    Domestic airline punctuality 2015

    I understand the -15 mins. I was just trying to promote a more positive "spin" after looking at the threads about late/cacelled flights. When you think about the variables and the logistics I still think most of the airlines are doing a good job. They have to contend with weather, passengers who...

    Another one bites the dust.

    . Thanks Qantas but I do feel that I have now got a fair bit of freedom. I completely understand. I am old enough to remember when frequent flyer programs were a reward for loyalty and points flights could earn status . I think about the joy I felt when finding out about milage plus ( when...

    What Do We Expect

    I was trying to point out that in real terms airfares have Gone down considerably. A 747 flight to USA from Aus in 1990 was around $2300 - or the equivilant of 5 times the average weekly wage. Today $1500 or the equivilant of one weeks wages. Sure, the service (or the perception) may have gone...

    What Do We Expect

    As I read the various comments posted on this site I wonder if we are expecting too much from airline travel. Compared to 30 or 40 years ago airline travel has gone ahead in leaps and bounds. Firstly look at the prices. An airfare today is not to much different to what it was in the 80's. Adjust...
