V05A no longer appears on BP issued at gate - not a problem if the crew carry the manifest when serving. Quite often they know you have a voucher and ask you what you would like. But if the crew haven't bothered with the manifest beware - you are likely to be treated like a cheat and a liar and...

Asking a parent to stop their darling kicking the seat is usually pointless or like poking a bear with a stick, so I put my seat up and down and up and down and up and down and then keep it down. Failing that I ask cabin crew to sort it when I get up for a pit stop.

How much warning does Qantas give before downgrading one from Business to Economy? Are you given the option of cancelling and getting a refund? If this ever happened to me (not likely as it's not likely I'll every fly business) and I had the option I'd cancel, get the full refund and book...

I've had similar experiences with Budget - I hadn't even left home when I supposedly picked up the car. I used flight data to provide landing time. I also apparently returned the car whilst I boarding the return flight - provided time stamped petrol receipt and flight departure data. Money...

Perhaps the ACCC should do to Hertz what they did to Coles re bread baked on premises (not). All Hertz Rental Counters and Hire Cars to be plastered with notices stating that they have been charging customers for pre existing damage and over charging for repairs.

Easy to miss damage in that dark and dangerous rental car park at Perth Airport. They should put torches in rental cars.

Car rental companies should take and provide photos of pre existing damage. Or they should have provision for you to send your own photos back to them prior to leaving. As the rental cars are often some way from key pick up, who wants to trudge all the way back - through sleet if you are in...

Wanderers by name, wanderers by nature

I thought you had to sit in your allocated seat for take off and landing.

Airlines are now so pernickety about you being in your allocated seat. On a recent JQ flight we were not going to leave the gate until everyone was in their A_L-L-O-C-A-T-E-D seat. This went on for about 15 minutes. You must be in your allocated seat for take off and landing. I'm sure you tipped...

Wow. This is the reason why I keep a copy of the rules on my phone - for easy reach. I sometimes even use the photo as wallpaper when I travel internationally and I have resorted to keeping a print out as well.

I now keep a photo of gold status conditions on my phone. If you read the fine print re Gold PB - Q are rolling out the new signs. And I'm rolling my eyes. I mean how long does this take. BTW where were you?

Re: Do travel agents stop and say "By the way you can be imprisoned if you kiss your Perhaps the airlines should warn passengers. Qantas just glossed over the fact that passengers are now routed through the Middle East, denying the legal risks.

As some people noted in this discussion they didn't realise some of the implications. Even after reading DFAT I didn't realise the issue with medications and I am a doctor, who is also on a range of essential medications. There does though seem to be a randomness about who gets into strife.

I have a different surname and address to my husband. Guess I will have to pack an apostilled copy of our marriage certificate.

Wonder how many people realise this?

Wow. How awful. And if you could not demonstrate that your brother was your brother ...

No I did not leave off the death penalty for drug offences. It is in there. I'm not aware that any gays and lesbians have been arrested and imprisoned in Singapore on the basis of an intimate relationship. But they have been in the UAE. How many Australian business men have been caught in the...

Oh, seriously. Mind you I only travel BA in Europe. Always on a QF or EK flight from/to Aus. I find this all so confusing. Fortunately I am now QF Gold and life is a bit simpler.

With due respect you might your statement might be naive. Check out DFAT. We advise you to exercise normal safety precautions in the UAE. You should exercise common sense and look out for suspicious behaviour, as you would in Australia. Monitor the media and other sources for changes to...
