    One way with layover vs Multi-city??

    I am trying to find flights using a classic award from Cancun to Buenos Aires. They are available for 36,000 points but you have to connect through either New York or Miami. My question is if I wanted to stay in New York or Miami for 1 week and then fly to Buenos Aires can I do that without...

    Aerolineas Argentinas to allow dogs to sit on passengers laps

    As someone who spends a lot of time in Argentina this is one of the more normal ideas she has come up with. I'm sure the botox injections have infiltrated her brain.

    There seems to be a lot of issues caused by blocked probes - is there any new developments in the works that you are aware of to prevent them getting blocked?

    Indonesia Air Asia flight QZ 8501 loses contact with ATC

    Surely they must be able to locate the wreckage within a kilometre based on current modelling and last data. The GPS would be on until impact and radar until it got below a certain altitude? You would hope a light aircraft and navy would be there within a few hours of first disappearance.

    Qatar 777-300ER J seats?

    I am flying solo with Qatar on two long haul flights both on the 777-300ER, I am trying to decide between a window (annoying when you have to get up to go to the bathroom) and an aisle seat. Is there any specific seat recommendations or is the window more quiet than the aisle? I am going to try...

    Hostages Taken in Martin Place

    I spent the past 5 hours watching this live... Thoughts with all those involved. I'm sure we will get a lot of armchair experts like myself analysing the small bit of information we got. I will be very interested to see whose bullets inflicted what damage. I can't help but feel there were a few...

    Ask The Pilot

    Re: Ask the pilot Morning JB, just wanted to say how good a flight I had on QF10 from DXB>MEL... Love the A380, so quiet compared to the 777. Day and night compared to my previous Emirates flight from BUE>DXB.. The crew of QF were more professional and well trained, punctuality and timing of...

    Melatonin Recommendations

    I work in a job that requires changing sleep patterns from 'normal' to night shift. The hardest part is the first few days when starting the switch. Would it make sense to try taking melatonin an hour before sleeping on the new shift? Usually I try to go to sleep at midday because I have to wake...

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    I've been on the phone every day since Monday to them and as you know you end up talking to a person who has very little power to get information or do anything. Apparently cross department contact is limited to only email and responses take 1 day. If only there was a direct number I could call...

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    Speaking of banks and FX are there any AFF's working in the banking industry that have a decent understanding of wire transfers? I was meant to receive a USD transfer from HSBC overseas intended for my HSBC USD account here in Australia and somewhere along the way an intermediary bank has...

    Malaysian Airlines MH17 Crashes in Ukraine

    There is no question that MH and other airlines were not in breach of the rules/laws in force at the time. However this doesn't stop companies going above the rules and maintaining their own higher standards of safety to separate themselves from the pack. Hindsight is a wonderful thing of course.
