    Cathay now also bans OW FF from pre-selecting seats

    I have 8 business class flights coming up with CX, as well as the odd Premium Economy flight. If this nonsense continues, it will deter me from booking CX. I hope that this was what Cathay was wanting.

    Release of 1000 Biz Rewards seats to Paris ( and more)

    I would agree with you. As someone who grew up in the UK and spent many family holidays in the South of France, I don't like Paris (or Northern France) all that much. If faced with the choice between Rome and Paris, I'd go for Rome every time. As I get older, I find I much prefer Italy to...

    Auckland Airport No trains until end of April

    Just doing a sample booking right now (21:19 SYD time) suggests the cost would be in the region of NZ$60. But of course, you could have done this too.

    Amazing Business Class Fares SOF-ADL R?T

    Of course, I wasn't born yesterday (perhaps the day before). But if you were to look a little more closely, you might see that these fares can be booked directly withe the airline, depending on the dates. If you're really interested you'll do the research. That's why I posted the fare. If not...

    Amazing Business Class Fares SOF-ADL R?T

    Yes, I was fully aware of that, but it didn't fit in with my arrangements in Europe. What's a couple hundred bucks anyway in the grand scheme of things? It's a really good fare and IMO, unlikely to be repeated anytime soon.

    Amazing Business Class Fares SOF-ADL R?T

    Just come across this fare which I am looking at booking. It seems widely available ATM, with dates right through to October, although it may not last very long. The fare is around AU$4,000 R/T, depending on the dates you choose. This is what I am looking at, as I already have a booking (which...

    Jetstar outage

    Very strange, it seems ok on the Andoid app, but not on the Windows PC. However, the flight seems to be operational at this stage.

    Jetstar outage

    Is it just me, or is the Jetstar website having problems? I can't display my flight in a couple of days time, which makes me worry a little. Maybe there's a few things Jetstar isn't telling us.

    Jetstar outage

    I'm supposed to be flying CBR-OOL on JQ next week. I really have to be there, so as a precaution, I've just booked (with cfar) VA CBR-OOL for the same day. I'm quite happy to fly VA if JQ cancels. Should've booked VA in the first place!

    Best Hotel you have stayed!!!

    Not really a hotel, but the houseboat on thr Dal lake in Kashmir in the 1970's was hard to beat, including cheap marijuan_ delivered daily (not that we were interested). An honourable mention goes to the Hotel Rossiya (RIP) close to Red Square Moscow, where we stayed in the early 1970's. At...

    2025 Black Friday flight & travel deals

    Bit of a niche thing, I guess, but Agean is currently having its Black Friday Sales Festival with "up to 70% off". It's actually quite a good sale IMO, as I've just booked HER-ATH-DXB in flex Y in late May for EUR 169 all-in. This fare was EUR 228 yesterday, so not a bad deal at all. I'd...

    Article: Why I Flew Jetstar to the AFF Melbourne Gathering

    I'm flying JQ CBR-OOL next week (JQ and God willing). I really don't like Jetstar, but, alas, they were the cheapest. So, if they throw a wobbly, I may be screwed, as I'm booked to fly QF OOL-CBR in J the next day (not direct, obviously).

    Alan Joyce writing a memoir

    Do we care about AJ? Not me. The less I hear about him the better. However, my cognition, intuition and imagination are fine, thanks.... Oh, and an honourable mention for Vanessa.
