Great points - we are aiming at around 15 kilos a piece + 5 kilo carry on -so the weight should not be an issue (yes I know thats tiny for that long but I hate dragging gear around and we have all the good merino stuff and ultralight camping goodies) As for sitting together - hmm we have been...

Thanks for the extensive info on RTW airfares, I have done a little looking and yes it looks like addon flights can get quite expensive - especially the US Is it completely silly to look at just flying one place to another with no preferred carrier. I am leaning towards that given the...

I am going to put this in the playground as its rather an odd one (like me!) Heres the plan - March 2010 : 2 people + 8 months off work = RTW fun??? Where I need help - I need information - all those little pearls of wisdom, insider tips - cheap places to fly into/out of I want them all...

I have a question about this sale - hoping someone can help we are looking at a RTW trip and are tossing up booking individual sectors or a RTW ticket The Melbourne-Honolulu looks like a great price - is this the sort of sale that comes around often or should I be jumping on this? Has...

What they need is a spork!! I have a spork variant - thats a spoon on one end, a fork on the other, and the fork is lightly serrated on one side to serve as a knife OK its a bit fiddly but it is small I have seen versions that are a spoon with little teeth at the bottom to serve as a fork

Hiya - can only base this on my flight On the way there - yes you can pull up the armrest, no the seats are not wider, there aisle is wider, and there is more gap between the window seat itself and the window (if that makes sense) - meaning you can lounge around a bit more On the way back...

I did the Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur trip recently - I must admit I did not pay much attention to details like bulkheads - the plane was quite large, so I only noticed the really obvious things I would say the exit rows are your best bet or the window seats of the 2x2 section (bear in mind that...

Is it possible that Qantas is more than happy not to resolve this matter? After all if its held up legally that the points do have value and should be transferred then they would have to fork over a lot of points. As it is most of the points accrued (technically all) are "lost" Just...

darn i mean Launceston! still getting the hang of the airport code - that would be LST can I blame my head cold - please :oops:

Amazingly kids that pile the food on the plate manage to get through most of it - I swear they have hollow legs!

I got very lucky with my flight from MEL-LTN a couple of weeks ago as the fog was well and truly sticking around the airport interestingly I was booked with tiger in the afternoon, after passing up earlier flights with Jetstar/Virgin Blue (we had flown in the night before internationally so I...

Its unfair Easy way to fix this is to have the member nominate a recepient in their profile information should they shuffle off. Qantas could require the person to benefit is a member of the scheme before the death of the person it is entirely likely that this would keep people in the...

Just checking back after my trip (I have been back a while but dragged home a cold - so have not been feeling human enough to post) Well having flied XL and normal - whats my verdict on whether its worth the extra money - well the answer is generally no - providing you can get a decent seat in...

Is the any way you can get access to an Aiport Lounge pre-flight? I know this sounds odd, but when I started travelling this was an extra special thing, and made me feel quite plush :oops:

I wondered about this, we took out insurance about a week ago, and am a little leary of travel at the moment. Its a tough call - chances are given the incubation time, if its going to spread it already has, and its just a case of waiting for the cases to be diagnosed

I hear ya - I am getting stressed about the domestic flight sector for my "big trip". Its nice to be able to ask these types of questions - I am sure it will all be cool :cool: and you will have a great time

Yes - been to the lounge a few times in Sydney Yes - its absolutely worth it - if you have the $ spare the lounge sits to the side/above the food hall in the terminal, but is nice and quiet (surprising giving its location) A couple of drinks and lunch would set you back at least $25 anyway...

Heres hoping I get the new model :)

Paul thats really good info - sound like even though it was more $ it was probably worth upgrading since the money was "lost" otherwise I do have a really important question though - power - did the seats have a socket in them that would power a notebook? i do plan to be asleep but you...

Grr - i think this is just silly I think the only justification for this might be that larger people = more weight = more fuel OK so someone might be slightly bigger than the seat, enroaching on your space .. so are they going to start charging for people who put their seat back, encroacing...
