Moranbah is a bit like that. Impossible to get accomodation overnight and houses are $600k + and you're in the middle of nowhere. :shock: When I visited MOV it was that bad that we had to fly in and fly out of Brisbane on the same day or we'd be sleeping on the streets. :o Glad you had...

Hi Kalan. You'd be surprised, it won't actually be that cold in San Fran or London at Christmas. It'll be above zero most days. :p TBH, I was disappointed by Christmas in London. I found they didn't get into it as much as I'd expected and New York would be a better option. New York at...

That's incredibly kind of you, thanks Ric and JohnK. :D A big thanks Ric for donating the ties. I wear them most days so they'll definitely come in handy! ;) JohnK, I look forward to meeting you. Only three weeks to go until the party flight and QF AGM. For anyone interested, check out this...

I just want to say thanks for the Datapoints Mwenenzi. Very cool and useful! Just in case my earlier post was/is taken the wrong way, I just want to reinforce that I don't think or blame postpadding occurred by anyone (particularly Serfty). oz_mark explained it better than I can. Everything...

Counting backwards from 17:42, there were 100,034 posts. Originally I did it from 100,016 posts at 16:47 (clearly very busy this afternoon) :) but decided to extraploate it out a little further. 17:42 100k posts Futaris 100,034 17:42 Using Status Mistado 100,033 17:37 Citibank Gold Chicken...

lol, it's always good having your posts, lumped or not. When I log on each night and see only 22 new threads for 24 hours, it's a little sad.

If you or your husband work for an academic insitution, you should have access to Academic rates. Cheap Tickets for College Students and Faculty: Airfare, Rail and Hostel Deals has some excellent one way rates flying all the major airlines, including fares from USD$500 on Qantas from LAX-BNE.

No probs JohnK. It's been a frenzy today. I don't think anyone counted on today's posting rate. :p At last count, Serfty was approaching 40 posts for the day. :shock: :D

Congratulations to Mal on 3,000 posts!!! Hey Mal, thanks for all your contributions to AFF and your passion for the community. Congrats on the milestone! Cheers, littl_flier

A unique trip report, thanks Bundy Bear! :D

Lol, I did it twice and the first time the lady goes, "oh, you've checked in sir" and the second after 30 seconds of furious bashing was "sir, it would be much easier if you'd told me you had checked in" in a stern way. So now I tell them. ;)

Thanks for the link, looks like stacks of fun. :D It's MSN009, or F-WWEA: one of Emirates birds. Love the reverse camera, makes sure it can't run into any small children, or large grass areas for that matter. :mrgreen:

Gettin a little OT but I was wondering why they seem to check ID more in the US? I noticed I was checked 100% of the time in LA (about 25 transactions) and was asked a few times in New York. (about the same) But in places like Century 21, you simply swipe your card and sign with a digital pen...

Star Alliance Gold recognition. :p Seriously though, I think it lacks the benefits offered by other airlines in that there are no reciprocal benefits. Surely it could be coordinated so there was lounge access when flying other members of the Virgin Group or putting an agreement in place to...

Whilst I understand why the passengers were offloaded and think that it was the right path to take regardless of the fact that they had to be offloaded once upon the aircraft, the thing that gets me/annoys me is that late passengers who didn't own up were threatened to receive no compensation...

Yeah, I first discovered this the hard way last year when I tried to dodge the system and a little card spat out telling me to see a rep. I don't usually print a boarding pass even when I have checked in online. (I like the real ones) Because QuikCheck doesn't let you print them out, I always...

Yeah, I guess "real" :rolleyes: celebrities probably get that kind of deal or have the power to write it into their contracts. Certainly, as of 12 months ago the Sunrise cast and crew (including the newsreaders) flew Economy on short hops like SYD-MEL/BNE but I suspect this may have been...

Thanks for the Trip Report QuickSMART. It's always nice when you can jag a International Config on a domestic flight. It would be nice if QF could leave the AVOD on until after landing though. Lol, I was wondering the same. I know a few people in the industry and I can tell you that the...

Hi Iahshem. Welcome to AFF! :p Most of us love flying and have a passion for travel and flying in particular. If you have any questions, feel free to create new threads and we'll all try and help out if we can. I'm looking forward to your contributions and once again, welcome to AFF...

With $2100 probably the best bet is to go HNL-LAX-DFW-BWI/BOS and then purchase a point to point BWI/BOS-ORD in discount economy. It will still be a little more than $2100 but will yield 780 SC's + the BWI/BOS-ORD discount economy SC's. Note, the YUPP's seem to have gone up and HNL-BWI is now...
