    I agree with you Steve987 that the Tokyo lounge could be worse. Although it’s a sad, and to some extent, an embarrassing look for Qantas when the “home port” Int’l business class lounges (aka Sydney & Melbourne) are in great need of a facelift and fare worse overal...

  • Cathay Pacific Marco Polo Club vs Asia Miles: what's the difference?

    May 30, 2019, 08:46 PM

    To clarify for everyone’s benefit, which Brandon explained to some extent, to reach Marco Polo Diamond status when you first join Cathay Pacific’s Marco Polo (MC) program you will need to accumulate a total of 2100 Club Points.That’s because you need 300 club points firstly t...

    Makes ‘Euro’ business class look embarrassing in comparison. Well done ANA. 👏

  • Review: Review: China Eastern A350 Business Class [Sydney-Shanghai]

    Apr 03, 2019, 07:07 AM

    I’ve heard registering for Wifi on China Eastern is somewhat convoluted, with the mainland ‘firewall’ preventing access to certain websites, emails and/or apps, even when flying outside of China. I look forward to your take on this Chris when you do your separate Wifi review.

  • Hong Kong Airport Express: in-town checkin

    May 09, 2019, 10:45 AM

    I would advise: Check-in, in town. Take airport express train to airport. Then catch S1 bus from airport to Tung Chung. Once you are done in Tung Chung, take S1 bus back to the airport. Given Tung Chung is very close to airport, the S1 bus service runs regularly (usually at least every 15 minutes...

  • Qantas chauffeur from Heathrow to Gatwick?

    Jan 08, 2019, 11:23 AM

    I very much doubt you will have a problem transferring to Gatwick terminal with the Chauffeur service. If in the very rare chance you do, ask to be taken to the Hilton Gatwick Airport (it’s just across the road from the terminal building).

In addition, i used certain other websites that normally indicate if the flight is sold out, or cancelled. Instead, these websites have had all Australia to Hong Kong Qantas flights for the 24 NO...
