Newbie to the forum, so "Hi Everyone!"
 
retired granny; love to travel ANYWHERE [almost! ;-)] with my main man for almost 50 years.

Hope this is where I can post a couple of questions. If I'm wrong, please someone tell me NICELY ;-) where to go.
1. Flying on KLM... YYZ to BCN. Will my standard 'Walkman type' mini jack headphones work?
2. What's the most economical and reliable way to get from the airport to the cruise pier and reverse pre/post cruise?

Appreciate your input. Tks!

Hi. I've just joined up today. I live in a small country town on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, a lovely if dry spot near the beach. I work in a different town about 20km away and fly about every 5 years. It's interesting to read about peoples' experiences when flying.

We're flying home to the UK in July for a few weeks, and we decided to go business class to fully immerse ourselves in the experience (originally flying Malaysian as KLM, but switched to Emirates when they upped the ticket price by $1500 each before we could pay for them).

Hi all! My name is Januar, 27 years old, and my profession is a businessman. I think this is a very popular forum site to look for many things to discuss and read. I hope this forum site will bring me a lot of ideas.

Not quiet new to travel, I did a lot of it about 8 years ago, but, now my new job has me doing it quiet often, both Domestic and International to the Middle East mostly. Glad to be here, hope to learn a lot about how to maximize my travel!

Hi everybody; am a newby; am in Queensland Australia; planning a RTW trip from march 2014-march 2015, hopefully a AONE4...trip of a lifetime.
Buying AONE4 from Sydney is $18K++, Auckland is $14K++, but I see buying from Seychelles is currently cheapest on list since Sudan been "found out" since November and prices quadrupled! Wondering if anybody is/has tried buying ticket from Seychelles?
I liked the route AndersB planned which will give him two trips to Europe and two more shorter ones within ANZ within the 12 months.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated;

Hi
Welcome to the forum

Better to ask *ONE* questions here:- http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onewo...cket-faqs.html
There is no OneWorld service in the Seychelles so you cannot but tickets. Is an error still being listed.

Hi. I am Robin aka MactasticMendez. I'm a software test analyst for a company that makes financial applications. I'm 23 and live in the north west UK and started collecting virgin air miles 8ish months ago with a goal of upgrading our flights this summer from economy to premium for me and my parents and sister. So far I'm up to 30k miles and have come here to find out the best ways to boost my miles further and maybe share what I have done to earn 30k as a family with only a one way Econ flight to NYC to start my points off.

I and a big geek and hobbys are sun, gym, cinema, gaming, computers and I would love to travel which I hope to be able to do with my new job.

Hi Philip from Montreal YUL - I have been a member for a while and I am finally getting around to introducing myself. Love the monthly e-mails and stories from around the world.

I travel by trains, planes and automobiles! Medical sales for 20 plus years mostly in Canada, but with the odd trip to USA and Europe.

Your message on Hotel Pet-Peeves has finally forced my hand!

Those darn curtains that let the light in - Just give me a large bath towel all by itself beside the shower, keep the small towels and facecloths away! - and please no small round soap holders in the shower, shampoo falls off, razor falls off = FAIL

I will re-post these peeves in the other forum as well :)
