    What's your best tip for avoiding jet lag?

    I am pretty much the same and have little trouble if any. I can never sleep on a flight the same as at home, but some sleep is always possible. I time it according to the arrival of my flight at destination. If it's a long haul (like I recently went JNB-DOH-NRT) I work out the time it is in...

    If you could give just ONE piece of advice......

    I like that viewpoint. Thanks. While it's good to know all about the Frequent Flyer Statuses and this lounge and that perk, it's not really worth it if you forget that you are traveling and flying. I have always found that approach to resolving difficulties the best as well.

    If you could give just ONE piece of advice......

    Wow - that's a great differentiation. Thanks. I am definitely a Flyer. All of my earning is through flying and I am doing a good lot of it. Yeah - I try to stick with Qantas or One World. Particularly since I am mainly flying economy and those SC's are more hard earned than for those flying...

    Hi, I am not sure that I understand this distinction between Flyer and Buyer - would you mind elaborating a bit more?

    If you could give just ONE piece of advice......

    Thanks for that. Interesting. Will consider it. Someone else is paying, but we aren't doing a lot of expensive flying. In general Qantas (or OneWorld) has the best network through the destinations that I generally go. But will keep this in mind cos I agree it's easy to get stuck into just one...

    Thanks mate. I think maninlblack got up on the wrong side of the bed. I have definitely found AFF members extremely willing to help. And I have been studying.

    If you could give just ONE piece of advice......

    Hi guys, I am pretty new. And I am very definitely aware of the fact that I do not know what I do not know in regards to this whole area. There are probably many very important or very useful things that many of you take for granted that I haven't even thought of yet, and may not for some...

    I'm a new member too - nice to be aboard!

    Hey mate, I just joined recently and have already gotten two or three pieces of advice which really made things easier. I have found so far that the best policy is "don't be afraid to ask". There is apparently always someone or multiple someones here more than happy to help you out - and they...

    Advice needed on cancelled leg of flight...........

    Hi, I am currently abroad and just found out that my grandmother just had a stroke. She's Ok, well as well as you can be I guess, but I need to get back there to see her. Her and I have always been very close. Anyway, my current return flight is booked through to Sydney from HKG via Brisbane...

    Ahem...please allow me introduce myself.....

    Yeah - thanks. I figure I need some advice to maximize my earn and so forth. Plus I a sure the general experience of flying can be much improved with some basic tips - probably most FFs take for granted but to which I am clueless....

    Ahem...please allow me introduce myself.....

    Hi, I have just started flying a lot recently for work. To be honest, prior to this I never really thought about Frequent Flyer Programs. Now I am finding that it's something it really pays to know about! So, here I am. To give an idea - in the last 4 months I have flown...
