    Do you go with cheapest fare or are you loyal to an airline?

    i'm off to LHR in septmeber. QF was never really an option to me honestly. the thought of the PER- LHR flight in ecconomy was too much. i'm on Emirates though DXB - it;s a nice break in the journey and the IFE on emirates is one of the best in the word.

    Do you go with cheapest fare or are you loyal to an airline?

    Suggestions for a travel destination for September?

    i'm heading to london in september for 2 weeks. the only thing about that for a new flyer is the travel time could be offputitng. weather should still be nice (mid 20's) and half term break would be over as well so less school kids
