On a recent trip OS, I lost my wallet. Was genuinely surprised that the wallet was not found and returned to me. In the modern world there does not seem much financial gain in keeping a found wallet. Anyway, I flew to Bangkok the next day and the new credit cards were waiting for me at my...

Hi there, I've been noticing a number of cheap cheap code share flights to Europe and wanted to know if anyone knew of instances where these flights were not honoured. For example..... I'm looking at a oneway J class fare on Etihad or Virgin from Sydney to Athens. The Etihad and Virgin...

On the second last day of the QF/SA codesahare arrangement, I flew MEL-SYD-JNB on QF 64. It was on an ageing and typically loud 747 but it is one of the truly great longhaul flights; all completed in daylight hours. There is even time to connect to other African countries and get all the travel...

Hi there, I'm hoping to receive some suggestions from members which may use dual voltage hair straighteners. I know there are brands like GHD etc (which seem to be the brand favored by my straw poll of 3 stewardesses) but can anyone tell me why certain brands are better than others when...

.....anyone know why? Did Qantas sell it to Ethiopian Airlines?

That statement might need to be reconsidered. Emirates Executive. Nice video. Emirates Executive ? Airbus A319 Private Jet Charter Service Hope I can redeem a flight on this.

China Airlines (which is actually not a China airline, but the Taiwan airline) has a 5th freedom BKK-AMS flight. Looking at a few random dates in May, you can fly BKK-AMS return in J for 79740 Thai Baht (= AUD$2600) or one-way BKK-AMS in J for 41415 Thai Baht = AUD$1345 Departs BKK at 1.50am...

Nice one, Little red. Hopefully a few flights across the channel in the future. BBC News - Virgin Atlantic's Little Red begins with Manchester flight

Hi guys, Can anyone help with this one. I'me flying London - Dubai - Melbourne with a 50kg baggage allowance. I have a 7 hour stop in Dubai. I have left a suitcase in Dubai from my stopover on my outbound journey. My question is: Can I book in my luggage in London all the way through to...

Hi guys, Just a quick question. If I fly from the US to SIN in economy on EK or EY, do I receive the same baggage allowance of 2 x 23kg for the second leg if I take a stopover in DXB or AUH (and it is all on the one ticket)

Hi guys, Many members uses websites like Matrix - ITA Software to help plan trips and see all their flight options. However, itasoftware does not include many of the LCCs in their search results. (Now, I know many members would view this as a good thing!, but I'd like those results...

I'm looking to book a flight to Sri Lanka and CX has a great CMB arrival time (before midnight) when compared to UL, EK, SQ etc. So, I'm looking to book the CX flight from SIN-CMB one-way since I'll then be heading elsewhere after CMB. Anyway, on the CX website, the one-way flight is priced at...

Emirates shows it hand with coughet flights | Plane Talking .......soon they'll be flying to Essendon.

Hi guys, I'm looking to book a couple of Air Pacific Biz Saver fares on Air Pacific. The fare basis of these fares is ZBULABFJ - so effectively "Z" class (I think). Route is NAN-MEL. On the Qantas airline earning table, there is no Z class listed for Air Pacific; only C, D, I and J. Does...

Today I noticed that the link to the Classic version of Matrix - ITA Software redirects you to the updated version Matrix - ITA Software. For whatever reason, I always preferred the classic layout and functionality and considered it to be the best on-line travel tool. Does anyone know if the...

Is there any chance RED Q was just an announcement to distract attention from job cuts? Does anyone believe that a 49% Qantas owned airline based in KUL/SIN/HKG (and offering "premium service") can compete against the established home players? I guess it's possible, but there is something NQR...

If one does not already exist, could we start a thread which displays new routes to/from Australia? I know many airlines announce a new route but they do not eventuate, so maybe only list them if they have started selling tickets. Information like: PER-Guangzhou (CAN) China Southern commencing...

One of the many, very sad examples of current management strategies is how Qantas is only trying to increase profit by reducing cost. There appears no willingness or strategy in place at all to increase QFis revenues; there is only a plan to decrease cost. Could anyone recommend a revenue...

I roll with a Citi Business Gold Card and an Amex MR card. The Citibank card allows me to transfer my points at a time of my choosing to any of Krisflyer, QantasFF or Velocity. The Amex allows a Krisflyer or Velocity transfer. I prefer this approach rather than the "Direct Sweep" approach. When...
