Folks, any idea when VA release reward seats to VFF? I have a Flex Y booking I’m due to fly tomorrow and on both legs there are still 7 J seats for sale (and have been for a week), yet no classic reward is available. I still have UpgradeMe Plat offers to use and this would be a perfect...

Any tourists to PNG recently? If so, can you confirm the that entry paperwork appears to be a choice of (Aus passport): 1. Take passport and completed form to PNG High Commission / Consulate and get visa in passport for free, or 2. Pay USD50 for online e-visa? Visa on arrival not possible for...

Some pretty sharp pricing on EY J flights from MNL to a couple of cities in Europe. Seems to be centred around travel next month but other dates available. GVA, MAD, DUB and CPH all sub AUD2.5K for return from MNL. Pair with connecting Y daytime flights from SYD or MEL on PR for ~AUD1K more and...

I don’t know if this thread can be reopened: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/1000-flights-how-to-celebrate.89367/ but if not, I have a similar question to that posed by @juddles. Unfortunately I won’t be in J but will be sort of travelling ‘internationally’. Open...

I’ve sat on my hands for a couple of days before posting this, because I did want to see if it was more than just me, but no other posts… interesting. VA have offered me a targeted status challenge to regain WP. I was plat until some point early last year and have dropped to SG now. Have...

I see the term ‘Global Traveller’ bandied about occasionally in advertising or on blogs and articles and it got me wondering: what* exactly is a global traveller? I turned over a few of the internets rocks and couldn’t find anything definitive, so am going to list what I think a global...

…as with most things. Background: Family Scarlett headed to/from Asia to Europe for a couple of weeks during school holidays. UL flights booked CGK-CMB-CDG then return FRA-CMB-CGK in J. During the outbound there was a 10 hour transit in CMB so I contacted UL to see if there was still an STPC...

Looks like some people won’t be getting to MEL today like they had planned. MH129 had travelled almost overhead DPS (~1/3rd of its journey) before turning around and heading back to KUL.

Quite a specific question, but maybe someone will know about IB and their baggage through check policies: If I take an IB flight (paid) and at the destination will then be taking UL flights (same day - paid) are IB able (and willing) to through check my bags to final UL destination? IB...

This random flight option popped up on a search. No idea if it’s even bookable, but for that price there will be people who will try. <$4K return to FCO, QF/AZ via HND. In J. Availability appears limited to a couple of days in late Aug and September at that price. Comes up as a fare from...

Based on this thread Tullamarine best airport in Australia/Pacific and the fact that I don’t trust anything skytrax publishes, I reckon we of AFF can do better. To that end I’d like everyone to list their top ten ‘best’ airports in the Australia-Pacific below this post. When we get to 100...

Following on a little from this thread, Australian Airports you have landed at or taken off from. I started wondering in my head whilst going for a walk this morning if I could recall visiting airports with IATA codes from A-Z: (got stuck on g for a long while, but like buses, once I’d thought...

It’s the big things… Drawing on the history of such globally significant ‘lines’ such as the Mason-Dixon Line; Maginot Line; Piccadilly Line and even The Equator, what I really want to know is, what is the extent of the ‘hotel-supplied dental kit line’? Indonesia supplies them in hotels, so...

With massive apologies to Lt.Col. Kilgore…and the English language… …I love the smell of giving my credit card a workout on an airlines website! 🤪

@andye any idea how you’ve got some extra background associated with your avatar pic? I clicked on it whilst scrolling the wordle page and this is what I see: You have what appears to be the old AFF flight tracker (or current OpenFlights tracker) map behind your name and avatar. I clicked on...

Hello fellow golfers. I know that @JohnK and @theblank are other keen golfers on AFF and I’m sure there are more. I thought the idea of a thread which can contain consolidated golf travel related information might be useful. Things such as: - any recommendations for playing in city xx_ -...

We used to have one of these threads previously but it’s from the old setup and now locked, so here’s my relatively tame opener: Indonesia to Cyprus for holidays during the Eid il Fitr break period post Ramadan and we’ve travelled CGK-IST-CPH (TK J return airfare to get to Europe - open jaw and...

Someone else needs to check this, but looking at the current google maps image for LHR, there appears to be not a single aircraft at a gate! At one of the worlds largest airports! There is however a QF 787 looking like it’s about to depart on 09R and a Saudi 777 coming off that RWY heading for...

Ladies and Gents, I have spent the better part of a day reading different official websites, including Australian specific guidance and even tripadvisor. What I understand from those is that there is a grey area surrounding travel between the three places of the title. What I need is hopefully...

As this thread is no longer open for replies: Domestic in Indonesia with Citilink/Air Asia Indonesia I thought I’d give an update on travelling with Indonesian LCC Citilink (code QG). Citilink is the LCC arm of (almost bankrupt) national carrier Garuda. Think JQ to QF… In terms of local...
