None of the "special fares" I clicked on to/from PER actually showed up. A bit of a scam?

Tarted up? How?

Black holes? Often I stay in a quite nice hotel opposite the Hacienda hotel in El Segundo, and I certainly wouldn't call it a "Black hole". And, using priceline.com, it costs less than USD 50 (plus taxes) a night. I guess those people on expense accounts would frown on it, but if anyone...

Re: Family Of 5 Ejected Of Etihad Airway After Etihad Made An Error On The Their Seat I'm still amazed (well maybe not really) that so many Australians think Islamic Arabic airlines are great. Maybe a short stint in Saudi Arabia would disavow them of those thoughts. BTW I have been there on...

You fly to Vietnam and China and call MEL 3rd world? Get real matey!

I have "flown" the space shuttle flight simulator at the Houston space center. I am a qualified pilot, but found it very difficult to land the darn thing. It "flies" like a brick on steroi_s. I don't think a non-qualified pax could land it (unless they were a computer game wizard).

Just bought a SYD-SFO-LAX-SFO-SYD ticket on UA for AUD1044 all-in. Depart May, return July. Was an extra $10 because I added the US domestic flights. I could have booked QF for the same dates for AUD975, but I opted for UA as it would give me 75,000 FF points vs approx 15,000 on QF. Also...

To be competitive with QF, DJ need to become a non-LCC. That's not going to happen, so they will always be at the bottom of the list.

Well, I find this discussion to be quite interesting. I am a dual national UK and Australia and hold passports of both nations. I have never been asked such questions and would feel offended if I had. There are recourses if you feel hard done by, but you have to be legal, of course. I have had...

Well I guess you're not Mileage Plus 2P, 1P or 1K. So you would get the horrible Y seats. But if you were 1P or 1K, you would get an Economy Plus seat with more legroom (for free) and get also 200% miles towards a future Star Alliance flight. I don't think VA can do that...

Love your reply. :)

From my experience, and I've been to DRW more times than I care to remember, I believe that security is staffed 24/7. It's that kind of place.

Beware, Hertz is in ripoff mode at the moment. They are by far the most expensive in any overseas city I am visiting over the next few months. And I have discount codes available.

Re: Delta to start ATL-LAX-SYD TERRIFIC NEWS! I'm with you on that one. Why would anyone fly a no-frills carrier (that isn't part of a worldwide alliance) for 14 hours when they could fly a full-service airline that is a member of a global alliance? And for roughly the same fare. Now just...

Just Google it.

Well, no it isn't.

Why not just pay a little extra and go with a non-islamic airline? My wife flew MH KUL-SYD a couple of years ago and it was during the Haj. Not a nice experience. But chacun à son goût, as they say.

Dubai. I'm not sure why anyone would go there, except to change planes (and that's a hassle) or to buy/sell oil. It's such a lovely place when sandstorms blow in. How do I know? I've experienced it a few times... and I'm not rushing back. And don't show affection to anyone of the...

Yes, there's no doubt that Zuji is quite a bit more expensive than Expedia. Surely they can't be making money with this approach (but maybe some people don't check). I've been looking for a cheapish fare from LHR to BLR for a little while, and today found expedia.com.au offering flights on...
