    This is just bonkers!

    I need to fly MEL-BNE-SIN-MEL soon. Went on to qantas.com.au to get tickets. About $4,500 in business class if I fly EK metal with QF flight numbers for the two international sectors or over $7,000 to fly on Qantas metal. D'oh as Homer says! QF really are bonkers! Btw, I need two tickets so...

    New thread/sticky idea

    Hi members and administrators. As an increasing number of threads in the Qantas forum area seem to involve members asking Red Roo questions or for help or involve Red Roo chiming in to comment or to promote Qantas products and services I think it would be useful if Red Roo had their own...

    Etihad wipes Israel off the map!

    Also according to the story they won't carry Israeli passport holders. Wonder if that's in breach of Australian discrimination laws? Hmm I think so. Etihad wipes out Israel on inflight map | Mail Online

    Keeping an account active?

    Didn't want to start a new thread for this but figured there would be huge knowledge here so I will pop in the question. I have a few Hiltons I generally stay at quite regularly but not this year. Looking at the T&C's and the well known Clause 13 eligible activity clause, is a transfer of points...

    Qantas Status match play

    Seeing reports on here about people getting random upgrades to Gold status. It got me thinking. What would happen if QFF pulled a similar swifty to VA and did a well marketed status match? I actually think they would decimate the VA premium market very quickly. Would it de-value the brand. I...

    QF to LHR via HKG now impossible

    Wow. I didn't quite understand all the ramifications of this Emirates stich up! You can no longer fly to LHR via HKG on a QF ticket at all. Not with BA or CX out of HKG and in fact not even with EK via Dubai and on to LHR. Now that is a bizarre situation. Game over. Au revoir QF bigtime for me...

He was suggesting to me that know that Dubai will be the QF hub into Europe his days of flying QF are essentially over. Israeli passport holders are not permitted entry to the UAE and...

    Virgin and Velocity websites - enough is enough

    It is August 2012. Enough is enough is enough. Fix it Virgin. What a ridiculous mess. Virgin talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk or as Lincoln said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the...

    See. Swapping G’Day for Aloha: Hawaiian Airlines to fly to Brisbane - Airline News - etravelblackboard.com Still no MEL-HNL :( MEL must be the cough-end of the world as far as international airlines are concerned, for an affluent city of 4 million our services are pitiful.
