    Qantas and Air NZ announce codeshare partnership

    This will solve the issue I have had before - you can book Sydney to Rotorua on line - Eticket comes back QF to AKL and ANZ to Rotorua. No lounge access in AKL and a few hours in the layover.

    Smoke alarm sensitivity

    Not that I was aware of- it must have been a bit of misdirected spray - but I will revert to roll-on from now on as I do not want to chance a second occurence

    Smoke alarm sensitivity

    Embarrassment - just found out why QF changed the small can of Rexona in the Fist Amenities Kit to a roll on, when I used a small can from my bag while freshening up coming into SYD this AM. The triggering of a smoke alarm results in a full crew emergency response, much banging on toilet door...

    When DYKWIA becomes the full <airline> tanty

    Mrs geoffm hates the status thing, priority boarding etc. We were flying OOL -SYD boarding call in lounge, Mrs decides it is then time to go and rearrange hair etc for trip. She finally emerges and I drag her to the boarding gate to see big lines waiting to board. Grab her by the hand and push...

    I'm running out of cellar space

    Just a small hitachi 2.5Kw runs 24/7 - not sure on the actual consumption though. I know its a lot less than the larger ducted system through the house that makes the meter spin like a Frisbee!

    I'm running out of cellar space

    I constructed my cellar by converting a room - insulated the walls and ceiling and applied 2 layers of water resistant plasterboard. Solid core door with door seals all round. Has a small split system aircon which keeps a constant 16.5 degrees - condensate drain to a vessel inside the room to...

    Any complimentary QF transfer Domestic - International at Brisbane ?

    I was not asked nor did I have a bp last week - I had a flight out international but was coming back via domestic (which ended up being back to international). Parked at domestic and caught T Bus each way- there was a taped handwritten sign over the pricing section at the stops each end saying"free"

    Ayers Rock / Uluru - not open for Aussies??

    We did this last year- whilst the scenes and atmosphere was amazing - it would have to be the worst Australian game food I have ever had to the point it was inedible - might have been the chefs off night. Overall the experience out there is one everyone should do - but our whole visit was let...
