    Excessive fees by Airlines

    Re: Jetstar's drip charges and the ACCC It is not just the airlines credit card gouge. How about car rentals, the quoted price is about half of what you pay. How they get away with this is one of life's great mysteries, like the conscious mind or the origin of the universe.

    Perth airport second world?

    I prefer lounges after security - who wants to queue for security after a later boarding call in the lounge? As for Perth Domestic Airport - what an embarrassment. Never realised we passengers actually pay to use the airport facilities (naive I know). That is a really expensive toilet stop. I've...

    Virgin Blue in court over website

    Whilst at face value this legal action may appear vexatious, it is cases like these that test the law and enhance compliance. In the UK test cases of all sorts of law are regularly in the courts. I stand to be corrected but my understanding is the the Federal Disability Discrimination Act...

    Thanks. As I had a fare I couldn't change I didn't even try - but next time I will. :D

    QF have changed my booking without notifying me.

    I agree with Batesy that Qantas should have informed him. It is only courteous, even if 3 months out. I assume that if you fly domestic to Sydney, even 15 earlier, you will still have to clear the international barriers before getting to the Qantas club for breakfast. My beef with Qantas is...

    Dog misses planted drugs in Japan, customs embarrassed

    :shock: Outrageous! Negligent! Incompetent! Unbelievable! It won't be the bozo customs officer or his bosses who get shot. They should be sent to a Bangkok prison for a month to teach them a lesson

    USA Visas Merged Thread

    Re: US with CRIMINAL RECORD, AUS/UK passports My partner was in this predicament for a drug offence in his early 20s, now in his late 50s. He sought a visa from the US embassy and was refused. They might ignore offensive behaviour but then again "felons" seem to have few rights in the US...

    Jetstar riddled with flight changes and poor service

    No more Priority Baggage for Qantas Club

    My priority tagged luggage has come out last at Perth airport, on 2 occasions. One flight was on a 747, so I had to wait some time. I do wonder what is the definition of priority luggage.

    Gentle warning about Rental car excesses.

    Mmmm... I still think it is illegal to quote a price say $100 plus GST. The GST must be included in the quoted price. This was confirmed by the ACCC when I called them about the software course suppliers quoting a price plus GST. :rolleyes:

    Gentle warning about Rental car excesses.

    I thought it was illegal to quote a cost that is not inclusive of the GST. I once contacted the ACCC about this matter regarding a completely different matter to travel - a software training course- where I was charged an additional 10% on the advertised price. I was informed by the ACCC that...
