Thanks to a suggestion by cepheid, you can now very easily add a link to a Flyer Guide wiki entry in your post using [wiki] tags.

Flyer Guide is the wiki for Flyer Talk, by Flyer Talkers.

If you want to fly from London, England to Sydney, Australia and back to London again, this is your opportunity to fly this return airfare for a total of £215!

Of course, there is a catch:

This special Qantas airfare will go on sale from 8:00 in the morning (BST) Tuesday 21 July to Friday 24 July or until they are sold out. Availability will be strictly limited to 425 seats.

There are other rules and restrictions to this airfare, as well as more details. Please refer to the Qantas Ashes Sale – LHR-SYD £215 incl taxes thread for additional details.

If you want to place a long-distance telephone call from your hotel room, you may want to think twice.

The hang-up for FlyerTalk member BRUGUY is that he placed a telephone call whose duration was almost four minutes from his hotel room at the JW Marriott in Bangkok and was charged 935 Thai Bhat, or nearly 20 Euro. Those charges were certainly wrong numbers to BRUGUY.

We at The Gate will guarantee that you will never get a dial tone or busy signal — nor will you be charged any money — when attempting to access the Never ever make an intl call from JW Marriott BKK thread, where the details of the telephone call, as well as BRUGUY being the receiver of the reactions, opinions and commentary of other FlyerTalk members have been posted.

Is there really such a thing as a Canadian Restaurant?

If so, what kind of food would it serve, eh? What would distinguish a Canadian restaurant from other types of restaurants, such as Italian, Greek, Chinese or Japanese? Other than obviously in Canada, where would one find a Canadian Restaurant?

The Lufthansa status match for Italians was extended a couple of times but is now over. However in a crazy blitz, there are several more Lufthansa status match offers in Europe – including Czech Republic, Finland, Portugal, Russia and Spain.

Now and then, The Gate posts a quote which is worthy of being repeated here.

Today, the quote is as follows:

“I would pass on attending my own funeral to be a part of this!”

It seems as though this person is really excited, and that is an understatement.

Who said this, and why?

Star Alliance has finally added a booking function to it’s online round the world (RTW) calculator. As it is new there are sure to be quirks, bugs and useful tricks to learn. See more in the *A RTW booking tool discussion thread.

Did you know that Oneworld already has a online RTW booking tool, here is a link to the OW RTW booking tool bugs thread.

FT search is still terrible. A reminder there is a workaround using google with site:flyertalk.com  You can also include the forum name in the site reference to limit to a specific forum – forum search example here.

Yes, this story is indeed true — and discussion regarding this new controversial development has started to pervade FlyerTalk.

So, what is the pay scale? What does one have to do to earn cold hard cash? For details and further information, as well as opinions and comments, there are a minimum of three FlyerTalk threads where this discussion is taking place:

• shouldn’t folks who try to peddle goods here for others be disclosed?
• Flyertalk hiring?
• do you get paid to post here and pimp products?

…or, perhaps vice versa.

Take a gander at the And I thought I had seen it all….. White Goose takes a seat on board a DL flight thread to see one instance where one’s goose is not cooked after all.

FlyerTalk member berlinflyer earned a feather in his cap for posting down this fowl story that would typically be for the birds…
