Good it was resolved. I must admit I've never had your problem with travel websites, but that said I usually use Skyscanner and Expedia.

Which purveyor of aviation are you referring to?

Check your roaming setup too - you may find you cannot access the phone anyway. I use Amaysim, and was in a spot of both of bother in Austria as I was unable to make a payment until I crossed they border back into Germany. Most prepaids limit the countries you can roam in, but configure your...

No, was looking at it the other day, now that MH will be flying from DRW, going via KUL is just as attractive as PER, and certainly less mucking around going between International and Domestic.

Just what every 22 month old girl wants, a portrait of a JNB busting BOAC VC10.

MH pulled out of Africa completely! Perhaps with LAN and TAM combining they may cross the South Atlantic to complete the loop? An even greater shame was the demise of the VC-10, which was specifically designed designed for BOAC to use at Johannesburg and Nairobi airports due to their high and...

I know slightly off-topic, ss there a OW flight from JNB to South America? Thinking a minimalist RTW AUS-JNB (side trip to Botswana to see family) then across to South America, dash of skiing in Ushuaia, before heading back home would be nice. MH used to do it.

JNB is a high and hot airport. I wonder if there will be reduced loads on departure?

You can get a Nokia Lumia 520 for $179 Prepaid. Windows Phone is a great travellers OS. Really Handy around Europe, much of Asia (forget Japan and Korea), beyond mobile phone reception in the NT, etc. Here Maps, the new brand of Nokia Maps, is powered by Navteq (owned by Nokia), which is used...

I don't know the answer, but this guy should. The Man in Seat Sixty-One - the train travel guide.... Please let us know how you go.

Didn't somebody say Rex was one of the most profitable airlines in the world? :)

Don't they have a fast train? More than Toowoomba gets (noting that Toowoomba is the biggest inland city after Canberra). Perhaps when the railway is extended to MEL we might see European style rail-codeshares (LOL - never in the English speaking world).

Living close to DRW, my 22 month old daughter can distinguish the difference by sound alone a plane and a helicopter. That said, it isn't hard - helicopters often fly low and over the top, and the whole house shakes when a Blackhawk/Seahawk or 19 seater en route to the Timor Oil Rigs comes by.

Contractor I had from NTL while I was in CBR commuted weekly between the two. Lots of points and no status. After a call to Qantas they let him keep his gold as they could see they had no service to compete on the route.

I would have to agree - I received a Jetstar Dollar email worth $100 the other day because of my CC - yet I am enrolled in QFF. Need to chase it up!

I have been looking at AirBNB for Tokyo accom. It would appear many places give you a 4G pocket WiFi for your mobile. No need to stress - live data!

It would be good to see a "Milk Run" DRW-Katherine-Tennant Creek-ASP like the ones on the East Coast, but these are only viable with Government subsidies in the absence of FIFO, which were withdrawn in the 80s. That said, in the absence of subsidies, both NT and Commonwealth do invest a lot in...

The boom has gone, so it will be interesting to see where VA creates growth where demand exists but opportunities at present are few. Toowoomba springs to mind, and with the new airport under construction it will be interesting to see what happens.

The FF issue on the 30th would not let me go past the details page for the travellers. Were you still having this issue? This is grounds for contacting the call centre and demanding a waiver to the fee - they did it for me.

Re: Malaysian Airlines Its about time that QANTAS go back to its roots, stopped pfaffing around with acronyms, and just called itself Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services. Yes, I know it is no longer an acronym.
