    Is now the time to bring up that there's a theory that Jesus Christ was born 4 years before it was reported that he was born? That would make it 2014 this year. It's all relative. Until it isn't.

    It's all too hard: do you have a frequent-flyer degree?

    Only if you want to exploit it to the n-th degree. The common sense part is about devoting all your travel to one alliance of airlines to maximise your earning potential. You could get more sophisticated than that, but you don't need to be to get some privileges.

    Article "Kids should not be taken on planes"

    Let me apologise, in advance, for those passengers who will be affected as I move my family (four kids under the age of 6) from Australia to the U.S.. It'll happen sometime in January.

    How long for AA flights to post on QFF?

    I'm still waiting for AA flights to credit from the 9th of September. Qantas asked for evidentiary support... which would be fine if I hadn't misplaced one of the boarding passes (most likely left on board). Hoping that the e-ticket receipt will do the trick... Can anyone explain why AA is...

    A mish-mash of QF and SA itinerary - how to manage FFPs and seat selection

    Can't help you on the allocation of a BD number to the SA flight, but with respect to the seats thing, remember that QF codeshares with SAA across the puddle. As such, some seats are unavailable (for a time) to QF-bought seat holders. Your flight over appears to be 4-class, and the flight...

    I cant find my seat...

    Are there three class (with W) aircraft up and about? Or are they just being sold as J/W/Y serviced by a J/Y aircraft? If so - it could be this... http://www.qantas.com.au/infodetail/flying/inTheAir/ourAircraft/744-56J356Y.pdf

    Already Upgraded?

    In response to the economic downturn, Qantas have been designating certain Premium Economy seats on some flights as Economy seats, and certain Business Class seats on some flights as Premium Economy seats. This effectively allows Qantas to sell more Economy seats. If you have been assigned...

    PE seat for O class fare

    I've been able to do the same thing (select what appears to be a PE seat) also on a relatively inexpensive fare. My flight is the week before Christmas from LAX-MEL.

    This seatmap is consistent with a 14F,66J,40W,187Y layout, otherwise referred to as the Pacific configuration. Qantas 747-400ER plane or the "ugly sisters" (VH-OEC, VH-OED (ex-Malaysian Airlines) or VH-OEB (ex-Asiana Airlines aircraft)).

    OP UP on QF 107 and 108

    My recent flight from SYD to LAX (QF11 3/8/09) had me op-upped to W sitting in a J (albeit with W service). Y was completely full. That and the KUPP fares to get to the East Coast made for a very pleasant trip and 255 SCs.

    Advice about wireless

    I read somewhere (APC magazine, I believe) that one of the reasons why Telstra has their price so high is to intentionally minimise the subscriber-base (while not necessarily affecting profits) so as to ensure that the high speed is maintained. Their network is one of the fastest, and as you...

    Upgrading 101

    Please be aware that flights between Australia and South Africa can have quite high loads for business class seats. I've found that mid-week flights (including Monday) have less risk that the business class cabin is full.

    Travel for New Years

    I can't help you with the complimentary pass, but just be aware that your flight from BNE to VLI will be on Air Vanuatu. Very nice service, but bring a good book or your own entertainment. Or enjoy the rest.

    Airfare Refund - They want my bank account details?

    Excellent! There's this Nigerian fellow that has been talking to me for years now, about transferring money into my account. I was a little apprehensive, but it sounds perfectly safe now!

    Exchange rates

    The AUD/ZAR rate has been quite volatile, but I feel this is more to do with the events in Southern Africa than any supremacy in the AUD. I've been spending quite a bit of the past couple of months in South Africa, and fear that things are going to get a lot worse before they get better...

    For those people quoting a visit to Switzerland, how many were on a Contiki tour?
