I'm in the process of booking my DONE4 at the moment and after the shock of getting my initial tax quote back at $1,947, I'm looking at ways to cut this a little. With the UK Premium departure tax at 80 quid for long hauls, I was thinking of ways to optimise it. I intend on visiting London...

The main benefits are: Brisbane will increase to 17 weekly services (up from 14) immediately and return to triple daily (21 services per week) from 2nd July. Looks like it'll be operated by the 772's (Regional config) Sydney increases to 24 services per week (up from 21) on 8 April and...

I was just looking for some suggestions. I have the option of flying AA or Alaskan from SFO to LAX in whY. Both are the same price and I will have flown AA a few times so I thought that Alaskan might be nice for a change. If it's Alaskan, it would be on an AA codeshare. Two of the cons I...

I'm just after everyone's advice on this one. I've booked some flights which are as follows: ORD-YVR (UA) YVR-YYZ (AC) YYZ-SCL (AC) SCL-EZE (LA) The first flight departs ORD at 9:45am. I'll be living in YUL at the end of the year so I was looking to position using AA4427 YUL-ORD which...

I was just trying to book some USA segments on my Oz credit card on ua.com and it keeps telling me I have an invalid credit card. I have entered two different AMEX cards. Is it the same as AA and only American Credit Cards are accepted?

Ok, I've just booked a QFF Award ticket from JFK-YUL and the taxes were a whopping $2.50USD. :p I was just wondering, has anyone else noticed taxes so low/been able to take advantage of them? It'll cost QF more in Amex fees than the taxes alone. :D Interestingly, taxes on the AA website on...

AUSTRALIA'S love affair with flying is expected to grow at unprecedented levels over the next two decades with aviation giant Airbus forecasting demand for at least 500 new aircraft - more than double the size of existing fleets. Airbus president and chief executive Tom Enders predicts the...

Prologue For those that haven’t already noticed, littl_flier has the FF and travel bug epidemic and it was time for the next overseas adventure. For various reasons, I’d been looking at visiting Montreal, but I was also keen to visit NYC and see the sights. I bit the bullet in May and booked a...

Hi Guys, A friend and I are heading off to NYC for the first time on Saturday for a holiday. I've had a look in the guidebooks but they're bursting with suggestions, so I was hoping you could all give me some tips on the things we should definitely see, and your experiences in the Big Apple...

QF have updated their booking engine on the qantas.com.au home page. There's no longer a Domestic and International tab and there is now multi-city options on the home page. The drop down box is now a list of all airports with airport codes. I think it might be a bit harder to use but it does...

I was just wondering, I'm travelling DRW-SYD-BNE early next Friday morning and being the red-eye, I was thinking of upgrading. When I go to Manage My Booking online, it gives me the option to upgrade, but I have to separately upgrade both sectors (totalling 15,000 points). Based on...

Well the time has come again and I've got Duty Free shopping on the brain. :p I was looking for suggestions on a good digital camera (with so many IT guys out there). Budget is about $500 and the smaller the better. I really like the idea of the waterproof and shockproof cameras but I'm...

I'm just planning a friends Honeymoon (well, the travel arrangements anyway) :oops: and they plan on travelling to HKT and BKK from BNE. I've had a look at Zuji and the fares are about $1162 on SQ and $1080 on JQ so I'm going to suggest they go full service. I did up a dummy itinerary and...

Just saw a 10 news story with the CEO of Tiger saying they will launch an airfare war tomorrow with fares from $15. He said the only way for prices "was down" and Australians are paying too much for their airfares. I'll have a dig around and see if I can find some articles or press releases.

I booked two seats in May using my QFF points to travel YUL-JFK on AA. Total +++ charges were USD$65. This still hasn't hit my CC yet, will they wait until we travel or have they forgotten about us? Also, does the charge appear as QF, or as AA directly? Thanks guys, littl_flier

I was looking on ITA at the fare rules for some whY QF flights to TSV and I noted the following. Does the unlimited transfers mean I could travel BNE-TSV via ASP and CNS for the base BNE-TSV fare plus the applicable taxes and fuel fines assuming I take the next available flight. :shock...

Hi Guys, I am travelling from BNE-SYD-JFK in November on 24 November and was wondering about the T3 to T1 transfer. Originally I was booked on QF513, arriving at 1045 for the 1200 departure on QF107. The TA thought 1:15 might be a little short for transfer so I was rebooked onto QF507 because...
