Oct 16, 2024, 02:34 PMI've just tried it--it needs more work on it. Hard to reverse itinerary and I had trouble changing the order of cities and also dates.

What will Qantas charge for direct flights to London, NY?
Jul 26, 2024, 11:22 PMI'm now thinking of having 2 or 3 nights stopover on my next trip to Europe. I don't want to fly for 20+ hours, especially if it's so much dearer.

Qantas freebie: get a stylish luggage tag for your bag
Jul 12, 2024, 03:04 PMYes, I agree with cow, we should all be treated equally. I only fly for leisure, but travel J for long haul. I've just booked a domestic flight MEL-PER-MEL and I'm not paying extra for a 4 hour flight, but flew J last year with Emirates MEL-MAN and ZRH-MEL. I haven't flown Qanta...

Jan 12, 2024, 04:42 PMI did the inside passage with Holland America, so a large ship. I've since done river cruises, Yangtse in China, Mekong in Vietnam/Cambodia and Irrawaddy in Myanmar. I'd hoped to cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest last year, but health issues got in the way. I prefer the smaller ...

COVID-19 vaccine - paid options
Jan 15, 2021, 10:13 PMYes, we should be scared of the virus--just look at the numbers of infections and deaths in the UK and the US, and yes I know that they have bigger populations than we have.

COVID-19 vaccine - paid options
Jan 13, 2021, 03:26 PMEven if you can pay for it, should you? As others have said, it's unlikely anyway as there are limited supplies.

Once travel resumes, where will you be headed?
Jun 15, 2020, 11:50 AMI should have just returned from a 5 week trip to UK, Russia and Switzerland. I booked last August for departure on 5th May and had paid in full for airfare, cruise in Russia and coach tour in Switzerland. Now all my money is held in credit for at least a year. I'm hoping to take the same trip...

Sleeping on flights: pyjamas vs underwear or shorts only
Dec 12, 2018, 09:56 PMI flew to UK this year, wore QANTAS pjs on MH and Oman air. Coming home, I changed into Oman pjs, kept them on to transit Muscat, and when I got to KL. Walked through the lounge to the shower, changed into QANTAS pjs and changesd back when I landed in Melbourne. Nobody seemed to mind.
