    The Dark side of Japan Tourism.

    Sorry to read this story. I’m shocked, but when you read up on the judicial system in Japan it is pretty primitive. (Look at custody battles between locals and westerners) Others have presented percentages on convictions and they’re right as well as the Japanese superior view of themselves...

    Virgin involuntary downgrade scam

    I haven't had a good Virgin call centre experience since about 2011. Terrible service for sure. Good luck with getting your money back.

    Middle Eastern airspace rumours

    My sauce. An insider briefing which while not 'Top Secret' wasn't public. Let's see what happens, many moving parts.

    Middle Eastern airspace rumours

    With Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and points mid east becoming high risk. Potential for airspace over Saudi to close as early as tonight, with some airlines including QF looking at Japan and over the Artic routes. Afghanistan has no air traffic control so not great to fly over at the best of times...

    Not Aiming for Lifetime Gold

    For someone who dislikes Qantas, why put it in your name? I enjoy QF and they are the home team for me flying everywhere I travel so would be silly not to use them. I appreciate not everyone likes them and that’s good for aviation and lounge seating capacity when I want to enjoy a Chivas at...

    Rex in voluntary administration, ending all 737 services

    Thanks but no thanks. Every time I read a creditors report on REX they owe more money that the previous report. Now up to $500M. Almost wonder how such a small airline could dig a hole that deep.

    Double Tree Cairns - Chopper Crashed into Roof

    Reported they relocated 400 guests today, probably easy to do on an August Monday but a bit harder on the weekend.

    Qantas First class SYD-LAX

    My experience directly from flying first is yes you can eat when you want. There was always a crew member in the first galley ready to get you a meal during the flight. And I know because I got up and checked and had a 'midnight' snack.

    We’re launching a Qantas Status Run service + free giveaway

    It could be a good service, but it’s designed to make money for the web site owner of the day. Let’s wait and see. Personally I don’t find it that hard to work out a few flights and SC results. This could work for private owners of the site as people are lazy, let’s face it.

    Alan Joyce to leave Qantas immediately

    What ever you think of AJ, he didn’t do it without Board support. Time for some more resignations.

    Checking in to a hotel at a self-service kiosk?

    Stayed in Darling Harbour at the Aiden which I think is an upmarket best western. They had a kiosk check it was rubbish and didn’t work. A staff member came over to assist and it didn’t work for her either so I told her it was rubbish and would stay elsewhere next time. If I have a choice will...

    Qantas Increases Legroom Charges; Changes to Row 4 selection on most 737 flights

    A bit like everyone complained about Mr Dixon, until Mr Joyce, now is the grass greener, so far no change for me anyway.

    Rex in voluntary administration, ending all 737 services

    Why use 10 words when you can use 100. We all know a person like that.

    Rex in voluntary administration, ending all 737 services

    Have to say, having been to lounges in the third world, the QF J lounge is excellent. Back to REX failing.

    I don't think you can spend your points.

    Is Budget Rental Car always this hopeless at MEL?

    Avis Adelaide airport is my problem one. I don’t think any are better or worse just different ‘bad’ service.

    Rex in voluntary administration, ending all 737 services

    I'm thinking you're not the customer type REX was looking for.

    Even more reason to keep it at the gate and billed for it. 😄

    Driving in South Africa 2024 - or a driver??

    Hiring a car works depending on how well you know the place and what your prepared to do with a car, last time I was there (just pre covid) was in an attempted car jacking driving from the airport.
