    FCO Minimum Transit Time

    Thanks all. I should have included that we are on separate tickets and this was what was causing me the most angst, I hate the worry of things coming apart if our inbound flight gets delayed or we get held up in immigration/customs etc.. Mrs MikedOut is saying we have plenty of time for the...

    FCO Minimum Transit Time

    Hi all, would appreciate if anyone is able to provide any advice on minimum connection times in Rome. We'll be flying in on Cathay arriving in FCO (T3) at 7:35am on a Monday morning. We then need to get to a connecting domestic Alitalia flight (T1) departing at 10:45am. Looking at the website we...

    First time flying Cathay (Business) Brisbane to London - what to expect?

    Marginally off topic....but sort of related. Flying CX J Syd to London, does anyone know if you can take a soft garment bag (i.e. suit bag) on as well as a 'normal' carry-on bag? The web site seems to say no but I thought I'd check on others experience.

    Qantas slashing jobs and possibly selling FF program?

    It will be interesting to see how Christmas plays out. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Mr Joyce throws another blackmail tizzy and shuts it down for a few days. I'm glad I'm not flying anywhere this Christmas.

    Frequent Flyers sue BA over 'bogus' fuel surcharges...

    Even if it did given them some ammunition they wouldn't find anything. The ACCC never find anything...... Hope someone does launch a similar action here though....Slater and Gordon are you listening.

    Losing Gold....QPub reinstatement question

    Hi, I'm not going to requalify for Gold when my status year runs out on 31 January so I should get the remainder of my QP membership (until April). QFF have confirmed that's how it will work but I have a trip to the US in early February and want to access the QC here in SYD on the way out and...

    Fat Fliers and the new wider seats

    I'm not sure that's quite right. You aren't informed on booking that you are going to have a "large framed person" sitting next to you. If you did you could make that choice. Until then, we are subject to the seating lottery that you don't know who will be next to you until you actually get in...
