    PJs before or after meal?

    Would never get changed before take off (for the same reason I’d never wear anything other than enclosed shoes). Imagine sliding down the escape slide and being caught on camera in slippers and big kangaroo PJs. Who do you think will end up on the cover of the telegraph?

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    Lodge an AFCA complaint. It’ll get to somebody at HSBC with half a brain. Well, a quarter maybe. But that could be enough.

    Credit Card Offers Citi Prestige Bonus Point Offers & Discussion

    From memory, there wasn’t a way to tell how many points were awarded per transaction? How is this being verified?

    If only there was a reliable airline operating between Singapore and Sydney….. oh wait.

    Passport Renewal / Application - Time Taken?

    I’m going to be stuck renewing between trips. Get back Sunday night and leave Thursday morning. Has anyone used the priority service recently and picked the passport up from the office? (It’s near central in Sydney). Guessing I can lodge the application at a “rapid” post office Monday morning...

    Troubles in Noumea

    Thanks for sharing. I was there a week before and hadn’t even put any thought into such drama before the spontaneous visit! There was a fairly large protest happening which I never expected to escalate to such a level To be honest, given the number of Palestinian flags being waived, I...

    Citibank Luxury Transfer Service

    Probably an improvement. They were absolutely hopeless when it came to booking the Hughes transfer

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    I’ve got a saver award booking that I’m going to end up cancelling by as I managed to work a OWA. Does SQ consider destination changes as a “change”, or will I have to cancel and rebook once the points are deposited? Need to change destination from CMN to CAI (will be the same SQ sectors...

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    Ah right, that might do it. Mine was a PIA to change as well but I was forced because of solar panels.

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    Hmm. Odd. Mine came up with a calendar to swap it to another day. Have you got a smart meter? They do have a live chat function

    A plane load of free Virgin Voyagers [Subsequent Issues due to Cancellation of Australian Voyages]

    Yes, but… commercial and safety do go hand in hand. Airlines routinely cancel routes due to safety concerns which are also of a commercial nature.

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    Oops, sorry. It’s “account” then “settings” and then you’ll see it.

    You can change it in the app. Just select billing and change your billing date. I’ve switched mine to tomorrow so we’ll see…

    A plane load of free Virgin Voyagers [Subsequent Issues due to Cancellation of Australian Voyages]

    They did. And it was a pretty miserable cruise from what I saw. 6 days straight from Perth to Port Louis. Quick stops at Durban, Cape Town and walvis bay then a long haul up to Europe. Virgin didn’t even sell seats on it themselves and just used it to reposition (with a small number of rebooked...

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    Also received after about 30 days. Interesting that the agent I spoke to suggested not changing plans until a bill is issued as the $200 credit may not be applied if i do.

    SQ321 LHR-SIN Encountered Severe Turbulence [At least 1 Fatality and 30 Injured]

    I’ve read “dropped 6000’” in 3 minutes or 7 minutes, depending on the article. Both are fairly shallow descents. 7 minutes on the side of “very shallow”. Neither are drops. Likely a result of the crew slowly descending to find a smoother altitude. “Drops” associated with turbulence aren’t a...

    VISA Waiver Program to USA

    On the ESTA application? I don’t think it matters really as you can use it multiple times. Last time I went over the immigration guy simply asked the purpose of my visit and I said “training course”. The ESTA was a good year old at this point and I’d already entered a few times.

    Seems im having married segment issues with QF-QF which I haven’t seen before. BLR-SYD is available and SYD-ADL also is, but it can’t be booked as BLR-SYD-ADL.
