Qantas heads for billion dollar blowout
Aug 22, 2014, 10:56 AMFocussing on just the domestic business, how have either airline managed to not take advantage of the huge FIFO boom over the past few years is beyond me.

Uber Brisbane car taxi free promotion code
Apr 22, 2014, 11:51 AMThe email I got from Uber was that a Prius or Holden Cruze would pick you up in Brisbane. I thought this was a limo based service? Or do Prius's and Cruze's get used in SYD/MELB?

I have membership for both Qantas and Virgin and have at times turned around and walked straight back out to find a quieter and more relaxed enviroment in the restaurants or cafe's or even just the gat...

Better for upgrades: Qantas Frequent Flyer or Virgin Velocity?

Is Brisbane Australia's best airport..?
Aug 09, 2013, 02:10 PMAdelaide for me, easy airport to navigate, modern and airy good facilities etc. Melbourne, followed by Perth which I find ok and a close follow on to Sydney Brisbane is a joke!

Nov 11, 2013, 04:49 PMI'm thinking reading between the lines re connecting flight via Qantas, is that you were flying back to Melb via Sydney or the like, where you would then take a Qantas connection? If thats the case you ended up with a better deal anyway by flying direct to Melb instead of a stopover. What ex...

Aug 02, 2013, 11:20 AMI would agree with taking the hawaiian option first, qantas 2nd as yes they like to use their oldest retiring planes but still offer ok service and reliability and definately Jetstar last. Jetstar always seem to be delayed and eight hours on any jetstar plane for the sake of a couple of hundred d...

Is it normal for employers to knock back internet charges for reimbursement!
Nov 14, 2011, 10:25 PMIf you can verify/argue that the charges were business related then you have a point to bring up with your manger/s as they should have authority to overide a standard accounts decision. However if the internet use was personal, say communicating with your family via webcam, email etc then ...

Nov 14, 2011, 10:14 PMWhats the go with Virgins new domestic aircraft? I have been on two recent Melb-Brisbane trips where I have been aboard their new aircraft.
