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 -...

I was reading this yesterday ... interesting history on subsonic flight. A harsh reality that I think I agree with .... flying is all about lower cost. not getting faster. If it only took 4hrs to fly to the USA, I'd be happy to pay for Economy if it cost the same as A380 Business Class (if...

I'm not much of a writer, so I'll keep this short. I thought I'd quickly share some thoughts on my trip I took yesterday over to Paris. Firstly, I stayed at the new Rydges that is connected to T1 at Sydney. As far as Airport hotels go, it was new and still had that new hotel smell. But what did...

I'll be over in Paris for the airshow, should be good! Paris Air Show - 17/23 June 2013

I was meant to fly QF HVB-BNE-SYD on Saturday, except I slept in and missed that flight. So I rebooked on QFLink to get me into BNE at 11.15. There are DJ flights every hour to SYD. Being cautious, I booked a DJ flight at 12. Hoping if I got in on time etc I'd move to the 11am one. I booked J...

G'day All. I am hitting PER in late July - and intending on booking J over there. 2 Day conference (Thurs/Fri) - so Fly in PER late Wednesday,and Leave PER to BNE at 11.30pm - arrive BNE about 5.30am Saturday, then there is a Q400 Flight up to Hervey Bay at around 7.30-8am so that works...

Hi All, I've been through SYD a few times this year, around 5-10 flights (In+Out) and have noticed that nearly all of these, have been delayed due to ATC being busy. I'm no Platinum FF like some here, but I've not ever really noticed SYD being so congested before.. Has something happened...

Hi All - been following the forums for a little while - finally have something interesting to share :-) Flying down to Sydney Yesterday from Hervey Bay - in perfect health, about half way through the flight, just after eating, I felt as if I had a bit of a light head, so I thought I 'd close my...
