I guess the email was from Nigeria. They tend to has a distinctive style.

I might have been tempted when I was (much) younger, if it saved a few $$$. But now... I couldn't begin to imagine a public bus journey from Campelltown to Badgerys Creek to start my oversears journey in J (with a basic generic lounge, at best, to comfort me while at the airport). With mainly...

Living in Canberra, usually by public transport. Either flying in from CBR or by train to Campbelltown, then changing for Mascot, then bus. Or, occasionally, Murrays bus direct to Intl terminal. If it's a very early flight I usually travel to Sydney the day before and stay overnight in a hotel...

Hey, Poochie, you've forgotten CBR. The lovely R3 bus will whisk you to the CBD in about 25 minutes for a princely sum of not very much (I don't know how much as it's free for elderly folk like me). But, yes, let's not forget the Tassie Govt. They'd rather spend taxpayers money on an AFL...

I could be considered to be a WSI "candidate". living in the ACT. Well, it's closer than KSA, but a hell of a lot harder to get to. As a J traveller, I would see absolutely no reason to fly out of WSI. Problematic location, no lounges worth talking about (if any at all), very little else to get...

It's certainly ticked me off. I don't fly a lot domestically, but I do fly quite a bit internationally. Qantas understands this, but obviously Bain don't. I guess we'll see within the next couple of years who had the best understanding of the market. Perhaps both, although if Qantas were smart...

Somehow, that doesn't sound quite right to me. A 10 year DL in the ACT costs nothing to me. Just a slight difference. I know that Germany can be expensive, but I'm having a problem with this.

Poor old Cliifford will weigh it up carefully, before and on the day. He has already reserved a Hertz car (corporate rates) but will check the weather forecast and several other things before making a final decision. At the moment, the rental car option is looking good. Anything to thwart those...

HAN is just a much nicer place.

And I can report in about 3 weeks, flying J KUL-MCT-LHR. I've transitted through MCT several times, and haven't been impressed with the WY lounge. Sure, it's all glitter and whatever, but from a food and drink perspective it left me rather underwhelmed. It's also far too brightly lit and open...

I wish him the absolute best of luck.

It would be hard to be CFO and not be involved.

Just another example of how Qantas prioritizes cost over customer safety.

I've never had an op up from Qantas either, but as QF OWE, I've had several from BA out of LHR. In the past I've also been upgraded directly from Y to F by UA on a 3-class transpac (747), and most recently, last year, from J to F on EY (787), based on my VA Platinum status. Not that VA have...

Well, of course, what else would they do? So imposing such a large fine is actually counterproductive as it will hurt the average Australian. No disincentive at all.

Well, OK, I guess from what you say you're not a fan of pets. One example of animals in aircraft cabins I can relate to you, where I had a personal experience of literally sitting next to a large dog on a plane, will possibly make you cringe then. I was on a UA 737 flight to DEN sitting in...

I'd be struggling to understand that. And what about the goldfish bowl syndrome, where all and sundry can gawk at you having your lovely meal?

TI thought the max you could roll over was 100.

It would be nice if there were an integrated backround spell checker. It would likely prevent a lot of fat fingered typos in posts. Virtually every other bulletin board etc has one, so why not AFF.

I hope you enjoyed the smoked salmon that went with it.
