The solution, said Mr. Clark at Emirates, is to offer distractions like big meals, frequent snacks and lots of electronic entertainment. Sorry Mr Clark but that is not the solution and I am not mesmerised by a 4-5inch screen that allows people to smash the back of your chair for the whole...

I fully understand that but where do you stop? It seems seats are getting smaller instead of bigger.. The biggest problem for me is the width - I am not just uncomfortable but also effecting the person next to me since I am taking up some of their seat due to my shoulder width. I step off a 12...

What are everyones thoughts on economy seats.. I understand I will likely get the "Fly business if you don't like it". I am only 186cm but have very wide shoulders and every single time I end up in the aisle I get my shoulder smashed by the trolley. I also end up with half my shoulder in the...

Still happy with my call that the recent drop in USD was overblown and it will strengthen - this should push the AUD back closer to 72-74 cents. Do I think China is suddenly going to demand more iron ore? No.

I got 1L of Bombay Sapphire at Melbourne airport for $38 AUD. Just checked on Dan Murphys and selling for $66 so I guess it all depends - do research before hand to know what is a good price.

I never really read a final conclusion - was it decided that the most likely cause was the pilot and not an accident?

You were indeed correct - no issues at all.

Well the prices certainly improved since my last post - I just have a feeling this is a relief rally and will not last. The Saudis are not done with the attack on Shale - the last thing they want is a rebound in price that gives another sniff to bankers who are propping up struggling producers...

Got a feeling this rally will be short lived... Market has reacted a bit too much to delay in interest rate rises in the USA. Stocks in USA being supported by low interest rates - I think this rally will be short lived.

OK so I should be eligible for the refund - thanks.

Quick question - I made an online purchase from ebay Bing Lee - the Invoice Total with "TAX INVOICE" on it says $349 and has the GST amount - however I applied a coupon code to get the price I paid down to $284. Am I eligible still since the invoice is for $349 even though I only paid $284?

I'm also looking for replacement QC15 ear pads - Chinese knock off versus more expensive genuine or similar like the ones above?

Re: Flight centre vs online FINNAIR booking I made it to page 4 and had to see how this ended - it is still going !!!

Not just the centre - make sure it is as low as possible.

I can feel a small sentiment shift in the market towards the positive price side. Late January when prices collapsed felt like the blow up - since then the price has rebounded quite quickly when it touched the mid to high 20's. US oil production is dropping however global growth predictions are...

I have worked offshore Guyana - definitely a developing country. A lot of exploration work taking place there over the past few years. When I worked there you had to fly through POS. As suggested the best option is Qantas to Santiago. Lan should fly to Panama city - from there you could take...

Biggest pet annoyance. As soon as they start making massive profits they completely destroy their customer service division meaning 1 hour + wait times to get assistance. Absolute disgrace - then they go announce wifi on planes... Get the basics right first Qantas before you start adding all...

I asked this before but can I get any other opinions of how likely I am to not fly given my ticket shows the suffix "Sr" on it when I have no suffix? Priceline look like they want me to pay $30 to get it changed even though they said they aren't sure Qantas will allow it or any other costs...

I feel like even the majors want to see more carnage in the near term. It does seem like a war on the shale producers. Nations and the big boys can ride this downturn out without issues (Venezuela hasn't got a shred of power) and clean up some cheap assets when the over leveraged and new boys go...

I work in the exploration sector and we have had a few rivals go belly up.. The problem is most work is deep offshore which usually requires higher oil prices. The only exploration work being done is that which has already been committed to under the licensing block agreements. The shale...
