    Currently waiting to disembark QF516 but we are being held on the plane due to a security breach in the terminal. So how long does it take to sterilize a terminal?

    Pre-allocated exit row but then expected to pay

    Haven't heard of this before, but when I was doing some advance seat selection on an upcoming SYD/SIN trip I got a nice surprise - they had allocated me an exit row seat on the way back (QF6). That's noice, thinks I, but then when I clicked <Next> it invited me to pay for the seat that I had...

    Electronic Travel Authorization Required for Your Upcoming Trip to the U.S.

    Sounds innocuous enough, and the email from Continental goes on to give details of the real ETSA site not the ripoff sites that charge money for this free service. My concern is that I have no travel details booked, but I had recently priced some options with AA and Continental for internal USA...

    One way to OWE awards?

    I am in need of a cunning plan, and this seems like a good place to find one. I would like to take my family to the UK (London, Edinburgh), France (Paris) and Vietnam (Saigon). I would like to do this with points for as many of us as I can manage. I would like to do this over...
