    Zeppelin flights

    Hi There I have been on board. I recall it wasn't cheap and I was on a 20-minute flight which went over the small city that I forget the name off.

    That is true. Well in 6 months it's gone altogether now... Anyone want to take a wager with me? $50 says VA take over PER to AUH And buy EY a330s and reconfigure them!

    Etihad overbooked economy, volunteer bumped experiences

    There is slightly more room on the seats. I take my own device to watch things on. But no fancy cabin humidity. Still A330 is a good plane

    Etihad overbooked economy, volunteer bumped experiences

    Hi All Thanks for your replies, so my experience went as follows: The flight ended up being perfect loading for them except for the residence. Y, J, F all full on an A380. They didn't need to bump anyone, they marked me (as I volunteered at check in) as willing to be bumped. Thus allowing me to...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Thanks for the tips, I will look into those cards. I tried payments under $10k each time but did go over $30k in a statement period. As soon as it went over $30k it auto cut off. My card had a limit of $15k however i was topping it up each time so I didn't go over negative $15k
