Hmmm, looks interesting... S'pose i better chuck it on the to-do list... :)

Vacations to go do have little flags you can click on which will give you estimates in other countries currency, one of which is AUD, but then they don't seem to quote taxes like a lot of USA sites, and you get a bit of disappointment when you see it wasn't quite as cheap as you were thinking...

How come you'd be annoyed Cynicor?? I guess you're the the doc is the one ordering etc but it is the patients own results after all?? Its not like they could get someone else's sent to them.. I get regular blood tests done and i used to be able to ask the lady to put my name down to get a...

I have been stacking on too many kgs of late... Several months back i woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep (not a morning person usually) and so hopped up, got dressed and went to the gym and hopped on the tread mill for 20 minutes and did a few weights before work to add to the usual...

Interesting reading... Am considering taking a severance offer also but as I'm only 44 i guess i will need to to get another job sometime if i do as probably a bit early to pull up stumps.. :) I do mull over the option of all the stresses of trying to make ends meet down in Oz on limit...

So what are people going for, the QFF points of the Altitude? I've never really used Altitude before and while the 100k QFF points would put me well above the 280K QF points required for a OW J RTW redemption I'm wondering if people see some good transfer options with the Altitude points?

Is it also a case that certain jurisdictions don't allow fuel surcharges, or high fuel surcharges to be applied.... So Philippines and HKG are good locations to fly out of in this respect... Dom Y redemptions can be good value if you have left it late or popular times and its like double or...

You would think, just like when an AA customer enters a QF lounge that it gets charged back to AA, that if a customer flies QF but credits to AA that AA would require some payment from QF for those AA miles and so it should at least show up on the books if not down to the level of individual...

Ok, well i was planning to transit between Osaka and Beijing or Shanghai around that time using QF points so perhaps i might be able to make it 10 June... 9.20am CX from KIX gets in about 12.20 so not sure when the festivities are planned to commence (unless i flew in the night before) and...

I've flown them twice in Apartments, i thought the one in April or so this year the food was slightly less good thant he previous one, like a few ingredients seemed to have been repeated in several dishes (ie desserts)... Flying out of Melbourne the IFE also went out for about an hour and after...

Does flying Cathay Dragon out of Hong Kong still count as One World for lounge access? Even if you say fly Cathay Pacific into HKG?

Yes at only 1000 or SCs no need for me to lose sleep pondering what to do when i never hit Lifetime Gold... :) Maybe there is a drop off because most people hitting it are golden oldies and having reached their goal they stop travelling so much and put their zimmer frames away?? ;) I'm...

Never got to fly in the DC 10, the Lockheed L1011 or the DC1011... :( ;) Was looking the other day to see if any are still flying but i think i missed out permanently as didn't start my more regular frequent flying till a bit more recently (2008 or so)......

Singapore Airlines has just become a partner of Alaska Airlines, be interested to see this month what their redemption rates and what classes are available..

Of those the only place i haven't done solo is Hawaii and that's next Feb.. Ireland i just did Dublin and Japan i did Osaka on my own and Tokyo on my own for a few days then met up with friends... Paris have done several times on my own and a couple of time with others, enjoy both...

Just looked at flights in August/September and November that i had booked Perth to the USA on sale fare and i put in my AA Gold (One World Ruby equivalent to QF Silver) and looked like i could pick exit rows on the Oz legs to the eastern states and VV and could pick exit rows for no cost...

No real point to them, if you want to unburden yourself of them i can give you my account number cuz??? ;)

Was just looking the other day at driving from Broome to Perth down via Karajini/Coral Bay, never done much driving or travelling in the interior of WA, but alas i don't think i have enough holidays with all the rest of the leave i've either taken or thinking of taking this year... Perhaps next...

Hmmm, so its pretty much a fact that if you enter Chile through anywhere else than SCL you don't have to pay the reciprocity fee??? It would put me off a bit returning there, but if there was a way to avoid it i probably still have a few travel plans in Chile one day...

Yes welcome... Unfortunately the trend of late has been to have a lot of the loop holes and great deals being closed... But there are still some strategies out there that make this whole flying caper a lot more enjoyable and less costly than the general public understand or are willing to take...
