    Why JetStar

    I do not care why they did it.Theyare making a mess of Qantas this gives them another go.I have flown Jetstar only once from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur.The seats wee packed so close together to me it was a safety hazard. A good recipe for injury in the advent of any problems.In February just gone...

    Is Alan Joyce doing a good job?

    Why would chanfing the investment make such a big difference.He needs to engage in some public relations and get people flying in the aerplans he has got.Better fares, better baggage allownaces.When have they made some real discounts to the FFlyer rates. With some other airlines you can fly same...

    Is Alan Joyce doing a good job?

    Obviously Qantas has some future.But the continued bleating from Joyce as he plays all cards to try and get his way, which as an outsider seems to be his way or the highway.1< He blames foreign carriers, but forgets Jetsatra Asia and also where Jetstar Asia is flying.2. He blocked singapore...

    Price discrimination - tourists pay 5x what locals pay

    Try booking a cruise in Aus, get your price and then try through a USA site. Quite often thousand dollars or so less in USA. And they are not allowed to sell to Australia. My friend asked y the difference and was told because we don't tip?? Try booking a rent a car from Aus and USA, see if you...

    Can AirAsiaX get away with this?

    I thought Air Asia did a refund. Secondly their Premium Economy is not worth the money. Not overly comfortable. And generally speaking Malaysia Airlines will give you a return economy for about same money. Whih includes your luggage, entertainment, decent food and WINE and yes sir! As for the...

    Has any QFF's switched over to Virgin, or may?

    I switched when I went with 2 cases to travel to Cairns just a little while back and the combined weight was 18kg. However because I had 2 cases I had to pay an extra $20 for the second one. If I get a larger case to put more in it I would have trouble lifting it in out of the boot.Mr.Joyce...

    Qantas A DISGRACE

    One mistake we are all making is calling them our National Carrier. Why they are listed on the stock exchange as a public company. There is no allegiance by Qantas to the Australian people. Why is not Virgin regarded as same. All of the mechanical failures that are happening are fact, not...

    Air Asia..No Alcohol in Luggage

    With Air Asia, and I suppose other airlines would be be doing it too, you would be entitled to wonder whether they have some sort of involvement with the duty free shop as to regards to commission/ kickbacks. Alcohol at high temp maybe could be lit I do not know. A lot of people see cooking...

    Skytrax airline of the year 10 finalists for 2010 ... no surprises

    Well 2 other members have pointed out legal facts re Montreal Convention here above. It seems Mas talk with forked tongue. They sign an international agreement and then try and weasel there way out of it. looks good to help claims of 5 star airline, but in reality Air Asia and Mas about a dead...

    Air Asia..No Alcohol in Luggage

    Well apart from being quite narrow,Difficult to roll over, there is plenty of adjustments(no intructions so find out yourself), but when you extend out, from the backside on is significantly downwards and down under the seat in front. There is fair length, but it is also hard and of course...
