thursday 1 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 nah spook. I head it's a 20 hour trip via Tokyo with the transfers and waiting. But only a 9 hour from Sapporo Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 ok, fair enough. when i flew perth-sapporo i took cathay. overnight stop in HK on the way up there, but you could stay in the flash airport hotel for $40 or something, so it was fine. but yeah, a waste of time. i was a lowly student then, so annual leave didn't factor into my plans. i really would have thought they could sync tokyo-sapporo flights though - i mean, there's near empty domestic flights doing this route every hour Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I don't mind Quantas, but I hate British Airwyas, they are the biggest wankers ever. Although BA and Quantas are syndicated or whatever, I've found Quantas to be much friendlier than BA, **** BA!! (the airline, not the hard guy from the A-Team!!) Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 ba baracus / aka mr t would get his 2 boards on the fool plane... Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 the boards would get on, but he'd need Murdoch to knock him out "by surprise" before he got on the plane. I always wondered how BA was able to take loadsa punishment when fighting the bad guys yet, murdoch would give him a feeble punch and he'd be out Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I'd like Mr T to start on those fat BA bitches Link to post Share on other sites
Domokun_72dpi 0 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I believe it went down like: BA Baracus: "I ain't gettin' on no plane, Hannibal" Hannibal: "We're not flying anywhere." BA Baracus: "If he be flyin', we be dyin;" Hannibal: "Drink your milk, BA." So, yeah, BA would have to knocked the F out to get onboard. OH, and back on topic, interseting thread. I am looking into prices too =) Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 yeah, quantas are the same, its like a stewardess' grave yard. Only employ tubby old crusties Malaysian Airlines have smoking air hostesses Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 yeah but MAS employ too many blokes who would hang on to their sky waiter jobs for dear life. Singapore have the best curve hugging uniforms. Link to post Share on other sites

spook 0 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 i used to work with a bird who then went on to become a qantas hostie. she invited me round for a bbq at her place, and a whole gaggle of dolled up 25year old hosties showed up. all the boys were frothing although i must admit that the general talent on qantas planes is not much snuff. apparently virgin is top notch? hasn't this hostie thread been done before?

kuro 0 Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share Posted September 10, 2007 thanks for all of the replies guys. i rang up qantas three times and two out of the three occasions were in favour of two kits in the one bag because i would be checking in with my wife. i think if i was going solo i would have probs if I had the two kits, as it clearly states one kit per person on the website. also in terms of the limit, its safe to keep it within the free baggage allowance of 20kg per person when combined with personal luggage. if it exceeds the 20kg per person rule,they will charge you a fixed rate capped at 3kg. which doesnt sound too bad if you are over limit, but it roughly works out to be $108 per person which I personally would be disgruntled to pay. Daijobu! Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 if you show up early with a smile, they will let up to 30kg slide. if you show up late, when it is crowded and they're flustered and the last thing they want to deal with is a giant piece of oversize luggage, they are more likely to enforce the baggage allowance. i'd like getting there early, checking-in smoothly and spending an hour of my time sipping a beer at the airport bar...

indosnm 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 But if you have 1 "kit" and a back up board I don't think they'd charge ya. Seems to Nazi to me. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Alright get this straight, Virgin trolley dollies are fat arsed trogs. I hate BA most, Virgin comes second. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I'm flying ? BA all the way to London next year. I'll be sure to pass on your regards thursday. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Unlucky Mantas, unless you fly 1st class, BA doesn't give a shit about you. Very un-professional outfit, I hate them Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Everyone seems to hate them. Deserved I suppose, but others I have flown with don't seem much different. Fact is that if they are the cheapest way to get back to the UK which they often are, you are not rich and unless you want to go via some mad route people will still use them and save their pennies.

spook 0 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 i've actually never had a problem with BA but if you lived in the UK you are prone to the strikes and other stunts that get pulled every summer at heathrow Link to post Share on other sites
