Re: Air New Zealand Can I ask, what website is this screen dump from?

After reading this lengthy thread and some of the posts from previous years, not sure if I am now better informed or my head has exploded:) For the pros out there, most of my travel in the next 12 months will be 1 trip from Perth to Sydney with my wife and 2 x Perth to Melbourne on my lonesome...

I was overweight mainly due to a chronic back complaint where I have had two fusions and three lamenectomies amongst countless other procedures as a result of a car accident and of course my weight crept up to the point I weighed 118kg for a 176cm person. I couldn't/can't lose weight by...

I worked for one of the big 4 banks for 30 years from a teller to a Branch Manager to senior management roles at the area and regional levels. I can assure you that Customer Service within all banks is paramount. When Ralph Norris's pay was linked to the Customer Service Index that was all...

Did a quick search and I cant see that this has been posted previously but for a good read about costs of FF programs and how some managed to take advantage. The unlimited option would have been something Ansett would have offered. The frequent fliers who flew too much - latimes.com

We have stayed at the Nathan Hotel Cnr Nathan Rd and Saigon St Yau Ma Tei which is right next to Mongkok and a 10 minute walk form the middle of Kowloon. It is 5 min from the Night Markets and 10 minutes from the ladies market in Mongkok and all the PC and electrical markets. Four star and...

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but was about to pay my corporate QC membership today when I noticed that it has increased from $215 to $310. This is a very large increase even for the big Q. Has every one else woth corp memdership copped the same increase? Also, can you put your QC...

As the classic saying goes, London to a brick, we will never hear of the outcome. As a person who travels at least monthly through Australia and around quarterly to SE Asia for business, all my bookings are done via my assistant in my name personally so I get the FF points and paid for on my...

Great little article on video on the sheer waste in this world around planes. They should have put them on ebay or offered them to the AFF. We could have solved their problem Brazil's Plane Cemeteries

As Opusman wrote earlier, there has been 3 days and umpteen pages of suggestions, some good, some indifferent and some downright evil yet we have heard nothing from the OP even if they have phoned QF and asked their advice. Methinks we will not hear nothing as it may simply have been a...

Gee Rok, you are a far better person than me as even if wouldn't bankrupt me, I would still not let it go. In the end a trust was broken and that is always what sticks in my mind not the money. What I would do is ring Qantas NOW, waiting until tomorrow or when you have time makes it a non...

Great post MEL_ which is not going overboard and sets out the concerns that many have. Not necessarily paranoia just old fashioned concern. On top of all that, not one bloody CFX, LHR, QFF, PAX etc etc. Plain old English and I bet it didn't take you 2 hours to post despite no acronyms or...

Did you give them back their change from the $50-00?

The crack problem continues Another big Q A380 with crack problems and this time it is acknowledged. I know every new model has teething problems but these are usually minor. Continuing issue of cracks to me is a major issue especially when the plane is taken out of service albeit probably for...

Love all our First World problems. Whilst I appreciate all the inconvenience you encountered especially with your wife's illness, I would focus more on just that and helping her with recovery, life etc. Really, everything else pales into insignificance. As a side note, I worked for 30 years...

The crux of the matter is no planes are safe. I mean how can these bloody things fly, it is not possible. No wonder alcohol was invented. Did you notice the next "news"article. I can just imagine the future of air travel if this catches on. Latvian airline starts selling cars during flights

Sorry guys & gals, don't know what the source of this is as I saw the post on a blog but there was no refernce to where the article was sourced. It was dated 27 January 2012. Seems these little A380 crack stories wont go away. Cracked: six Singapore Airlines A380s have wing issues...

Pretty commonsense advice but we have all been a little guilty of some of these especially in recent times of point 1 OUT OF AFRICA: 10 Things NOT To Do While Traveling On Safari

This is a US article and I cant see it ever happening however Bank's are gaining more power within Australia and are catching up to their US counterparts very quickly as the recent decision by some of the big 4 to now set interest rates outside of the RBA's monthly recommendations. If it ever...

One day when I get all those letters listed on my profile like some in this group, I am going to treat myself to one of these Best First Class Airline Seats
