    Virgin Australia to be sold to Bain Capital

    Just looking at a different slant to the bid from Bain Capital. They have 51% stake in the cruise company Virgin Voyages, with Virgin Group Ltd having 49%. They have 4 sister-ships planned between 2020 and 2023, with the first one steaming from USA to Europe now, but I don't know for what...

    United & Qantas together?

    I was just looking at the United Airlines website for flights from Florida to Cairns for a friend and it offered connecting flights operated by Qantas. Are there any rumours or information of deals between these two, considering they are members of different alliances?

    Wellington Airport o/night stay

    Thanks to all for their input. I've read that they may be lenient and allow people like me to sack out on seats on 1st floor, so I'll take a punt, as it's not worth booking a room for an hour or two.

    Wellington Airport o/night stay

    I'm doing a status run Cairns to Wellington 10 March 2020, arriving 2355, leaving 0650 next day. Everything seems closed except Subway and I don't want to go out drinking all night. Is there any problem hanging around the airport until the plane leaves?

    One way Airfare USA to Aus.

    I'll be coming back to Australia from USA mid-June 2016 after a cruise. Is there a way of getting a cheap one way fare with Qantas/AA?

    Why JetStar

    Quote "I didn't have to collect luggage UNTIL Brisbane." Unquote. I then re-checked after customs, but the baggage tag had already been made through to Cairns from the Gainesville AA desk. Less baggage collection means for less security checks, less connection time needed and therefore, less...

    Why JetStar

    I have no problem flying with Jetstar as a budget airline. What angers me is the need to re-check luggage on a connecting flight, adding time by collecting, re-checking, security, etc. When travelling from Gainesville (regional Florida) to Cairns via Miami, Los Angeles and Brisbane, I didn't...

    It might be worth looking at flyl4l.com (Fly Luxury for Less). They advertise big discounts for Business & 1st Class travel. I haven't used them myself, but would be interested to hear your experience if you try them. Happy travelling.

    Long layover in Los Angles

    Re: 5 hours to kill at LAX- Suggestions?? Do I escape the airport Suggest you DO NOT leave the airport. Have been to through LAX numerous times in different circumstances and security was the biggest hassle on trying to get back in once you've left the airport. It seems they cannot find, or...
