    New domestic routes

    QF are only operating a timetable to suit business customers at present. Early morning departure from BNK and about a 17:10 departure from SYD. Most of the people that fly into BNK on JQ to go to Byron are the younger less cashed up tourists. They also do not do due diligence on their...

    New domestic routes

    The only dogs I have seen at Ballina Airport are companion animals for visually impaired people. I have been flying to/from BNK since the airport opened in 1987

    How to make enemies...! [by weighing carry-on]

    I think that you will find that laptops are included in the 7 kg limit. I have had no problems flying JQ with a carry on bage and one laptop. I am usually 1 -2 kg under the 7kg limit. Careful packing and weighing BEFORE going to the airport helps!

    What is wrong with people? [Why does getting on a plane make some people so dumb?]

    I was travelling at about 40 km/h exiting a roundabout. This idiot walked straight from the kerb right into my path. If I had been a red P Plater driving at 55 k/mh + I would have killed him. As it was, I was able to brake. I'm glad I didn't damage my car. Reminds me of the time a taxi driver in...

    No. He is still alive and probably resents losing face!

    What is wrong with people? [Why does getting on a plane make some people so dumb?]

    The guy is lucky to be alive and I am lucky not to have killed someone. He is lucky that I was overtly rude to him and was able to realise that!!!

    What is wrong with people? [Why does getting on a plane make some people so dumb?]

    Yesterday I was centimetres away from hitting a guy (pedestrian) with his face in his phone. He looked very indignant when I tooted the horn and gave him the finger!

    QF No Longer Printing FF Number on Boarding Passes

    If QF also delete names from BPs then privacy will be guaranteed - but then security will be compromised absolutely!

    What's your company travel policy?

    I would not call my business a company, because I am the owner and only employee. As a way to write off business income, I attend an annual conference in the LOTFAP. I fly business and apply for an upgrade to F which has happened on several occasions. My business policy is 5* accommodation which...

    How to make enemies...! [by weighing carry-on]

    Going to the airport and flying overseas, one should bear in mind that one is in an airconditioned environment, so that one can wear all the warm clothes such as jeans and a jacket, a good shirt, the heaviest shoes that are being taken on the trip. We only travel business or better. Before we...

    How to make enemies...! [by weighing carry-on]

    We like the convenience of not needing to check in luggage and being able to walk straight off the aircraft without having to collect luggage. We are very particular with personal habits and do not smell. We are very clever about packing.

    Which is your preferred airline across the Tasman? [of QF, NZ or VA]

    My airline of choice to NZ is JQ. Living in Ballina it is only a short drive to OOL where we have relatives who can look after our vehicle. There are flights from OOL to AKL for about $A470 pp return. There are also direct flights from OOL to ZQN and WLG is accessible via AKL. There is a nice...

    First class upgrade on QF1

    Is it worth the 75K points? Hell yeah! Chances of success? The earlier you go the better your chance. A lot depends on your status. Seeing that the flight is at the busy time of the year, it may not be successful, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

    Roomba, Dysons, Thermomix and other household appliances

    My parents' first electric fridge was a Hallstrom that they bought in 1951. In 1979 mum thought she had better update so although the Hallstrom was still going strong, in 1979 she traded it on an Electrolux. Nice looking fridge. Unfortunately mum passed away next year, so I took the fridge. The...
