  • A five-year wait for Australia’s digital arrivals card?

    Nov 03, 2025, 09:56 AM

    Works for all International flights arriving in BNE, not just ones from Auckland. It says 18+ only as well but works fine for my kids.Interesting the long rollout, about a month back PNG announced it had a new system and it went live a week later. Didn't even trial it.

    I've used this a dozen times or more through Brisbane all with no major issues. Only thing I have noted is that is says for 18 years or older only, but I've filled in for my kids and never had an issue going through. It also doesn't save any of your data unfortunately, so have to fill everything ...

  • Qantas Frequent Flyer status hard to retain for overseas flyers

    Certainly something I think I will be affected by. As I'm based outside Australia 95% of my Qantas travel is back to Australia and other international, with a few domestic connections. I don't think I'll be travelling back to Australia for maybe 12 months at this rate, let alone anywhere else!

  • Airbus A220 tour visits Sydney, Qantas, Virgin Australia

    Cant work out how to edit - but ANG did order 4x 737-MAX just before they got grounded - this could be a good alternative perhaps.

    Port Moresby - wonder if Air Niugini would look at it to replace the F100 or even in place of a 767 for POM-BNE/SYD etc.

  • Retaining Platinum: can I use points?

    Yes you get soft landing to gold. Thats standard.As for buying Platinum - best to ring and ask them I've heard.

  • Lounge access for QF platinum out of Cairns

    Yes you can use the Reef Lounge in International. Domestic is a separate terminal and wouldn't be very practical, especially given customs/immigration etc.

    Damn. I just booked NZ tickets on QF last week. Seems I will miss this.

  • Airline Status vs Hotel Status

    Mar 26, 2019, 01:02 PM

    I found this out recently also. I do a lot of bookings through Booking.com and found Hilton and Accor wouldn't credit the system. Pain really.

  • Using electronics during take off and landing

    Feb 04, 2019, 09:59 AM

    I travel with an iPad Mini which I purely have for airline travel. Allows me to read a book or watch my movie everytime. That said, I recall a Rex Airlines flight a few years ago where I was asked to put my physical book away during takeoff/landing!
