There is another way of thinking of it rather than smuggling. By the time you bring the handbag back (yes, I'm a man and I don't understand handbags - thanks for pointing that out 😂) it will be used/secondhand and you will, presumably, be keeping it for personal use. Smuggling is generally the...

Made a TRS claim 2 weeks ago for $2,400, told the officer that I would be declaring on the way back. She asked why, I said because that’s the law. She giggled. Came back in, declared the goods. The officer asked if I had used it overseas, I said yes, that’s why I purchased it. He immediately...

Thank you thank you, thank you Matt. We had the itinerary from hell getting from BNE to the USA next March/April. Economy to HKG to get business to Taipei and half the group had to fly to LAX while the other half went to ONT, then on the way back LAX to NRT for half and the other half SFO to...

There are going to be a lot of people who are going to get very excited that they have been "upgraded" when they see 2A and 2B and 3A and 3B on their boarding passes only to discover that there are no B seats in Business and that is a boarding group and not a seat number. It's going to happen. 😂

Haha, read Sakhalin and Russia and saw the rest of the sentence as “the coldest 737“ you had ever been on o_O

Might I be so bold as to reopen discussion on the possibility/potential of this amazing event occurring?

No, it sounds like the laptop was used overseas for 15 months, so it would not need to be declared.

Excellent everyone, thanks for the feedback. Good to know :)

Been trying to make contact with QANTAS since Wednesday regarding the state of a tyre on one of their Dash 8-400's but there seems to be no easy way to do so, so, of course, trying the resources at AFF. Saw this on QF2376 BNE to HVB on Wednesday Nov 9th. VH-QOF. Seems to me that the tyre should...

The most highly anticipated airside airport tour of all time, worldwide, has yet to occur and I can't wait.This is going to be huge, eventually. ;)

Keep us updated.

Thanks Bill. Confusing Fiji Airways and the QANTAS Fiji call centre didn't occur to me at the outset. Well moderated :)

You’re right, one would think that selling a seat for full price that is unoccupied and has no baggage allowance would be the holy grail of commercial aviation. Tick a box for (almost) free money.

Yes, QANTAS. I LOVE Fiji Airways.

I'm reaching the point where I am afraid that people might think I'm just whinging, but here we go anyway. Wanted to book a complex (sarcasm) itinerary from Hervey Bay to Sydney return in December. As I wanted a "comfort seat", EXST, I can only do so by calling the call centre. Told 15 minute...
