@RooFlyer have you booked accommodation in Lincoln yet?

Not necessarily rush but if you’re only going to the cathedral then book close to it. It’s a steep walk down (and worse up) to the main part of the town and there are plenty of restaurants up the top near the cathedral

Booked & thanks for the tip. The Old Palace, very close to the cathedral, and with parking. Although I note "The Steep Hill" is very adjacent!

I've been using booking.com to scope out places and I usually then book direct, but the pricing has been a bit odd. Most places were cheaper booking direct but this one about 50 pounds cheaper with booking.com, so went with that.

One place had their booking engine u/s, so I booked through booking.com, then e-mailed the place saying I'd prefer to book direct. Gave me a nice discount over their on-line price and booking.com, with same cancellation

I hope you don't get a big car because a lot of their driveways are very tiny but it's a good location

It is interesting re booking.com. I use it a lot to find what's around and then go to the main site. The hotel I stayed at in Lisbon kept on saying for the best price book on our site but I got it for about $40 a night less through Qantas hotels

The B&B I stayed at in France charge 30% extra to book through booking.com because that's what they get charged and people still do it

I was originally booked on QF1514 0800 service. I arrived at the airport early and requested to be put on an earlier (first flight out of MEL, preferably) flight.

It’s been ages since I’ve been for a bus ride and the weather is nice, so why not.







The nice bus driver dropped me off here:*


Mascot, New South Wales

*May have been noted in other threads, but express path is back in business outbound.

We have a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom harbour view apartment - SIL is with us and going to opera tonight. Lovely view but I think I prefer 4Seasons and IC to be honest.

Is express path pass handed at check-in or J/F boarding pass needed?

 

[Quickstatus]

Is express path pass handed at check-in

Its separate to the J/F boarding pass

Probably and it was the 0600 flight out, so very early ... the lounge was super empty as well .. only a handful of people

Cool, so if I have a Y BP, can I still flash the express path card and use the express path? OR do I need to have both express path pass AND J/F boarding pass?

 

[Quickstatus]

I need to have both express path pass AND J/F boarding pass?

Only if you think you are very important

In my case, I noticed it on the virtual BP in the app after I checked in online.

Having come off the D>I transfer, it was a hard left at the top of the stairs. Follow signs for “Business and First”.

Off topic, but transfer bus to F lounge in less than 10 mins, 8 mins of that waiting for people who were not match fit at security.
