JL flights do not appear on the QF app unless it is booked via QF or if one of the other airlines specified is also included in the same booking I think. I had SYD-HND flights booked directly with JAL which did not appear, but another booking (also booked through JAL) which included both JL and...

I got close a couple of years ago - 19 hours in the EK F lounge due to a schedule change and I did not trust the QF call centre to not mess up my reward booking.

Thanks for the TR, I'm always looking for new things to do in Japan so this is helpful!

There is actually a seat at 15C which is always blocked off (they put a notice on the seat to indicate this). I have no idea why they even have that seat there. The rest of row 15 would be the best pick, I could not select it on my recent flight as it was blocked for me (OWS) so I assume only...

That was interesting, got 20. Those letter/number pattern ones are impossible

Looked quite similar but now the old Hida trains have all been replaced by new trains since 2023. No more looking out of the driver's compartment out the front... New Hida train Standard car I did not get a good picture of the green car but it is also in a 2-2 config with extras such as...

3 arrivals on JL for me this year and been handed out arrival cards. I actually don't bother to fill in the online form now as it's more time consuming than filling in the physical card and doesn't even save any time at immigration.

Looks like the equipment has come in as de-planing in MEL yesterday was done through both the front and rear doors, so I assume boarding was the same. I liked the wireless charging which worked well for me but overall did not find the J seat very comfortable, prefer the 737 seat more.

Thanks for the reminder! I got a new passport recently so I could not apply for this earlier, might be too late for me to get approval for the next trip though if the timelines are similar to your application. I did not enter an arrival date for my upcoming trip in the application form so I can...

https://www.bitre.gov.au/publications/ongoing/international_airline_activity-monthly_publications Slow time for outbound travel, but from the published load factors, it looks like QF was at 83% capacity inbound from the US in January, which is peak season for inbound travel. This is the lowest...

Applied on the 15th and received it yesterday. One week turnaround without fast track, very quick.

I asked a similar question about multiple bookings/PNRs when planning my trip a couple of years ago. I ended up making separate award bookings from Aus to Europe and return due to the flexibility to cancel and re-book either the outbound or inbound leg without having to ring the call centre and...

As one returns, another one goes - OQH left for AUH yesterday so still only 6 active.

https://www.oneworld.com/airport-lounges?location=HKG For the CX and QF HKG lounges, the site states that there is 'Access for eligible customers traveling on any oneworld member airline'. I suspect you are looking under the Plaza Premium lounge section which states that only passengers...

Same here. I wonder what would happen if I registered for DSC via app, didn't get the confirmation email, then registered for double points via the website. Was kind of tempted to find out but decided not to

At least it's much improved from the earlier 787s. This is from one of the jetstar 788s, as you can see it's on max darkness and yet it blocks out hardly anything. Still prefer the normal window shades though.

Not worth it for rewards points/gift cards, for me it's worth paying via deft where possible as I earn 1.25 QF points per $1. With a 1.5% fee, this equals 1.2c/qf point which I am willing to pay for. Guessing that's taking into account the tax implications otherwise I can't see how you can get...

Unfortunately even MU is blocked for the inbound leg in early January - absolutely nothing available from pretty much anywhere.

Aso Boy - one of JR Kyushu's sightseeing trains, some of which have already been mentioned earlier https://www.jrkyushu.co.jp/english/train/index.html Did not have the chance to take it so I've only managed a couple of exterior pics

A couple of pics of the Sunrise express as per post 15. The Sunrise Seto and Izumo couple and de-couple at Okayama, many locals here watching the coupling process.
