UP UP AND AWAY

Air France has become the first airline in the world to offer an in-flight mobile phone service on international flights. Using the Mobile OnAir system, passengers travelling on board the Airbus A318 aircraft operating European routes can now send and receive sms and mms messages via all phones and shortly following a trial period will be able to make and receive phone calls.

 

BE SURE TO INSURE

As the saying goes, if you can’t afford travel insurance, you can’t afford to travel. Each year DFAT assists thousand of Australians in difficulty abroad- including more than 700  hospitalisations, 600 deaths and 100 medical evacuations.  Hospial costs in South-East Asia can exceed $800 a day, and in the United States basic hospital treatment can cost 10-15 times what you would pay in Australia for private hospital treatment. Medical evacuations from the US usually cost between $70,000- $95,000 and sometimes up to $300,000 so be warned!
