Worst experiences....... Flew Manchester to Tenerife on an Airtours holiday...... Luggage was delayed and they put us in a different hotel to the one we'd booked, then failed to pick us up from our hotel for our return flight!!! Flying QR Nightmareliners, they're like sardine cans,,,, Hopefully won't have to fly another.... They've already upgraded DOH-EDI to the A350 , soon to be joined by DOH-MAN. Best..... A biz class upgrade on an Etihad A340-600 on only my second trip with them

Yep, I get the same... WankerFiendMr

Good to hear you got it sorted Gus!!!

Is this the place? http://www.enduro-madness.com/dirtbike-training

Did you manage to pre-select your seat with Thai?

Might be a bad thing for competition and prices if the ME3 become the ME2, although with the new Istanbul Airport due to open later this year there might be increased competition from Turkish

Can't make this, Happy Burpday Adam..... Have a good one!!!!

Nowt to be embarrassed about having a 9 year old PC......The PC I use for browsing is based on a 8 year old motherboard running a 6 core CPU. For the more serious stuff I have a couple of AMD Ryzen systems that I built last year.

How old is your PC? Motherboards nowadays have quite decent on-board audio. I haven't used a dedicated sound-card for a long time

Yep, but it's in the Airline Discussion sub-forum and the thread was started about the effect of a "No Deal Brexit" on flights, not on house prices!!!

The bassist on this song is Patricia Morrison, she went on to play bass with The Damned between 1997 and 2004 - she married Dave Vanian (lead singer of The Damned)... I've talked to her and Dave Vanian after a few Damned gigs I've been to ..... Nice lady!!!

What has house prices got to do with Airlines????

Yep..... I used to use Speaker systems designed for PC (like the Creative ones) but they had a bad habit of failing on me and I've used my Rotel/Kef combination for over 10 years without a single problem. Had the Rotel amp spare after upgrading to an Arcam Amp and Arcam CD player for listening to my CDs. It's easy enough to find a cable to connect a PC to a normal stereo amp.

I run a couple of Kef Speakers through a old Rotel Stereo amp fed off my PC rather than PC speakers.... much better quality sound.

This topic is in the "Airline Discussion" forum. Perhaps it would be better moved down to "Politics and "Religion" if it's going to be turned into a wider discussion of Brexit...

Your friend needs to be told about never making plans when visiting Thailand, and especially Pattaya!!!

Cheers for your continuing efforts Frosty...... :thumbup

Do you use cashback sites like http://www.topcashback.co.uk ??? They're paying out £9.45 cashback on long haul flight bookings(todays rate) if you click through to Travel Trolley with them. I've had about £200 cashback this year using topcashback.co.uk.... Best deal I had was with my house insurance...... £70 cashback on a £125 building and contents policy

I've used Travel Trolley twice with no problems what so ever....

I stopped flying with Emirates when they started charging for selecting seats ahead of check-in on the "el cheapo" fares. As long as Qatar keep that option I'll stick to flying with them....

When I've booked with Travel Trolley once I've got the Qatar reference number I just log into my booking with Qatar and picked our seats without any problems... Same with the other agencies I've used.

Cheers for spotting my error!!!

I've had no problems booking via an agent, and no problems for things like seat selection...... Last year my daughter was due to fly to Thailand to spend 2 weeks gaining work experience at a maternity hospital in Phitsanulok. She is currently doing a midwifery degree. Sadly the placement got cancelled 10 days before her flight..... Her flight tickets with Etihad were "non-refundable" cheapies..... the travel agent she booked with obtained a full refund for her, she would not have got that if she'd booked directly with Etihad.

I use a mixture of both and use Cashback links before making my actual booking . I do plenty of researching the options before doing the actual booking. My October trip was booked using Traveltrolley via a cashback link, but my internal flights in Thailand was via Thai Airways and Bangkok Airways websites.

Latest news is the upgrade to A350 has been brought forward to the 1st October!!! https://www.routesonline.com/news/38/airlineroute/280117/qatar-airways-accelerates-a350-manchester-service-to-early-oct-2018/
