Royal Brunei direct flights Brisbane Brunei start June 2019
Jan 22, 2019, 05:05 PMBesides the alcohol and Sharia aspects, Brunei airlines will not take Israeli passport holders. Entry into the country by Israeli passport holders/citizens is forbidden. They have no diplomatic relations and the Sultan is very strict about this. There are 14 other countries that ban Israeli citi...

ANA direct non-stop flights Perth Tokyo
Dec 28, 2018, 08:32 AMMost welcome for the flyers in Perth. As well as for the badly aging airport, which needs more landing/takeoff fees for desperately needed airport renovations, especially the surface condition of PER's runways and taxiways which are on par with those in some third world countries! A disgrace, sh...

Singapore Airlines non-stop Singapore-Seattle flights from Sept 2019
Oct 26, 2018, 09:56 AMMost welcome news - SEA needs SQ! Cathay Pacific, starts HKG-SEA non-stop April 2019. Two big wins! Delta dropped that route Oct. 4 in favor of SEA-KIX. YVR misses out, but they already have CX and QF.

Turkish Airlines wants Istanbul-Sydney flights by June 2019
Sep 19, 2018, 02:08 PMWith a new IST airport, and TK's excellent service and network, I can't see this route being a big seller. With BA's non-stop to LHR and many not wanting a really long haul, but are content to transit DXB or SIN to break it up. Add the political, economic and security instability in Turkey and i...

Qantas' new globe-spanning flight squeezes 12 days Into 17 hours
Mar 25, 2018, 03:06 PMI'd rather fly east coast via SIN or DXB, DOH to break up the flight into manageable flight segments.17 hours in one sitting for me is way too long, even in a F or J seat. Hope they have a doctor on board. That or a gym. I don't see this route lasting, not enough demand in Perth - while the east...

My first Qantas first class flight
Jul 20, 2017, 03:25 AMChanged T-1 to T-3 after international flight. Went very smoothly at QF T1 re-check counter and bus ride to domestic terminal. Quiet time in mid-morning, so no mobs to contend with. Flew SYD-MEL. A terrific cabin attendant. Food was roast beef w/caramelized onion sandwich which was ve...

Qantas Airbus A380 First Class will get a "refresh" not a new design
Jun 27, 2017, 04:44 PMSo no moving first to the upper deck then? I will fly QF 380 in F for the first time. From the reviews/photos/videos I think the seat has the right amount of privacy. I've flown F on the old AA F, and on JAL and ANA suites. I prefer the old AA for the open space vice being hemmed in a...

Sydney Airport transfer, from T1 international to T3 domestic
Jun 27, 2017, 02:04 PMOriginally Posted by Theresnormissin : As above 3 hours seems like more than enough time to transfer through Sydney even in very busy times. Two tips. There are customs agents that circulate around the baggage claims area, so feel free to approach and talk to them about the medicine as they may ...

Jun 27, 2017, 09:57 AMArriving SYD at 10 a.m. weekday international then connect to QF T3, one ticket/PNR with checked luggage I have 3 hours to do this, but am concerned if that's enough given my review on other sites about the length of clearing immigration and customs/quarantine process. I had envisione...
