  • Funny idea, childrens/family section in earlier comments and now a masturbation section. Hey this is funny, it's called People Go Bonkers at 35000 feet.  http://www.tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/people-who-go-bonkers-at-35000
  • There was an era (before the deregulation) you dressed well to catch a flight. The prices were fixed and the service was impeccable. No frequent flyer miles, no upgrades for free and no-rif-rafs.

     

    Why would airlines, which need more paying passengers make restrictions. They could have a special section or row for these types of people :-)

    Most Australian Business Travellers are hoping for increased competition in Business Class, which Qantas has dominated ever since Ansett collapsed 10 years ago

  • There were three security incidents on domestic flights yesterday. My favorite: the guy who wanted to use the exit door during the flight. 

    More to the point, are we in for a spate of freelance terrorism?

  • What are the best air travel booking sites out there at the moment? A post in this week's Tripatini blog looks at the question.
  • A Tripatini just asked a good question about fares that absolutely baffled me, but I think some of you can answer it. SeeAsk a Travel Pro.
  • Welcome news on many different fronts. DOT has been lagging in consumer protection compared to it's EU counterparts.
