Re: Requested to give up your Meticulously Researched and selected Seat when on board Several years ago (pre olci) my sister and I were flying home from FRA and arrived at the check in to be informed that we could not be sat together. We weren't late and were on the same booking but according...

Virgin CEO gaff Did anyone else see the Virgin CEO slip up and say "win medals for Qantas" during the Ian Thorpe press conference on the news tonight. That's moment I bet he would rather forget:lol:

Sydney QP is still nice and quite at 4:15pm free wifi is working well too.

A little while ago I had some random taxi and limo charges in Melbourne turn up on my ANZ visa. Funny thing was I hadn't been to Melbourne for over a year and I have never used a limo. I rang ANZ and told them the charges weren't mine they reversed them quite quickly and just sent me a letter to...

With the new changes not sure if PS is worth it when I have QP although advanced seat selection would be nice. I played with a few dummy bookings and the codeshare no longer seems to be an option even for paid flights. Probably wouldn't stop me flying EY if I end up paying for the flight though.

Thanks for the replies. I am a QP member but unfortunately only a NB one although I am currently contemplating the value of a random flight to MEL to get the 40 SC I am short for PS before my anniversary at the end of Jan. If its a reward flight I would be hoping for J class if Y is the...

Hi All, A friend of mine is getting married in Dubai early next year I have quite a good stash of QFF points at the moment and having been looking at my options to get there. You seem to have to use the multi city search to get shown anything to DXB in the award booking engine and I can see...

Not that fussed on the camera as I almost never use skype etc and I am sure the other stuff looks pretty but wouldn't make that much of difference so on the whole not that worried really. The one I have is all set up and ready to go away with me now.

Hi Sam, I know it was a bit risky because I did know about the event but nothing I have read says for sure its announcing the new touch and even if it is I figure it will be months before it comes to Oz (all the other apple stuff seems to come here on delay) and I am travelling in a week and...

Hi just an update. I ended up getting a iPod touch and am finding it a very entertaining toy. I also got the cradle and tom-tom app and tested them on the way to work it seems to work very well. I also managed to transfer my lonely planet PDFs into iBooks which should be handy. Thanks for your help

My Charlie is a fiend for getting in a suitcase to prevent any packing too! Jumping in and out and attacking hands trying to fold things is an even better distraction. I also have to get the cat box out from it's hiding spot at least 24 hrs before it's needed or she disappears under the bed and...

We are flying on a Friday both in and out of the US although on the way back we are coming from JFK so will be on a 747 from LAX. That's going to risky isn't it? I wish seatcounter was still working so I could get an idea of how full the flight is now. I also wish the we would sort out who is...

Thanks all for the replies. I already watch quite a lot of stuff on ABC's iview but I am pretty sure you have to watch it while online and that it can't be downloaded for later although those trickier than me with a computer may know how. I also think you are right the copyright laws were...

Sorry I am sure you get sick of these:oops: but I was hoping I could beg some more of you excellent advice. My sister and I are soon off to LAX on the QF A380 and as QF NBs we have been patiently waiting till t-7 so we can book our seats. My sister doesn't do long haul well due to motion...

I would really like to download some movies or TV shows for watching on while I am travelling but I am one of the very few people in this world who does not own anything apple makes (yes not even an ipod). I don't really want to download itunes just for this but I can't find anyone else who...

Is it bad that I am reluctant to reply to this thread for fear that my favourites might get booked out when I need them?:oops: Anyway, most of the time I try and coerce a friend into looking after her for me but when I can't I have found both the Paddington Cat Hospital and Paws Paws very...

Hi All I was wondering if someone more experienced with the parking at Sydney could help me out? I regularly fly in to Sydney on QF566 from Perth and usually don't have a car at the airport so just cab it home. However on an upcoming trip it is going to be easier to drive to the airport on...

Hi thanks for replies so far. To clarify the flights we still need to book that we will be doing will be SFO-LAS, LAS - MSY and LEX or CVG to NY (not sure which airport). We are already booked to fly in on QF 11 to LAX from LAX -SFO on an AA flight can't remember number sorry and back home from...

Hi Thanks to those that helped me out before with my questions about travelling to from SYD to the US. I now need to book some domestic flights in the states as we are doing a bit of hoping around while we are there and I was wondering if there was any tips or warnings for a first time...

Hi all, I am a newbie with a few questions about flying in the states. I have been having a look but thought it was easier to ask specifically. My sister and I are planning to fly to the US in September this year coming home early October. At the moment we are um and arring about whether its...
