yes, absolutely and sometimes not at all I dont understand why it takes more than 1 second are they using access points that are acting as web servers to show the login page and they are totally overloaded with http requests for login? That might explain it if the cpu and ram on the access...

I have been in a number of go rounds normally for the same reason, plane hasnt vacated runway on 2 occasions into Sydney in the morning this was the same Asiana flight, just weeks apart if i recall. But the only scary flight was an a380. Coming from London via Singapore into Sydney, the...

thewinchester - great reply The thing about sharing cards cross region I think should still work all the different transport companies/authorities need access to is the amount of money still stored on the card, an agreement of what fields are altered to add value, and a way to take value out...

I take your point, but mine was a little different In those cities you can use the same card on trains, busses, cable cars, trams, ferries, taxis, convenience stores, the movies, the zoo etc. (yes I know not all of them do all of it) The closest we have to a card system at all is myki, which...

The state of ticketing in Australia for public transport is terribly embarassing I work in Sydney every week so know how it works, but ive been trapped a number of times without any change, no machine that takes credit cards, and the pay before you board bus thing is a debacle No Australian...

I see the OP responded now, I was wondering if maybe he was thrown out of the first lounge (some time after entry) like I was for no reason given what so ever other than 'entry is at our discression and we would like you to leave' which happened to me a year or so ago

As a contrast to other people who enjoy the high level of personalised service I prefer no service If I could get a code to get my room key and a piece of paper of out of a secure box and drop it off into a slot when I leave, that would be ideal. Best service for me is to hand over my...

On QF740 this morning, the pilot made special mention of the bears new location whilst taxiing

I went to shenzhen for a day trip last year got the visa on entry in the frontier zone, it was a great experience, they only take RMB and they have a money changer guy with a briefcase sitting at a card table there were a few Americans trying to get day visas who couldnt, they were angry and...

Re: Requested to give up your Meticulously Researched and selected Seat when on board I have been asked to move on a 737, Sydney to Adelaide twice recently. both times from 4 or 5a to at least row 20, I havent really been given a reason, one time it was 'would you mind' and the other time it...

An update from me (original poster) Qantas got back to me this morning, the same fellow who answered when I phoned originally. He informed me that they were still trying to get to the bottom of the situation, and that the Sydney based customer care people had been in contact with the London...

After not sleeping at all in either direction on 3 previous return flights to london, including business class and first class lay flat sold as business, I decided to seek medical assistance. I am not a nervous flyer at all, more like an excited flyer, happy to be going somewhere and love being...

At huge risk of going against the grain of this forum, I am going with not worth it. I have flown australia to uk 4 times in the last year for work, who offer to pay business class and I decline it every time. The price difference seems unreasonable to me, I would be prepared to stand up for...

Ive done the 380 twice and the 747 twice in the last year or so the 380 is better if you have no guarantee of a good seat, and it has some great seats of its own as mentioned elsewhere here but if you can get 40G on a 747, its a fantastic seat Ive had 40G there and back recently and slept...
