don't virgin already do this ? Is it all getting too hard especially in this day & age when cash is king & it seems almost everyone is offering big cash discounts for not using credit cards for payment

just like the B787, another hub buster.

it's all getting too hard, chasing points, when so many deals when pay cash not credit cards. Show me a traddie who won't give you at least 20% discount if you pay him/her cash no receipt. If it's for PPR don't need receipt & not my problem if he/she doesn't pay his/her GST. Qantas only reall...

hate to admit it, but changing flights in AKL is much easier than in BNE.

all baggage limits should be reduced to 23kgs only. I've managed to limit my checked bags to 23kgs inc skis boots & poles. Greater than 23kgs people are just too lazy to sort out what they actually need & pack to their limit. Reducing checked baggage allowances, let's airlines carry more ...

with Fiji Airways(FJ) being dominant carrier on SYD/NAN/SYD think their fares will be more varied.FJ want to keep the pm A330 relaively free for long haul passengers to eg. USA, which is probably why they now have a 6.15am A330 in peak season. That aircraft sits at SYD overnight, meaning you coul...

John Wayne it depends ........ last time I looked to fly SYD/LAX or SYD/SFO direct on Fiji Airways required roughly the same number of points as to do same routes on Qantas nonstop, BUT, taxes & charges on Fiji Airways were about $200 for an adult vs about $500 on Qantas because of fule surch...

Fiji Airways wide bodies up to 14 times a week & 737 max's at other times is my preferred option.

guess this will lead to more lower fares & frequent flyer seats on all 4 carriers SYD/NAN now.

would much rather fly a Fiji Airways A330 than Qantas 738. Fiji air has a bidding system for upgrades to business class as well, from any paid fare. Just looked at December & FIji Airways has a 6.15am A330, 5 days a week & 737 max other 2 days, arriving Nadi 12.15pm local time, so whole d...

many times, you get different people giving basically the same info. Lack of communication between cabin crew & cockpit crew.

Qantas virgin etc. Would do anything they can to kill off high speed rail

$600 return sounds like a very last minute type fare.$140 each way, sounds like a fare you can get with a few weeks notice.That said, there's definitely a demand for flights from say Essendon to Bankstown. A dash 8 or a Sab 340 could do it (many have been diverted from SYD to Bankstown over the y...

was around Newcastle around the time of Freedom Air flying into NTL & no virtually all the travel agents anywhere near NTL not only didn't sell Freedom Air, they neglected to mention it at all to clients, or worse still, bagged the hell out of it. Think some of them used to make a few $$$ out...

maybe the smart way to go, would be for NTL to organise coach transfers "FREE" to place like the Hunter etc. or some point between NTL & SYD such as Gosford or somewhere else on the central coast, with a few stops, that meet flights in both directions.This would highlight the convenience of N...
