Guess thats what they're counting on...fwiw, I pay no fees with my Bankwest Zero transaction account and get a free MasterCard Debit Card thrown in, so this "discount" is a welcome development.

Flight Centre 'punishing' airlines | Travel News | News.com.au Based on this information thats just come to hand, I believe that the sympathy displayed for Flight Centre's plight thus far may in fact be quite unwarranted. They're obviously not happy with the dirt cheap airfares being offered...

Maybe not just exit row seats they are going to charge for, but for any seat with more than your standard 31" Legroom to London is no longer going begging - Plane Talking

Qantas to Sell Exit Seats Duplicated thread...

It is a rort if you fly Tiger or Virgin, where no CC alternative currently exists

How could this been avoided were you flying Qantas? :confused:

AA appeared to have followed suit with some excellent fares to the U.S. from all mainland capitals, up until December (via Tokyo I believe). ie: Best Fare from Sydney Travel period: Apr 1 - May 30, Sep 1 - Dec 9, 2009 Los Angeles from AUD 899 return Las Vegas from AUD 1,049...

Surely an argument for full liberalisation of air routes to/from Australia? IMHO, Qantas' level of influence on Government policy in Australia is excessive, and actually quite disturbing. If I had my way: 1) Chairmans lounge for all politicians would be banned 2) All pollies forced to take...

Enjoyable, modern and cheeky ad - certainly a nice change from the warm and fuzzy singing choir ads we've had to endure for the past decade (time for a change, QF???). Although methinks the feminists will be having will be having a field day with this one

Surprisingly, it was with the red rat

My sister just purchased ADL-JFK return for $1267 in July....surely the best value airfares to ever come out of Adelaide? Honestly have to feel for Brett Godfrey and the crew from Virgin. Lets hope they can ride this out.

You cannot be serious! So thousands of people out of work 'wouldn't be a hugely bad thing'? Not to mention that at every available opportunity, Qantas have consistently shown themselves to be more than willing to gouge the travelling public for every last penny they can get away with. I could...

Hi Folks, I'm planning to fly Adelaide to Saigon in Y later this month on holidays, and currently deciding on the best flight options. Both Malaysia and Singapore Airlines offer flights to SGN from ADL, both involving an overnight transit in their respective hubs. Given pricing is similar...
