Congratulations. I heard that neither Delta or United are bumping out of US so it should be safe. Other option is using points if you have them and are not fixed on a date. United are allowing redemptions but they tend to be last minute.

I'm currently in quarantine in Sydney. I feel fortunate as I'm in the Sydney Sofitel. Great room and feels spacious enough. My husband and I chose to quarantine separately as felt 2 weeks in a room together would be too much togetherness. We are not allowed to leave the room. I do not have a...

One day a week, on the same weekday, really cheap business class fares are coming up randomly on Japan Airlines via Tokyo. Have to make sure it’s not the route going via Chicago as that involves a change of airport in Tokyo. Good luck with the hunt. We are leaving next week as we decided to take...

So is it possible for Australians to transit Hong Kong if coming from the US as I've just seen some flights open up later this month.

Unfortunately I do not believe travellers from the USA can transit via Japan. If I'm wrong I'd appreciate the correction as that opens up other possibilities...

Whereabouts are you based? SD is rather difficult to get the direct flight out of to LAX at this time. Other thing is if you find a date it might be worth calling the airline to see if you can get a late night flight out of somewhere like SAN then overnight in SFO or LAX. I've been checking this...

Apologies, I must be going senile because I only saw a fraction of what you posted. Actually I'm going to plead election fatigue as my excuse, as it's been a few very tiring long days.

I have noted that even with AA flights coming online later this month, ANZ restarting twice weekly in December, flight prices have not eased. I think until they significantly increase quarantine numbers there is going to continue to be a squeeze for flights out of the USA. I think for best...

Yep, very aware that SAN is SD as I reside there.

The other bizarre thing I have noticed, if I price out the flight from SAN to SYD which obviously goes via LAX or SFO on somedays it comes up $1k cheaper than buying LAX - SYD. Other issue I've encountered is if I put in a domestic leg from SAN to LAX it might involve 3 flights. We are of the...

Hawaii starts a travel bubble with Japan on November 6. Same deal in that travellers must have a negative CV test before departure.

US$. I must admit I have only been checking business class flights because of the bump factor. I think it is key to be sure the airline is actually running those flights before purchasing as I've noticed airlines selling flights which then get withdrawn a week later. Would hate to get caught not...

Might be worth following this page as it updates as to what flights are running. At this time ANZ is not taking new bookings but it may change in the future. Can Australians transit via AKL or Japan? Other thing I noticed today is Hawaii-Japan route opens on November 6 so not sure if that will...

Also I’d only be looking at non stop flights out of LAX or SFO on United, Delta or American as they will definitely be running. I’ve seen the Air Canada option via Vancouver but not sure if it’s actually running.

$4k is cheap. I check regularly for flights out of LAX and most days cheapest is about $6k ranging up to $15k many days. Dread to think what the return price is.

I think there is a lot of hiding behind CV as an excuse to cut costs and I think as long as one is not being a drama queen about it, it is ok to complain. We recently had a stay at a Hyatt Regency and were told on check in no room service unless requested. We were staying for 5 nights and were...

I heard the redundancy decision had been held up due to the legal challenge by the ex Sunstate? staff. The courts heard the case in September and believe the decision is to be handed down in December.

I'll probably contradict myself every second sentence here with my exceptions. I think going forward my first intent will be to spend points where it makes sense. When CV struck I felt foolish looking at my stash of Virgin Atlantic points and being concerned if they were all going to disappear...

Anyone who is dreaming of a US trip in the near future should closely examine that desire. Numbers here are out of control and way under reported. Here in San Diego we can't get a covid test that easily. Even if we complete the questionnaire and note that we are displaying symptoms we are told...

We did the 23andme testing when the provided a full medical profile of genetic characteristics. It was quite fascinating as so much of it was spot on. Predicted from genetics what our 3 most likely health issues would be and they were spot on based on family history and medical events that have...
