| The Disappearing Passenger Mystery |
We've all had flights delayed by passengers that have failed to board. Just last week, this caused an AFF member's flight from Los Angeles to Sydney to depart more than an hour late. This member subsequently missed their connecting flight to Perth and a family reunion.
This is certainly not the first time a passenger has failed to show up, and it won't be the last! Somehow, there always seems to be one or two passengers that go missing after checking in for the flight and cannot be located. These passengers' bags need to be removed from the flight for security reasons, inevitably resulting in delays. But where do no-show passengers actually go? |

Upcoming Webinar:
Supercharge Your Points at the Supermarket |
|
LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER
Think supermarket loyalty programs like Flybuys and Woolworths Rewards aren't worth it? Think again!
It's easier than you might expect to earn tens of thousands of points at the supermarket without spending a fortune on groceries! The trick is to take advantage of targeted bonus offers. But the number and quality of the offers you receive will depend on how well you game the system. Do it right and you could earn 50x more points at the checkout!!
At first glance, earning 1 Flybuys point for every $1 spent at Coles is not a great deal. But why spend $2,000 to earn 2,000 points, when you can spend just $200 and earn over 10,000 Flybuys points?
Our upcoming webinar will show you how to supercharge your at the supermarket. This webinar is at 8pm (AEST) tonight!

| Impressed with BA's Comair Service |
| British Airways doesn't have a stellar reputation these days. Continuous cost-cutting, reduced catering and poor service have turned British Airways Business class into a mediocre experience for the price paid. In fact, there have even been reports lately of British Airways potentially losing its 4-star Skytrax rating. Luckily, it's a very different story when flying with British Airways' South African franchise, Comair. more... |
