - small, inexpensive, easy to carry, not too fragile - and every time I go to the fridge I'm reminded of many of the places I've been lucky enough to go to :)

    JFK Transit times

    You also now have the option of the TWA Hotel, which is the only one inside the airport precinct (www.twahotel.com). Reviews on Trip Advisor are a bit mixed but seems to be a good option for a one night stay, particularly if you have any interest in aviation history/design.

    HKG Transit Ideas

We land at 17:20 and depart at 00:25. it's a day flight from Melbourne so we won't be needing to sleep. We're flying in on Qantas in J and out on...

    Advice on BA reservation, please

    With QF Gold or above you can call and do the seat selection when you have booked the flight. I did mine several months ahead at no charge.

    Advice on BA reservation, please

    Just note that while your status gets you advance seat selection for free, you can’t do this via their website. You need to call them, their operators can see your status (if you’ve included your QF number in the booking) and will do it for you.

    KUL Lounge? [SG/sapphire lounge options]

    Hi All, Next month I'm coming back from Europe and have an overnight stop at KUL (Sama Sama hotel). Just wondering what the lounge options are like for the morning departure. I leave at 0920 on Malaysian in J and am currently QF Gold. There seem to be multiple lounges at KUL, keen for any...
