    Qantas staff skipping the line at the New UberX Rank at Sydney International

    And as stated upthread anyone can still order an specific Uber type on demand (or an uber reserve) for pick up from either stand B or the general ride share area. Uber are not limited to solely using the new pick-up areas, these are just an extra facility for those who want to avail themselves...

    Condescending much? How do other peoples chronic conditions have any bearing on whether or not I as an individual have either a desire or a need to use the My Gov My Health Record? It isnt a matter of not having empathy, it is simply completely irrelevant to my personal situation...

    Reconsider your need to travel areas

    Yes Amex is a good example, SCTI and Covermore are others, but each policy is different (and sometimes even different for different destinations with the same warning) so pays to read through all criteria before deciding where to go. Travel advice explained For example right now Israel has a...

    Way to twist was was said as you love to do, the only person forming invalid conclusions is you. I made no claim to expert knowledge just to what the usual experience is where I live with the quality practitioners I see; and a fact that if they refused to provide data about me for services I...

    Imuno compromised sure (applies to almost all vaccinations) which is why I used the word generally but your assertion above in #6468 that it is only valid for 10 years according to WHO was wrong. If AIR still has inaccurate guideline information for the general population over 8 years since...

    Article: Why is Dynamic Currency Conversion Even Legal?

    Unfortunately it wasn't Matt's card issuer asking the question, its the terminal provider. In raising the dispute, Matt's bank will likely need to request refund form the terminal provider; or waive their fee in an act of goodwill. Like I said earlier, the easier things would be able to have...

    Article: Why is Dynamic Currency Conversion Even Legal?

    Messaging on terminal in Auckland was the same 2 weekends ago, I selected NZD (instead of AUD) and then Reject Conversion and I was not hit with the DCC on that occasion. But i agree its misleading; and I would definitely lodge a complaint. But you need to treat the second question as an are...

    Nope they do not have all my medical history in once centralized place. You also incorrectly assume there is data about me that doesn't exist. You may take regular medication, but healthy people like me do not. It's been a decade since I've had to fill a prescription and then it was for "just...

    Flushots and Covid Vaccinations received at chemist and/or Covid Vaccination centre since 2020 all show up. The flu shot received at a medical centre last year is missing - if earlier vaccinations were uploaded without issue I think it was just laziness on behalf of the medical centre not to...

    Reconsider your need to travel areas

    If you take out a policy when the advice is "exercise a normal degree of caution" and then later before you depart the situation at your destination deteriorates and warning level changes you are often covered for the costs of cancellation or deferring travel due to government warnings...

    LAX vs SFO

    IME the longest waits to enter the USA have always been at LAX and I actively avoid flying into LAX on international flights. I've typically found DFW the quickest, followed by SFO, then JFK and then HNL. Back when Ansett was still around I was Star Alliance and usually flew UA to/from and...

    Qantas staff skipping the line at the New UberX Rank at Sydney International

    If the queue at the new pick-up zone where you take first available car (generally an UberX) is too long, you can still walk the extra 2 mins to the general ride share area and book an uber pick-up from there. After all that where all the XLs and premiums pick-up from.

    A decent dentist should be able to do a root themselves. Referrals generally only needed for things like surgical implants to replace a lost tooth. Root canal comes under major dental on health insurance so different limit to general dental, from memory my insurance covered about 80% of the...

    Lazy medical centres that don't send your vaccinations through to MyGov. Just popped into My Gov only to find last years FluVax which was administered at the medical centre at work was never updated to My Gov, so it inaccurately looks like havent had flushot since 2023. Also all my travel...
