    Question on Qantas status

    Thanks for your thoughts and information. My main concern with VA is they only fly to ASP 3 times a week and with Qantas i can leave at 1.30pm on the Friday and be back in ASP at lunchtime on Monday. It is food for thought and i will have to weigh up both options.

    Need to fly two sectors for Gold requalification

    I would think a quick trip up to the Gold Coast and back would do it. Their are plenty of flights and quite cheap. Just received a V-mail saying from $79 to fly between April and June.
