Yes, we did not get to Zanzibar on our last visit (for various reasons) so very much looking forward to it.

We'll be doing Zanzibar, Moshi, Lake Chala, Arusha plus out to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara. Mr SB and I have visited Tanzania before but many moons ago as backpackers with quite a different budget range.

I have decided to have a crack at a TR of our upcoming journey to Sweden and Tanzania for this forum. We [me, Mr ShelleyB and ShelleyB-son (10)] are T-9 days away from setting off on the first leg of a 42 day journey that takes in Sweden and Tanzania. Why such an odd combination? It wasn't...

A flight path change does seem to be the only explanation that makes sense.

Last night received a notification of a flight time change for a BA flight we are taking in Dec from AMM-LHR. The flight is now departing 30 minutes earlier but arriving 20 minutes later. How does that work? It's not a problem as although we are transiting there's still plenty of time, but it...

If you want to add the return leg (if you find the award flights you want online) to the already booked award this can only be done on the phone with Qantas. There will likely be a change fee of 5000 points per ticket. The whole thing will need to re-ticketed, potentially risking the flights you...

Another issue that ultimately wasn't a problem for me but could have been. CI award flights for next year have been consistently released at 360 days at 11am AEST. I was looking for a specific flight in J so logged on right at 11.00am when I knew they would be released for the specific day I...

Booked just recently with Qantas points for travel in Sep next year. All flights with CI in J MEL-TPE-KIX -> fees ~$118 per person NRT-TPE-BNE -> fees ~$320 per person Booked first leg as soon as it became available as it's school holiday travel, with plan to add return leg via phone. Usual...

As a side note had no trouble accessing the CI app to select seats using the Qantas PNR, but this was not immediate - took a little under 24 hours for it to be recognised. Have booked MEL-KIX (via TPE) in J and had no trouble selecting seats for the MEL-TPE leg. Could not select seats for the...

I just made one today (MEL-KIX) and it ticketed within the hour. Points and fees all taken immediately

Sorry to hear that Soarer. Thanks for the heads up to everyone though.

Yes this. Earlier this year we were scheduled to fly back from Denpasar and flight was cancelled. Had booked J on JQ as a daylight flight option but ended up whY on QF on a night flight. Was a definite bummer but at least flight was cancelled before arrival at airport and we were only delayed...

I have had this a few times. It does indeed always seem to be school holiday times and when I am personally only travelling to Sydney for a few days. I have always assumed (without actually having evidence) that it's to free up space in the value parking. I have taken it each time and it's...

As promised am providing an update now this issue has finally been resolved. After finally getting Qantas to admit that BER was un-selectable as a destination the frequent-flyer staff monitoring the email submitted the application for me manually. THEN that application was unsuccessful due to...

We went to the other restaurant by the same group in Gora - the Gora Brewery (NOBU STYLE 鉄板焼レストラン｜GORA BREWERY & GRILL｜トップページ). It was a little exxy but not any worse than a 1 or 2 chef's hatted place here in Melbourne. The main star of the show for us was the Wagyu Tomahawk steak. It's 15000...

Thanks. That's what I had been planning on doing and understood should be fine from my research.

Can you elaborate? We'll be going to Egypt later this year and I am trying to work out if I should be taking USD. Are there situations where the local currency would not suffice?

12 months :eek:

A further update. The screenshots of the lack of other options besides TXL ie. def no option to select BER finally did the trick and the claim has been submitted manually for me. We'll see how long it takes to be credited. In the meantime, I am assured the lack of BER in the system "has been...

Wish mine was so easy. Not having much luck so far, despite them being in possession of my eticket and boarding passes. But if they knew months ago it was an issue, it's disappointing to find they have still not rectified.
