    Qantas Rush Hour Sale at 4PM today

    What annoys me, is I would actually be happy to pay for 3 economy tickets @ $879 each = $2,600~ and be a be a fairly lie flat (better than Y+) .. if only Qantas allowed that.

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Other half was meant to by flying on QF15 today, which is cancelled. What was weird, they automatically moved her flight to go via Dubai! It was a classic award J, and they maintained that all on EK metal. If it was me, I'd have taken that for the joy ride, but she's a nervous flyer, so I...

    New QF Domestic Routes (MEL-CFS, SYD-HTI)

    Happy about the HVB route. Though at the same time as VOZ so no massive benefit :-(

    Travel insurance - optional or essential?

    Like any insurance, it's a form of gambling. When I used to travel a lot less, I didn't worry about it. Now that' I've been doing a few more trips Internationally, (US, Europe, Asia etc) It's a must. Doing just domestic / NZ flights I wouldn't keep the annual policy. Like others said, it's...

    Airline lounge war could prove futile for Qantas and Virgin

    Ha, true, you'd only have to check the likes of instagram or twitter to see narcissism at it's best with announcements of every movement made inside a "special room" by people who suffer from the "status" issue.......

    Airline lounge war could prove futile for Qantas and Virgin

    Reading this and thought, who better to discuss but this group :) "Former Ansett marketerMaxwell Winchester argues that Qantas and Virgin are risking alienating ordinary customers by concentrating too much on those who turn left." Airline lounge war could prove futile for Qantas and Virgin -...

    New options to upgrade with Virgin Australia & Velocity Frequent Flyer

    Re: Bidding for upgrades Just got the email about it. Nice to see some initiative. I like AirNZs system, works well, Sometimes J can't be justified (for me) but the $$ value half way between is fine. Actually trying AirNZ's system next month for first time too. <CheapShot> Since you do it...

    Velocity/Virgin websites are RUBBISH

    Yeh it's such a frustrating experience - as far as web user experience goes, I don't think there is a single thing done right. As other people have mentioned, the checkin process is just so hard, and the lack of a SSO is ever so frustrating. I flew VA first time this year last month, and...

    Too cheap to fly fast

    I'm not really positioning my thoughts on Concorde, No doubt if it was attempted again these days, It'd be done differently. (Premise of the original article, flight at M5 etc)

    Too cheap to fly fast

    I don't really like flying, so If I could fly to the States in 3-5hrs, ie, 3-4 times faster, I'd totally justify paying more. Also, I wonder how planes at those speeds, ie, MACH 2-4 deal with turbulence, I know they fly higher, but surely that doesn't mean no bumps?

    MEL-CDG return $4995 flying MH in J

    I can attest to this. It was great. If you wanted to get to LHR. Just get the train from Charles De Gaule to Paris Gare du Nord station, get the Eurostar to London and BAM. 2hrs you're in the CBD of London. Business or Premium Economy on Eurostar doesn't cost much, and it's amazing how well it...
