Hi Team Live on the Central Coast and tend to fly from Sydney but want to try Newcastle. What is the story there? Long term parking? Qantas Club? Anything I need to be aware off? Also flying deathstar in full whY do I get status credits and points? Thanks Gazza

Yeah the beach's look to be the way to go up there.:D There looks to be services on Sunday arvo (most of my away flights would be Sunday nighters) that would take 2 hours with a stop in central. Thats doable.:rolleyes: Apreciate any feedback from Gosfordians. Gazza

Hi Team Looking at a job which (regrettably) is based in North Sydney. Office is in Chatswood and as I have little to no desire to actually live in Sydney I am looking at Gosford as an option. Would be overseas 3 weeks out of 5 so the commute is not as serious an issue for me as it would...

Now that I have your attention. One of my best mates is doing a round the world in Y along with her infant son and partner (I know, I know but she just wont spend the money on J). Most flights are QF/AA/BA. My question is can I make her my "partner" (as in partner Gold). Already have my...

I would take the train/drive option. It really is a great drive. Take your time, enjoy the whitebait fritters. Gazza

Beautiful Drive. Have you considered the train? Gazza

Getting back on topic QF's treatment of staff has a material effect on our travel experience. We all have knowledge of cost cutting in other organisations that is petty and in the long term negative in terms of branding and overall profitability. Because it is not unique to QF does not...

This rocks:cool: Gazza

Without getting into the left vs right debate (where the truth is normally somewhere in the middle). I wish to make one point that people seem to miss when talking about the "footprint" of commercial aviation. Schedulled Commercial flights are public transport. The use of this form of public...

Yeah Recieved an e-mail from one of their CR flunkies to that effect. Strange thing is they would comp status from just about every other program (Marriot, Hilton, Hyatt et all). I can understand not status matching if you have only achieved PC Plat status in a few stays with bonus points...

Hi Looking at switching from PC to SPG:rolleyes: . Need the ph/e-mail contact of someone in authority covering Australia. Anyone got them? Gazza

Can you tell us where you want to stay? Bangkok is a big place and if you have a hotel in mind people here will probably be able to speak from past experience as to travel time. I can tell you that from the Intercon to the airport is about 45 minutes to 1 hour at those time of the day. PS...

I am no Lawyer but have been through the “process” a couple of time (in my youth). There are three main categories of charge: Common Assault – I hit you and it hurts Assault occasioning bodily hard – I hit you with a piece of timber and break your arm Assault causing grievous bodily harm – I...

Everyone take a deep breath.
