Re: Just bought a CAM

Good for you. Like PiperOne I also prefer printed material to online options. How I wish airlines would bring back a paper timetable.

You’re absolutely right. It’s just a pity they don’t seem able to fight back.

Re: Could United be returning??

I have a very long memory and clearly remember Continental at GLA and attending a meeting when it was said the second service would be from EDI. That both confused and angered me.

QF will only allocate seats at check in and MH have allocated my seat but not Mrs C- allocated at check in for her! Hopefully we are seated together. QF leg os S...
