    Air New Zealand Economy Skynest

    Thankyou! So it is. SO that's the maximum length of three Y seats? So if the Skynest bed is longer the point is still valid...it won't fit by simply replacing three east west seats. As suggested upthread.

    The cheaper fare may NOT allow stopovers enroute???

    Air New Zealand Economy Skynest

    Nope. Three economy seats in Skycouch config reportedly give you 49" A 4 ' 1" Flat bed would be pretty useless.. (and it wouldn't even be that long due to structure) I think its pretty clear why they are looking at a north/south V shaped pod... but it will take up more real estate than many...

    Which airline offers Upgrade Sydney to Honolulu...

    I believe FJ has their Bula Bid programme? You can get the A350 from SYD-NAN I think. Flights from NAN-HNL can be/are? however a narrowbody aircraft via APW or CXI. HA seem also to have a "bid up" offer for "eligible bookings". (Whatever that may be)

    Emotional Support animal on Flights

    If you knew anyone with PTSD or Clinical depression you wouldn't be so dismissive. Tell them to "Grow up"? Yes, that'll help..... I hope noone close to you ever suffers from any mental health issues... but then again..you could just tell them to "grow up". Right? MEL_traveller has the...

    Qantas and RSA in J International what is the Go?

    Im trying to work out how it can be attributed to laziness.... I would have though setting up a SELF service bar would be the lazy option?

    Would travel insurance generally cover cancelled OWA segments?

    Wouldn't that advice be contingent on getting TO the departure airport of the missed flight anyway, even if too late for the flight? Im unsure that one can just go ahead and "MOW" to the NEXT airport and expect to patch things up there. (Which seems to be what the OP was suggesting?)

    Qantas bus between Syd and Cbr

    I wonder how often though for someone arriving at SYD (from overseas at least)......the bus to Canberra would actually get them home equally quickly? I usually fly to/from the US with NZ... so on arrival at SYD I jump on the next Murrays bus to Canberra (flexible ticket so whichever bus I CAN...

    AirBNB - Share your experiences here

    Treat it better than my own place. (That's how I treat hotel rooms too...I must be weird - and I am in my 50's FWIW... )

    Qantas excess baggage USA

    I suspect there would have to be a SEAT purchased to be able to add baggage (I doubt a lap infant booking would enable it - but I'd call on that!)

    Booking double up - poor advice from Qantas costs [now sorted with refund promised]

    OR.. to be able to hold a fare for 24 hours. It is the airlines choice WHICH of those to offer. I couldn't name an airline off the top of my head offering the hold rather than the 24 hr cancel...but it is unwise to assume all airlines "have" to offer the 24 hr cancel.

    That will depend on the specific fare conditions of your ticket...

    PR MEL/SYD - LHR in J return $4999; one way $2999, plus Asia from $549 in Y return

    And to complete the circle. The check in and flight experience at BOTH ends was very good. We were travelling to the "2019 Australasian IPSC Match" ( a very large pistol shooting comp - over 900 competitors from around the world) . Staff at Sydney were friendly, helpful..AND (shock!) KNEW...

    And that is a good bit of advice that sometimes seems to be less well known!

    High peak season airfare ripoffs

    That seems relatively easy to explain..... non stop flights nearly always command a premium...(How much to fly one way AKL-LAX on the same day?) ….add in the fact its a one way AND the necessity to depart from a different COUNTRY to get the better pricing and Im sure other factors come into play...
