    What confuses you the most about award bookings ?

    This is true if you don't care where you go. But it's a huge issue if the sweet spot is Honolulu and you only want/need to go to Bangkok.

    What happens if you tick “yes” to respiratory symptoms when you check in?

    So keep doing what you're doing if that works best for you. Laughing at someone for wearing masks is as childish as laughing at a child for wearing glasses. But I think in a way you're right and I am special. Daughter has now been sick at least 5 times this year and wife has picked up 3 of...

    What cheeses me off

    Woolworths online. Why is it so difficult to keep enough stock at each of the stores? Trying to do an order for parents today and Woolworths 600mL Spring water bottles out of stock as well as Raspberry Fanta. Both in stock tomorrow but Raspberry Fanta no longer half price. I then called mum...

    What confuses you the most about award bookings ?

    I can't get over the surcharges on airlines such as Qantas. I know the airline industry has changed since covid but it used to cost x points + ~AUD350 classic award return SYD-BKK where the cash airfare was ~AUD650 return making the return on 60,000 points look very poor. Airfares are now more...

    What cheeses me off

    Yes I know this is tough luck but If I'm not mistaken a tradesman is going to cost at least $300-$400. I'm not there to see it but this is 2 toned textured brick that is not made anymore. Can't just paint over it so need some sort of paint stripper that is not going to ruin the brick. Lots of...

    I'm not confident a paint stripper is going to fully remove paint from textured brick. And then whos going to do it? Mum and dad? I'm in Brisbane.

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    Spend $100 for 4300 bonus points (dad gets the good offers) Spend $100 for 2700 bonus points Spend $100 for 1000 bonus points (that's lame) And lastly 10x points on all spend (almost as lame) It's been a quiet 3 weeks but finally some offers.

    Wouldn't that depend on the type of paint if water or oil based? Headache. And a useless message that does not help anyone.

    What cheeses me off

    Someone has vandalised mum and dads fence in Sydney with graffiti. It would appear that owners are responsible for removing graffiti. Where are pensioners supposed to get the money to clean up graffiti?

    Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

    I think you're mistaken. I'm neither the victim nor the moral arbiter. I've expressed an opinion and all that I see is people attacking that opinion as outdated, irrelevant and any other reason under the sun. Why? Just let me have an opinion and post it here without judgement. I'm conservative...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

    Of course it's not OK for men to go about topless. There's a time and place for that. Home, swimming pool and the beach. That's about it. Full stop. LOL. It's not what I'm imagining. Breasts hanging all over the place for people to see. Short skirt with tiny g-string and the skirt lifting up as...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    When we started travelling again in 2022 I had a few overnight transits in SIN. The Aerotel was ~AUD250/6 hours. I have not bothered to check again and in my opinion anything more than AUD80/6 hours is a waste of money. By the way we have also had a few overnight SIN transits since with my wife...

    What happens if you tick “yes” to respiratory symptoms when you check in?

    Science? What science? That they've checked what effect masks have on every single person? I wear a mask in public, especially places with a lot of people such as shopping centres and supermarkets. Here's 2 undeniable facts that will never make me change my mind regardless of what "experts"...
