Australia to slash the number of inbound passengers

Jul 10, 2020, 04:09 PM

I'm getting so sick of this line being trotted out. Everyone's circumstances are different, for many it's just not been possible or reasonable to ‘return home' over the last few months. As if that is really a concept these days - for many people where is home exactly? You may scoff but that ju...

Absolutely. The longer this goes on for the more people will be traveling not because they want to but because circumstances Outside their control require it.
Qantas to mothball its flagship Airbus A380s until 2023

Jun 18, 2020, 03:43 AM

So you don't like the 'Australian-ishness' of the branding but the cabin crew uniforms from Ansett and Jetstar are OK because they 'fully embued (sic) Australia' and 'come off as so much more Australian and classier'? Sorry but I think you miss the point. SQ is very Singaporean, from the moment...

Maximising QF status credits with transcontinental AA flights - LAX>MIA

Nov 18, 2019, 12:26 PM

I can't really add go the SC question but I have a place 10 minutes from John Wayne (SNA) and fly out of there on AA a lot. I generally fly to either Dallas or Chicago and connect from there. Phoenix is OK but there are more options via DFW.
New layout for the forum is really bad

Sad to say my time on this site has dropped off hugely since the changes. As much as I've enjoyed AusBT over the last few years this new site give little value, it's way to much weighted towards product placement and marketing dressed up as news items. I'm not after a lifestyle site, I'm after ...
