Feel like I am starting to make progress! Have transferred my physical Telstra SIM to an eSIM - very straightforward to do via the MyTelstra app. Now looking for a provider in the UK that I can order eSIM from before I leave and be ready to go when I land. I was considering Giff Gaff but...

Ordinarily I would do just that. For this trip though, I need a local UK number as well as access to my Australian number.

Ok, the several replies about this today have given me a bit more hope. Most of the information I could gather for my scenario was via Apple support forums where the consensus seemed to be that you "should" be able to do it but I could not find evidence that people had success - just reports of...

TBH I haven't really looked at converting Telstra to eSIM - agree it is probably easy and will look into before I leave. I'll be away for 10 days, so any of the products that are around 30 days would be fine, so long as they have a UK number. Anyway, after many hours into the early morning...

Good idea but my physical SIM slot is taken up by my Telstra SIM and I don't have time to go through the process of converting to eSIM. In the dark past I used to have two phones - local SIMs for home and visiting country. Have to leave those dinosaur times behind lol.

Thanks SYD. GiffGaff plans are a bit cheaper, will also see if they can ask my specific questions.

Thanks RealtimeY. They look like good plans but information about how they work is pretty sparse (but that could just be my inexperience with this). I'll send their support an email to ask the specific questions I'm hoping their plans will address.

Could I get advice from members here about my upcoming trip to the UK and what my telcom/data needs are? Have a new iPhone 15 Pro Max, which I transferred an existing Telstra physical SIM card to (i.e. has my Australian number). Most of the time I'm away I will have access to WiFi and in the...

Yes! This is exactly why I like 11A (and I assume 11K is the same but I've never sat there). Hopefully 16A has the same footwell arrangement.

Thanks Justin, that's very useful. The map seems much more detailed than QF's own map on the A380 specifications page. Thanks jb747. Seat selection in MMB sort of implies it is located at an exit as it is coded green as an "extra legroom" seat. However, I realised when looking at the QF & now...

Wondering if anyone has experienced seat 16A on the A380. Seat selection screen shows it as an extra legroom seat. I think there is a galley between it and the first door on the upper deck. So, would the setup be similar to 11A for example? I've only travelled in the front half of the A380...

Had the unfortunate experience this Tuesday of turning up at OOL 2.5 hours before my morning SYD flight planning to do some work in the lounge and have a half decent coffee. As reported here, lounge not open and there was a sign near the door listing the flights & times that it would be open...

Worked for me on a Jetstar classic reward.

I couldn't say for sure. However, I am planning to not register for the double points just in case. My last remaining DSC travel pass will be used on a booking to be made soon for travel sometime post February 2024, and I am banking on the DSC coming through. The last travel pass I used on a...

Back with an update. Visited the Singapore First lounge on arrival from delayed SYD flight connecting to QF code share to Koh Samui (USM) operated by Bangkok Airways (PG). Explained to the lounge agent we had just arrived and could we access the lounge as a WP using my boarding pass for the PG...

Thanks Serfty. From my bit of digging I thought the interpretation was a bit murky. I missed that little asterisk which now gives me a little hope that I might be successful. Flight is not until September but I will report back as to outcome.

Wasn't sure if I should post a new thread or bump this one. A similar question to the OP but as it relates to arriving on QF coded/QF metal flight connecting to a QF codeshare flight operated by a non-Oneworld airline. As a WP would I have access with a guest to the QF lounges in SIN? (The...

Not sure how I missed this one. Have a single lounge invite that will expire tomorrow (4/12/2022). If able to utilise, send message with QFFF number & last name.

Mine did eventually come through but seemed to be on a later processing cycle than everyone else was reporting. I would assume if you were going to get them they would have posted by now as the three month period is well and truly over.

Yes, after failing to see the flight combos on the VA site, I tried clicking on the "Book with Virgin Australia" button and it just showed the booking page with a list of flights for the outbound trip to select (both non-stop and connections via MEL, but not the flights as shown on Google). As...
