I'm going to Japan in early April for two weeks for a friend's wedding. I've been to Japan a couple of times before over the years, but never experienced cherry blossom! I'm travelling from Osaka to Matsumoto (wedding location) and then on to Tokyo. I'm keen to maximise my Sakura viewing but...

Thanks somebody! 100 points woopee

Looking for a friend ☺️ WHSBB

Does Qantas Hotels have a general sale? Or do you have to keep checking individual hotels? Going to Canberra soon and QH prices not very competitive 😟

Looks like it's much more expensive to achieve this year! I will be glued to this thread as I missed out on the donate voucher 😟. I only need 2 more leaves by April. Donate and sustainable living/hotels. Offset home and car now $50 minimum! Sustainable hotels all quite expensive as well. I might...

Used mine extensively through Italy earlier this year and had zero problems.

I traveled to Sicily earlier this year as part of a trip to southern Italy. Used train and bus which was easy but a car would give more options. Visited Palermo, Ortigia (Siracusa) and Taormina. Enjoyed them all. Not sure why some don't like Palermo. It's a bit gritty but so much to see, and the...

I was looking for an inexpensive pinot noir and found this Buy Mystery 94 Point Delicious Pinot Noir | Qantas Wine which I take to be Rosenthal Marker Pinot Noir, currently also on points sale, or, $450 doz. I had a 10% off voucher and free shipping, so hoping its at least pleasant :) Any...

I used to do a bit of dressmaking once upon a time. I had a garment carefully pinned together which somehow ended up in my carry on 😣. They let me keep the garment, but I had to remove every single pin! Imagine terrorising flight staff with a dressmaking pin 🤔

Thanks Phillip0811 for an easy and helpful swap :)

OK. I have sent you a message. Have you checked your private mail? It would be better to exchange voucher codes privately.

I have a $50 hotel voucher I'd like to swap for the wine voucher if you're interested!

Well I agree 12pm was confusing for me, and given that it was an expensive flight and a major inconvenience, I think they could have made it clearer. Why not use 24 hour time?

You haven't lived until... 1. Your driver on the Istanbul to Vienna bus stops in the middle of nowhere and says he's not going any further 2. Your taxi driver in Athens takes the 'scenic' route back to your hotel 3. The airline passenger beside you says 'Would you like my First Class upgrade? I...

After years of travelling I made the ultimate mistake... I mistook my flight departure time and missed my Rome to Singapore flight with Singapore Airlines :( The flight time was listed as 12pm, I thought midnight. I think 1200 might have been clearer, I always get 12am/pm mixed up. Contacted SA...

My vintage Tumi carry-on trolley case. British racing green ballistic nylon, leather handles and leather name tag holder. Incredibly solid and well built. They don't build them like that anymore.

I have been going through email. They are proving very intransigent and unhelpful. What are the odds that they would not honour either reserved seat on 2 separate flights? No change of plane. Different seat numbers. Reserved seat on first flight occupied by someone else. 'Operational reasons'...

Turns out they have booted me out of my reserved seat for my return flight as well 🤯 Operational reasons AGAIN! They have found a seat that is not next to the toilets this time but not as good as my original. Their thinking seems to be that if I accept this new seat they shouldn't have to refund...

I recently had a similar experience with Singapore Airlines. Paid to select my seat 10 months before flight. Print my boarding pass and discover I've been moved to adjacent to toilets ☹️. 'Operational reasons' but plane was same and some 20 something in my seat. Now having to jump through hoops...

Thanks for the reply. Yes I was overreacting I think. It was the lack of history plus the poster who said the flight was often cancelled. You're correct it's a new schedule and the first few flights in April only have a small number of seats left so I think I'll be fine. False alarm!
