If I were you I would investigate the baggage situation VERY carefully for the float plane flights. Depending on fare class the allowance can be from 50lbs (which is the absolute limit for a bag) to as little as TEN lb. Dimensions of baggage can be very restrictive also depending on aircraft...

I suspect that "non reward" flights description was an error? If so, I have certainly used AA miles for domestic flights within Australia. 10k for Economy, 20k for Business. Availability seems quite good when Ive looked/booked. My miles came mainly from the takeover of US Airways by AA in...

At least you haven't reached "A bit cross!";)

I hope its the same in SYD! My plan is to arrive in the afternoon... :)

I was reminded by the "lead" story upthread! On my way to yet another series of overseas pistol competitions and I was planning to load my ammo once I got there (using a US friends loading machines...One is only allowed 5kg of ammunition in checked baggage..which is barely enough for one...

Just another data point...Submitted mine at about 2100 last night....(Thanks to this thread for reminding me! lol) "Status Change" email at 0100.

I travel exclusively for target shooting competitions.. everything I have with me must be just about BATHED in primer/propellant residues....yet I have never had a problem with the swab tests... <shrug> I can only assume the residues from shooting are NOT the nitrates or whatever the machines...

That seems to be the case right now. Hope it changes soon...

Darwin in June for the National "IPSC" match. Initially booked the direct CBR-DRW flight operated by Alliance...QQ? (and at a civilised hour).. then that was cancelled and I was moved to QQ/ QF metal CBR-BNE-DRW arriving at 1 am... Ugh... Then in August off to Poland for the first...

These are my favourite aircraft photos!:) (I didn't take the shot of the Twin Pioneer...but I still like it a lot!)

2 days for me...and yes, any excuse to be out and about!

Yes..I was joking about the parachute use! But thank you! Overturning did NOT occur to me.... obvious in hindsight (as most things are lol). "Terrible off roaders"...classic line that! Glad the crew were both safe...hope they didn't suffer any injuries....

Not sure who this "they" who complain "about anything" is..... ;) (Canberra resident here) Well...I'll complain about one thing. Wish it had been made clear it is a FLOATPLANE service they are proposing......Got all excited for a moment....:D Sounds like a good idea to me....there are...

Seems a bit odd.... if it was going slow enough to "trundle" to a stop... why eject? I can only assume there was a danger of an engine explosion??? Given how the pilots I know feel about the very THOUGHT of using a parachute I can only assume they had very good reason!

The problem is not Emotional Support Animals. The problem is the abuse of the ESA system to fly what are just pets, without paying the pet fee. Were there to be ACTUAL medical certification requirements for the passenger and training requirements for the ESA then most objections would...

Have registered for 2 major competitions - in New Mexico and then British Columbia late August/early Sept 21. (Simply because registration opened this month, and if you wait even a month you are likely to miss out - they sell out, and quickly) These are both refundable or transferable...

Had a booking for 3, CBR-TSV for June this year..which ended up as a conditional credit. As soon as they opened up bookings for those credits online I had a look at replicating the trip for similar dates next year. I found that ALL the fares that were available for cash were also available...

A different angle....Sorry.......lol (There was an IMAX camera in the other aircraft...)

Was lucky and only had a domestic trip booked...for 3 of us CBR-TSV in June. Had booked with VA, so was only offered the travel credit. Was extremely pessimistic/cynical about that, but after those funds became accessible online I rebooked the trip for new dates next year. Pleasantly...

Navy too. A friend who was a QF FO was very pleased to get some "Full Time service". I think he sees his airline career as over though.
