    Port Moresby - Singapore via Brisbane in Y

    Unfortunately I had to book this trip via an agent over 5 months ago, however I (thanks to AFF) did all the legwork then asked them to ticket. The trip to SIN was with Mrs HFK, Miss 10, Mstr 8, and Miss 3. They then transferred onto AKL where they are completing a BNE-AKL-BNE-POM trip, whereas...

    Great experience with the call centre

    Just wanted to share the great experience I have just had with the normal velocity call centre. Back in May my wife and 2 paying kids (+ under2) flew APNG > POM CNS return. It was a bit of a disaster trip, due to the travel agent not actually ticketing the booking, but we managed to get them...
