I stayed at the Le Meridien a few years back in Limassol and found it to be excellent - I paid for the stay with my hotel points so I can't really opine on the value proposition. It has two pool areas which are excellent for relaxing and great facilities and it's in a great position, although a...

I flew Allegiant Air last year Santa Maria (SMX) to Las Vegas, the tickets started cheap, however like many LCC's, if want to pick a seat (especially if you are a familiy travelling wanting to sit together) , check luggage the additional charges soon stack up. I remember the US$19 wound up at...

Returned from my Jetstar Honolulu trip on Qantas Classic redemption award tix, we had two checked pieces each under, or right on 23kgs, no questions asked at either end.

The Qantas rep logged into my frequent flyer account and viewed the booking and immediately confirmed that I can check 2x23kg as I am ticketed as a Qantas pax- however Dave's advice to get a confirming email is solid - I can already visualise a grim faced person in an orange dress grabbing the...

Just spoke to the friendly staff at Qantas - I am allowed 2 X 23 kgs each pax and 7kg carry on :)

Be careful tying ribbons / hankies etc. to the handles on your checked luggage. I tied a ribbon the handle on my nondescript black samsonite bag to stop the carousel lottery. After tying the ribbon on my luggage it was 'mishandled' (aka lost) twice. The agent at Qantas baggage services when...

We spent 10 nights at the Intercontinental Thalasso Spa in 2006 for our honeymoon, we stayed in an overwater bungalow, and I fully agree with StevePER's remarks about the Thalasso and Bora Bora. It is pricey, however there are few things to do to mitigate the cost; This one is important -...

Agree that QANTAS are not at fault here, I only booked my 11 year daughter on a Qantas domestic flight yesterday, you HAVE to book on the phone (or in a Qantas travel office). If you try and book a child online (under 12 years) without an adult travelling, the website will not allow you to...

All went well, received a call this morning from the Mrs at the airport, only one person in the queue on arrival, very pleasant check-in agent, and changed the allocated mid-plane aisle seat to the first row aisle seat in celebration of 'International Womens Day'.:lol:
