  • Is Qantas Club membership worth the price?

    May 25, 2021, 12:56 PM

    And of course, if most of your flying is on regional routes then you often have no Qantas Club at all in at least one direction...

  • Qantas extends Norfolk Island flights from Sydney, Brisbane

    @rodlo: in March, when the parent comment was posted, the NZ bubble hadn't opened yet and all international terminal lounges were still closed.

  • Qantas extends Norfolk Island flights from Sydney, Brisbane

    That was not true when I flew NLK-SYD in J on QF180 last Friday - I got sausages with mash potato, peas and a slice of bread. I don't know what they were serving in Y.Presumably they loaded the meals in Sydney, as you say NLK obviously doesn't have catering facilities, so perhaps there may be cir...

    If you grew up in an immigrant family, as I did, you know that you always, always, always have a current passport with 6 months validity, because who knows what the future holds or what potential emergencies may arise, even in spite of pandemic travel restrictions?Granted, mine doesn't expire unt...

  • Once travel resumes, where will you be headed?

    Jun 12, 2020, 05:04 PM

    I'm considering a trip to Norfolk Island once they've reopened, which I assume will come earlier than international travel to countries outside our potential Trans-Tasman or Asian bubbles. Perfect opportunity to start ticking boxes on my Australian external territories list instead.Everything I'v...

  • Missing space and lower case in spelling of name - different in passport

    Jul 04, 2019, 10:55 AM
