That's unfair hummel. If they were rating their website the needle would be broken & hanging off the bottom & you'd have to log in half a dozen times to view it.

APS : Australian Protective Services (they protect the pollies etc.) SES : Senior Executive Service (a job title / designation for senior public servants)

I doubt you'll make it - nothing against you but in my experience (& I know it's contentious) VA struggle with on time performance and they'll seem to be worse when you want to get somewhere in a hurry. On a positive note what about starting in Perth and using the overnight flight into Sydney to...

As others have said take the Hertz shuttle, it's free and they're usually plentiful although you can have to wait 10-15mins for them. They have a Gold counter / drop off and a regular one (from memory) and if your name is on the board you can carry your stuff to the car (sometimes there are...

Great work - I stayed there in 2011 in a King Deluxe Rome View room for 225 euros & it was excellent. The staff are very friendly (I recommend getting tour advice from the concierge) and also both of the restaurants serve excellent food (the one on the roof requires you to dress for dinner - the...

Well I just received: Dear James Take off with greater flight options when flying in Australia We're excited to announce the next stage of improvements to the way you search for cash and Award fares on qantas.com.^ From today you have greater visibility of Qantas & Partner...

I'd suggest changing your "place of residence" to the US so you don't get stung for extra charges just because you're an international (if you haven't already), using the Amex Platinum discount code (if you have one) or failing that there's some good discount codes on FlyerTalk for Hertz (and Avis).

re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April My mistake & I'll reserve judgement until Markis answers the questions posed by others. I've got a feeling that there might be a number of posters being banned for obscene language in the event that the way...

re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April I got the impression that Markis didn't get any more insider info than what was already on the forums, took a punt putting 2+2 together and getting a negative outcome and made a number of bookings. I'd come to...

re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April C'mon can't a guy dream? :P

re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April There's a very slim chance that QF are actually enhancing (in the standard definition of the term) all awards so that they all earn SCs ala Virgin. But if that's the case I doubt they'll be especially cheap &...

re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April That's ok - thanks for going to the trouble of getting that much info (along with the other callers who shared snippets too).

re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April Ansett's post begs the obvious question - will those flights earn SCs?

It might not be a bad idea to take a screenshot of points, upgrades available etc. in case things don't quite go to plan.

You can do it from Spirit of Australia | Qantas typing in Sydney and Dresden (which is probably a hangover from when BA used to fly LHR-DRS)

How about one that's in the dropdown list (DRS - Dresden) that you can't actually book even though EK (actually AB) will let you book it on their site? So just because it's in the dropdown list doesn't mean you can actually fly there.

Re: A complimentary subscription to the Weekend Fin Review To everyone that received this offer a year or so ago and might have failed to read the fine print it's a single year complimentary subscription which for some (like me) will have expired recently. The subscriptions people at AFR...

Hertz seem to find all sorts of new ways to overcharge including not checking vehicles back in properly (a Perth specialty), having an "estimated charge" on a reservation which doesn't include the correct location surcharge and now this. What next an "air in the tyres surcharge"?

Re: Appendix 1: Booking Class with One-Way and Return Searches I can assure you I feel they've gone down in price significantly since I booked some a few months ago. A west coast to mid west routing for me is now about $500 cheaper so as drewbles says you're probably just looking at the wrong...

I was going through security in Perth (VA) on Sunday night and the security guy watching the screen said about my bag "it's got a knife in it" which was obviously one of the superimposed ones - it was tempting to say "that's not a knife..." but I didn't have time for a cavity search :)
