Whys is the MKY refresh taking much longer than the others, I wonder?

Let's meet and I'll throw one at you I've recently caught from Lake Burley Griffin.

Must be an old pic. Castelnau?

Travel plans. Tell me about it. I have a ticket for 3 weeks time MNL-AUH-MXP. I don't have a good feeling about it actually happening (you know why). So I would love for the flights to be cancelled, so I can get my money back, and change my holiday to Thailand. Flying through the ME will be a...

I already do that and nothing happens. I guess the marketing head honcho has had their budget severly cut back.

But maybe they could get it wrong in Sydney too (WSI?). And, yes, the Metro line from IST goes to nowhere in particular, if you're wanting to go to the city. I usually try to take the public bus to where I am going (not downtown, if there is such a place in Istanbul), it's more convenient, for me.

I have a J ticket on EY, MNL-AUH-MXP for 3 weeks time. I don't expect to fly (the flights likely will be cancelled), but I do expect a full refund from Etihad. That being the case, I'll go to Thailand instead (perhaps I should've booked that in the first place). BKK and CNX, with a little...

Well, as I'm 1,800 SC's away from LTG and also interested in maintaining WP, I'm still focussing on SC's for the next couple of years.

I think we'll worry about all that after the rail line has been built and trains are running . Not in my lifetime, I think.

You seem to have a benign view of things. I'm booked to fly through AUH on EY in 3 weeks time, and I don't have the good feel that you have. I don't see the regime - there will be many survivors - being subdued anytime soon, even if their missile coughnal is depleted. I expect they will have an...

My prediction. It's going up (but maybe not tomorrow).

I always go to the Fyshwick depot. It's corporate, while Mitchell is a franchise, hence the difference. If you want a trouble free ride, just pay for the all-inclusive insurance. As someone who's using a corporate code, it's not all that expensive, and will save you a lot of hassles.

I'll stick with seats.aero, thanks.

This is going to get quite messy I think. Will be interesting to see how my Etihad flight goes in a few weeks time.

Good for you. You've made your decision and it works for you. That's what it's all about,

Yes, that's probably what I would have done. I don't think it would have been a problem (either way).

That's interesting. Many years ago I was flying EK in Y from DXB to SIN (I think) in a middle row seat (just lucky I guess) and my seat neighbour (a lovely British older man) did seem to like the odd red wine. I was also drinking red (miini bottles of course), but at a moderate rate. My...

I'm not getting too excited about it right now. It's Qantas we're talking about, right?

Yep, my bad math. But still pretty good. seats.aero helped.

Well, in the end, I managed to find a half decent PC+ CR status run from CBR in September. Business Class CBR-SYD-BNE-MKY R/T for 58,000 pts and $500, giving a return of 224 SC.
