  • Australians will soon need a travel permit to visit the UK

    Sep 11, 2024, 08:25 PM

    The article emphasises plane journeys, which is how most would get to The UK. However, is it correct to assume that the requirement for an UK ETA will also apply to travellers by ferry and/or car/bus/train? By contrast, the Canadian ETA only applies for plane journeys with land visitors from...

  • How to speed up your Australian passport renewal

    Jun 12, 2022, 02:00 AM

    Another consideration for the new government is to allow dual-citizen Aussies to enter/exit the country with a foreign passport and some proof of citizenship attached to it (like New Zealand) or by travelling with the citizenship certificate.

  • New mandatory QLD border pass for all domestic, overseas arrivals

    Perhaps this will give credit card concierge staff some additional work. I wonder if they are prepared to answer questions about internal borders in Australia, especially if the agents themselves are based offshore.

  • Emirates brings A380s back to Australia, New Zealand

    Perhaps they could at least implement green lane on the departure flights from NZ to AU and/or AU to SG as a staring point.

  • Emirates brings A380s back to Australia, New Zealand

    Hi Chris, I thought EK’s flights from AU to Singapore were from BNE rather than MEL or perhaps both? Any news on whether BNE would be reinstated alongside MEL pending borders and travel conditions?

  • Any news about ETA to UK?

    Good question, Serg. I too have been curious about it. I’m travelling mid-August and can enquire at the border and update the response here afterwards.

  • Air France - QF partnership extra luggage allowance

    Jan 06, 2023, 02:01 PM

    Thanks @Clancy. I wish Qantas would update their website accordingly, because Air France insists their agreement is purely for earning and burning points. In any case, I considered flying business, but with 2 passengers in tow the points would add up quickly. However, the fees and taxes for Busi...

  • Air France - QF partnership extra luggage allowance

    Jan 05, 2023, 03:25 PM

    Unfortunately the Qantas call was a joke. Firstly, the agent tried to push me to contact Air France, then they read an extract from the Qantas website saying online check-in and purchasing additional luggage in advance are not available with Air France - not the point of my question really.I the...

  • Velocity reward changes for partner airlines in October
