• I used the Heathrow Express back in May when I went to London and it was quick and efficient and while I was only in the standard class, I managed to book ahead and get the ticket for £5.50 which was great value to get into the centre of London.

  • In 2019 I had some old UK notes and at that time I had to go to the Bank of England to change them and just recently in July 2022 I was in Switzerland and discovered that a CHF20 note I think it was that I got on a previous visit was no longer accepted but I was able to exchange it at a local ban...

  • I am flying from Sydney to London with JAL on the 28th May and back from Paris on the 30th August and at the moment you are free to transit in Japan provided you do so at the same airport. At this stage the Paris flight arrives at Haneda and the flight to Sydney departs Haneda so there is no prob...

  • I am flying to the UK on the 28th May via Japan and a few days later travelling by Eurostar to Paris and according to the Eurostar website all I need as triple vaccinated is my international covid certificate from the Australian government. Also from what I understand it is now pretty easy to mov...

  • I have enjoyed Finnair several times when travelling from Singapore and Hong Kong to Europe connecting from another airline from Brisbane and the seats look interesting but wonder how the seatbelt will work when you are in some of the possible positions as with a regular lie flat type of business...

  • For the money in the past Finnair have had some great deals from Australia to Europe in business class via Helsinki with connections usually in Singapore or Hong Kong with either QF or CX. the only downside is the final flight from Helsinki to your final European destination which can be a 3 hour...

  • That is the best news I have had for a while I took the gamble back in late April 2021 to grab a seat as a classic award through Qantas on CX to London for April 2022 which really wasn't a gamble as Qantas was offering free cancellations on classic awards hoping that 1 we would be able to leave a...

  • On the 23/9 at 4.48pm I called Qantas as I was trying to book  classic reward flight that was available but when I got to the final part where it tells you how much the taxes are I got a message that read something like "we can't find a fare for your journey" so I called them and as quoted a...

  • Does this mean the government will be removing countries from the "DO NOT TRAVEL" list so that those of us that do travel will be covered by travel insurance. I have had conflicting information from travel agents after checking with insurance companies and the companies themselves some saying the...

  • I would think the chance of getting a business class seat on any Qantas flight apart from the special points flights will be about the same as before the pandemic. It seems that for some reason Qantas would rather have their loyal customers with points fly on another airlines aircraft in business...

  • I have had my first vaccination in early June and am due for my second at the end of August and once I am as fully protected as what seems to be the accepted level of full vaccination I want to be able to travel without having to pay around $2500 to stay 2 weeks in a hotel in Australia. I am luck...

  • Couldn't the crews who have to be quarantined in HK stay there for 2 days then fly back to the city they came from then back to HK and do another 2 days and so on a bit like groundhog day then after a couple of weeks of this do the 14 days and be allowed to enter HK. I would assume there would be...

  • Sad to see them all there and I hope they come back into service soon. While it is sad seeing them in the desert have you seen the google earth image of JFK, not exactly sure when it was taken it says c2021 but I first noticed it last year but while I have not gone through it metre by metre there...

  • I love the A350 and am currently booked to fly Brisbane to Hong Kong to Paris on the 10/5/21 in business though I doubt I will actually be going given the current circumstances but Qantas has again extended the free cancellation deadline until the 31/3/21.

  • Wish I had read this post before some others, I have a ton of QFF points that I can't use because of restrictions that I hope to use for at least one-way in first on Emirates when we can travel again and it is safe.
