Dubai to build world
Sep 09, 2014, 04:48 PMAl Maktoum is horrendous--I flew through there a couple of months back. It's in the absolute middle of nowhere and took an eternity to reach there by taxi. Hopefully their plans include a fast train link to Downtown Dubai and to Abu Dhabi in the other direction.

Qantas Hong Kong Airport Lounge First Class Business Class Platinum Oneworld
Mar 30, 2014, 08:22 PMQuite likely a dumb question, but with access stated as "The Qantas Hong Kong Lounge is open to business class passengers on Qantas and Oneworld partner flights", does this mean Cathay business passengers can also access the Qantas lounge? Or will they restrict Cathay passengers and send them to ...

Qantas partners with flydubai
Oct 29, 2013, 05:47 PMThis is GREAT news! Working in Kabul, Fly Dubai has always been a good reliable option to get back to Dubai to connect to flights back home. Great to know we'll be able to check bags and get boarding passess all the way. Is there any information about when this arrangement will all be in place? ...

Retaining Qantas Platinum in Asia
Jul 05, 2019, 09:10 AMWhile based in Manila, I did some status runs on MH whenever they had a business class sale. MNL-KUL-CGK return was often quickest and cheapest, and each trip netted 240 QFF SC for a $350 fare. Intra-Asia fares on MH have retained a decent earn rate. A pretty easy way to bump up to Platinum!

Transiting through Jakarta OR Manila through 2 separate itineraries (have to ...
Jun 13, 2018, 04:59 PMIn this instance I wouldn't recommend transiting through Manila. QF and CX currently use separate terminals which aren't easy to transit between. (Although on a side note, there are rumours the Philippines Government is looking to shake up which terminals airlines use and Qantas might be directed...

Chasing Platinum Qantas frequent flyer status, worth it?
Aug 08, 2017, 04:41 PMExcellent value status runs can be done on intra-Asia flights on Malaysia Airlines.

Ea...

Any advice on Hotels in Hong Kong , Manila and Cebu please
Jul 20, 2016, 07:30 PMIn Manila: If you're just transiting and that's why you want to stay near the airport, pick a hotel depending on what terminal you land at. Terminal 3: the Marriott Hotel and Resorts World Manila are just across the street. Terminal 1 and 2, the nearest (good) hotels are a little further awa...
