    Did I make the right call re flight delays

    I always tend to reflect on most decisions that I make to see if I made the right call. Would be interested to hear what other AFF members would have done in similar circumstances for feedback. May make it easier to summarise the circumstances/what I did: Booked on MEL-SYD-DFW-BOS. Day...

    North East USA Blizzard Delays Thread (8-9 Feb)

    Given that the North East of the US is about to be hit by what's been described on FOX as a 'bad looking blizzard', I thought it would be worth starting a thread for advice, updates etc. as this is going to effect a lot of folks.

    So I hear some people telling me that these things are amazing and others saying they are just 'big iphones'. It seems from numerous threads that there are a hell of a lot of people on AFF who use these pieces of equipment every day. I've been tossing and turning about getting one - but...

    Is there really a need for an 'international terminal?'

    After just coming back from the US and flying VA LAX-MEL I often find it quite strange being in a terminal that had flights to DFW/JFK/MIA at a gate right next to my international flight back to Melbourne.
