    F Award: 747 from Syd, or A380 from Melb?

    I agree wholeheartedly - I'm based in BNE, and if the choice is fly from BNE or head for the airport 2 hours earlier to take an Int leg out of SYD, there's no contest.

    Why did you choose your avatar / what does it mean to you?

    I have to say that Chilli looks indecently comfortable in that photo. What breed is she?

    Why did you choose your avatar / what does it mean to you?

    Anat0l, when I read some "older" posts where you linked to your "5A' gallery, I kicked myself for not doing the same - I burned some points for an F upgrade SIN-LHR, and got 1A - would have made a nice photo. But I guess it would just seem derivative now. :)

    Why did you choose your avatar / what does it mean to you?

    OK - that answers Q1 - but why did you choose them as your avatar? P.S. Honest answers are good, but funny / strange answers get extra credit ;)

    Why did you choose your avatar / what does it mean to you?

    I've been a lurker on AFF for a while now, but haven't had time to spend here until the last 3 weeks (stuck in SCL, and in the break between semester 1 and 2). In this time, I've read a lot of posts from a lot of posters, and one thing that struck me was the variety of avatars that AFFers have...

    Earn Points and SCs with Any Seat Award Flights

    Plus whatever it takes to get from BNE-ADL and back (given that I am based in BNE) and 2 nights in TSV? :shock::shock: Better to spend 1 night in HBA (although with 2 heads) :lol::lol::lol:

    Earn Points and SCs with Any Seat Award Flights

    This probably isn't the right place to ask questions about value for points expended, but there seems to be a lot of knowledgeable posts so far in this thread, so I'll ask anyway. I'm returning from SCL to BNE later this month, which will leave me 380SC short of platinum requal this year (its...

    Seat Map/Availability Question [and "Selling J seats" for Y prices]

    re: Seat Map/Availability Question [and "Selling J seats" for Y prices] Would that mean that they have been sold but not yet allocated?

    Seat Map/Availability Question [and "Selling J seats" for Y prices]

    re: Seat Map/Availability Question [and "Selling J seats" for Y prices] Thanks serfty - that would explain it. Although the J prices on QF looked like "real" J prices when I checked.

    Seat Map/Availability Question [and "Selling J seats" for Y prices]

    I just changed dates for my M booking SCL - AKL - BNE from 13/07/10 to 20/07/10 by ringing QF. Prior to this, I checked EF and it told me that availability was was J4 D2 I2 Y1, so I figured I was going to get hit with a chunky fee to change up to Y. However, when I rang QF, they said that...

    Humbly request advice re OW v *A

    Thanks docjames - it turned out to be a good thought too - I apologise unreservedly for my skepticism. I talked with a Mexican colleague who uses AM all the time, and he recommends them highly. Also, the DL - VA connection looks good as well. I managed to sweet talk QF into a seat on the...

    Humbly request advice re OW v *A

    Thanks for the input guys - much appreciated. Took me a while to read your posts - I think the "broadband" connection upstream of the wireless AP of the apartment I'm in is actually a cage of carrier pigeons, with failover to a smoke signal generator. True, its not mixing with great...

    Biggest Airport Rip-Offs?

    And the $5 per person that you get hit for on the Airtrain to go from Int to Dom. I know that its free if you have a BP for a connecting flight, but there has been several times when my routing has taken me out from Dom, and back into BNE Int - so no BP.

    And build LOTS of roundabouts. :lol:

    New Oz PM

    Well, they could always emulate southern QLD, and put the capital in the south - perhaps Rockhampton. Or better yet, Mt Morgan :p

    Humbly request advice re OW v *A

    Hi Folks, I'm looking for some advice from the wiser heads on this forum. I've got 2 things I need to work out, and the first leads to the second. I'm currently in SCL, with a return booked for 13/07/10 AKL-BNE with QF on an M fare. It looks like I'm going to have to stay in SCL for an...

    Virgin Blue perception

    Not really relevant to the topic, but I was amused by the typo on the AFF home page. Does this mean that the third category is composed mostly of the deaf (and/or signifcantly hearing impaired, to be politically correct)??

    AF A380 LHR-CDG? Does this make sense

    I assume from the quote that this is an AF offering. So, perhaps the full load sector (i.e. best yield) is into LHR, and maybe the AF service base is CDG - in which case it would make sense for AF to sell seats on what would otherwise be a deadhead run. P.S. Sorry if the above doesn't make...
