Shortest flight between "international" airports that can be undertaken in Australia is CBR-SYD :D

That's in a Q400, and Qantaslink's only international flight. Interesting that it is further than DRW-DIL at 521m, yet QF run it, rather than get Cobham or Air North to ply the route in a small turbofan such as E170 or F100

I can't see why you don't get Coke. I ask for red wine and get it.

So what do we want from VA? We've all had a whinge, myself including, I just wonder if member VelocityFrequentFlyer is taking note. My take so far is: * recognition for flexi flyers with the meal - NB I've never had a problem getting a beer or wine, but don't consider corn chips and salsa a...

Another ethical dilemma for OP. I am also aware of a scam that people I know conduct, wearing clothes they have "Bought" for the night, reapplying the tags, and then taking it back for a refund. They even went so far as to buy a plastic taggy thing so they look like they've not been worn...

The problem was icing of the engines going through clouds at 40,000ft. I thought GE (please correct me if I am wrong) who manufactured the engine would have had a fix for this by then, as they were working on it. I can't imagine the southern monsoon being unique, with the northern monsoon...

Any good? Could you imagine your batteries lasting SYD-DPS on a 737? Are those of us who live in a world of squares and tiles going to be underwhelmed when we finally get it?

Message Velocity Frequent Flyer through AFF? Could be on leave

Siminfooks. Do you have a travel report from the Cherry Blossom festival. My wife is keen to go.

Agree this a beat up. But then Qantas are their own worst marketing enemy. Don't charge surcharges for weekends, or extra for DFW - give discounts for travelling midweek. This is a full service airline, not JQ. When will the board sack AJ?

Have you called the Velocity helpdesk? Clearly nobody knows, but perhaps you could tell us how you go?

Clazman - no flaming. However, can you imagine the reaction if this were to appear on what my Telstra Mobile specialist calls the Jesus Phone? (aka iOS devices - they're the Messiah) Snapped with a Lumia 920.

I was there last night too. I tried the soup, I found it not very satisfying, and the accompanying bread was stale. However, was only there for a snack, having sat on plane ex DRW en route to CBR, after a big feed at Fiddlers Green at Darwin Waterfront, hence I had no desire for anything more...

Something unexpected happened today. Rang as my flight DRW-SYD-CBR looked dicey. I had a T class fare (booked through Expedia). Anyway, they put me DRW-BNE-CBR, and my fare class changed to L. No cost. A very pleasant surprise. Extra 30 status points for making a call to ensure no overnighting...

Except at DRW, have never had a problem with Maxi Taxis. However, why not get a hire car like a Territory for the two days?

Re: When will Virgin develop the Windows app for their Inflight Entertainment sys... Here here. SBS have had Metro/modern apps for Windows 8/RT and Windows Phone 8 out for a while, and other TV providers are doing the same. Devices like the Surface are so much more productive than iOS and...

STA Travel has something for RTW, but nothing effective I have seen. I usually pick my destination, go to the Wikipedia article, and work backwards based on airlines and destinations.

Still waiting to see sleeping pods like in Japanese railway stations on 777s and bigger. Get a feed in the lounge before departure and sleep all the way. Evacuation may be tricky, along 5 year olds doing ninja impersonations from the top bunk.

Sunset or dawn landings at MKT in Darwin's south are always exciting courtesy of wallabies emerging from the scrub and buffalo do wander around at times. Thankfully for the forum are no scheduled flights to what is the second busiest strip in the NT, there is no Avtur, only Avgas. The largest...
