Would be interested to see that equation/trip summary.

Ok so I am at a loss, what to do with it this year, normally I have give it to a colleague, but currently I am in start up mode as the lone employee in Aus for a US company, so no colleague that could truly benefit from it. My Wife only travels with me if she travels so wasted on her. Has...

Hi Guys & Gals, as the title says, my airport service driver is selling up, so I am looking for a great recommendations for drivers that service the Frankston South area. Unfortunately whist I know the guy that he is selling to and he is OK, he talks a little too much about his family issues...

Pretty much only Marriott/SPG, didn’t even know about the gym gear option, must have missed it lol. To be honest my tops, shorts and socks weigh less than a kg all together. I use very lightweight gear which also means it folds small as well. My biggest issue is the second pair of shoes/runners.

Qantas

I’ve done it, I went with a 4whl Victorinox Werks 20 and have even trial packed for a week measuring as I go.
