Have you ever felt like you could be doing something more useful in flight? My friend Spike Mason spent a couple of years living in Launceston and working in Sydney. Last year he decided to compose an album 100% in flight. As soon as the seatbelt sign went off, he'd get out his laptop and...

Since the Air Berlin bankruptcy, Virgin is now a partner of Alitalia. That's very convenient since i'm going to Italy in a couple of weeks.... but the details aren't clear. Does anybody know how status benefits (especially baggage, lounge access, and point/status earn) actually work? Virgin's...

So here I am in Spain, due to fly home to Sydney mid this week. Air Berlin tickets on AB/Etihad codeshares, booked through Aunt Betty (Flight Centre). The flights to Abu Dhabi are all cancelled, but the Etihad AUD-SYD leg still shows the AB codeshare. I'm pretty sure we'll just have to buy...

This is kind of a reverse freebie... Thanks to these forums, i've discovered the Aelia duty free club. And i noticed that the signup page has a field for "referral email" I don't know what that referral is worth, but if anyone wants to be my referrererer, PM me your email address and i'll...

I'd like some advice, FFfriends... I'm a Velocity SG, and i'm happy with that domestically (we work with musicians, and they are very generous to musicians). But i'll be flying to Spain in November, and it's cheaper and quicker to fly QF (or partners) to London than the long way round through...
