How many newbie TR posters start posting their TRs the day before they depart on their trips, medhead? The Cross has been on my list of places I want to go and see for decades, medhead. Your mentioning of which trains usually service the stations and lines it's on simply moved it up the...

I have 2 pair of Ansett Australia headphones, from when some friends of mine roped me in to helping them out and being in their group in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian MardiGras 2001. One pair is the ones I used on the flight, the other is an unused pair still in their sealed bag. I wish I'd had...

serfty, is it possible to know in advance what food and drinks will be available on a QF flight? With DJ it is simply a case of going to the V-licious website and reading the menu. Jenifur Charne

They might be on your PMP, but how many of the MP3s you list are actually about air travel? None, I would suspect. http://www.frequentflyer.com.au/community/playground/21103-aff-itunes-playlist.html#post289404 Jenifur Charne

Re: im sorry Qantas but you really have gone downhill... why? I loved Qantas for so l Maybe we need the OT posts in this thread moved to a new thread. Title suggestion: QF vs DJ price and value for money comparison Jenifur Charne

Glad you liked the TR of an air travel newbie. :) It was indeed on the Thursday that I did the trip. I didn't think to use the net cafes for internet access to see if there were any AFFers in T3 at the time I was unexpectedly there. For the final part of the day, getting home from BNE DOM...

And here's the last part of my TR. It took me an hour to find Baggage Blues, and it was the Qantas lost property desk at T3 that told me clearly where Baggage Blues was. I got my suitcase back, then returned to T3 to check in for the QF flight, stopping in at the Qantas Lost Property desk to...

At Town Hall station, I had a 15 minute wait for the next train to Central. My luck with mis-timing public transport was holding at 100% for the day. The train I caught back to Central was an R set, and at Central, it was a 13 minute wait for the next train back to SYD T2, an S set. No luck at...

Thanks for the comments, drron and doc james. :) I'm just a newbie to air travel, and due to my finances, will always be one who is an infrequent flyer. As for the trip, having grown up on the Gold Coast, the idea of visiting tourist places doesn't grab me at all, so I'd planned the trip as...

Re: im sorry Qantas but you really have gone downhill... why? I loved Qantas for so l Quite agreed medhead. As has been shown by the posts of both drron and Straitman, the blanket claim in my initial post in this thread was in error. The point you make about there being no value in...

Re: im sorry Qantas but you really have gone downhill... why? I loved Qantas for so l Thanks for that information, drron. :) I really should have done more checking on different dates and departure/arrival locations. :oops: Might I ask which fare types your post refers to? Jenifur Charne

Re: im sorry Qantas but you really have gone downhill... why? I loved Qantas for so l extracta's assertion that Qantas is more expensive than other airlines is one I find myself in almost complete agreement with. Looking at domestic travel, and excepting the lowest of the fare types...

Departing the plane at SYD, I had a brief look at the retail and food court area, before heading down to the station to catch the train to central. Any hopes for a recent train such as the Tangara or Millenium were to be dashed, as what turned up was an old C set. Exiting from the platforms...

Updating my TR with the posts of how the day itself went. I'll split the TR into 3 posts. BNE DOM, Sydney shopping, and SYD DOM. The day seemed to be one for screw-ups and things not going as planned. Plans to be nice and early in getting to BNE did not work as expected. I was running late...

Having staff in the right place caught Qantas last night for the 9:05pm CityFlyer, QF556. They had to fly in FA from MEL for this flight, which had a number of extra pax from cancelled DJ SYD-BNE flights. Waiting on the extra FA staff meant that the boarding of QF556 did not start till near on...

That is the exact luggage scale I purchased from a bargain shop here in Brisbane, in preparation for yesterday's day trip to Sydney. The price I paid was $6.95, so going on the post by Flashware, I would say that the mob are charging the item's retail price as its P & P. For a quick way to see...

I'm just a newbie to flying, and a Nothing Red in Velocity, heading down to Sydney on VirginBlue for a daytrip shopping. BNE-SYD -24hours: Opened the DJ site in Safari for Windows, to use OLCI as planned. Entered my info, clicked Next, and immediately hit a problem: the OLCI won't work with...

The PDF maps on the website for BNE DOM date to August and September 2007. BNE Domestic Ground Floor 2007-09-17 BNE Domestic First Floor 2007-08-07 All those old maps are good for is a very basic guide of then current layout of the airport. Jenifur Charne

How about providing a link to a decent resolution copy of the pic you are talking about, so those who don't live in Canberra can see what is being proposed for CBR. Jenifur Charne

I'm flying DJ next week and could have easily nabbed that one, if I'd not been planning on using OLCI. Jenifur Charne
