hi Sorry if the answer for this is already elsewhere on the site... I have a QF63 & QF64, SYD - JNB - SYD in August, & am trying to find out whether the 747 being used in 3 class or 4, and therefore choose my seat. (I have done that but I like to check closer to the flight if there's better!)...

I'm 56, & don't think I'd retire for another 5 - 6 years, I still enjoy my office job & the benefits the company provides. I do plan to go formally to 4 days a week next year. I know several men that have retired with enough cash, but too much time on their hands. A real problem for men is where...

thanks

hi I'm looking at booking on this next year but SeatGuru warns that the Biz seats are old angle seats, not fully lie-flat. Can anyone advise on this? And also, how was Premium seating? thanks in anticipation!

hi. I managed to snag the QF Premium Econ to Haneda special. Is it possible to buy AA points & use them for a QF upgrade to business? And any recommendations for Premium Econ or Biz seats on the 747? thanks

it varies with the operator. have a look at trainline.eu they have more seat info than others plus you can reserve most seats at the time you book

Absolutely - trains over planes. Just did the Berlin - Paris train. There's no comparison - when you total the travel time & the "being treated like a sheep" factor with planes, you're crazy to fly. Sure, that trip was maybe 2 hours longer overall, but 1) you get fed, 2) minimal security, 3)...

because a US issued card is a) in USD already & the rate is set & b) you can use it to buy in countries where you need a US-numbered card. Like Amazon & US sites, and for example to buy airfares outside Australia for US fares - like elsewhere in the forums say you can do from the US. I know all...

pre paid Visa or Mastercard

hi Apart from finding a friend in the US & sending them some money to buy one - has anyone bought a prepaid US$ card online, or somewhere else? If so, through what company? It seems handy to have one for buying airfares etc. thanks

hi Does anyone know of a telco in Turkey where I can buy a pre-paid SIM? I only want to use it for data, not calls. Thanks!

Flight Centre Money has always had the best rates that I've found, & if you pay cash they don't charge any fees. Finding them on Flight Centre's site is tricky for some reason. They have outlets on George St nr Market in Sydney, Westfield Bondi, & Broadway shopping centre. I also like the Amex...

hi I have a 2 week tour there soon. Taking my (Telstra) Android phone would be exhorbitantly expensive to use. Does anyone recommend a particular SIM provider there? Having the phone is not a big deal, but it could be handy - I'd only need it for SMS, some data for Google Maps, &...

hi! Anyone have any recommendations for 2 people travelling together? I know the config on the planes differs between SIN-IST-SIN, and SIN-SYD. Thanks!

hi! Anyone have any recommendations? Two of us together, want to be away from kids. Well, and other passengers too but there you go... We only have this leg on SQ on this plane. Thanks!

High price is easy - not enough capacity ie seats to be filled! There's not much alternative than direct - unless you consider your time of not a lot of value & you like making connections & sitting in airports - false economy to save $500 going via the US. And Aerolineas - put it this way...

Remember that all the airlines set prices based on the greatest yield for them. Last year we saw all the fares drop hugely as each tried to get market share. They will hold the prices as high as they can for as long as they can. UA & Delta will always be cheaper than QF & VA as they have much...

excellent - thanks!!:p

thanks - yes I saw that, but there's 5 variants on the 200, so I was trying to find out which one they might be using now (eg 2 class, 3 class).

hi & thanks in advance Does anyone know which of the B777-200 configurations SQ uses on SIN-SYD, and SIN-Istanbul? And if you've been on this, any recommendations for economy seats? thanks!!
