    Just received an email - Airportr is now usable with Qantas

    Would be very useful in Paris. The metro is even worse than the tube. Almost no minor stations have escalators, let alone lifts!

    How do toll roads in France 'work'?

    It's not comprehensive though. In answer to some of your remaining questions, the payment methods are far from uniform. On some tollways you simply pay a standard fee at defined points. On others you take a ticket when you enter the tollway and then stop again to pay when you exit. Obviously in...

    If you had a day to spend with AJ to fix QF what would you say ?

    No one expects to meet with Aj let alone get him to listen. The idea is just a device to get people to identify their main gripe(s) with QF.

    LATAM adding PE to regional flights

    I only just saw this when doing a search for another LATAM thread. LATAM already has a PE product on some regional flights - I flew PE GRU-EZE on 2 January. Had a big fight to stay in PE after an aircraft downgrade, but they eventually switched me to a flight 1 hour later. The hard product is...

    Car Rental - Brokers or Direct?

    Geneva has a few territorial complexities. Perhaps someone used google translate to translate "France métropolitain" or "métropol" for short as "mainland France". But it is a very different concept. More administrative than geographical. Glad @Jacques Vert has sorted you out.

    Will the 737MAX be our de Havilland Comet?

    It is also a lesson about mergers and acquisitions. If you have an opportunity to take over a struggling competitor , make sure you don't inherit the very things which caused it to struggle.

    Car Rental - Brokers or Direct?

    Interesting, I have booked Avis cars through Qantas with pick-ups in Paris, Lyon and Nice. They are, as you say, major cities but so is Strasbourg. Although it may not have as much tourist traffic. Is the one way hire still very expensive?

    Delta buys 20% of LATAM, which will exit oneworld

    I am fairly sure SC earn on a non-OW airline is prohibited by the alliance rules. So yes, they do seem to want to keep everything except any deals with AA. Of course the other thing we will lose is the ability to book LA flights as part of a OW RTW ticket, even if they have a QF flight number.

    Assistance MEL JNB

    You could fly with VA and SA via PER for $4,334.28 on those dates. The price for the same flights on VA flight numbers is higher, at least $6055.62 direct with VA.

    Intentionally triggering a targeted 50% bonus SC promo

    Intentionally since a search for flights to ADL triggered one in January 2018. Since then I have honed my technique. :cool:

    Intentionally triggering a targeted 50% bonus SC promo

    I've had several. Most recent: 14/01/2019, 27/05/2019, 30/09/2019 & 30/01/2020. My membership year ends 30/09. So three of those were in the 2018/19 membership year.

    Intentionally triggering a targeted 50% bonus SC promo

    And yet I have had offers from searches for PER-NOU and PER-SCL. I don't think the routes are the only or main determinant. I think user behaviour is important. I don't just search. I make bookings. I fill in PAX details. I select seats. I decline travel insurance and accept carbon offsets. I...

    If you had a day to spend with AJ to fix QF what would you say ?

    Jetstar is a real asset, it means QF isn't chasing that market and becoming a hybrid legacy/LCC like so many others.

    If you had a day to spend with AJ to fix QF what would you say ?

    Avoiding just repeating points made by others: (1) Put 1st on all long haul aircraft; (2) Get rid of the drink trolleys and the trays for major meals in premium cabins and adopt more personalised service; (3) Introduce domestic premium economy (and stop pretending the existing front seats on...

    Coronavirus (COVID-19) Respiratory illness - Effect on Travel

    They still fly to Beijing but it was scheduled to end in March anyway. Qantas has signalled that they may bring that date forward.

    Coronavirus (COVID-19) Respiratory illness - Effect on Travel

    So if you were asked to crew the evacuation flight, would you? Asking for a friend ... No, really.

    Coronavirus (COVID-19) Respiratory illness - Effect on Travel

    This is all true and I would be desparate to leave. However I would be very reluctant to put myself into a detention centre under Peter Dutton's control. I would have no confidence about the level of medical care, the way I would be treated, or when I would be released. It really is a catch 22.

    Coronavirus (COVID-19) Respiratory illness - Effect on Travel

    Apparently the government is chartering a QF 747 for the evacuation flight. A 747 can't land on Christmas Island so presumably it will land on the mainland (PER?) and PAX will be transferred to smaller aircraft to fly to XCH. This would also provide an opportunity to redirect NZ citizens. I...
