In regards to the IDP I actually have a lot of experience with it since i own a car hire comparison site carhire.global Having said that, if you are travelling to Europe, USA you actually don't need an IDP as our driving license is in Roman Alphabet and all car hire companies will accept it as is.

Why not do it? And why should the SA gov help them out? They where loosing money for years on a price war with virgin? That didnt make sense either but they still did it. The SA economy is not too bad lot of new contracts coming in especially in space and military industry. But no point in arguin...

Good point DanV

Lol @ goldmine, thats just facts. How is it not a disgrace for the national carrier not to fly internationally out of the SA capital city that has over 1.3 mil population? If qantas brings the adl - sin route they would fill up the metal easily.

I dunno, i struggle to find a J ticket to doha or dubai and to singapore out of adelaide.I don’t know... there seems to be demand on those flights.
