Thanks for the tips all. For those interested, CX seems to have some decent J pricing around late Dec. $3.5k out of Sydney is not too bad. What is Christmas like in China? Mass tourism? It wont be CNY levels but curious if western new year is just as busy.

Thanks Mel_Traveller. Appreciate the tips and suggestions. Based out of Oz Cruiser. So travelling from Oz hence the q about whether the visa situation for tourists (sans family) might be easier.

Genuine question for the China regulars. Do you need a guide/driver for Shanghai. I imagine the metro is sufficient so no need for a driver but what about a local guide. Can you cut it with translation apps on your own or do you really need someone to translate/guide for you? Where would people...

On a similar theme why is it that flights to JFK come in significantly cheaper than say LAX?

They must be the only airline flying to Manchestar.

I see the fare rules suggest Dec booking is available but cannot seem to price anything remotely matching the price which is a shame.

Having recently had the experience of flying this route with Jetstar I am happy to recommend staying away. One toilet on a flight of that length is a travesty. The poor crew trying to get up and down the aisle as the single file queue for the toilet stretches back to Row 8 at times was an...

I posted in the tips thread that I had real difficulty changing my SQ to Velocity. Kept getting blocked at the OTP stage which never came and there was nowhere to enter it even if I did arrive.

Gee changing FF number online on a paid flight seems easy but is apparently not so easy. After entering managing my booking and making the change, it gets blocked by a request for a OTP which is totally fine except it never arrives and there is no space on the form to enter it anyway. It says...

Just to add my experience to the thread having just gone through the evoa process. Fairly smooth, although had to double check everything as first it misread the passport numbers (mistaking a 7 for 1), then somehow got the contact email address incorrect on the confirmation page (which led to a...

Has anyone had any success taking a selfie and then just cropping using mobile phone tools? Whats the aspect ratio they need?

Yes, I believe they will through check it, if onward transit is within 24 hours. I had a 18 layover once and it was held and checked through. Not sure where they stored it though as the bag was water damaged on subsequent collection.

Thanks very much for your helpful tips. It has been a while since I was in Bali (and did get sick on the way home) so I am getting a bit paranoid about it affecting the onward journey. Avoid tap water. Close mouth in shower and stick to the cooked stuff. Sounds like a plan. Its only a few...

On the topic of Bali, is food and drink, apart from tap water, generally considered safe in the large international chain hotels (e.g sofitel, hyatt etc). I have a short two day stop in Bali and then onwards and am a little concerned about Bali belly bringing the next leg crashing down.

Appreciate all the contributions to this thread. Three questions if I may. 1. Can the EVOA only be applied for sub 14 days prior to arrival? 2. Photo. Is there an ideal way to get the photo right or does the system crop it to size for you? 3. Family. Can you go through one single...

No, I know. I had seen it mentioned earlier in the thread about asking for a change. I dont intend to ask as I expect a fee. The fare I booked had this as the connecting flight all on one ticket so its perfectly allowable. I am comfortable with it. I only worry about my bags really and even then...

I have a connection time of 50 mins which I understand is the MCT for SQ at Changi. The on time performance for my aircraft in has been very good but of course it only takes one delay. There are a few earlier flights I could get to make things more comfortable but would SQ actually move me for...

Is SQ offering it across all their flights now or is it still limited to a350?

Jase05. You might be right. But the last time I checked the ferals cash was as goos as anyone's and fares on the route are hardly bargain basement.

Thanks Airwin. Breathlessly repeated and amplified by our mainstream media all desperate to nuzzle at the Qantas teet. Those lounge privileges must be something.
