QF Ad in the Miami Herald Newspaper
I flew on AA280 this morning, LAX - MIA. The flight was a 757 and it was full in both classes, with many of my fellow Business Class travelers obviously Aussies connecting from the early morning LAX QF arrivals. There is apparently more QF business generated from MIA than I would have figured. The reason that I am bringing this up is that when I opened the Miami Herald newspaper tonight, I saw a pretty big QF advert hawking "Your Dream Vacation at a Dream Price," with the roo tail of a 747 depicted in the ad... Decent advertisement with great prices ex-USA indicated in the ad.

Too bad about the change in the vacation experience going from J on QF 744s to the luxury (not) of the F on AA 757s. I'd be "dreaming" of the QF red tail after 5 hrs in those crAApy seats.

You Aussies must be going to MIA to warm up, no? Why else ride our lovely 757-200s? 
Maybe the flights are really full of folks looking for a "soft" winter experience? A few more years and trips to the upper half, they'll work up to International Falls, Minnesota, or even Churchill, Manitoba in Canada - everyone can be happy there, as 40 below Celsius is the same in Fahrenheit - 40 below. Trivia I never needed, nor wanted, to know but experienced firsthand up there.)
Yes, I can post here - I am QF NB! Briefly, member of the Pub as well. Actually, got lost in the one at Brissie and spent the year there...
