You young'uns :) That situation reminds me of everywhere in the world prior to 1996.

I never go to Europe or North/Sth America. But if you want info on a part of the world that I affectionately call "Club eBola"; then let me know.

Well, I have never been to Santiago. How about I will give you 5 of NBO, LOS, ACC, LUN, ADD for one SCL

Hi John, this is way off topic (and I should probably have sent you a PM) but......, but could you answer 3 questions: Is there Visa on Arrival for KRT for Aussies? If not, is the visa process painful? Just returned on Sat from DAR-DXB-MEL on EK J. I frequently do DAR, EBB, ADD, LUN and NBO all...

Juddles, a few things here: 1. I also hate it. Although, I am not exactly sure if our hates are the same. Do you hate the actual flying? I am OK with the flying, I just hate being away from my home life (there was a time though where I did not have a home life of substance, so being away was...

Before all flights, let it be announced which Govt MPs are on the flight and ask the other passengers to thank them for their service.

It was "widely reported and accepted the plane had a technical issue the day before".....because of the tech log leak.

You are overthinking it. The earlier pilots would leak the flight report just to demonstrate to their peers (and the families of the deceased) that they did indeed report the problems. It would be human nature.

If I was one of the 2 pilots on the previous flight, I would be leaking my flight report. The guilt/anger would be too much.

For real Business Travellers, there is no such thing as a DNF list; that would just be silly and impractical. You just take what is on offer and get on with it. Here are the non-stop options from KUL-DEL: Air Asia Malindo (Lion) Air Malaysia Airlines Throw a dart at the board and pick a...

On a recent trip OS, I lost my wallet. Was genuinely surprised that the wallet was not found and returned to me. In the modern world there does not seem much financial gain in keeping a found wallet. Anyway, I flew to Bangkok the next day and the new credit cards were waiting for me at my...

Astroturf, here is where you went wrong. Just re-align your expectations with reality, and you will no longer feel disappointment - nor will you write letters again.

I am unfamiliar with Life Miles. However to see Star Alliance FF availability I use the ana.co.jp website. Then if I cannot redeem on-line (i use Krisflyer), then I call them (but at least I know that the seat is definitely available on that date.)

This seems obvious, but why not just use Star Alliance (Avianca?) FF Points to redeem J on SYD-IAH-PTA. Just use Qantas for the BNE-SYD leg. Looks the perfect flight option: Depart SYD at 10.50AM; Arrive Houston at 10.30AM. Fly on their newish Dreamliner 2 hour transit in IAH Depart IAH at...

Yeah, I was credited the points.
