Qantas has revealed the pricing for its first direct flight between Perth and London - and the tickets go on sale today. A non-stop return Economy flight to London will officially set you back $2270, although Qantas is promising prices below $2000 during promotional periods. Here are the details.

If you're a frequent work traveller who likes to keep fit, finding suitable facilities can be a real pain in the bum. Whenever a hotel isn't equipped with a gym (a frequent occurrence when work is paying) you're essentially forced between heading to an outside fitness centre or putting your exercise on hold. But there's also another way — with a little ingenuity it's possible to get a full workout inside your hotel room. This infographic explains how it's done.

Australian motorists have been enjoying super low fuel prices in recent months. To paraphrase the late, great Prince, we've been petrol-partying like it's 1999. Unfortunately, the salad days could be coming to an end. Here's why.

United Airlines made headlines around the world today after a gate agent refused to board two young girls on a flight to Minneapolis because they were wearing leggings. The choice of attire was deemed "improper" for United representatives, even though both passengers were children.

Despite almost universal condemnation and boycott threats from celebrities, United is sticking to its guns and refuses to admit any wrongdoing. While we won't defend its draconian and sexist policy, the airline does have one thing right - leggings are a pretty terrible choice for an aeroplane. Here's what to wear instead.

Over the last few years, air travel and work have become a lot more compatible. While tray tables are still too small and seats are too close together, it’s possible to read a bunch of email and plough through some jobs. Phones can be used right up till take off and almost as soon as we land and in-flight Internet is common in the US and coming soon to Australia. But the US government’s decision to band anything larger than a mobile phone from flights operated by certain airlines operating out of the Arab world is bad news. And possibly the thin edge of the wedge.

Qantas has been promising in-flight internet access on a limited number of domestic services for a little while now. But the trial is being delayed because of stability issues. Last November, Qantas said “We are very excited that we are a step closer to introducing our fast and free inflight Wi-Fi”.

It's easier than ever to find travel deals, and you can usually get the lowest price directly from the hotel or airline. This begs the question: are third party travel sites even worth it? Recently, Expedia enhanced their points program, which allows customers to earn travel rewards through them. They're not the first online travel agency (OTA) to offer something like this, so let's see how they stack up.

If you're planning a trip to the US, a high quality airline will get your trip off to a good start. Wichita State University and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University conducted a study on the major US airlines' performance every year. You might be surprised by the ranking.

Ford doesn't sell self-driving cars - yet. But some of the associated technology has begun to creep into its commercially available vehicles. Its latest premium SUV, the Ford Escape Titanium, boasts automated brakes that kick in without any input from the driver when it senses an incoming collision. Terrifyingly, we got behind the wheel to test out this feature for ourselves. Here is the video.

For the past three months, I've been riding the Priority Bicycles Continuum, a commuter bike outfitted with a handful of low-maintenance components and a drivetrain system with an "infinite" number of gears. It's been an absolute joy to ride and has regularly shaved about 15 minutes off my hour-long trips around Brooklyn and Manhattan. Besides being low maintenance mechanical wonder this thing moves seriously fast.

If your parents are anything like mine, they're probably always banging on about how their home city was so much nicer and cleaner in their day. Now there's an interactive bird's-eye view map that lets you explore Melbourne as it was 70 years ago - and compare it to the modern day.

Last week, we brought you the news about Qantas' fancy new premium economy seats. The redesigned for the 787 Dreamliner are 10 per cent wider than the existing premium economy cabin on its Boeing 747 and Airbus A380 superjumbo, and also boast a deeper recline. Here are more details.

Let's say you're planning an interstate holiday and you found an incredible deal on a flight. The only problem? It arrives at 8am and that's too early to check into most hotels. No need to nap at the gate, though - you have options.

Some drivers can reverse parallel park their cars without even thinking about it. For the rest of us, it's a prolonged nightmare of white-knuckled mortification where every turn of the wheel does the opposite of what you were expecting. Meanwhile, multiple bystanders are watching your attempts in a mixture of amusement and pity. Fun times.

Fortunately, it's possible to correct your arse-backwards parking by following a few simple tips. This infographic explains how to pull off three types of parking on your first attempt, every time.

From next month, Qantas will start offering a brace of in-flight streaming entertainment options that go beyond the Qantas Airways app. Foxtel, Netflix and Spotify will all be added to Wi-Fi enabled domestic flights. Here are the details.

Reducing the roar of jumbo jet engines to a whisper, the Sony MDR-1000X and B&O Play H9 Bluetooth headphones offer first-class noise-cancelling for travellers with deep pockets. But which one is best? We pit them against each other to find out.
