I've got 2 QF Club Invitations that expire on 19 May 18 and I'd like someone to get some use out of them. These are standard invitations so can only be used at Qantas Club lounges, not domestic J lounges, or Qantas-operated International Business Lounges. These are electronic invitations so to...

It's been on BBC World News so I imagine it will get picked up. Such a terrible incident.

Just wanting to see if anyone has tried the Antler Atom, which is supposed to be their version of the Samsonite Cosmolite. I'm looking for a new mid/large hardcase and while the exterior appearance of the Atom is a little, ahem, eyecatching it is a bit cheaper than the Cosmolite. I've also seen...

urbancowboy, that's a shame. Maybe try AllClear? Apparently they will cover all pre-existing conditions - for a price.

I use the Kathmandu Tanker Cargo bags on trips where I expect to shop a bit - Tanker Cargo at Kathmandu. I've got the 60L and the 90L and they come with a little storage bag and weigh practically nothing (until they're chockers and you've got to lug them to the check in because they have no...

OP, I can personally recommend Cover-More for covering pre-existing conditions (particularly heart related). I travel a lot with my father (age 77) who has a number of pre-existing medical conditions and I've found Cover-More to be willing to cover conditions other insurer's will not, such as...

Pretty sure the other one is Delaware. I find on the whole that the US is great for shopping, at least the things that I tend to buy most when o/s: clothing, accessories (usually handbags, sometimes jewellery), and cosmetics. Shoes can be a bit hit and miss on the value front though, unless you...

I waited in line at Fergburger for almost half and hour and waited another half hour or so for my burger when I went boarding in July. Worth every goddam_ minute of waiting Their hot alcoholic drinks help ease the strain of waiting Don't know that I'd line up for INO - I've eaten a few in my...

I hear ya, bsb! Cuba was on the list for this year but given the US-Cuba commercial flights will likely recommence in the next few months I'm not so sure... I only have one trip planned for this year - San Diego in three weeks. I've had to leave the rest of the year disturbingly empty as I...

Re: 2015 in review No work travel for me in 2015 (or the past few years really) but here's hoping that will change next year... along with my job :cool: I managed to rack up 25 segments and 41,675 miles this year across three overseas trips and four return domestic trips. And, thanks to a...

Thanks for all the feedback! Glad to know it should be a fairly straightforward process... *fingers crossed*

I am flying into LAX on QF11 and then on to SAN with AA about four hours later. I purchased the tickets separately because it was a lot cheaper than booking through with Qantas and needed some flexibility on the return leg to LAX. My understanding is that, theoretically, under the OneWorld...

I did something similar a few years back. Flew into Olbia (Sardinia) from Gatwick and took the bus from the airport to Santa Teresa di Gallura, which is the northernmost tip of Sardinia. Spent a few days in the area then took the ferry across to Bonafacio (Corsica). While we ended up heading...

Thanks eric2011! I figured that would be the logical option but didn't want to assume

I tried to find this info on Qantas website but with no luck. Can anyone tell me which date Qantas uses when applying status credits? Is it the date the flight commences? I'm looking at flying to the US around my anniversary date and will be returning on a flight which leaves the US on the 31st...

Re-reading To Kill a Mockingbird in anticipation of the release of the sequel next week, Go Set A Watchman. First non-uni/non-work book I've read in months. So sad.

It does seem a bit strange. Guess we can thank early Easter and the Cricket World Cup for that one. While I don't much care for NRL (aside from a long-standing soft spot for the Bunnies), I don't understand why you would put the two biggest footy games of the year on the same weekend.

I'm just glad I got in a booked accom as soon as I found out the GF was definitely the October long weekend! Managed to get two cancellable rooms at the Doubletree on Flinders (old Citigate) for three nights for under $600/room. Got stung last year by booking during finals... the Swans...
