    Australian women on Qatar flight internally examined

    Utterly appalled at this occurrence! Yes I was considering a flight to Ireland to scatter my late wife’s ashes and was going use this airline because of the direct flight but I already had reservations about the cultural attitude on gay people as I have a gay son but this has defined my...

    Worst in-flight meal you've received?

    I strongly believe in allowing someone to have their say within the rules of “ speech with responsibility “ . Would I accept a handshake or a beer from this individual? No I wouldn’t but that is my personal response.

    Europcar discount with Etihad
