    how difficult are flight connections at charles de gaulle

    My partner and I are looking at flights for her grandparents to come to Brisbane and visit us from The Netherlands. Her grandparents have never flown before and this will probably be the one and only big trip they ever take. Cost is somewhat of a consideration but most of the prices are within...

    International Airports- Best and Worst.

    In terms of simplicity I like Brisbane international. Yes its my home city. Theres not a lot of shopping but the emirates lounge is ok and I always find getting through security on departure or coming back through customs a relatively quick and simple task. Its definitely a pretty boring airport...

    Emirates early bird fares and chauffeur

    QF to Europe returns to the Kangaroo Route (via SIN)

    This is good news for me as it looks like I could now fly BNE-LHR on qantas without needing to go to Sydney first which I have done in the past. I have no idea how the flight times line up, but for me personally I only ever travel to Europe when I'm on holidays to visit family so a day or two to...

    Passport reported stolen by somebody else

    Unfortunately the ABF are not interested in hearing about it. When we called they pretty much hung up mid sentence as soon as they found out we were calling about a Dutch passport. At least if the airline will not check us in when leaving the U.S it saves being turned back in Aus after a 13hr...
