When you compare the Qantas online experience with pretty much any other airline, you are going to be traumatised.

It's all degrees of Shabbiness. Mobile just seems better than normal.

Did you book through MH or an Agent? If the latter, it is tricky, although MH Mobile isn't too shabby.

Also worth noting - Mercator built by Emirates according to Dr Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_reservations_system#Major_systems

MH use Mercator, not Amadeus. Mercator spits out the five character codes. Discuss on this thread. http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/qantas-frequent-flyer-program/malaysian-linking-booking-qantas-system-48133.html

For reasons of nostalgia alone, I want it to be an A300, complete with tubular headphones as mentioned on other threads. Glad that OP had good flight. Sounds like Sri Lankan will be a welcome addition to OW next year.

Never underestimate playgym tourism either. Yoyo YOYO Mobile in Luxembourg was a site to behold. The kids and Dads were climbing three storey high "trees" and sliding down the equivalent slide when we visited friends there in January, while the mums were having a few quiet ones at the fully...

Something I'm yet to try (but am excited by pending a trip to Japan in a few months) is Air BNB, where you stay in people's homes (although research suggests some of the accommodation is merely apartments that would have been sold through another party). I have put together a basic search for...

Re: It's the Vibe! We have "Territorian Passes" here in the NT, which cost the same or slightly more than an ordinary ticket, and encourage us to take visitors out to the various attractions, noting there aren't that many, and there is only so many times you can feed the archer fish meal worms...

Cobb and Co Museum (Part of Qld Museum) in Toowoomba is free for residents of Toowoomba (fair enough - they can drag in friends and family) and there is a discounted rate for RACQ members, and NRMA (NSW), but not RAA/RACV/AANT, etc. As a former Queenslander myself, I find the positive...

I haven't been on the DC Metro since 1999, but I can say with 13 year old memory that the Metro is more savoury that taking NSW Cityrail or QR Citytrain. If I'm travelling for work, my big question is whether they take the Diners Card?

You obviously haven't used the most modern phone OS! That said, I would never fly a plane running Windows, or Mac OS, for that matter. I am still traumatized by the lift where I used to work having the Windows 95 monochromatic orange screen of death. Lift still worked.

Lounge access not being valued, and instead purely being seen as a perk. Anybody who negotiates not to have access are just jealous and take a narrow interpretation of rules, regulations, etc. re entitlements, and have little focus on value and outcomes. Work travel is not necessarily glamorous...

Procurement people who negotiate to not have access to the lounge in contracts (especially those in the public sector) have no idea of their value in terms of relationship building. I'll leave it at that.

All the acronyms are right. DRW has a runway built before modern standards, and therefore pilots who expect a runway to be flat are in for a rude shock as there is a moderate increase in altitude going east to west. Pilots not expecting usually do a hard landing the first time as the ground...

When I read the title, I thought you were referring to safety. Apparently Air Asia Indonesia pilots struggle with DRW due to its uneven surface according to insiders. Am thinking am happy to fly to DPS with them, but maybe JQ back.

Just thought I would stir the pot with this article from Ben Sandilands How to boost productivity? Tax lounge use! | Plane Talking May it never happen

I remember in 1999 being curled up in a phone booth at a hostel in Montreal using a prepaid calling card. With a $10 card, I found myself struggling to use the umpteen minutes calling my then girlfriend back in Aus (now Mrs Here2go), especially with the timezone difference. Value for money was...

1800 Reverse for domestic. Calling cards everywhere else?
