Coming back BNE-SYD a few months ago on a Sunday afternoon, we boarded, then sat. Pilot finally came over the mike and advised that "there had just been an upgrade to something (forgotten what) and the engineers were still checking it out. Signed off. Came back about 10 minutes later, and said...

Found the following quote from link very interesting. It will take nearly 6 months to approve the agreement. No wonder Australia's productivity is so low. No approval should be necessary - it's a commercial decision that the government should stay out of. Qantas starts selling UK via Dubai...

I've just spoken to QF telephone sales and they tell me that the new schedules will be loaded today. Also, flying Budapest - Sydney will still have to go through Frankfurt, Zurich etc, as Emirates doesn't fly into Budapest.

A UK friend plans to travel J class LHR-SYD April 2013, for about a 6-8 week visit. Within Australia, she will be doing some flying (particularly SYD-CNS) but I don't think would be going to the smaller airports. She has not flown internationally for nearly 30 years, but in a few weeks, will...

According to Qantas' initial press release, the alliance will start in April. However, an article in AFR yesterday said 1 July. Unravelling the Qantas Frequent Flyer code A friend is flying LHR / SYD late April / early May 2013, and I told her about the proposed changes. Now, I don't know what...

At the end of the 4-Corners report, they showed an image of a Pel-Air sign, showing that it was part of the Rex group. Googled it, and came up with the following Pel-Air - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some of the original links don't seem to be working so did a search and found the following: 'Sheer arrogance': anger over Rex's 'insulting' complaint response The original letter is at the end of the article. I guess that this problem indicates the degree of difficulty in the bush...

This happened to me a year or so ago. Flying (I think) SYD-TMW (or could have been SYD-DBO). Flight called, we boarded and suddenly had to disembark. When we got back into the terminal, I asked the ground staff "what 'appened?". She said that the plane about to leave SYD-Lord Howe had a blocked...

Many years ago, I used to party with some of the United crew in Sydney. One was 60+ and the others said that she would be one that they would have to help out the door, down the slide etc rather than her help with the evacuation. They indicated that she had no special abilities - just kept...

This happened recently on a QF HBA - SYD flight. I boarded fairly early into J, was taking my coat off, when a tall well dressed man in a business suit put his bag into the space above my seat, then continued on down to the back. He moved so quickly that there was no chance to make a comment...

Just received another QF promotion for male sport (Socceroos). I'm so sick of their promotions always targeting men's sport and other interests, not women's. What about netball, Opals (women's basketball), Hockeyroos, Matildas, women's cricket etc? Thousands of women fly every year to...

I hope that the "private company" referred to in the article is better at finding visa overstayers (currently 100 a day) than the private company they gave the contract to supply security staff for the games.

The site is still down. However, there is what appears to be a DOS based flight search booking engine displaying - but only just!

Another comment on the merger, indicating that the merged airline will probably stay with OW. Brazil's TAM Completes Share Swap for LAN Merger | Fox Business

I think that it depends on your needs at that point in time. Recently, did a JASA down to HBA to retain SG, as I knew that, due to circumstances, I had to cancel 2 OS flights which would have requalified me.

Collecting PHL on the DBO-SYD via Qantas must have changed very recently. Having flown that route many times over the past 10 years, everyone carried their PHL to the plane,dropped it at the foot of the stairs, then collected it at the other end, again at the foot of the stairs. Never went...

I've created a shortcut that takes me straight to the login screen without having to do multiple clicks from the "photo hogging" front page. Hate doing any more clicks that necessary.

I strongly suggest that you don't ask pax to move, but the CSM as you boardn (if problem not sorted beforehand). A few months ago, I saw a pax on BNE-SYD try to move half the cabin so she could sit next to her kids (who were old enough to sit on their own). Got a right old dressing down from...

Stayed with a friend in Toronto last year, who was a retired Director of Nursing. When the SARS epidemic was on, she + many retired nurses +other medicos had to check all passengers coming into Toronto. She said that it was a huge job.
