"Welcome to McBank Airlines, in the interests of our directors remuneration please looks at the other side of you safety card for details of our leveraged property projects and the range of stapled securities." Try PER-ZNE via SYD

Can't speak to the credit card situation, as have one that credits automatically to QF. There is the two One World RTW that use the BA, AA, LAN, QF,AY,EI,CX and IB airlines, shedules. These come in two flavours a xONEx, which allows set number of sectors, must cross both Altantic and Pacific...

Boeing 777, 777LR/ER or would they go for the 787-8/9? I thought that the 777 was pitched at the 340, with the mooted 350XWB to be the answer to the 787 dominace on forward orders for aircraft in the 250-330 class? The 787-3 looks like it won't have the range that the 340 does, however the...

As a Perth resident, I wouldn't know but try getting from either A/P if you happen to be delayed or arrive on a late flight. I swear PER (pop 1.5 mill) taxi's stop after 11pm, but in KGI (pop 35,000) there's never a problem, apart from when the swim through known as Diggers is on. Go...

And the A350 looks a long way away at best. Shame, the competition wouldn't hurt anyone.

From ninemsn (-edited to add) "British Airways put out tenders on Wednesday for a long-awaited replacement of its fleet of 114 long-haul Boeing aircraft in a deal that could generate crucial orders for European rival Airbus. Europe's third-biggest airline, which wants to take delivery of the...

I may not fly as much as some ppl in this forum on 'real' QF metal, (a BA-146 seems to be the most common plane that I get on with the 'Roo on the tail). I can't say I've really had a bad flight on QF. My airtime is on average 90% domestic, and of that 50% is would be flights inside WA...

With all the well publicised delays in regards the 380 project, do you think that Qantas will take up it's options for Airbus’s new bit of metal ( 350, the 787 competitor)as it is even further away than the 380 or move lock stock to the new Boeing family i.e. Next Gen 737 for smaller Trunk...

If you fly economy in any US domiciled carried unfortuantly you'll find that to be the case. (Having said that I've only done it twice, could just have been unucky). The T&C's (Link below) will tell you more but form what I can remember the earn rate is on parity with BA and AA, but with a...

As about half of my flights are on charter airlines, I'd hate to think what the BFOD policy advocates (accountants) would think when my travel submission reads PER to Marvel Loch, back to PER(ON), PER-BNE-Maroonbah(ON)-BNE-PER. The cost PER-BNE-PER (QF in whY) was about 35-40% of the total cost...

West wings it to success Steve Creedy July 14, 2006 THE parking squeeze is on at Perth Airport after a healthy 7 per cent growth in traffic in 2005-06 saw it top 7 million passengers for the first time. More than 480,000 additional passengers, most of them domestic, boosted the total...

I have found that the best QP (beverage wise) is in the new ADL, where they have pints of Coopers on tap. I'm not sure if this is a new thing as I can't remember the old QP. If it is I'd like to suggest that they refit the PER QP to provide some of the better WA beers, Little Creatures Pale Ale...

Yup the showers have saved many a life (mine and possibly others) after some trips that I've done recently (PER-BNE, 11hrs O/N, BNE-EMD-BNE-MLB-PER was the most recent shocker in at total of ~35 hrs). And as for the alcohol, that's just there for the fun.:cool:

Ahh yes renovations. Having them done at home so don't get me started. Scheduling travel to be away/ on site for the most part.

Thanks’ for that Yada Yada. The DJ lounges (if they ever arrive, we do get the rugby 2 hours late) would be nice however the PER terminal is arranged so that it would be rather difficult to get from the DJ lounge to the QF flight (Company policy is OneWorld travel only, don't know who thought...
