That's what I was thinking which is why I was curious as to the recommendation. But maybe I am missing something??

Hi - what is the advantage re: external placement as compared to internal? thanks

I am looking at Premium Econ fares for a trip that starts early April (bridges the school holidays in that it would commence prior and return in the middle of - dates are fixed). It is just so $$ - so much more than I am used to. So, am wondering what people's predictions are re: sales? any...

Just received a hard copy letter today from Latitude Financial (issuer of my 28 degrees credit card which I think was recommended years ago on AFF as having good FX rates for a cc). Seems they are offering insurance for "covered medical expenses up to $700k inclusive of COVID related medical...

I have been off this thread for some time as it was looking fairly simple - meaning, no need to make further predictions because international flights were resuming. Early last week I finally booked a trip to the USA to see my family - late Feb departure. Added a whole bunch of separate...

I just spoke to AmEx re: the Chubb policy that attaches when you purchase a flight with your AMEX. The rider available on the American Express cc website is the official rider and document - one that can be relied on. I'm satisfied that it provides me with the COVID coverage I need for my...

I just took a look at the AmEx policy and the supplement - it looks OK to me.

T Thanks! - very interesting...does this change to schedule happen every year? I don't recall seeing this schedule before but I don't normally travel at this time of year.

I just booked a trip to visit the USA late Feb/March next year. QF 93 seems to be a night flight now, rather than a morning departure/also landing in LAX the morning. Any insight whether Qantas might revert back to the old timetable anytime soon (by end of Feb)? I haven't heard any reasons for...

looks like 18 Nov to me (for VIC) - putting together Andrew's quote as per The Age, and his roadmap released on twitter

I have to wonder how much of this is based on cost versus what is recommended. The USA has taken the unusual step of making the initial vaccination (2 doses) "free" - it doesn't surprise me that this will not continue. Nothing stops Americans from getting a booster by paying out of their own...

Nothing seems to change their minds - it is just mind boggling!

I'm of the view that for children who are too young to be vaccinated, their parents/household should have to be vaxxed for the children to attend school. The best way to ensure children aren't infected and thus cannot transmit the virus is to ensure everyone around them is fully vaxxed. I don't...

It is more than this. The Royal Children's Hospital did an hour education seminar recently that covered vaccinations for children among other related topics. While children are at a lower risk re: serious complications of COVID, it is expected that the vaccine presents an even lower risk and...

I just have access to the headline and first paragraph but another advantage of AZ on a high level. Of course it will depend on your destination(s)...
