    Baseball Tickets in Chicago and Boston

    There are a few games in Boston that haven't sold out. Go to 2009 Red Sox Schedule | redsox.com: Schedule and look at the red coloured dates (home games) with the "T" icon (click on the "T" to buy a ticket). I'll actually be at the games in Boston (v Kansas City) on July 9, 10 & 11. I've also...

    A380 and 90W Laptop

    Yeah it's a bit of a power hog. It's a Dell Inspiron 9400 with 17" widescreen screen... basically a desktop replacement. I know how to lower the screen brightness, so as long as I remember to do it before boarding and leave the battery out it seems as though I should be fine. Thanks heaps...

    A380 and 90W Laptop

    Now that a few of you have flown the A380, how does it cope with 90W laptops? Will it work, or will the power fuse trip and have to be reset on the ground (as per the warning here Fly - Onboard - Communication ) Evan :->

    Op-Up Protocol

    I was having a discussion on Op-ups with some colleagues last night. Colleague 1 always asks at check-in. Colleague 2 sometimes asks, but feels a bit like a beggar doing so. Whilst I never ask and hope that the airline gods have a surprise for me. What is the general consensus of obtaining...

    10 years. 10 airlines. oneworld® “10% off. 10 airlines”. 10 weeks. A SCAM????

    I believe a complaint to the ACCC is in order. Here are some quotes from this page: Misleading & deceptive conduct Evan :->

    For non-SYD members - what would entice you to connect via SYD?

    Do you mean the bus ride or the Official Tarmac Tour Airside Tarmac Tours I've always wanted to do this tour, but have been waiting for a secondary reason to visit Sydney before making the effort to do it. Evan :->

    QF11 A380 Tuesdays

    Just had a quick look back in the timetable. Seems as though it is starting on June 9 to September 1 (inclusive). Would these dates match up with US school holidays? Evan :->

    QF11 A380 Tuesdays

    Hi Just checked my booking for Tuesday 30 June SYD-LAX and I've discovered my flight time has been changed slightly and the aircraft has changed from a B747 to the A380. Looking at the weekly timetable for that week (and a few either side... too lazy to keep looking!) QF11 will now use the...

    New safety brief on QF

    Could you post your future flight details? I want to make sure I'm NOT on any of your flights! Evan :p

    New safety brief on QF

    I wonder when they will get rid of the Non-smoking indicator. Surely everyone knows by now that you can't smoke on a plane. At least remove the lights. Surely 200 or so lights would add a tiny bit of excess weight to the plane. Someone tell me they didn't put the NS indicator into the A380...

    Sydney to Las Vegas

    If QF points aren't too much of a priority and you also have a Virgin Velocity account, then HA will give you VV points. I just tried a dummy booking SYD -> HNL -> LAS return with HA and got a price of $3100, so perhaps the JQ (or even QF)/HA combo might be the cheapest for you. Evan :->

    Problem when changing DJ reservation - it didn't work?

    Too late for the OP now, but when I am using a public PC and need some form of receipt/proof, I try to take a photo of the screen. It may not be the clearest photo though. Evan :-> Edit: I missed the post 2 posts up ;-p

    Need to find a Qantas Club corp. program

    So less than the $355 quoted on the QC website? Count me in then. I'll PM Admin to let him know. I'm just a QFF, so time isn't really an issue. Got my first taste of QC in Singapore in May thanks to a Pass from Amex. Don't have the Amex anymore, so no more free passes. Evan :->

    Need to find a Qantas Club corp. program

    Hi everyone. I too am interested in this offer. Just a query. Is there a discount on the renewal rate (i.e. after one year)? The website makes mention of a "once-off joining fee", but it doesn't really say whether there will also be a discount on the renewal rate or whether the $200 discount...

    Computer Check-in System Only "BAD" Seats

    Another tip. If you don't mind your allocated seat, but want the chance to take another (better) seat if someone else checks-in and changes seats, DON'T check-in yourself. Once you check-in, that seat is permanently yours. If you don't check-in, you are still guaranteed THAT seat, however you...

    Notebook use in Japan

    Arrived in Japan on Monday. So far the Tokyo Hilton and Mercure Ginza both had adaptor plugs that worked perfectly. The dive I'm staying at in Nagoya didn't have an adaptor, so I took out the plugs I mentioned in my April 25 post and it worked perfectly as well. Thanks to everyone for...

    Dial-up wont be an issue for me. I'll be using in-house cable or wireless. Evan :->

    Notebook use in Japan
