During 2019 I ran a half marathon and during the 2nd half of 2019 a movie titled “Brittany Runs a Marathon” was released and I thought wouldn’t it be nice to run a marathon in a place like New York. During 2020 COVID came along and lots of events were cancelled and well my interest in running...

Back in 2019 BC (Before Covid) I had in mind to take a trip to Dubai and UK(Scotland and England) even found a AFF thread on one of the options I was looking at. Worlds shortest flight So 2020/2021 and 2022 were pretty much wiped for travel so it wasn’t until 2023 that the Scottish trip was put...

Went looking for a yearly AFF thread on flight totals, seems like one for 2021 wasn't posted as we all had such low mileage and so didn't post anything, usually there are people boasting how much flying they had done. 2021 would have seen very few leisure flights and it was probably only for...

You may have seen my most recent thread, Whitsunday Escape where I had booked a bareboat trip with some friends and had planned to fly between Brisbane and Proserpine by plane until I got sick. I thought this part of the trip needed its own thread as it is an experience in itself. The Spirit...

A few friends had organized a bareboat charter in the Whitsundays for 2020. What is a Bareboat Charter? You rent a boat only and allowed to sail or motor it with you and a few of your friends. What does it cost, you pay a fee around $6,000 to hire the boat for a week, so around $850 each for 8...

I was meant to be flying on Friday Brisbane to Perth using the Amex $375.00 credit. Do I cancel now to get the money as a credit so I can book a new flight heading to Prosperine in May. As its an Amex $375 I don't want a refund. Just making sure there are no fees with cancelling before the...

I was reading the Virgin Australia Voyeur magazine over the weekend and saw this same article. Does this mean the end to the Inflight magazine or is there a new version coming?

How do passengers check into a flight with bags and then don’t board. Must be some good stories.

thought this might be an interesting report for a few people, lots of AFF members have flown between Sydney and Melbourne and I am sure a few may have driven the route years ago but with speed and price flying is so much easier. The trip started on a Saturday with an overnight stop in...
