    Mar 17, 2020, 01:22 PM

    I cancelled flights yesterday and was not so lucky. domestic flight booked with a travel voucher was completely non refundable as past the expiry date of the original travel voucher. Also cancelled a FF booking for 5 tickets booked and was only offered a waiver of fees if I changed dates, to ca...

  • Review: The Emirates Lounge, Singapore Changi Airport

    Oct 24, 2018, 11:03 AM

    Chris, great review, now the kangaroo route has reopened I’ll defo be going through SIN instead of DXB, as a single business traveler I’ll definitely be using the Emirates lounge, for all of the points you have raised in your review, but I often travel with family and not always in ...

  • Qantas mulls a move to 'buy on board'

    May 24, 2018, 05:15 PM

    This is a dreadful idea. they may as well just paint a big star over the roo. Qantas prides itself (or at least it used to) on providing a full service. I can't imagine they are going to introduce a fare cheaper than the red e deal so really it looks like just another way to extort more money ...

  • Qatar's Doha business class lounge is so busy!

    Jul 02, 2019, 02:18 PM

    I had no IFE on Qatar ADL - DOH. 14 hours with a blank screen! Fortunately an overnight flight so I slept for a large proportion of the flight, but still it was 14 hours with no IFE. I received no compensation offers from the crew, and no communication from Qatar. I wrote an email of complain...

    Hi Aus BT readershipI just want to have a little vent. I am flying a party of 5 in business class with Qatar.
