    QF CEO Interview

    I find that quite offensive. I have no time for the way Joyce and the stuffed shirts on the Qantas board have conducted themselves, however to simply make an ethnic slur in my opinion is just not on. Mods, feel free to delete this account.

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Litres of dettol needed no doubt. Were their parole officers with them?

    Want to buy a new Mac laptop: What are my options?

    Is it dead or nearly? I'm a recent mac convert - about a year and a half - with a few machines all with applecare. It costs but so does a new machine with no support. It seems a pain but the backup and replacement if needed is second to none. Used for business or partly so it's a tax...

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    I find I rarely use my Honda Euro, so I kept it and bought a smaller Honda.

    Qantas Customer Service

    I too cancelled , but on a business RTW Award trip. The time taken to repay fuel fines and taxes was beyond an acceptable time. I have sent three PMs to you with no reply. Nothing. A few public tweets in Twitter for so many to see gets the message across and a reasonably quick reply and...

    Interlining luggage

    Thanks for the replies. I tried a local travel agent who told me AF does not allow open jaw bookings i.e. CDG-ATH-NCE. Pfft! I ended up booking on the AF website AF CDG-ATH, a four hour wait which hopefully should be enough taking in account all that can happen, then on to Santorini on A3 on...

    Interlining luggage

    I'm about to book an AF flight from CDG to ATH in Y, then on to Santorini flying OA. AF gives me 23kg of luggage but OA only allows 20kg. I'm fairly sure AF will interline with OA, but with regards to luggage, what will be the allowance for the entire journey? Will the most significant...

    Qantas Customer Service

    I recently received a voucher which was promised for compensation for an incident 18 months ago. It only took about five reminders. The good news it can be used on any OW marketed and operated fight. And it will be.

    Qantas thanks its most loyal customers

    Oz wines are commonly sold and readily available in supermarkets in France. Prices often less than here despite freight and a higher tax base, and with the currency exchange of late I expect it will be a bit less expensive again. And by the way quite a few of our mid range wines are seen as...

    AirAsia to start KUL-SYD ticket sales

    Recently did a number of flights on Air Asia in the region and traversed the LCCT a number of times. I was pleasantly surprised at the place. It had a good number of eating options at not outlandish prices and free wifi, unlike Australian airports. It was clean and those that work there...

    Where to encounter snow in Asia?

    Saw snow at the funeral of Kim Jong (very) Il and there was snow. Currently investigating things and hope to go to North Korea later in the year. It's probably not a ski destination though.

    Air Asia check in baggage

    I recently did a scenic and cheap tour of south east Asia using Air Asia out of KUL and quite enjoyed the experience. Much more than I was expecting. New planes, polite and cheerful FAs, amazingly good food, and my experience was punctual flights. I paid extra for the so called Hot Seats...

    Korean Air Trip Report

    Thanks so much for the trip on the return journey. It looks very good and well worth a try. The food looks excellent and the FAs seem to be trained to look after their pax. Very impressive. Just when I'm searching for a new airline to get me to and from Europe. I'll definately check prices...
