Wow I am jealous! We went to Svalbard in February and the only stamp we received was one in Tromso. As much as we love Tromso we would have loved a Svalbard stamp!

Travel Passes were fine except you couldn’t use them to book on line. I had to ring the call centre to ask that they send me an email with a number on it. Three times I was told the email would come within 24 hours and three times it didn’t arrive. The fourth time I insisted that they send me...

No I didn’t. Interesting because for a number of reasons the frequency of my shops at WW has dropped markedly this year. However I am still getting the very poor offers I was receiving last year e.g Spend $150 for a 1000 points.

As a follow on to Captain Halliday, we had a similar experience when arriving at LAX in early January this year. We were called up to the immigration officer who saw our Australian passports. He said ‘welcome back, we have missed you’! He then asked where his Tim Tams were. Wasn’t quite as...

Rydges is a 2 minute walk.

Kayak is also worth a look.

Thanks Matt, another very interesting episode. Although I only ever try to book one or two tickets, I picked up some good suggestions from Peter.

We were in London last month. We’re feeling a little seedy so we did RATs that came back positive. Had to have PCRs for our insurance and they came back negative. Repeated both tests the next day, including a ‘fit to fly’ with the same results i.e. positive RATs and negative PCRs. Tested...

Thanks Gusty, I started to get a little concerned.

Well i finally solved the problem. I started at 0830 and my problem was finalised at 1430! Many thanks to AFF for the above numbers. I had no luck with the NZ/Hobart number and hung up after an hour. I solved the problem with the SA/Fiji number but it took six calls. Most of the operators...

Of course despite the promises made to me yesterday nothing happened and I did not receive my promised email. However I am trying to use an almost $2000 credit so I am determined! 1. 131313 told it would be a two hour wait. 2. Held on to the NZ /Hobart number above for 30 mins but no luck...

Thanks for that number. I got through in 5 minutes and had someone who seemed to know what she was talking about although time will tell.

I love Finnair and you get a chance to go to Helsinki! Unsure when you are flying but Finnair have just announced that the Hel to Tokyo flights are going over the North Pole. If the flight was a day flight that would be wonderful!

We flew it in January. I am afraid that I went straight to sleep because it left closer to midnigh but believe that the normal sized meal was served. However, as the business class lounge was closed and we had to go to the first class lounge before take off, we had had a good dinner before we...

But, hopefully, they will be by the end if the year.

We were on the HEL to SIN flight this Monday and this is the route we took. Did mean that we missed out on the long awaited Laksa in the Qf SIN lounge. The Finnair non-schengen flights seem to have taken a real battering with the HEL non schengen part of the terminal virtually closed, and not...

If you are coming from Canberra catching a Murray’s coach would solve all your problems…if the late night departures are still running. The midnight service would get you to SYD in good time. That said we have recently had a reasonably early start and stayed at the Rydges which worked well...

Interesting as I also got the spend $115 per week x4 for 10,000 points! I am currently overseas and haven’t been near a WW or BWS store since about 5/1. As someone who often spends considerable sums at these stores I was hoping that they might start offering me some really good offers. Not...

Oh dear. We are hoping to go in about three weeks. Is there anything you could suggest we do?

I will check out McDonalds sign! Montrose is the gateway to Telluride and Crested Butte ski resorts.
