But the J lounge is not overcrowded. The only reason the Qantas Club gets closed is that both lounges are deserted at these times. This is sounding a lot like the people who pay full price for business and complain that other passengers have upgraded there on points.

This has happened in Canberra for a long time on mornings when it is expected to be quiet - mostly Saturdays and Sundays but also some public holidays and around Christmas. Not sure what the complaint is? You're being given exactly what you're entitled to - access to the business lounge. Are...

Depends on the airline, but many will give return ticket pricing on open jaws where the two "open" cities are in the same general region. e.g. Qantas gives return pricing on an open jaw between Australia and any of its North American destinations (LAX, SFO, DFW, JFK, YVR) even when there are...

In emails purporting to be from Ryan Air to customers, sure. Internal emails? Honestly I'm surprised there was only one spelling mistake. Email is seen as a less formal means of communication and is treated accordingly.

Seems like it just sucks you into an opportunity to receive a sales pitch?

Qantas flights *to* Europe are not subject to EU261 because Qantas is not an EU airline. Qantas seems to accept that it is subject to EU261 for flights *from* Europe: https://www.qantas.com/infodetail/flying/beforeYouTravel/EC261_2004.pdf Note though that under EU261 there is no cash...

The Qantas livery on a 747 is just about perfect, I reckon. The only thing that comes close is an MD-80 in the classic AA livery. Those planes really look like they are going somewhere.

A trip to news.com.au reveals it is their preferred style to capitalise the first word of an article. Where the first word is less than three letters, they also capitalise the second word. Granted, there are a couple of articles there now that don't apply that style, but those are the exception...

Windows open for takeoff and landing is not mandated by the FAA or EASA. It is up to airlines to set their own procedures - neither BA nor AA mandate it.

I was curious and tried it. The Qantas multi-city booking form will not accept any booking with a segment originating in Hong Kong unless it is part of an Australia-HKG-Australia itinerary (including connections through Australia to other countries). i.e. The flight out of HKG has to be to...

Is there a particular reason you don't want to book through expedia? Qantas *should* be able to price this itinerary over the phone. However, in my experience, there will be a huge premium - possibly several thousand dollars. I've queried it in the past and was told, in a friendly way, that if...

Why would that explain its presence in Gladstone...

>how noisy are they a few kilometres from an airport when flying at an altitude of say 3,000 feet or lower? In my experience the noise travels further but isn't as loud. i.e. You can hear the turboprop coming from further away than a jet, but when directly overhead the jet is louder. For a...

The home owner bought knowing there was an airport *with a statutory curfew and movement limit*.

I took my dream flight earlier his year - upstairs on a Qantas Jumbo jet. You see, when I was 6 years old, my family took a trip to New Zealand. My parents loved to be places early, and we arrived at the airport hours before check-in even opened. This was back when the old International...

Not necessarily. You can have two separate ticket numbers (for one person) on one PNR.

The bus arrives landside in both directions. That requires clearing security again (and immigration at the international terminal). Regardless of which side of the airport fence the bus travels on, that's a landside transfer in my book.

It's always rough having to book Y when J is cheaper because that's what the rules say. I'm sure there's an alarm in the CEO's office that rings whenever J is booked on the company account.

Re: Trump to suspend VWP? [No!] Pizzagate: People looked at documents and saw what they wanted to see - evidence that their non-preferred candidate was up to no good. They published a story without any serious thought about whether the allegations were real because they knew their audience...
