    Ahhh but would most likely have been chockers on the return leg if the traditional Darwin exodus has continued this year.

    In similar circumstances I have... 1. Been able to book via the QF website but not on the rental company's website 2. Approached the rental companies' desks upon arrival ( And used the boarding pass/in-flight magazine promo code). On some occasions I have had success and other ones, not.

    I am confused. Was the original fare forfeited or not?

    My sad, self-destructive day...

    Shbap, these things happen. Don't sweat the small stuff. Did QF just transfer you without additional cost, apart from the upgrade loss?

    Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs Dead

    My father was a train driver. I am mindful not to glorify or romanticize Ronald Biggs' exploits. He/ his gang did kill during the robbery, didn't they? If not, they probably left some very traumatised people.

    Flight Centre Compensation Question

    I don't think McDonalds stoops as low as Flight Centre. At least at Maccas you know what to expect and get what you pay for, without hidden fees and charges. But then again, there is a similarity between Ronald McDonald and Scroo (ge) Turner.

    Or have a people start in each capital city on the same day, visit every capital city and then compare the length of time from first departure to arrival back in that city, and cost.

    Flight Centre Compensation Question

    Hi James, So, did the itinerary outline the details of the fare conditions and you, sadly, missed them? If so, it still doesn't exonerate Flight Centre morally but maybe it does legally. Do let us know how you get on with the different approaches you are taking. Interesting they were prepared to...

    ITA Software / "OnTheFly" app - any success when booking?

    I downloaded the app only last night and had a play with it. I only tried one trip-BNE-KTM. OnTheFly was able to be matched by the SQ website. That was all I tried.
