    AA Status Run - Nice little earner

    Not sure where you are seeing $236??? (March 30th is $357 and so on for the next week+) I check that sector pretty much every day and the best fare since last week is $263 - $283 ($ 221.80 - $242.79 fare + taxes) Pretty much as soon as the fares changed I booked my July flights and a few more...

    Rental in USA for 1-2 weeks.

    I used Netflights for 3 of my bookings last month. Mostly large SUV's (Tahoe) and through Alamo (previously everything was with Thrifty) I have found that the Platinum package is only available at select locations, and does not seem to be available on a lot of one way rentals. FWIW, of the 6...

    Farewell QF 81/82 run SYD-ADL-SYD [Sat 13 -Sun 14 April]

    I have just gone over a bunch of pages and may have missed this, however... Has anything in regards to time/place been worked out for meeting prior to going into the FLounge on the 13th? i.e. At the First check-in area at like 9am (to maximise FLounge time) Also, I am not sure if RedRoo is...

    Farewell QF 81/82 run SYD-ADL-SYD [Sat 13 -Sun 14 April]

    Re: Farewell QF 81/82 run SYD-ADL-SYD [Sat-Sun Apr 13-14] I arrived at the FLounge yesterday just as they were transitioning from Breakfast to All Day Dining, and yes, the Eggs Benedict was still listed. That is normally my poison of choice, but after already having had some eggs earlier in...

    Re: Farewell QF 81/82 run SYD-ADL-SYD [Sat-Sun Apr 13-14] Should it be made mandatory that hi-viz vests (and/or shoes) are worn? :rolleyes:

    Farewell QF 81/82 run SYD-ADL-SYD [Sat 13 -Sun 14 April]

    Re: Farewell QF 81/82 run SYD-ADL-SYD [Sat-Sun Apr 13-14] You do realise the only other row forward of 24 is taken…. so back off ;-) Well unless you want to go to the dark side and sit in the middle section (I think A & B are already taken) That is of course irrelevant if you plan on...

    Do you own Qantas shares or work for Qantas?

    Oh yes… I know that, I am more referring to when the shares were first issued and barely worth the paper stock they were written on. Like Tim Cook has recently stated… Only Oil Companies are doing better in regards to valuation etc

    Do you own Qantas shares or work for Qantas?

    I have to ask, what relevance does this have to peoples opinions? Surely this is a to stir the pot? Holding shares is a business/financial matter, which should remain confidential Personally I hold shares in many companies, not due to the fact I like them, but where I see a return to my...

    QF to Vancouver

    Considering HA effectively do SYD-HNL-SEA-HNL-SYD with an A332 (previously B763) there would be no problem replicating that (given that there is little difference in distance between YVR & SEA) (The HA route used to be the same B763 used on all sectors, now they sub the A332 from/to SYD on to...

    New QF A380 reconfiguration!!!

    And here I have been flying under the radar hoping my old config QF11 on the 10th of Feb was going to stay as is.... and at 9pm last night it changed :-( (Yes, sad to say I checked it at 8.30pm and it was still just J & Y+ upstairs, not anymore) That is 8 less seats in my Y+ to J upgrade...

    Having done Banff for a few Christmas trips some years back, that would be something I would certainly do again. Vancouver as mentioned is a good option as well

    Whats the best USA sim card deal at the moment?

    Has anyone had any experience with Globalgig? ( Globalgig - Low cost data roaming in the US, UK and Australia ) I am considering the 5GB plan they have, and suspending the service after 3 weeks of being in the US then paying the reconnect fee for another 3-4 weeks in a couple of months time...

    VA or Qantas to LA?

    The cost difference is less when you factor in the potential $160 for seat allocation on VA (4 x $20 each way) Plus the added benefit of priority check in, and potential lounge access make it a easy choice IMO Having flown both QF & VA on the SYD-LAX sectors, I find the QF economy and premium...
