    First Rex experience not so great?

    Wondering if my first time on Rex is just unlucky? I’ve flown a lot over a lot of years, used to be WP for years so travel issues are known to me, but none as bad as this first trip on Rex. 4 flights, with Rex connections. So far I’ve had 2 re-schedules which eventually screwed my connection and...

    Successful QF 'Bid Now Upgrades' data thread

    I’ve used bid-now quite a few times. Usually goes ok for me. No idea if gold makes a diff. I usually do it on flights I don’t care either way, so I bid low and happy to miss out. Then happy if it gets up! :) Last week did CBR-ADL, plus partner. $1k+ Each for biz fares. I bought Econ for $175...

    QANTAS takes A380s out of circulation [and reduces flights]

    Wow, reading thru this seems like it’s really going to hit their business. I’m hoping the current oil-pricing scenario might help them a bit. I think trimming the fat is the only thing they can do. Not just flights cancelled but whole routes cancelled and others put onto smaller planes. I hope...

    Qantas Meals on Domestic Economy

    I always try harder to have 1+ hrs in the qantas club before any dom flight. I always have laptop things I can do (or just relax) and I get a decent feed then opt out of the flight food. Even if I’m biz the food is nicer but minimal. I’m often happy with the club for soup and salad, toasted...

    Best multi-port USB charger?

    Just to clarify/confirm comments from others on the slow iPad charging. Even tho the iPhone and iPad chargers look identical, they are definitely not. The insanely small writing on each will show that the iPhone chargers are 5V@1amp, where the iPads are [email protected]. There are some variations ...

    Hello everyone

    hiya, I agree, card churn is certainly worth chasing, esp. if you’ve got a usage goal in the near-ish future. Welcome to AFF. :)

    Woolworths now caught out underpaying their staff

    That’s disappointing. I thought woolies was one of the better employers. I thought they used to have a reasonable union in place (maybe I’ve remembered that wrong) and I thought the local managers did a reasonable job trying with the shifts for my kids when they were going through as first jobs...

    Beware Melbourne Taxis skimming credit cards

    Yes I’d like to know also - how exactly did they skim the cards? Esp with “Apple Pay” terminals which I thought were no different to other EFTPOS ie. you can’t just follow thru with another txn and every txn has to be authorised. Was it that they put in a higher amount and in a hurry you didn’t...

    Computer Advice - Techos -> Non-Techos [Remote PC access while travelling?]

    Agreed about Team Viewer. I know ppl who use it and they’re very happy, none have reported issues. Dr. Google tells me it has an inbuilt VPN which is also a big bonus. Reason being that yes, you absolutely should use a VPN. And yes it should be a commercial VPN. So, money either way. If TV has...
