New Coronavirus News & Discussion forum |
We've noticed a large number of new threads discussing the current coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and its impact on travel. This is completely understandable and will hopefully assist our members in working through the travel and related challenges we are all now facing.
To ensure all of the relevant discussion and information is in one place, we've started a new sub-forum within the Travel News forum. For general questions and discussion about COVID-19 and its impact on travel, please use the Coronavirus (COVID-19) News & Discussion forum. |

On The Highway To Hell |
Trip report by JohnM | This TR does not involve any flying and only very little physical travel. Nevertheless, it's a trip of sorts... This year is the 40th anniversary of the untimely death of AC/DC singer Bon Scott - born in Scotland, came to Australia at the age of six and then settled in PERth - well, Freo. - and whose ashes are interred in Fremantle Cemetery. read more... |

|
Q: What's one thing you would never travel overseas without? |
A: Google Translate on my mobile, it has been my saviour several times.
|
Q: What's one piece of advice you would give to a new AFF member? |
A: When travelling, take your time. Get to know, understand and respect the people and cultures, which is often very different to at home. Understand this and you will enjoy your experiences so much more.
|
Q: Favourite thread on AFF? |
A: With so many excellent threads, it is hard to choose! An absolute favourite would have to be Ask The Pilot, which gives a great insight into so many different aspects of flying. It increases the respect that I have for those Guys and Gals that get us to our destination safe and sound. To give up so much time and effort into responding to members' questions is selfless and shows the reason why AFF is such a great forum - so many people giving up knowledge and time to assist fellow members in learning and getting the most out of the journey that is flying.
