    Rex heads north of the border, from.... Lismore.

    Looks likely Regional Express will add a new inter-state route from Lismore to Brisbane, to enable Rex to service the Brisbane to Maryborough route announced last week. Airline travel is taking off - Lismore Northern Star - 2007-08-08 08:00:00.0 - localnews

    Virgin buys 20% of Air Asia X

    i.e. CASA Civil Aviation Safety Authority regulations, just like Australia's airlines. Only if they want to fly into SYD, MEL, BNE or PER! i.e. foreign airlines wanting to operate to; e.g. OOL, NTL, AVV, ADL - do not have red tape to struggle through. (*Free Trade Agreements may also effect...

    What does 'Passive Rentension' on a flight booking mean?

    :) I assume you are using the latest "Internet Explorer" on Windows... if so, down in the bottom right corner is a + magnifying glass 100%. Click it once to make the page you are viewing 25% bigger, click twice for 50%, and the third click takes it all back to normal sizes! The post modern...

    What does 'Passive Rentension' on a flight booking mean?

    I use it to whisper, or direct a thought. Perhaps it is a post-modern writing style, evolving from Marshal McLuhan’s claim – “the medium is the message”. It’s also industrial – in an advertising & legal industry sense. Perhaps I LOVE “pop art” ala Robert Indiana. At a base level, I like the...

    What does 'Passive Rentension' on a flight booking mean?

    Ooops, yes there is ;) Although, I thought, from postings on AFF - QF used the term CIP (Commercially Important Person)... as to acknowledge someone as a "Passive Retentive", before they fly, would seem anachronistic! Perhaps, if you're not a rock/movie star, pollie or person of commercial...

    Yellow Fever Vaccination

    There is a "significant risk" involved in taking that shot itself, and it should be avoided if at all possible... of course - consult your G.P. for professional advice! & a relevant database - e.g. IATA via Virgin Nigeria - VNA Health & Visa information

    On line check in

    Oh no, I sound like such a snob in that previous post… LOL Hmmmm, "the Qantas preferential seating lure"… works for me (currently, as Platinum) - certainly doesn’t work so well* for those at the "mid range" levels of Silver or Qantas Club. (*Examples, as previously posted in other threads...

    Flat beds in Economy??

    I think your flying balls idea is interesting, but my guess is (And my fuel burning computational skills, are not as good as your demonstrated rocket science understanding)… a Space Lift – Space Lifts could be installed at major airports around the planet, and they would haul us up and out...
