Good luck! This is a terrible time to pass his on ... but the last time I did a similar itinerary, the QF flight from SYD-SCL never got away from SYD so we were all shipped off to the Crowne Plaza in downtown SCL for 24 hours. Hope you really DO get to Ho-Ho-Ho all the way without an...

We are flying QF 1 (SYD-LHR) on Christmas Day: good availability, good price, good alibi for an excessively-extended Family Christmas! I hope it's better than my only previous Christmas Day flight (Air Pacific SYD-NAN rescheduled from Boxing Day): someone in Air Pathetic forgot to tell catering...

I have twice crossed the International Dateline (coming west from N America) on my wedding anniversary, so I reckon my wife has been married to me for two years longer than I have been married to her. She says it certainly feels like that!

10 weeks later, I'm still waiting for AVIS to send the promised documentation. The cost of their rip-off and poor service response is that they have lost a customer who had done most of their car-rental business with AVIS for >25 years. I no longer Prefer AVIS.

TSV-BNE (QF). Snappily-dressed gent boards just in front of me and puts his carry-on in the half-full locker above my row (6) and then saunters off to his seat in Row 20-something. I touched it and I moved it far enough to be able to put my bag in; I also helped the lady in Row 5 whose bag he'd...

2-3 cases per week? You've given me a new target.

Rumours about Alitalia's sustainability appear to be in the air again. Does anyone have any reliable advice about their prospects?

Why BA participates in this race to the bottom amazes me. A once-excellent airline has joined the list of airlines to be avoided where possible

UPDATE: AVIS's promise to supply documentation has not been followed up a week later. Another dissatisfied customer. Do they care?

My current issue is with AVIS. In conjunction with my QF flight bookings, I rented a car for 3 days from SYD to be returned to Newcastle (NTL) airport. The quoted price seemed good, the standard fees seemed to be included (Vehicle Rego Charge; One-way Charge; Concession Recovery Fee etc), and...

Re: Hilton Tokyo - ID stolen via Wifi Since it still seems unclear just which part of OP's security was breached first, we are rightly concerned about various aspects of our IT security (especially, but not exclusively, while travelling). Like mel1, I'm not understanding all of this, but can...

This link is useful too – https://www.churchillscience.ca/about/northern-lights.cfm. Not really my original discovery - found it by following drron's earlier link. More great photos and scientific information for non-scientists from the Churchill Northern Studies Centre.

It's true that e-Tickets don't display Fare Type; Managing your Booking does via a hotlink but I don't believe I've ever had E so can't go back to check. Why is QF faffing around with this? It seems clear that the Member was not given access to any clear (or certainly accessible) advice that...

I think the advice to note "No staff inspection" is particularly useful; increasingly (it seems to me) at smaller airports, one is given the key at the rental desk in the terminal by a part-time employee working alone who assures you that "normal wear-and-tear and pre-existing ... won't be a...

Re post #38/39 The Hertz statement in press release that they will refund clients who've been overcharged "where appropriate and necessary" – "where appropriate" seems fine, but "where necessary" is out of order!

re: TV didn't work for entire J Flight LAX --> MEL Perhaps this should be a New Thread? My issue was not with the IFE but with my Business Class seat that was inoperable from LHR-MEL (QF10 21/22 July). Like 'The Mountain', I found the inflight crew to be excellent in trying to assist. None of...

Ditto similar hotel in Kuala Lumpur during Ramadan! Indeed, they had a featured bowl of sex toys with a ribbon around it. (All carefully itemised on the mini-bar list).

My MyUS.com saga has reached the point of complete silliness (perhaps on both sides?). I thought I'd long since parted company with this organisation - hadn't used their services, asked to UNSUBSCRIBE ages go; but then I noticed two surprising $USD7 deductions in December and January. I asked...

I did, indeed. AMEX are being very helpful, and are concerned by the statements from MyUS.com that deal was only for a 2-year free subscription. I've given them the link to this discussion. cheers

I 'joined' MyUS.com in 2012, and never actually used it, although they emailed me frequently to encourage me to do so. As far as I can tell, the last I heard from them was in November 2013 (I think I sent them an UNSUBCRIBE message). Now, I've notice that my last 2 AMEX Statements have had a...
