What is it about flying that makes me want to go back for more? Talking more about leisure travel here. For me, there is a slight fear factor whenever I get on a plane, yet it still does not stop me! It's almost as if there is a slight rush and a sense of achievement that I've overcome this...

Easy . . . just do what you're instructed to do by the people who work on the plane! Have heard that QF has a new system of noting incidents with difficult pax - ends up on a file which can be accessed when determining which pax get complimentary upgrades. Incidents can occur on the ground at...

I'm thinking that there is only a certain allocation for point upgrades for each flight - once the allocation is full, it doesn't matter whether there are other spare seats. They are not available for point upgrades. Once catering is finalised, people aren't able to be moved to Business/First...

Are you assuming here? If you know about it as a single passenger travelling there, don't you think the check in agents, who check in plane loads of people to India would know? Ultimately, passengers are responsible for doing some research and finding out what they need for countries they...

No such things as Public Holidays or Christmas at the airport!

John who???

I find it unusual that you were asked to move from an aisle to a window seat - unless the plane was extemely full and this was the only option. There is nothing wrong with saying 'no' but just remember next time you are flying with friends/colleagues or family and have been split seated -...

Have Victorinox Werks handcarry and love the way the handle turns for an ergonimically sound natural grip whilst walking. It also fits very nicely under the seat in front. Enough room to pack the essentials. Also have a 4 wheeled Samsonite Xion handcarry and larger versions for checkin - these...

The fact is he was on an Air France flight and ticket - there was no need to mention QF. AF codeshares with a whole lot of other airlines who were not mentioned in the article and thus not associated with the unfortunate death. Perhaps they thought the nationality of the pax was worthy cause to...

Has anyone ever thought that this works the other way around? Yes the many disgruntled, irrational passengers who have full view of the FA's full name on their ID? I wonder if they've ever been 'tracked down' and threatened or had someone try and pick them up?! Hmmm.:-| Best advice is not...

. . . and sometimes it just comes down to the basics. Passengers actual expectations, their last experience and whether they are generally fed up with lots of other things in life and can never be happy with anything! Didn't get upgrade = bad flight Didn't get seat that I really wanted and had...

try Radio City Apartments - you can't get any more central! Although may be slightly over your budget - but you can save on eating out, as they are fully self contained, and you can walk to everything instead of forking out money for transport...

I thought they had their Netbank problem rectified. Still can't seem to log on! Anyone else trying?

Well I had my eyes closed most of the flight and I was in the aisle with my colleague in the centre seat and a poor unfortunate pax next to window. Thank goodness the stranger didn't have to go to the toilet during the flight. I will never forget the FA (and I don't mean to offend anyone), but...

The engines were making a constant (LOUD) revving noise, my lawnmower has a smoother sound - had my hands covering my ears most of the flight with my eyes closed, whilst I hummed to myself! :shock: The only saving grace I had was when I saw the planes that they fly to San Jose (which was...

Definte no no! Could also be someone who has just claimed it on their end of year tax expenses and then are offloading it! A bit of double dipping perhaps? Sounds dodgy to me!

Very easy! Not a long walk at all, sans baggage! Take the lift to the checkin area or escalators. My biggest hurdle was getting on that old MD80 a/c that they use to SFO! Shocking flight, seated in row 32, with a window view of the engine!

No, you don't! About the B-2 Tourist Visa Citizens of most countries need a visitor visa (B-1 Business Visa or a B-2 Tourist Visa) in order to enter the United States. The visa application process has become more complex over the recent years due to increased scrutiny of most applicants. The...

Paper Toss XE Currency Skype Google Netbank eBay PayPal Flight Control Pocket Maps WildWest Pinball Fantasy Lense Could never go back to a 'normal' phone! I love the voice commands via Google on the 3G S.

Yes - very doable! Have done it myself. Will most likely have to go to a transfer desk to get the boarding card for Narita but he won't see the bags in Sydney!
