Amazing, thanks!

Thanks, not necessary for 2 travelers (but nice). Could you screen shot it? I'd love to consider that as an option. Also edit, how did you build that route for just $1198? edit could someone also run ADL to WLG through BNE in elevate one way and getaway the other would net 360SC or...

This is a few months old but SC are given to the individual traveler but no points are allocated. It goes something like the points have a value to the Government but the SC do not

We were there a few weeks after the new terminal opened. Sounds like not much has changed from then. There were three of us travelling and they wanted 150,000 IRP for our son (who was 12 at the time) to enter the "lounge". We had off loaded all our IRP and only had AUD and our credit cards...

I got the 200sc/75,000pints offer. Nothing to transfer :(

The match offer is not surprising given the state of public service budgets at the moment. Most have been cut back quite severely, with many offering redundancies. Travel is included in the cut backs. Had a flight to Canberra a couple of weeks ago on the other carrier and it was only about a...
