  • 23-hour marathon: Qantas set for Sydney-New York flights

    May 12, 2023, 03:45 PM

    Qantas first said that they were going to restart the JFK flights via AKL before NZ did. NZ was able to start their AKL-JFK flights before QF because they had the aircraft to do so, while Qantas had to wait for new 787s to arrive (787s which were due to arrive in 2020, then got delayed due to the...

  • Qantas extends travel credit use-by date to December 2024

    Mar 17, 2023, 09:11 PM

    In 2021, while the New Zealand travel bubble was open, I booked a 1 week trip to NZ (CBR-AKL via MEL each way).Sydney then got Covid and exported it to the rest of the east coast. NZ closed the travel bubble to NSW, then later everywhere else, so my flights were cancelled.Qantas never gave me an ...

  • Why Qantas has permanently closed these international lounges

    Feb 01, 2023, 05:28 PM

    JAL had 2 lounge areas at the Haneda International terminal. One near the immigration/security area across from gate 112, another towards the newer part of the terminal near the gate 140-149 wing (the gates the old QF 747 flights used to use).The lounges were in the middle of a refit period when ...

  • Japan entry

    Japan hit 10 million total cases yesterday. Their daily cases have been raising each day for the past 2 weeks. The newest daily figures are about the same as the peak of the last wave in Feb (~100k/day).The government is considering adding new measures but have thus far ruled out new restrictions...

    I haven't seen/heard any new rumors about Japans border since they started the package tour thing.Everyone has been expecting that nothing will be considered with the election, which was this past weekend.They've delayed a domestic travel campaign with the local case loads starting to increase ag...

  • IATA Vaccination Passport
