So after last week’s post about my frustrations with Qantas’s Frequent Flyer programme, I thought I’d write a post about earning and using frequent flyer points, because I do love to collect and use the points, even if sometimes there are headaches associated with the programs. Here in Australia Qantas probably is the program with …
As the year of 2017 is winding up, it is no surprise to anyone who knows me that I already have decided on my travel plans for next year. I’ll be writing more on those nearer the end of the year, but I have been doing a few bookings with frequent flyer points, and I …
Howdy all hope you’re well wherever you are in the world. Today’s airline review is based on my experiences flying Avianca, a Colombian based airline from Quito to Galapagos back in early October 2016. This flight was pretty exciting all told, because I was finally heading to Galapagos, one of the places I most dearly …
The biggest South American airline, I think I am right in saying, is LAN/LATAM, and I took numerous flights with them on my South American adventure. They were overwhelming my most used airlines so I think it’s only fair that my reviews start with them. My flights with LATAM – Sydney to Santiago with a …

Okay. So I have a bit of a confession. Despite my love of travel, yet more to the point my fear of flying, I can't get enough of the TV series Air Crash Investigations. Recently I spent time binge watching episodes online, it has a certain mesmerising power over me. I can't stop watching despite …
Budget Airlines are an interesting kettle fish, are they not? Fifteen years ago I guess they started up, and today they are everywhere. They are great for the shortish haul flights more than anything. They can get you from A to B really cheaply – if you book on the right day, for the right …
Well, Flight Centre’s Melbourne Travel Expo has been and gone for another year. It certainly is a bit of fun – I do love to run around and collect brochures and fill my bag with them. Although this year I didn’t really. Although plenty did, I saw lots of full bags, I guess that some …
