• I am trying to work out what to do with my annual passes that I get from my credit card as I generally travel independently and haven't had more than one other person I have invited into the lounge ( and rarely on the same flight as most flights are on Dash so limited friends travelling with me)....

  • I did the Vancouver- Sydney trip a few times. When my parents picked me up in Sydney they could always tell which passengers were from Vancouver (generally with long coats / ski equipment etc as it was their winter) and those from Honolulu,  often wearing beach apparel.

  • Although I generally support this idea, not sure what the ‘uncontrollable’ would entail ( Refunds are also payable for situations which are both controllable and ‘uncontrollable’. Does that mean if there is a major disruption at an airport (ie weather) you c...

  • Maybe I am lucky but as a platinum member I have been allowed to check in two bags on a regular basis when flying on the Dash either direct to Sydney or transiting to other centres and booked economy or business. I hope this never stops. Also generally ok with 8- 9kg carry on baggage even when we...

  • I regularly fly Dubbo - Sydney on either QantasLink or Rex. Personally I find the flight attendants to be a bit more friendly on the Rex flights (although QantasLink are generally good sometimes some appear to be there just for the job, especially if they have to deal with kids). However given th...

I would imagine that there would be a number of people on London flight connecting w...

  • Qantas frequent flyer calculator

    Have you thought about using SriLankan via Melbourne? Not sure of the status points (not coming on the qantas calculator tonight), but reading the tables it should give you some status points.

  • Transferring with baggage at Heathrow

    Jan 09, 2019, 05:07 PM

    I have found the problem to be with Heathrow full stop. Every member of my family have had issues with transfer of bags with connecting flights at Heathrow, to such an extent that we all now try to avoid this airport. It didn’t matter which airline we flew in with (although always transferr...

  • Have they announced the second pilot training centre yet, wondering if this is an indication that Tamworth gets the nod. Agree with Clancy, it would have been nice if other ports had been considered for a lounge to start with (there is a space set aside at Dubbo for a lounge so I am told)
