Compared: Emirates A380 first class vs business class

May 28, 2023, 01:14 PM

OK, I have flown both airlines in Bus to and from NZ from a regional base. EK wins the 'bling and wow' rating for the hard product, but their service and food, especially the food can be very average. Yes, I know this is a big call, but it is a lived experience. Maybe I just chose 'wrong' f...

May 07, 2023, 09:58 AM

Firstly, I only use carry-on luggage, even for longer trips of 3-4 weeks. Yes, you can manage, you just need to plan, but walking through Singapore with a heavy 'double' jacket in Nov-Jan does raise a few eyebrows.My 'go-to' bag is a Samsonite hard case and has worn out several QF tags over...

What makes a perfect ‘work from hotel’ space?

Apr 08, 2023, 09:17 AM

Home....!!!What is the 'thing' with fast internet? We use 5G from our phones and an authenticator app to ensure all comms are secure. Yes, this is great in AUS and some other areas of the world, but really crappy for parts of the EU, UK and Ireland (R). However, security should ...

Status extension conundrum

Worst case is you ask and there's no positive reply...If you don't ask you'll never know, so ask 'nicely'.I have benefited from this many years ago.
Air France - QF partnership extra luggage allowance

Jan 06, 2023, 11:22 AM

Vitorsyd, AF does not have a 'partnership' with QF except to say that you can book AF flights through QF using FF points. This will not recognise your Silver FF, but, if you fly business which is not too many more FF points you get increased checked luggage allowance and access to lounges etc (t...
Why bother with Qantas?

Jan 02, 2023, 11:03 AM

An update...All flights departed and arrived roughly on time or slightly ahead of time etc...since only used carry-on luggage there were no issues there either.Flights booked on-line through QF using points for BA and AF (inc HOP), excellent, no issues.When transiting at CDG with AF leave plenty ...
