Thanks for the replies. Kiwi Flyer, just for running around the city (auckland) -- I used to have a car there but don't go often enough now to justify it. I've decided to take up an offer to borrow a mates car -- got a thing about rentals; I hate them, and am fussy about what I drive...

I really hope this isn't a double up (done a bit of reading thus far). If it is, I apologise. Any tips for kiwi car hire for someone who gets no corp discounts??? I noticed that post on the engineers/scientist/manager thingy organisation and if that was worthwhile, might be able to fudge...

And I thought the HP was the problem!!!??? Will try harder if I post more in future, promise (bats eyelashes appealingly);)

OK, thanks. I haven't seen gluten as as option on the food, and truthfully I've never worried that much about it. I'm pretty tolerant of most things when flying. This might require a phone call to Qantas-mort. blech. It's not in the online options... Flying Fox, I agree with you...

Unless you're wheat and dairy allergic -- and on Qantas you are screwed if you are as cheese and bread/crackers seems to be a constant. ::Reminds me to pre-order my meal for next week.:: I've been reasonably lucky with in-flight food; it's been fairly edible. Either that or I'm not too...

Thanks SeatBackForward and Altair. Altair, I'm relieved! Serfty, I hope the "interesting post" isn't in a bad way. :p I guess this is now waaaaaaay OT, so I should move on now!

Hi, I'm new here and find this thread fascinating! I'll preface by saying it's pretty unlikely I'll end up in CL. I'm not the son/daughter of any chair-person, pollie, or anyone else "important". I'm a self-made person who doesn't run a huge corp (just an SME), and I don't fly all that...
