    Trying to get a QFF Prem Economy seat to the US Dec - Jan for a decent price

    If I can figure out a way to go in Prem Econ I will go pretty well anywhere within reason. I quite like HKG so I could even do a stopover. I'd prefer not to go to Perth and back as it seems I would be doing 16 hours of flying extra. 4 to PER, 4 flying back over MEL on my way over and the reverse...

    Trying to get a QFF Prem Economy seat to the US Dec - Jan for a decent price

    Thanks macrop. I figured I would be pushing it uphill. I could do the trip in economy but it's not a pleasant experience as most know. Fred, I do not care about wine ( don't drink it ) and I find even economy meals are usually passable these days. I don't mind a trip to ADL to leave as most...

    Suggestion for pad/netbook to travel with

    I just did 3 weeks with a 7 inch Android Tablet. No issues with it but I am not sure I want to do it again. I may just stump up for something like an ultrabook. A 10 inch tablet is almost at a small ultrabook size... though a lot cheaper. I HATE on screen keyboards and the lack of processing...

    Trying to get a QFF Prem Economy seat to the US Dec - Jan for a decent price

    We've done it hard over the last few years and I want to treat her... and myself to a white Christmas in the US. Or at the least a cold Christmas. I have spent some time looking at fares (both QFF points and paid). Clearly being the Christmas period the prices are more. I have enough points to...

    Getting a Job O/S - US in particular.

    The 'what job do you do' thread has reawakened my interest in getting a job overseas. I love travelling and spending a couple of years or more in a new country is one way of getting into it. Has anyone applied for and got a job in the States in particular? I am after sites, people to approach...

    Has anyone here *never* been in Business or First?

    I have only been in business once and that was pure luck on an upgrade. I have never even looked into the first class cabin.

    Qantas Club Access Denied

    I must be the only one on Leftrudder's side completely. I was annoyed enough that when I took a points flight on Cathay I couldn't use the QC but the logic was there. In this case leftrudder got a Qantas ticket. I don't see what there is to discuss. If Qantas sell a fare as Qantas and not a...

    Tiger Airways Australia to hub at MEL

    perhaps, though the 8 buck fares from perth to singapore isn't too bad... though I don't expect them from Melbourne to anywhere interesting for that much.

    You've just created a terrorist!

    I gather he is a serial idiot anyway. I wonder if airlines have a 'black list'.

    Tiger Airways Australia to hub at MEL

    I personally think it's great. Domestic doesn't bother me much but travel to asia will drop like a stone, as I like travelling there it's enough to make me smile ... almost. Australia is big enough to support another airline IMO but I expect that the lions ( tiger ?? ) share of it's...
