    Ripped off!

    I have to fly to Perth and the ticket that was booked for me did not include any more than carry on (7kg) luggage. For $15 on line, I got an extra 23kg of checked baggage. Here's the rub, card handling fee......$9.00, you don't find out about that til after you have paid.
    I suppose you have to pay for the newest fleet somehow.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    don't worry, I booked on line with and got options, if i wanted to get off the plane earlier than other passengers there was a surcharge, book a seat surcharge, want a seat with more leg room surcharge , after I had clicked no to all the extras and I hit the buy button, the price changes and included a surcharge for using a credit card, it was hidden somewhere in their gobbily gook

    There is also a surcharge is you want to board the plane first. Watch out also for the insurance charge that thay add on if you are not paying attention.....

    Still, flying is a lot cheaper these days than the bad old days thanks to budget airlines. For short commuter flights I just put up with whatever hassles and discomfort.

    Should have charged the likes of you triple the fare seeing you are coming over here to rape and pillage the GENEROUS wages we offer in Wait Awhile

    Jim, I did consider driving over but the timeframe wouldn't allow it. The caravan still hasn't been slept in.
    Andy, if there were any decent steeringwheel attendants over here, I*'d still be over there.
