  • Coronavirus: Cathay Pacific closes three HKG lounges

    Cathay pacific is now waiving cancellation + rebooking fees for flights 'arriving to, departing from or transit through Hong Kong' through to End of March : https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_AU/travel-information/travel-preparation/travel-advisories/special-ticketing-guidelines-for-passengers-a...

    Good news for us -

  • Cathay Pacific cuts flights to Australia, mainland China

    Feb 13, 2020, 09:47 AM

    Does anyone have a direct email address for contacting Cathay Pacific customer service (so matter can be escalated)? They don't have anything listed for Australia/Global on their website - only online 'feedback form' which they say may or may not be responded to (and appears to just go to externa...

  • Changing and cancelling China travel due to coronavirus

    Feb 07, 2020, 04:54 PM

    Oh and just read HKExpress is 100% owned by Cathay Pacific - so basically CP is cause of all of these cancellations & they are refusing to waive the fees. Pretty poor effort - don't think we'll trust them again with our travel. Meanwhile - still unable to raise HKE via live chat and confirm i...

  • Posting comments in Edge doesn't work properly

    When posting comments on articles in Edge (Windows), most of the reply is lost - only first line appears. Seems to be working on Firefox.

  • Have Qantas reduced their FF Contact Centre operating hours?

    Sep 30, 2019, 06:23 PM

    Qantas FF call center service (namely wait times) is a nightmare. Clearly massively understaffed - last time I rang (a few months ago) was on hold for 1hr 7mins - was flying 1st class international too - you'd have thought that may have helped them serve up some faster service (or perhaps those f...

  • Best business class for two adults and an infant?

    Sep 13, 2019, 04:49 PM

    At risk of having something thrown at me - I can see why it's considered pretty bad form to do this. There's also a huge difference between a shorter 6-8hr flight (SE Asia) vs all the way to Europe/New York ~18-20hrs . You are pretty much guaranteed there will be several melt downs on those longe...

  • Vietnam Holiday - eVisa or Approval Letter/VOA

    Sep 12, 2019, 11:30 PM

    ps - the Qantas website (travel/visa advice) points you at a site called VisaLink (which I think is owned by Qantas given logo in header).. Their quoted fees (for pre approval letter) are insane - ~$200 for combined "Consular + Visalink fees" and that's 7 day service. The 'Same Day' service costs...
