    PER to Europe in J - Need advice

    You comment on QF72 is why I rarely have returned to Australia on QF in the past. There is a daytime flight KUL-PER on MH (not Mon Wed). Getting there the day before to overnight may require excessive wandering Fred

    Passport renewal soon to be online.

    Asked today at the local AusPost. 6 weeks was quote but observed that seems to be a bit sooner... Remember that seniors' passports (over 75 years of age) with five years validity are HALF price (rounded in the government's favor) Until the travel insurance get too expensive happy wandering Fred

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    To further clarify by post #6402 The PY ticket should in QFF earn 2~ and 300 SC plus 120 SC for DSC = total 420 plus whatever you can earn getting to/from DPS (at least 100 SC ?) Happy wandering Fred

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    Being frugal in my wandering (OK down and out cheap) and wanting to have a trip to the USA later in the year (NOT in the Y cabin). and given Perth is far enough west to consider alternatives, I consulted the normal suspected intermediate departure points for premium economy fares. In the end I...

    What's your tip(s) for surviving the cesspool of Hotel booking websites?

    Booking (and being happy in) three star hotels avoids a lot of those excessive costs Haven't seen a resort hotel charge at that level. Besides the lower hotel costs means I can spend more often on the air fare needed when wandering Fred

    UK Departure Tax to increase

    A number of years ago, I faced the LHR departure tax problem. Being of more mature years (even then) I ended up with a seniors "bus" fare London to Lille and enjoyed a couple of nights in the French city. A high speed train direct from Lille to CDG completed the "avoidance", and where my bid...

    @jpp42 You answered your own question on the flyertalk AAupgrade thread...... IF you upgrade before the day of departure, you get a proper fare class upgrade as well. Enjoy your wandering Fred

    Qantas RedTail Sale to USA - LAX ex BNE,SYD $1299 ex MEL $1349 return

    At least in PE and from Perth it is less expensive to fly to Denpasar and purchase the tickets based on fares there. Pity about the red eye on QF to SYD though. mid week upgrades anyone? And AA PE from SYD to the states lowers the price yet again Always willing to save $$ when wandering Fred

    Qantas status on AA flights

    It has been a while since I have flown AA (reason should be obvious) but I seem to recall that when online check in opens at T-24, passengers are able to select (new) seats within the ticketed cabin. This applies to all passengers. Note that sometimes when elites are upgraded, nicer seats have...

    OLCI for USA flight - Collect BP at airport - should I be concerned?

    I was under the impression that USA citizens and Green card holders were the ones exempt from the vaccine requirements. Many USA citizens are actually resident in Australia......(not that the US Congress will admit there are millions resident outside the USA) Dual citizens like wandering Fred

Wednesdays seem less popular (and...

    Qantas double status credits OR double points offer [book 23-28 March 2023]

    Yes but given AA is selling as a PremY transPAC fare it should be flex economy (normal 60 SC @ way) on DPS-SYD And the fare is VERY attractive (comparable to NRT transit but with 2~) . All I would need is a window seat to allow sleeping. When compared with domestic options would be worth...
