    The view from my "office"

    Just boarded Seat 2A on one of those Boeing planes that seems to have a reputation for falling out of the sky, has door plugs fall out, or leave bolts behind. Saying my prayers. Have six of these in the next few weeks

    Check baggage through 2 one way ticket with China Airlines

    I can now answer my own question. BNE checked my luggage all the way through BNE-TPE-YVR-MEX Unfortunately it was fruitless. YVR airport operates similar to LAX, all luggage off arriving international flights regardless of destination are offloaded and put on the arrival carousel. We were...

    A bit of humour

    Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat, they talk about their moonshine operation. Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at...

    Left Qantas FF and Haven't Looked Back

    I believe I was 100% correct. VA do not fly to LHR. If the reference was a preference for Velocity earnings & redemptions over QFF rather than VA to QF, then I accept the commentary.

    What cheeses me off

    Some councils, not all offer the materials for free but don't supply the labour. Some councils have a list of retirees who provide services at low cost. No harm in asking.

    What cheeses me off

    So I called back yet again. Transferred across three "specialists" departments. No-one knows why I am getting the message as all checks have been completed as of 8 days ago. The one department that might be able to help is not answering their phone so they are going to email them to find out...

    What cheeses me off

    Been on this same iPhone with app since Oct last year. Been a customer for at least 15 years. Message only started appearing in last 2 weeks. Branch staff who are very frustrated acknowledged its some washing of data "due diligence" in backend somewhere that is going wrong and they get repeated...

    What cheeses me off

    The NAB app on iPHONE15 constantly asks me to complete a security questionnaire. The website I am directed to doesn't work. (a problem acknowledged by staff at branch- they get compaints regulalrly) I am then instructed to visit a Branch to verify my details. I went to a Branch 8 days ago and...

    Left Qantas FF and Haven't Looked Back

    There might be just a small problem catching a Virgin flight to London. Suggest you buy a lottery ticket with the alleged faultless service https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/virgin-australia-delays-cancellations.59773/

    Do the contents of the Business class Toiletry bags need to be in transparent bags for security?

    The disparate theatre of airport security is quite the epic saga. I purchased a 100% plastic belt that is used by security officers and similar so they can move around without triggering systems. BNEi they demanded I take it off. ADL NRT AKL KUL DOH CMN CAI AMM HKT and many others no don't take...
