    Pax kicked off Air NZ flight for ignoring safety briefing

    I've had an idea in the back of my head for a while now. Invite some FFs to do a safety course with practical demonstrations. Complete the course and you get priority and free access to exit seats. I'm sure everyone would be happy knowing the exit row passenger has some training and accepts the...

    2015 Gallipoli Ballot - 100th anniversary of the ANZAC landings

    Most of the other tour companies have required passport details. I think the hotels require it.

    I have had enough.... [Offloaded after Flight not called in VA lounge]

    Instead of hanging around the desk, checking your watch, why didn't you go to the gate? It is your responsibility to be on time, no one else's.

    Salvaging a JQ Starter Plus Fare

    I've been checking flights syd-hnl but there's none available after late October. Does this mean the route is being discontinued, or jetstar is being lazy? I thought they'd be sold around 12 months beforehand.

    Chance to dine at Rockpool Bar and Grill with Lesley Grant

    I'm flying SYD-ADL the day before to start a holiday. I suppose I could fit in a day trip to Sydney.

    Salvaging a JQ Starter Plus Fare

    Thanks for your replies. I had a look at the business fares and got rid of that idea, so I'll just change the dates on my flights when they become available.

    Salvaging a JQ Starter Plus Fare

    A few months ago I purchased a trip SYD-HNL return on Jetstar. It now looks as if I will be unable to get time off work then. Fortunately I haven't booked anything else. It appears I can change only the flight date or upgrade to business. The easy solution is to change the dates to Christmas/New...

    Hurricane Sandy aftermath n.e. coast of US, phone number for aaadvantage elite

    I don't have a number, but I was in a similar situation last year when NY was shut down on the day I was going to travel. Start thinking now about how flexible you can be with your travel date. Can you bring it forward or delay it . I don't know where the weather will hit but think about going...

    Avis Preferred at MEL

    Hi, I'm hiring a car down in Melbourne tomorrow, and it will be the first time with Avis Preferred. Also, I am unfamiliar with the hire car locations. Where do I go and what do I do? Is there a board I need to find my name on, and is it in the terminal or the yard?

    A chance to win with Qantas and British Airways

    In these competitions, the T&Cs usually say FF points are not included. Does that include SCs?

    Could you fly the plane in an emergency?????????

    I think mythbusters found that without assistance your chances are not good. If you can figure out the radio and get talked through the landing you should be able to do it. Considering the probable scenario of not doing anything is a crash, you wouldn't make the situation any worse by having a go.

    [AA->QF] Can I check luggage through to SYD from JFK?... and LAX Flounge

    Checking your baggage through shouldn't be a problem. Just show the AA staff your e-ticket details (not just the pnr). Keep your baggage reciepts. I'm not sure about the BPs, but you probably need to go to a qantas desk at LAX to show the bag reciepts and get the BPs.

    Flying with carry-on only

    In a few weeks I'll be flying Syd - Mel for one night to see the Grand Prix. It will be the first time I have flown with carry-on only for an overnight trip. If I have read the QF website correctly, I will be able to take both a small roll-on case and a small backpack. Is this right? Also, are...

    Advice for Dallas connecion

    It's all sorted now. I went up to the QC, they got my passport details and reissued my BP. Not having to get my baggage and recheck in has certainly saved alot of hassle.

    Advice for Dallas connecion

    I am now in DFW. I cleared us immigration in Toronto, so that is not an issue. Watching a BA flight board, they want connecting pax to go to the gate and check passports. That may be what I have to do.
