Which is the best Airline to travel to London in? I've been researching airlines and plane ticket costs and have a varying degree from $1300 australia dollars to $2300 for a return trip from Sydney to London in January - February 2008.

Round the World Tickets using Airtreks.com or Airbrokers.com? I was wondering if anyone had experience using either Airtreks.com or Airbrokers.com for RTW flights?

My preliminary travel plans are: Toronto or New York > London or Dublin > Athens or Istanbul > Calcutta or Deli > Kathamandu > Bangkok > Perth or Sydney > Auckland > Any Pacific Island > Vancouver or LA Any suggestions on what would be the best value? Airtreks quoted about $2800 (taxes inc). and Airbrokers was approximately $2600. Thanks, Brian

immigration - Australian visitor visa - I made a mistake by overstayed in Australia, how can I waive it ? I am a Hongkong citizen holding British (BNO) passport, bought a 1 year returned e-ticket from Cathy Pacific to Australia and they applied an electronic visitor's visa for me. The airline staff told me the visa is good for 1 year with multiple entrances, did mentioned how long each trip I can stay. So, I made a mistake bridging the visa by over stayed in Australia for more than 5.5 months instead of actually only allow to stay not more than 3 months, when I realized it, I turned myself to the Australia immigration department in Sydney, now they set a restriction to me that I will not be able to apply for visitor's visa in the next 3 years. Most of my very closed relatives and friends are in Australia, that's why I want to come very offen. I am an semi retired person aged 58, really like to come to Australia as much as possible with my relatives and friends but not to wait till 61 years old. Please help how and what should I do to waive such restriction set by Australia immg.dept ?

Flight from Singapore to Sydney? Hi, i am planning for a trip to Sydney in Jan 07. I remember that airlines usually give cheaper price during beginning of year due to low peak season for travel industrial.

If so, how much did you pay for the airfare? I remember early this year Qantas ever offer cheap ticket at around 700+(incl tax)... Otherwise i may have to go ahead for the 900 dollars ticket now.... Or should i delay my plan to maybe feb or mar for cheaper rates? can someone please advice me?

what flights you have taken for go to australia? Hello, one of my next goals is Australia and I can not wait to go. For the moment I am monitoring the prices of flights. From start easily reach the international airports of Rome, Frankfurt and Paris because there are several flights daily. Consequently, I have several choices such as Sky Team, Star Alliance and One World. If I had linked directly to London Heathrow would have more possibilities. I'd like take Qantas and there is a direct flight from Frankfurt to Sydney (it makes a technical stop in Singapore). In fact I'll see what I can find the best price. But back to the question: I wish to know what was your experience of flights you have taken to go to Australia. I would like to know the following information for feedback: 1) How much did you pay the ticket? 2) When did you go? 3) What s the company s air / and you've got and what flights you made? For example, Milan and Singapore with Singapore Airlines, Singapore-Sydney with Qantas .. 4) How have you found with / the company / and air / and you've got? The suitcases have lost them there? How long aveate during one or more stopovers? 5) Where you purchased the ticket? For example, the company's web site, web Expedia, eDreams, etc.., Travel agency For the moment the best price it offers Air China about 1060 euros per person. But I would like to fly the new A380 and I wish fly with Singapore Airlines, Qantas or Emirates could choose two outer seats in the upper deck economy cabin. Can I find a good price? I think so. Obviously I have to do this book on the official website of the airline, which is my habit to do, so I can choose my place to check in online, etc.. Then it is clear that bad luck can happen at any time, but to book a flight with less than 2 hours of call, well, it means find it themselves!! PS : Why many people says : forget Qantas, its bad company!? Thanks in advance

Advise on how to deal with my complaint with STA travel please? Hi, I am after a little bit of advise. My problem is that I was in Sydney and needed to travel back to the ~UK and booked a flight through STA travel, the flight cost me 467. When i arrived at the airport i was advised that sta travel had cancelled my ticket and because of the time differene it was 2am in the uk and i couldnt contact them. they had taken the money from me also. I was travelling with etihad airways and the lady at the desk contacted STA travel australia who told me that I could still travel on the flight but would have to pay 1700 aus dollars, nearly 1000 pounds. STA travel uk never contacted me even when i was in the UK, when i arrived in the uk i contacted them and was told there was an error with the system. I sent my letter of complaint advising i wanted refunding for both tickets because of the inconvenience etc, i have received a reply today saying they will only refund for the second ticket and as a gesture of good will they are sending me 75 pounds of sta travel vouchers. I am not happy with this and want to take it further and i am unsure how i approach this. They advised me that at the time the ticket was booked they had no agreement with the airline, although i recieved my booking confirmation and they had taken the money out of my account. Advise much appreciated please as I have never had to deal with this before. Thanks

Do you have a ticket to ride on the AIRBUS A380 ? Singapore Airlines is about to carry out the first commercial flight of the A380 on the 25th of October. The maiden flight will travel from Singapore to Sydney. The A380 is French-German made. It is the largest commercial airliner to date (occupancy 900 passengers). Price of tickets on the AIRBUS A380, Paris > Singapore > Sydney will range from 1000 to 11 000 Euros. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A380 P.S. I'm from France but I thought that I would have more chance of getting positive answers to this question on Yahoo! Singapore.

America wake up our rights are being taken away ! is that what you want ? The airports of the developed world have been turned into mini prototype police states, with little or no backlash from those forced to pass through them. But of course we’ll suffer any assault on our God-given rights to ‘save us from the terrorists,’ won’t we? This argument is based on the assumption that there are actual terrorists worth worrying about and secondly that the measures being taken in our airports are aimed at stopping their activity. Both claims cannot be substantiated.Following in the footsteps of several US counterparts, Sydney Airport recently announced its beta testing of face recognition biometric cameras, aimed at identifying ‘terrorists and other undesirable travellers’ according to the Sydney Morning Herald. As with all biometric technologies, the digital algorithms that make up your facial features are captured and compared with a computer database of criminals. If you resemble an enemy of the state then red flags are immediately coordinated to the operator and your dangerous terrorist activity is brought to a swift halt. Proponents of this system fail to take into account that terrorist masterminds are hardly likely to use notorious criminals to carry out operations where their movements will be filmed a hundred times over. If there were nineteen hijackers on September 11 roaming around American airports, surely there would be multiple video sequences of their activity? The FBI says so but all they have provided us with is a dodgy tape of Atta with two different time stamps on it. The rest is classified ‘due to the ongoing investigation’. Another fairly important factor related to facial recognition technology is that it doesn’t actually work. A Boston Globe report, cited by The Register, concludes that a similar test at Boston’s Logan Airport failed miserably. You see, not unlike a toaster that only has two settings – burnt and warm bread – facial recognition technology is either far too sensitive or positively laid back. Either Ahmed and his terrorist chums walk on by unhindered or a mother with a pram is likely to be subjected to an armed standoff. On the non-sensitive setting, anyone who is aware of the technology can avoid it by wearing a pair of sunglasses. So what other methods will Big Brother present in order to ‘save us from the terrorists’? In the first stage of what will eventually morph into the behemoth ‘Total Information Awareness’ – the US Justice Department has proposed anti-terrorism regulations that would entail everyone who wanted to fly in and out of the country would be forced to disclose detailed personal information. This report was carried by The Washington Times. Even though the Immigration and Naturalization Service would implement the regulations, the law would apply to American citizens. This at a time when both the northern and southern borders are more wide open than ever. The ACLU, more interested in making sure gay people are allowed to cavort in street parades, have declared no opposition to the proposal. Some people, perhaps even most, would have no aversion to providing their name, date of birth, citizenship, sex, passport number, country of residence, U.S. visa number, and address while in the United States. I would certainly support such measures for foreigners if I were under the delusion that our governments had any incentive to prevent terrorism. But what most don’t realize is that this is only the initial stage of a nice little horror that the government has been planning for a year or more. As can be judged from reports early last year by both The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times, these new proposals are merely the first generation in the creation of a centralized government database via the airports and airliners and one which will possibly form the largest chunk of Total Information Awareness. Federal aviation authorities (power) in alliance with technology companies (greed) eventually plan to delve much deeper into your personal life, right down to your daily activities through to what magazines you read. This, according to Joseph Del Balzo, formerly with the FAA, will enable the government to have, “a pretty good idea of what’s going on in a person’s mind.” Such minute details would characterize an individual’s ‘threat assessment’ – so if you willingly submit to letting the government know how many times you go to the toilet a day then you’ll get a green security grade, cheap airline tickets, fast airport security checks, convenience and consumer love. On the other hand, if you have any semblance of morality or memories of what it was like to live in a free country and refuse the ‘trusted traveller pass’ – you’ll get a red security grade and will be rightly hassled for the subversive that you are. The government will have a large task on its hands collating all the data, but has already been assured by market research companies that the system is workable. They will willingly pass on the data they’ve collected on you from all those annoying dinnertime calls, just for a small slice of the money pie. Big Brother then quashes our fears by promising us there is no possible scope for abuse of the program. Officials admit that ultimately the system is designed to be integrated into the biometric national ID card. Let me spell it out for you. A mandatory national ID card with your biometric thumbprint scanned on which tells the reader how the government view your behaviour on a scale of ‘submissive and compliant with state demands’ (green) to ‘definite subversive, possible enemy of the state and potential terrorist – 9pm house curfew’. Get the picture? Just take a glance at how the early ‘security measures’ have played out at airports across the world. Every week we hear stories about 18-year-old zit faced adolescents fondling blonde haired, blue-eyed women because they might be terrorists. Or how obese, greasy old men take 8-year-old Katie aside for some ‘special screening’. Nicholas Monahan, a film producer, related the harrowing tale of how his pregnant wife was forced to expose herself and have screeners touch her breasts in full public view at Portland International Airport. Upon seeing his wife crying her eyes out, Monahan complained and was subsequently arrested and thrown in the airport jail (yes they do have those now). Monahan likened his experience to something out of The Gulag Archipelago. The trauma of the experience contributed to his wife having to have a caesarean section. Don’t forget for a second that all this is coming from a government that is ‘manufacturing terrorist alerts to keep the issue alive in the minds of voters and to keep President Bush’s approval ratings high’ according to World Net Daily. Go look for the definition of terrorism in your dictionary and you’ll get something similar to, "The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.” By this very definition, the only group gaining a political advantage from terrorism or the threat of terrorism is the White House! Who is creating the ‘terrorist threat’ to justify the windfall of power and money that goes hand in glove with new airport security regulations? The very same group pushing the security regulations. Here’s a solution that would prevent another September 11 from happening, along with preventing our airports from becoming police state processing points. It’s a solution that is loaded with common sense, guaranteed to work, but would make no money for technology companies and wouldn’t contribute to feeding Total Information Awareness, which is just coincidentally why the government has been dragging its feet over implementing it. Arm the pilots.

rude customer funny or not xxxxxxx? An award should go to the Virgin Airlines gate attendant in Sydney some months ago for being smart and funny, while making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo. A crowded Virgin flight was cancelled after Virgin's 767s had been withdrawn from service. A single attendant was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travellers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it HAS to be FIRST CLASS". The attendant replied, "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these people first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out." The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?" Without hesitating, the attendant smiled and grabbed her public address microphone: "May I have your attention please, may I have your attention please she began - her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Gate 14." With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the Virgin attendant, gritted his teeth and said, "F**k You!" Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to get in line for that too."

singapore airlines, A380 economy class, are their any footrests and moveable headrests? I am flying on the A380 singapore airlines in economy class on friday, sydney to london and wondering if anyone has flown on this aircraft with singapore in economy? What is the space like? I believe it quite spacious for economy. Are their footrests, do the head rest adjust? like on other airlines such as cathey pacific? I would not usually be bothered but i have just had spinal surgery last monday so obviously I want to know what to expect and whether i need to change my ticket and upgrade although i really can't afford it. I booked the ticket because someone had told me their economy is one of the best in the class and space wise? Either way it does not really mater, just annoying I need to fly long haul so soon after spinal surgery, hopefully their are a few free seats so i can try to lie down!!!!

Anybody ever flew Qantas from the U.S.? Have to fly from San Fran to Sydney Australia. It's a very long flight and I can't afford a business class ticket. Does Quantas have more seating room than standard airlines like American? I'm pretty tall and I'm just trying to prepare myself for this 18+ hour flight...

Vacationing in Australia? My best friend lives in Australia and wants me to come visit after I graduate in December. She will be out of school until March so I was hoping to make the trip sometime in those three months. I will be staying at her place for free so I don't have to worry about hotels or anything, but figuring out the best way to book my flight is driving me insane. I've flown on lots of planes, but this will be the first time I've had to book the flight myself. I live in Houston. I don't mind if I have a flight with several stops. My schedule is totally flexible. I don't care what day, or what time of day I leave. My friend lives in between Sydney and Newcastle, so I could fly into either airport. Money is an issue. 1. Should I book roundtrip, or should I book the flight out and then get a ticket to come home while in Australia? Which is cheaper? 2. What airlines should I use? 3. What days are cheapest? 4. I know holidays are more expensive. How long after New Year's should I wait to fly? 5. Someone told me it might be far cheaper to take a greyhound to California and fly out from there, is that true? 6. What fun things should I do while I'm there? Any other advice would be appreciated. I'm not a novice flier, but a refresher would be nice. :D
