Qantas to fly Sydney-Vancouver all year round

Sep 15, 2021, 08:28 AM

And don't forget that passing through Vancouver to US destinations allows you to pre-clear US immigration in Vancouver, avoiding delays at the US end of the trip. This can be quite a time saver.
Australia completes trial of home quarantine for overseas arrivals

Sep 03, 2021, 06:57 PM

Exactly. As a fully vaccinated Australian (with Pfizer since April) living in California what risk exactly do I now pose to either NSW or Victoria if I’m tested before departure and after arrival? The old days of zero covid are over for Australia, so should the forced hotel quar...

Hardly a suprise. Demand will return quickly next year.

This is good news; I’m Platinum and lifetime gold so a loyal Qantas customer but haven’t been on a Qantas flight since November 2019. My flights to Australia in October were cancelled due to the reduction in arrival numbers, heaven knows when I’ll see the inside of a Qanta...

Qantas FF and coronavirus

Mar 11, 2020, 07:29 AM

Am I eligible to use to a lounge in LAX?

I'd use the Flagship lounge. The Qantas 1st lounge isn't what it used to be, and the AA lounge has one important benefit: windows!
Maximising QF status credits with transcontinental AA flights - LAX>MIA

I can't really add go the SC question but I have a place 10 minutes from John Wayne (SNA) and fly out of there on AA a lot. I generally fly to either Dallas or Chicago and connect from there. Phoenix is OK but there are more options via DFW.
New layout for the forum is really bad

Sad to say my time on this site has dropped off hugely since the changes. As much as I've enjoyed AusBT over the last few years this new site give little value, it's way to much weighted towards product placement and marketing dressed up as news items. I'm not after a lifestyle site, I'm after ...

Looking at Alexa, the new site is tracking up but after 2 months is still lower ranked than the old one. I can't see the actual stats so don't know the combined numbers (there are still people going to ausbt.com.au and being redirected).
