    AFF Review: MIAT Mongolian Airlines 767 Economy (UBN-ICN)

    I agree that Mongolian Airlines are very good. I did the Seoul-UB return trip, 1 way 767 and the other big 787. Economy was excellent, including meals. 2 tips: 1. at UB airport when departing, currency exchange is only available landside, no get rid of excess local money before going through...

    Questions on getting to Acer Arena in Homebush Bay

    As there are 2 of you, I doubt that the public transport option is cost-effective or easy enough. The airport station has an expensive surcharge. $15 1 way to city (and I don't age of your son, whether charged as adult or child). For all of the hassle of train to city, change and wait to get...

    Surprise! You've turned Gold!

    it could be an error, but i also wonder if it is a Virgin publicity stunt - not one that I agree with.

    Earlybird UK fares

    www.bestflights.com.au is a good mailing list to be on to know what is around (while I have used them a number of times without problem, have heard other accounts of hefty cancellation fees and some cases taken to consumer tribunals). You don't mention where in australia you would be departing...

    SYD T1 International Terminal Private Pick Up

    I was on assignment for a few mths at, of all places, Syd Airport Corporation. I saw in detail how the controllers are eagle-eyed for violators, including just snapping the pickup offence if too far away and then penalty gets mailed. This happens anywhere once you pass the entrance where there...

    QFF website unable to calculate charge

    an example is: SYD-BKK 21 DEC 09 31 DEC 09, select the 2 business class seats, points display 120,000 (which I have more than that), click Reivew "The system is unable to provide the miles cost for your trip (7067 - 2654)"

    SQ redemption site results vary

    experimenting with various in/out dates and with/out stopover I find that the FF flight results vary widely. I understand that where a stopover is involved there would be a window before ongoing flights are shown, but this is beyond that kind of thing. It's almost like I have to note that the...

    QFF website unable to calculate charge

    I've had a number of recent attempts to select QF FF flights around Christmas, and after selecting the (QF) flights and clicking Review I get a message that charge can't be calculated. Is this a recent glitch, or is there a trick to avoiding this?

    Bestflights.com

    seems to have sidetracked into appraisal of experience on a particular airline - which no travel agent has control over. Have used them a few times - no problems. Others I know have complained of hefty cancellation fees. As others say, its hit and miss depending on the staff member (like any...

    internat classic award seats seem to have dropped dramatically

    My recent browsing of options out of Sydney in the months ahead to SIN, BKK, FRA seem to yield many less seats than a few months ago. Has anyone else found this? Wondering if they are being scaled back as flights are reduced?

    'calendar view' of seat availability in search results?

    I'm new to Kris flyer redemption site and used to the helpful QFF search results displayed as a calendar so I can easily see when seats are available. Is there a similar feature on Kris, otherwise it seems so tedious having to change selections to each individual day to see availability.

    Drive-By Pick-Up Penalty at Sydney International

    This is the greed of Macquarie Airports at work. As you enter the airport there are signs saying No pickup permitted. Even taxi drivers who pick up at other than the taxi rank get an infringement. The patrollers even have digital cameras to snap the breach when they aren't able to issue the...

    SYD city to airport

    no, don't take the 400 bus unless you are going to somewhere on its route and need to save money. For the city, its madness. Taxi is sensible option as others have said.
