September 2023 as then QF Accor Gold - very nice room per upgrade. No major issues though about half an hour ride to get there Late checkout was combined with a Ubud tour and delivery to airport Novotel for late dinner and flight checkin. Beach front restaurant is NOT part of the hotel. Note...

Union rules now require pilots in transit get first class seats....... Over and above any unmentionable air marchalls.... sometimes you need to be grateful you still have nice seating when wandering Fred

Well hopefully mid 70s can be considered mid-life? There are many forms of wandering Fred

But will Project Sunrise and its related aircraft acquisition allow the return of the Perth Tokyo flights? If not I would rather connect through CNS than SYD.... Though CX has had some reasonable Y cabin fares recently.... Which given the fare codes on those they may or may not assist retention...

Gcmap does agree BNE-LAX is 28 miles shorter than CNS-LAX But CNS is 113 miles closer to PER than BNE OTOH I know which I would prefer to visit on a holiday (not the political capital) One must keep up an image while wandering Fred

Since the subject of PER-LAX cane up earlier, it would be a perfect route for the A321-XLR PER-CNS 2133 miles CNS-HNL 4634 miles HNL-LAX 2556 miles Why fly direct when you can connect (while wandering) Especially if the Queensland government will help with the landing fees in CNS Fred Yes I did...

737-800 nominal range is about 3500 miles with NAN-HNL being about 3200..... So practically speaking -probably not. JQ A321-neo/LRs would have a range of 4400 plus. And the XLR variant over 5000 But then VA seems to be willing to push the limits, so you knows where a narrow body will see you...

Perhaps it is the lousy QF connections from PER to SE Asia (and SIN in particular)? If you are willing to fly JQ maybe the newly scheduled flights later in the year will "help" Though I doubt the QF/JQ combination will ever compete with SQ/Scoot/Air Asia for the mass market. Happy wandering? Fred

Amazingly, MH flights as CR from Perth to Asian points seem to have re-appeared when I checked for the Sept/Oct 2024 time frame. And a small occurrence of J cabins seats. Given this is school holidays in WA I suspect they may not last long. Oh the trials of arranging for future wandering Fred

Having just booked (12 Mar) a Max Bundle flight for May I checked the current price... About $14 more..... Not worth cancelling and re-booking for a few thousand points. The trials of wandering Fred

SIN-BKK and return are short (cheap?) enough to consider an award flight for the connection. Especially when considering that the earning for any paid flight option is minimal. Be creative when wandering Fred

Ask how wheel chair assisted passengers are going to be accommodated ? Some people actually do need assistance when wandering Fred

On the contrary, Qantas tickets can be purchased via the old fashioned route, known as a travel agent. Which makes the ticket class (ie fare code) much more visible. Not of particular interest to QFF members but of much greater importance to OW partner FF members. Not just Australians are...

A bit of email address verification? For spam lists? Hello, Did you receive my previous email? Regards, Aldi Albrechts I don't think my email address should be wandering Fred

Actually there can be quite a bit of "enhancement in earnings" within the Qantas major fare categories. You do not always need to spend big $$. Look at the real fare codes in the partner crediting for QF flights to OneWorld partners. Qantas has multiple prices with in each fare category. With...

I work on the premise that leaving and returning to Australia is done with one way tickets. Though I wonder what the ramifications of an international-international connection in Australia as part of the ticket purchased outside of the country would be.... RE: American has some interesting...

Has anyone actually booked a DONE(4/5/6) (ex Japan seems most frugal) during the DSC period? Liberal application of QF flights would prove interesting Or am I again wandering Fred

Then you have the die hard AFFers..... Whose opinion of Project Sunrise is: Why fly direct when you can connect and sleep in a real bed when wandering Fred PS Bring back the HNL-CNS flight (actually flown in 1987)

4000 mile range would open up almost all of SE Asia to PER or DRW That would be interesting for wandering Fred

The only announcement I would like to see is that QF will follow the EU/UK 261 guidelines for QF and JQ flights which either depart from to arrive into Australian airports. Even if restricted to flights credited to a QFF account. I know..... Way too much wandering Fred
