It won't surprise anyone that Australian Business Traveller readers were most interested in our continuing coverage of the flooding affecting Queensland, and particularly our information about Brisbane Airport.
Qantas was also high on your reading list -- and so was United's CEO telling us that his airline's service across the Pacific is second-rate. You were also interested in our pick of the best global SIM cards and the worst reasons for free upgrades Virgin Atlantic had ever heard.
And there was more! Read on for the full top 5 stories we published last week below...

In addition to our frequent updates on getting to the airport (and we're continuing to update you as information comes in), we contacted all the major airlines at Brisbane Airport and put together a full list of their policies on waiving change fees for flights to and from Brisbane. We also talked to travel insurers about what they'd be covering in the aftermath of the floods.
#2 Qantas had a busy week

Outside the flood coverage, Qantas was popular in the news again -- the engine turbine failure on QF11 on Saturday night, the new Sydney-Dallas-Brisbane-Sydney route starting this May, the axing of the popular Sydney-San Francisco flights, the A380 back in the skies over the Pacific, and the end of Anytime Lounge Access for Platinum Frequent Flyers were high on your reading list.
#3 Cheapest global/travel SIM cards revealed: special report
Like us, you were interested to know which global SIM card was the best
Travel SIM cards are a recent innovation, promising to slash global roaming costs.
