Hey all! My daughter was denied boarding for her flight this morning departing the UK to Vancouver via Dallas due to not having an ESTA. She applied for one instantly and has been notified that it can take up to 72hrs to be processed although approx 90% of cases are approved within the hr. She...

Booked Air New Zealand Fiji to Perth via Auckland with a 2 hr transit. Weeks later ANZ emailed asking me to ring as Auckland to Perth leg cancelled & I was rebooked the next day. This meant a stay overnight. On ringing I was not offered but had to ask about accomodation which after a very...

Hi all, the older threads on this were locked and I wanted to see if there were more recent experiences. I've got an upcoming YYZ-LAX-SYD trip, YYZ-LAX on Westjet (QF coded) with an approx. 10 hour connection for QF12 LAX-SYD. I'm aware that Westjet will tag my bag through to SYD but with the...

Hi, first time at LAX. Will be on incoming flight LATAM to Tom Bradley at 6pm and out again at 10pm via QF from same terminal, on one ticket. How long should I expect it to take to get bags, clear customs and immigration and check in for QF flight? Could some nice person take me through exactly...

This is my first post so hopefully am in the right place... We are flying to Auckland on Qantas and then flying from Auckland to Dubai on Emirates. Both are reward flights using Qantas FF points As they are different airlines, do we need to clear customs when we arrive at Auckland and then check...

Hi - I'm looking to book 3 tickets for PER->MEX next year but want to do a 1 week layover in LAX. Now if I book a return ticket its currently around $1550 via LAX but its around $1830 for the multicity. The return ticket allows a stopover at LAX at $100pp + taxes I believe so it would seem that...

I will be arriving HKG on QF127 at about 1600 and will transfer by CKS ferry to China at 2030 thru Skypier located at the transfer area E2. Given the long wait - would it be possible for me to visit some of the shops in the departure gates in the departures area and then return to the transit...

I'm looking at business MEL-LHR-OSL on QF Booking on-line for the business sale and saver fares, the LHR-OSL flight using BA will be in economy. Do I have access to the BA lounge (a shower is what I want) on the basis of the QF MEL-LHR business ticket and I'm in transit? (I no longer have any...

Hopefully I've posted this question in the right place, and it's not intended as a political observation in any way. My son (16) is travelling with a school group to Europe in early November and returning late December, and HKG is the lay-over stop in both directions. I asked the school if...

Two of us have just booked flights to Europe for next July and will have a 7 hour transit stop in HKG. Looking for ideas on how best to use the time. We land at 17:20 and depart at 00:25. it's a day flight from Melbourne so we won't be needing to sleep. We're flying in on Qantas in J and out on...

Hi all Just wondering if I need a transit visa if flying on Saudia or Kuwait airlines from Asia to UK. Thanks

While helping a friend find a last minute J fare SYD-xx_-JFK (or EWR) (and return a week later) - noticed that itineraries which transit HKG (on CX) were among the most expensive. I was surprised that CX were not discounting such fares as many passengers would not wish to risk a HKG connection...

Flying SYD-BNE-NRT on QF on one ticket, I presume the luggage would be through checked to NRT? Is there anywhere on the QF website that talks about the policy for this? Cheers

I'm trying to work out a few stops of my round the world trip in a few months time. (yeah, I know, locking things in late again 😅) I've worked out start and end, need to work out stops in the middle. Stop in Europe, flying in to LHR on QF1. I had locked in CPH, but then I saw that it was a T5...
