From Memory, the bombing WAS S7's fault as the woman had been stopped from boarding after being flagged. But after the paying of a bribe she was allowed to board, and blew up the plane. And these Wiki facts are only the ones that make it into the English press. This mob have had a bad...

Guys,Guys, S7 is the "wreakage" from Sibir Airlines, who had one of the worst records in Russia. And don't forget Aeroflot was broken up into many small parts, with the "new" regional parts getting all the worst planes and staff. The "better" parts were kept for the "new" Areoflot that...

You gotta love Aussie ironic humor. What really sucks is trying to get any Australian Mission to help you when you run into real strife (as distinct from alcohol or theft). I had one Australian representative tell me, he wasn't there to assist Australians overseas, but to facilitate trade and...

Thanks Gents

It's always the simple things! sorry, Y, as the wife and 4yr old are making the granny run with me.

Previet, Returning to my Russian bolt hole for the summer and have bookings out of PER on June 12 QF to NRT. Looking for advice on good seat options, and if anyone knows what actual aircraft that should be? Onward to HEL June 17 with Finnair AY 074, connecting to their newish route into...

Used to love these things. Especially out of Perth. Often got a Red eye to Syd/Mel and a late flight back.

Does anyone know if they actually did start their flights out of Perth Sunday?

Thankyou for that information

Hi, can someone enlighten me on when OneWorld stopped allowing BMI flights on DONE's? I used to always use those flights between LHR-SVX, and they still come up with a BA flight no. Only Finnair's new service and Maleav come up on the planner though. Thanks.

Flashware, it's called irony! get a sense of humour if you hang around this lot :)

Russian visa's are a pain in the a@#%. As an Australian you can get 30 days on a Tourist Visa but as others have pointed out you will need a hotel booking for each night in country. I would not recommend it but I know some who book and pay for first night, let the hotel/hostel register them...

IMHO Ekat"s worth a visit sometime, but I am based there sometime of each year. As far as I'm aware British Midland are still flying to LHR, and Finair will be coming in later this year.

Point taken that all One World Airlines will be the same, but an effective 20% loss in value on top of all the latest Fare/Fee increases seems above and beyond even for the Roo! Does it still work out much cheaper with AA? as I see the've been ramping their fees also.

Got caught by surprise today when told not only had Qantas put up the price 4%, but had reduced the max flights from 20 down to 16. At the $200 per segment they charge for additional flights that's $800! Talk about price gouging. Not happy Jan.

continents fare These fares really are the best if you just want to screw max miles out of the coughs. I had a trip last year as follows: perth-brisbane,qf-sydney,qf-new york,qf-miami,aa-panama city,aa-miami,aa-los angeles,aa-las vegas,aa-los...

Hi All, arriving into SYD from NRT, but then connecting in the International terminal to QF25 to BNE International. What happens in BNE when you fly this "international" flight? do they force you through immigration and customs? and if so can we just "transit" in SYD rather than do it all...

Long Haul nonsense They could have been flying loghaul out of Perth to London for ages, they just refuse to do it (Airbus 340-500 is it that Singapore flys to New York?). They could wipe Emirates and Singapore out of the Perth market if they did, and I'm sure a few of you east coasters wouldn't...

thankyou everyone

newby alert! Hi all looking to fly with the wife and infant from moscow to brisbane via tokyo. we've been away for awhile, but I've kept up my QFF (silver) and QC. my questions are, will I be able to get the bride and infant (6mths) into the lounge (?partner jal) as guests? and secondly the qf...
