Saw this one today. Coincidence? Either that, or he is a pilot, or ATC

Hi, we're flying QF to DFW, and then onwards to MCO on AA (but not on the same ticket). We are QP members, will that get us into a lounge? The Q website lists the Gideon Toal lounge as the only one, which by the looks of the QF website, excludes QP unless we are flying QF. cheers

I have a Shell Card but rarely use it. Why? EDR points of course. I just pay for the fuel (at Woolies Caltex) with my EDR card /Amex and reap some points, and get reimbursed. The other day I was almost out of fuel (as show in my "ask the pilot" thread pic. I used a Shell. So I used my Shell...

I'm having a debate with the wife involving 1300 Phone Words, which is relevant to a business venture we are starting. If you saw a 1300 number on the back of a vehicle, what would be easier to remember: (a) - A "standard 1300 number such as 1300 04 44 04 or 1300 113 331 (bearing in mind that...

A freind of mine is currently in the US. Orlando, Florida. One of the stops on his itinerary was the Kennedy Space Centre. He has no car. Apparently, KSS dont run shuttles ( no pun intended) from Orlando. Apparently the taxi fare was about 300 dollars. Ouch. Wouldnt you have already worked out...

Air New Zealand | Woman kicked off flight over toddler Mother and children removed from flight. They say as he was not strapped in. She say"s "they never told me that". But, at least they had a quiet flight. The rest of the PAX that is.

We've all seen it in the movies right? After some brief gun battle, or airplane getaway, our hero is on the flight deck, relishing his getaway. Then, there's the ominous beeping. It's the fuel gauge Usually combined with a flashing LED, and the needle on zero. What does our hero do? Why, he...

Hi all, I'm trying to book some flights on American Airlines. If I go to AA.com.au the flights are around $300 each. If I go to aa.com they only cost $150 each, but as soon as you select the flights and go "next" an error message appears saying the flights/fares are no longer available, when...

Actually, what runways? Seen the thread about 738s using non paved runways? Well, I just got this link in my email from a friend. Forget runways, these guys are plane crazy (yes, that's not a typo) http://www.vid4fun.com/video_player/index.php?vid=103

Hi all, we are flying to BKK in December. I am a QP so that takes care of myself, Mrs VC and Miss VC. On this trip however, we are traveling with a friend. So the question is how the get her into the lounge? We are thinking of buying (on Ebay) a once-off pass, but we are flying BA, on QF...

We know that we have to have our liquids (carry on) in our little baggies. What's stopping a hundred terrorists, buying a hundred tickets on the same flight and pooling their liquid resources to assemble the "critical mass"?

HI, welcome to the USA West Coast AVC TR. Breakdown: Sectors flown – 3 Hotels stayed at – 4 Miles Driven – 1000 Shoes &Lego sets bought – far too many Now, don’t expect too many photos of soon-to-be-demolished meals (especially airline ones), but do expect details on how good the showers...

Just about finished writing my TR for USA and I'm wondering what the limit is for photos per post. Just so I can break it up into two or more posts. Cheers

Tomorrow, the VC clan (Mrs VC and Miss VC) head off to LA. Disney! My personal bag normally has my laptop, iPad, my fold up Sennheisers, and a bunch of leads. No camera (my phone suffices). But being that we are traveling with a 4 year old girl, and doing a road trip while over there, the...

Picked this one up today. And it wasn't easy to find let me tell you. Had to have it special-ordered in from my local computer store. Order in was in the "too hard basket" for any of the major resellers. Comes with adaptors for most countries, has 2 x USB (with enough output to charge an iPad...

I've noticed one of the hot topics is the "turn off all electronic devices", which leads to questions (and some heated debate) concerning: -What is off? Standby? Hibernate? Pull out the battery? -What about eReaders? -What if I get hit in the head by your iThingy during an emergency? -Who gives...

Has anyone used a private transfer for LAX to Anaheim? Arriving at 0635 (0200 Sydney time) with SWMBO and little Miss in tow, I'm certainly not going down the shuttle transfer route with "X" amount of others. I'm basically going to book a private car (well, prefer SUV). Any recommendations? I...
