  • Alaska Airlines will join Oneworld in March 2021

    Oct 14, 2020, 04:58 PM

    Seattle will be handy for me with its proximity to Vancouver and connecting flights throughout Canada but I am disappointed with the negativity in descriptions of AA.      I am QFF and AA Advantage and have always enjoyed positive experiences with AA both internal USA and internati...

  • Qantas to auction off Boeing 747 memorabilia

    Sep 24, 2020, 08:30 AM

    Visited the Longreach Qantas museum in early September and “Wing Walk” experience was booked out two months in advance.   Accommodation is a premium out there ATM with Queenslanders flocking to enjoy their best place in the world without being jostled by the usual hordes of South...

    Another viewpoint ... I used AA points to book Qantas BNE-SFO 7 April and now received notice to claim a "credit" from Qantas!!!

  • Cathay Pacific cuts flights to Australia, mainland China

  • Exemptions from ban on international travel by Australians

    Jun 02, 2020, 01:05 PM

    Slightly off-topic but I regularly summer in Canada and my friend spends summer here using eTA for visa - with her March 31 flight cancelled she wisely decided to stay and applied for a "Streaming" visa (cost $385) - good for 12 months and was automatically sent a bridging visa … Not expecting a ...

  • New normal?

    Apr 07, 2020, 03:07 PM

    I suspect recreational travel like mine (Canada for Summer/Australia for summer) will be in demand for a starved public and demand will result in high prices for a time until 'normality' returns - the airlines are not likely to offer any bargains while they attempt to reinflate their share dividends

  • Any experience of Telstra new Day Pass Roaming

    I was unhappy with Telstra charges and particularly the fact that they do not employ Australians to provide assistance, so I switched to Optus on a $100/mth plan plus a 'family' SIM to put into a mobile broadband outer at home. It comes with a 2gb allowance in Zone 1 countries whuch I find is ...

  • American Airlines AAdvantage points redemptions

    Jul 25, 2018, 07:30 PM

    I booked an LAX-BNE using AA points earlier this year and phoned the AA SYD office to pay the taxes, which were still quoted in $US - all properly explained by the agent who was very attentive and helpful.I have used online purchasing in the US on many occasions and found that if I adopt an accom...
