But YOUR international rules are irrelevant to ALL of the airlines
in question -- they have their OWN baggage rules!!

Hey, did the pound let you out on Sontag for good behavior?  :-)

See my preceding statement.  It's YOUR int'l rules that are irrelevant.

Hee hee.  You mean you haven't heard that I had dumped Qantas
and will be flying on Korean Air?  Never say "never"!  Never.  :-))

Not many people know how to do cost-benefit analysis.  They sqaunder
what they have on unecessarily high price purchases, pay interest
for credit purchases, etc. ... and ended up having much LESS to
spend all around.

I don't mind being a mileage junkie -- for those who fly ENOUGH for
it to make a sizeable different.  Over 2 MILLION FFMs in the past
few years was worth MORE than the nominal equivalent of $20 per 1000
miles, or $40,000 USD's worth of freebies.  It's not something I
would sneeze at.  Gesunheit to you.  :-)

Anybody can do THAT!  Just pay for refundable tickets!  Knowing
as little as you know about flying and being as gullible as you
are about your TA, it's not surprising that she gets you those
tickets -- she doesn't have to pay them -- YOU do.

The next thing I'll hear is that she'll pay out of her pocket for
some of your travel expenses, and for YOU, she always give free
lunches.

She rubbed your lamp every time too, and why should you know it?  :)

You mean your INTERNATIONAL rule didn't apply because SQ has its
own rules?   LOL!!  You have just shot your own foot (again)
arguing about int'l rule and Qantas rule!  Korean Air has it's
own rule too.  :-)
