Just a heads up, just received word that Qantas is launching a 'MASSIVE' (their word not mine) domestic and international sale at midnight tonight (sale valid 12-17 May 2012). I don't have any further info than that. Happy Travels! TG

Although I know alot about travel and airfares after almost a decade in the industry, I'm always willing to humble myself and turn it over to someone with more knowledge on a subject and this is one of them. I've got a client who is SG, wants to book 2x economy tickets for his kids (who I...

Does anyone know what the internal config is on the 744 operating BNE-LAX currently? I know they were operating a 4 class 744 as a 3 class service with soft upgrades for status FF'ers, is that still the case? Looking to book to fly to LA in Y+ but trying to decide whether to fly BNE-LAX on the...

Just had an interesting email letting me know Malaysia Airlines are adding in a new YR tax which is an administration fee. When queried as to what it was administering, a colleague was told 'it's a cost of doing business tax/surcharge'. So I guess the airlines now think that it's okay not only...

I've noticed the last couple of flights I've taken that VA have started having a crew member stand between PE or J and Economy during deboarding much in the same way it happens on most international flights. While I don't mind it on Intl flight whether I'm flying J or Y, sitting in Row 3C as I...

Thankfully I switched all my flying to Virgin Australia a couple of months back (and loving it!), but flying back from Sydney today after spending the weekend with my Dad, I simply had to share his experience with QF's "Customer Service"....I knew some of you would relate. Conversation with QF...

I thought since the lounge only opened on Monday (23 May) I'd write a short trip report on that and some thoughts on my flight on a separate thread to the VA New Lounge thread. I have to say I'm really impressed with this lounge, while the food really isn't all that more enticing than the...

Not sure if anyone caught this story online at Fairfax Travel about Travel Agents, but interesting to see what a more well rounded article on TA's looks like instead of the dribble a certain News Ltd. "journalist" recently published. It's interesting reading through some of the comments, it...
