    Your favourite photos taken of/from a plane?

    Have got so many holiday snaps and it was hard to cull them. As they are only thumbnails, click on them for a larger (and better) photo. Anyway, here goes: Lisa Marie (Elvis Presley's plane) at Memphis Leaving New Orleans and the railway line and highway over the bayous Leaving Brisbane and...

    Just wondering if you are able to take advantage of this offer if you don't have an ABN (and are not a Qantas Business Rewards member). On reading the small print, it appears not - is this correct?

    Travel Insurance - who is the best?

    My thanks to everyone who posted a response - I have been taking your advice on board and following up your suggestions. To clarify a couple of points, we are looking at single-trip insurance rather than annual as we're not frequent or corporate/business travellers - purely a "pleasure" trip...

    Travel Insurance - who is the best?

    Looking for the best "value for money" travel insurance (for single trip). Hubby & I will be away for 2 months and are flying RTW using points, so our credit card "automatic travel insurance offers" will probably not cover us (after reading advice on other posts). We will need Worldwide...

    Air Pacific?

    We're thinking of flying from Honolulu to Nadi with Air Pacific and was wondering if anyone who has flown with Air Pacific, has any comments about the airline. (We'd like a stopover [other than NZ] between Hawaii and Australia and to avoid Jetstar). Appreciate your comments.

    Anyone flown with Air Tahiti Nui?

    Seeking feedback on the airline Air Tahiti Nui. I know that they were voted the best airline in the Pacific a couple of years back - but would like to hear anyone's "first hand" experience. As Hubby hasn't heard of this airline before, he's not keen on flying with an "unknown" - he prefers...

    Jetstar Starclass

    Looking at using Qantas F/Flyer points (BNE-HNL) Business Class but the only flights are with Jetstar. Not having flown Jetstar before, I was wondering if anyone can pass on some feedback about their International flights. Is it worth flying Business on Jetstar? What extras do you have to pay...

    Suggested stopover between Singapore and Rome? Which FF program?

    Hi there! Re your questions .. Importance: Low. Have only been advised "to avoid" flying more than 4 hours, not that I am "not allowed". Reason: Medical. If it takes 7.5 hours to fly direct BNE to SIN, then I guess I have no choice. I was thinking of maybe New Delhi or Dubai as stopovers...

    Suggested stopover between Singapore and Rome? Which FF program?

    Hi all! Next year hubby & I are looking at flying to Europe using his FF points (currently have 460K dispersed between Westpac 'Altitude', Qantas, Amex & Diners which I believe can be transferred to either OneWorld or Star Alliance. We are in the QF & AirNZ FF programs. We lost over 300K...

    BPAY won't earn points

    I don't normally read the fineprint but I wonder how many other people know of the new Exclusion for the Altitude Program regarding BPAY Payments .. "From 1 October 2004, all payments made through the BPAY Electronic Payments Scheme won't earn Altitude points". Seems the windows of...
