    Velocity Frequent Flyer launches partnership with DiDi

    Yay! 1000 points added immediately. I hope Didi is better than Uber has been for me during the last year. Uber regularly quotes three to five times the amount to travel from the airport to home than it does to get me from home to the airport. Taxis have mostly transported me during the last...

    eSims, what is your experience.

    I haven't rolled it over as yet, however I still have a few Gb of available data remaining and I have an upcoming trip and two more overseas trips planned so far this year. I'll happily renew my $70 plan when it expires or is depleted. According to the Amaysim website... It's actually not a...

    eSims, what is your experience.

    I’ve used the Amaysim $70 roaming pack in Singapore Malaysia and Japan in conjunction with other local esims. I bought it so I could receive SMS verifications from my credit card provider and bank. Also because i wanted data if one of the local esims I bought failed. Amaysim’s roaming pack...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    However at least there was no utterly disgusting dirty foot mark on the bulkhead as I was not able to unsee during the outbound flight. Try eating anything with that in front of you. No response from VA. the outbound flight

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    BNE-CNS VA785 The same late lunch offering as I had on the outward bound flight. Not great. As bad as the outward trip. That's being generous. Very dry and the service was as lacking as any recent business class VA flight. As unappealing as what was in the BNE lounge offerings. I was in seat...

    Is Citi Plus still the best option for overseas cash?

    Exactly the same as me. I cleaned out my Citi account and have not interacted with NAB and their emails at all. If I wanted to bank with NAB I am quite capable of setting up an account with them myself. I didn’t and I won’t.

    Worse than feet on bulkheads

    Someone's bare dirty grubby filthy foot obviously rested on the bulkhead on my flight yesterday. Once seen it was impossible to not see, especially through the meal service. It should be unnecessary but it really is time flight attendants reminded passengers this is unacceptable behaviour.

    Is Citi Plus still the best option for overseas cash?

    The reason I asked about customer service is on the occasions I had to contact Citi due to a card they had suspended due to lack of use for a time due to Covid, it was like dealing with a brick wall only less helpful. Possibly the worst customer service I've experienced with any bank. I'm no...

    Is Citi Plus still the best option for overseas cash?

    Just wondering if anyone has moved to either Macquarie Bank or to Bankwest and has used the account at foreign ATMs or funds transfers in foreign businesses. I'd be interested to hear of your experiences with exchange rates and customer service from either of those two banks. Also I'd like to...

    Another Jetstar whinge

    I presume they were given boarding passes despite having not paid for luggage and then just walked away from the bag drop. Why do so many of these stories involve travel to or from OOL?

    Tokyo Haneda slot - how will Virgin Operate it?

    I'm currently on a train to Tokyo to board tonight's flight to CNS. I checked the app and found this. I've received no email or sms at all. I tried emailing the platinum desk and Facebook messenger however with no replies from either. Any suggestions?

    Retired credit card options - approval rate/banks

    I'm living off super and have done so for quite some time. In recent years I've applied for and received a few new points earning credit cards including an AMEX card late last year. No problems at all with instant approval. I just apply for what I need and is obvious will be easily paid in...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    I think nearly everyone decided on the bento box. A few interesting tasting items but it was good. Not a fan of the miso soup. The pork dumplings were fantastic. I'd have them again any time. Service throughout the flight would rival any airline. Very cheerful, helpful, efficient, and not...
