    Changes to NetFlights

    FYI Having been a fan of using Netflights.com for my car rental needs in the U.S. to date this year (9 rentals so far) I was unhappy to note as of early this week you can no longer get rates or book cars via the internet. You now have to call a UK phone number or send an email to there...

    Yet another 744 seating question (SFO-SYD)

    Normally I could answer this myself, however, the seat map that is being provided by QF (Select Seats option in booking) and checkmytrip.com for SFO-SYD QF74 on Monday the 31st of August are slightly different. On CMT it is 2 - 4 - 2 which is Prem Econ, yet when I go into my booking it is 2 - 3...
