    India: getting from DEL airport to Dehradun quickly

    SWMBO has us flying from Australia into DEL at 6 pm and booked the start of a trekking tour for 6 am - 12 hours later! - in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, 267 km or about 5 hours' drive away. I cannot find any flights or trains that can realistically make the trip in time. There's one IndiGo flight...

    Ask The Pilot

    I know pilots are incredibly trained and professional so hope you’ll forgive this pop culture question: What’s the worst sound you can hear in the coughpit? Is it the fire alarm? Whoop whoop pull up? A flight attendant calling about a pax carrying on? The co-pilot saying their last meal is...

    Qantas First class SYD-LAX

    Sounds like a fantastic experience until you actually boarded the aircraft. Reports are that dine on demand is a lie and you dine when they demand.

    Nice to get an extremely generous helping of their fantastic satay :)

    Checking in to a hotel at a self-service kiosk?

    I've been to some hotels where they had both kiosks and staff - I would have been happy to try the kiosk especially if it didn't mean waiting in line but usually the staff have offered to do an 'in person' check in anyway. I couldn't get the kiosk to work at Ibis Styles Melbourne Airport and a...

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    LTG now showing again on digital card. (IT fix must have been effectively rebudgeted from AJ's bonus :p)

    The Qantas Status Run Master Thread

    Good to know, my inclination had been to go landside if I couldn’t transit. The overnighter is a bit of a killer (even in J both ways) but I didn’t want to do another DPS turnaround.

    Qantas [strategy to make most of points and upgrade to business class?]

    Agree with @MEL_Traveller 's points ... although they may have meant hung up rather than help up? While the occasional miracle happens and is posted about on AFF, overall your chances of getting upgraded to LAX as a bronze are extremely slim and you should fully expect to fly in the cabin you...

    Jetstar/Qantas/Virgin cabin baggage dimensions - how strictly are they enforced?

    I can count on one hand ever seeing VA or QF measure bags at the gate using that metal thingy to enforce the dimensions. imo if your bag fits into the overhead bin, and you don't try to take the proverbial by bringing another big bag, you'll probably get away with it - and if you don't, accept...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    I did a lot of J flights recently and found lots of industry fares, who were always served last. They’d get the tray, drinks and bread at the same time as revenue pax but would only be offered the choices (and there usually were ample choices left) at the end.

    Points strategy on a car purchase

    Nice you were able to negotiate strongly for your outcome. Hopefully the pendulum is swinging from car dealers back towards buyers now.

    The Qantas Status Run Master Thread

    During my run a couple of weeks ago I landed in AKL around 23:30 and was told transit had already closed, around 23:00. I had to clear immigration and customs and go landside (and couldn’t go back airside - immigration wouldn’t let me through either the e-gates or manual processing because my...
