Anyone familiar with Lizard Island?

Which is, I understand, owned by Qantas.

Any info/experiences would be much appreciated

Thanks

and if they do own 25%, you may like to remind them that they have a financial interest.

BA were unable to give me any details of flights to the island, nor any details of accommodation until three weeks after my initial enquiry. I had booked it via another agent by then.

All that commission gone elsewhere. How much money was it they lost last year.....?

Spike: BA own 25% as they own 25% of Qantas.

And in reply to your question, they didn't make a loss last year, they made a profit!

I'm sure BA will be crying over all that lost commission, but who are you flying with?

I somehow think that in the intervening 10 years since the post, that the OP probably has all the information he needed

I must admit, I was a little surprised to see the date of the OP!
