Just FYI Cairns now has a 7/11 at a Service Station on Sheridan St out near the airport that sells those donuts. It opened yesterday. There is now NO NEED for people coming to Cairns from Brisbane to clog up the overhead bins with big bags of bloody donuts...you can buy them here. Spread the...

Last week I had to attend a funeral in BNE with just a few days notice. It was my first flight in over 2 years. The usual CNS to BNE Qantas 6am flight was not available...seems this is the one they always cancel...so booked a 7am Jetstar which would arrive in time, thinking at least I can go to...

Looking for recent waiting times for LAX customs. Arrive on QF15 at 6am on a Wed next month. My last personal experience was 8 years ago, one was 10 mins and other was 3 hours so not sure what to expect nowadays. Looking at booking a 10am AA flight elsewhere...separate ticket. Been reading...

I am trying to a book a return trip to London while the Double SC offer is on...I can get the dates and flights I want but on the way back I have to come straight back with no stopover so thought I would go PE, there are reasonable fares on that date if booked directly. Is it possible in the...

Was happy to get a business upgrade for tonights QF98...so get to the airport at 1pm and find I cant check in until 4pm! I know you can check in your luggage in the city 24 hours in advance so thought for sure someone at the airport could do the same...but no. Wasnt sure if the train station...

Recently flew CNS-BNE-NRT-CTS return...all on QF flight numbers...all one Booking Number. The NRT-CTS segments were on Jetstar Japan but QF numbered flights. When I booked I used points plus pay to minimise the cost down a bit...first time I have used this. Coming back the Jetstar CTS-NRT...

On a recent trip from SYD to LAX, in business class, my travelling companion was subjected to extra security screenings at each check point. His boarding pas had "SSSS" on it, the only difference from mine. He was apparently "randomly" chosen. The check in agent mentioned it to him and gave...
