My experience with Hertz , Sydney Airport in July, 2014 left an indelible impression. We'd pre booked a nice car, specifically requesting a white one and used the Gold 5* to upgrade it (Off to a wedding ), landed in Syd and went to pick up the car in the dingy car park at domestic right on...

Hiya Chris,now that sounds rather a splendid suggestion. We just got cancelled from tonight's flight, I'm looking at alternatives. AIR ASIAS prices just went from $300 odd each seat to somewhere north of $900. On an altogether different note, we went to arguably the best Italian restaurant in...

I am in Seminyak too, been stuck since the 8th, rebooked on Virgin on the 15th, a weeks delay. We're in a nice hotel, with insurance cover,heard of people that aren't so fortunate. Guess it's a waiting game now.

Some kids just cannot be settled , doesn't matter how much the parents try. They make drugs for children too, they can be tranquilised. A potion every once in a while isn't going to harm them, nor turn them in to raving drug fiends.

Nice first post there, "Blackdog"

Odd, I too recently had a DRW -BNE flight,19th December 2014, booked seat 5C, got to the gate and had been bumped back to row 12.

Sounds like the OP is off to the Taza PSC. The most dangerous parts are driving to Jacksons and the helicopter from DBX-ISU in Kurdistan to site.

The plot evolves! Here's a cut & paste from AMEX regarding the Hertz Sydney Airport scammers , sounds like they knew the jig was up! "We're writing to update you on the status of your billing enquiry with HERTZ AUSTRALIA PTY LTD in the amount of $ 646.45. The merchant has not provided us...

You've read the magazines back to front, watched all the in flight entertainment, eaten your way up and down the menu, can recite the safety demonstration word perfect and in different accents and languages, your travel clothes are all scanner friendly, getting picked yet again for a...

It's really interesting and encouraging to hear of others having similar issues with Hertz at Sydney Aiport. Dodgy doesnt come close to these underhanded practices, it sounds polished and well rehearsed. Are they in cahoots with a friendly repair mob? Do they just whack a figure through on a...

Hertz Sydney Airport? Never again. Rented a car on Friday afternoon,first car offered was so badly dented and scratched we asked for a different one,it too was damaged, pointed out the existing damage, was told not to worry and on returning the car they've tried it on. They are trying it on to...

Did it have a lid? Flying in Eastern Europe, West Africa, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands tends to inure you to what would be considered bizarre or possibly dangerous in many other parts.
