    Recommendations for USA Sim Card with Data

    T Mobile prepaid is available for the iPhone. I believe it's $2 per day for unlimited talk and text. Data is unlimited, but is throttled after a certain amount. You can put any amount on to ensure you don't over spend. Just make sure your phone is unlocked before you go. Enjoy the trip!

    Not all EK destinations in Africa have QF flight numbers.

    I made by fortnightly call to QANTAS last night as I was also getting inconsistent results across sites. I'm trying to book CNS - NBO and do not want to go through Jo'burg. The agent told me the following: 1. You can now book to Cairo on Qantas via Dubai. The price was still just over $3000...

    Qantas / Emirates tie up (Partnership inc. Codeshare, Status)

    Just an update - QF never did call me, but I've called them back. I was able to find the routing on Kayak from CNS - NBO via DXB quoted as AU$5616. When I called QANTAS, their price was over $5900! The QF Rep said that they have not finalised price negotiations, so this route is only available...

    Qantas / Emirates tie up (Partnership inc. Codeshare, Status)

    Hi There! I have also been keeping an eye out for flights to NBO. We live in CNS, so it makes no sense to fly via JNB. I called the QF Platinum line today and asked which cities are in the partnership in North Africa. I was placed on hold for several minutes and the agent returned saying...

    Tipping at the Sydney First Class International Lounge

    Hi There, I recently received a massage at the Spa in the First Class International Lounge in Sydney. I was curious if others leave a tip. I received a very nice 25 minute massage and the therapist provided some great advice during out chat. Upon leaving, I gave him a tip. When I sat in the...

    'Delta' Vs 'V Australia' - Australia to USA flights

    I seem to remember that the premium shows (like HBO Series) had a price per episode. The mainstream IFE (including newish movies) was free. There was a series that I was excited to see and then I was prompted for a credit card. Again, this was over three years ago, though.

    'Delta' Vs 'V Australia' - Australia to USA flights

    I've only flown on Delta to the US, so I cannot compare. I will also say that I flew in July of 2009 when they first offered the service. The question on the IFE is an interesting one because about 30mins into the flight, my IFE went all black. To spare you all the painstaking details, we...

    Extra Premium to connect LAX-SFO

    I discovered the exact same thing trying to get to the east coast of the US. The fare difference was $700 to book the exact same flight separately on AA. I called the platinum number and asked what was happening. The agent agreed that it seemed strange and tried the same booking for me. She...
