For or a previous trip from LAX-SAN I found it cheaper (for two pax) and a lot more convenient to book a Town Car from LAX which dropped us off at our hotel. In the end I think it saved us a couple of hours waiting at LAX. The cost was around USD170 plus tip.

Ok, I'll bite. Cyprus is an interesting destination with a lot of history, I spent an extended period there but didn't explore nearly enough. If you do venture that way, Nicosia is the only divided city in the world (after Berlin reunited) with interesting facets to both halves. An absolutely...

I'll give a little update for my Aruba experience so far...absolutely loving it. Arrival at 2120 at night on AA2217 was the easiest Immigration and Customs I've ever had, from Immigration through Customs I was on the street in less than 5 minutes, with checked baggage, thank you AA priority...

I always have the best weather on my travels, the largest snowfall on record for October in 2011 in New York which caused utter chaos, then flew to Miami for hurricanes and flooding.

if you are not familiar with POM or PNG, going on foot is not recommended.

I had a quick search and couldn't find anything recent for Aruba. It's not the best SC run but I'm travelling LAX to Aruba in February ($1270 USD for 540 SC) and am exploring hotels etc. currently the booking is for the Holiday Inn for an all inclusive package, which after some consideration...

We stayed earlier this year at the Holiday Inn resort in Montego Bay and enjoyed it although we didn't wander far from the resort. For us it was a pleasant beach stop for a couple of days in an all inclusive resort. There were a few day trips available which looked OK.

One thing to be cautious of is fees the hotel may charge. You may or may not be able to find out on the hotel website, but an email is better. Marriott LAX had a charge of $5 per package per day held when I stayed there in 2011. Fortunately I had emailed Marriott prior to having deliveries made...

Re: Research & book AA "Non-refundable "/"Instant Upgrade"/"YUPP" fare to maximise SC Although it has been previously posted PTY is still offering good value, I just priced LAX-DFW-MIA-PTY-MIA-ORD-LAS for $708USD and 510 SC in Feb 2016.

Got the offer, and I'm looking at the SYD - LAX $1151 return special which includes 1 - 28 Feb. The cheapest flights coming up on these dates is $1300 return which I'm happy with, but where oh where are the $1150 return flights in these dates?

My brother is in an extremely similar situation although it is his first name was changed slightly and no longer matches his birth certificate. The quickest resolution I could find after some research was to change his name via deed poll in the UK.

Nothing of substance to the article, but then again it is the Daily Telegraph: Man in custody after Cairns Airport scare

Munda Airport is currently in the process of being designated as an alternate airport, this may end up with international flights occurring from Australia, a big boost to Solomon Islands tourism if it eventuates.

Adding to the "what airport is this?" Nusatupe Island serving Gizo in the Solomon Islands, this has always fascinated me.

I'm disappointed to say my ex-wife was unable to take my 13 year old daughter in to the Sydney International Business Lounge using a complimentary pass I gave her. She was advised two passes were required. This was for QF17 SYD-LAX on 9 June Red Roo if you are curious.

In SF for breakfast I highly recommend the Hollywood Cafe. Unfortunately it is very popular but if you are only looking for a table for two it's not so bad a wait. I've eaten there a few times and thoroughly enjoyed a hearty and cheapish breakfast/brunch. Hollywood Cafe, San Francisco -...

Oops, LAX - SYD

Just cancelled two J reward seats for 29 March 2016 LAX - SYD which should return to inventory if anyone is looking. I should have have posted advance info.... My apologies. Edit: Not with it tonight

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options I've been looking at some USA runs and finally booked LAX-DFW-MIA-PTY-MIA-ORD-LAS for $877USD and 510 SC for dates in March spread over a week (planning some relaxation time with the trip so didn't look for quick turnaround).

I purchased a $1000 voucher in the 2013 promotion and used it last week to purchase travel in Jan 2015 requiring an additional $2300. Unfortunately due to a change in work schedule (completely unexpected and unfortunately I will need to work to the new schedule) I may not be able to travel as...
