    QFlink NSW changes including a lounge for Tamworth

    Wish QF would introduce a QantasLink flight once a day between MEL-DBO-BNE and back and keep flights out of SYD the same. Every time I fly to DBO (6 times a year) I see about 5 or 6 people on the same MEL-SYD flight then over to DBO. Even if it was 2 or 3 times a week, I would move days just to...

    [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26] was 10April

    Re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April What QF are doing here is they are trying to confuse the public that Points Plus Pay is the same thing as ASA. (Or probably trying to change the definition they had on ASA program, into Points plus Pay...

    Upcoming Hertz rental in the U.S

    I've just come back from US and rented with Hertz. Went through the same issues trying to work out what, where I was covered, then simply gave up and took all insurance when I booked the car. In the end, I took the extra $70 as a bonus not spending another second of time trying to work it out...

    50% off Prestige, Fun and Green collections

    No idea. Found the CDP, have an Amex Plat, that's good enough for me. :) Good point, forgot about that. Might be worth paying the 1cover as well, to have 2 policies..... (Just to be safe) It looks like with Hertz, the SVA applies to every car anyway, so no difference renting economy or this...

    Book Now Pay later, then convert to Any Seat award

    Hi Guys Looking at going from MEL to SIN, availability on the day is terrible, but today a Y1 popped up (on KVS). Now, this Y1 is actually a Q fare, so its pretty cheap. But I'm, not ready to book. I was thinking to do a "Hold This Seat" online for $25, which gives me another week to...

    MEL Long Term Car Park

    From my past experience, (1 missed flight and a Tiger flight with 2 minute left) dont under any circumstances be tempted to park in A,B,C if its busy and in the morning. All the buses are full and wont stop. Especially if u are travelling with your wife. Mine kept pressing the emergency button...

    Hertz DoD CDP Code- Should I do it?

    Hi Guys Thanks for the replies. Would be great if Hertz had a CDP number for clients who take full responsibilty for the vehicle without being attached to an organization. Thinking a 2 week comp insurance would get around the problem, for about $25. Anyway, come up with a better (And safer...

    Hertz DoD CDP Code- Should I do it?

    Quick question for the masses. Will be in Sydney from 23th Dec until 2 Jan and need to hire a car with Hertz. So I do my usual QFF CDP code to get a 3% discount, (Ends up at $835.00) then my usual flick around the net to see if I can find something better. Well this time I found a great CDP...

    Yeh, that’s what I think it must have been. Maintenance at Avalon, going up to CNS for pickup to GUM. Was hoping somebody else saw it, as well.... Just checking my sanity... LOL Rob

    CO in MEL, Am I delusional?

    Ahhhhhh, Think you might have solved the mystery.... Well kind of. Didnt have any writing on the side (Atlas Air), but that tail looks very similar to CO... The website says they only have 747/200-400... Which it wasnt... Hmmm......

    CO in MEL, Am I delusional?

    Howdy It wasn’t a 747, it was a 2 engine plane. Actually it didn’t look big enough to be a 777 either . Must have been a 767 or even 737...... Definitely wasn’t a United Plane, unless they used a CO plane to SYD today as the timing seams perfect. (If it was departing) Wish I took a...

    CO in MEL, Am I delusional?

    Howdy I dont know if it was the paint fumes from the house I've been renovating, but at about 1.00pm I saw a Continental Airways plane in the sky in MEL. Can this be true? I've seen heaps of them while living in US, so I know what they look like, but am confused what 1 is doing down here. Rob
