    Article: Public Servants Spent $1 Million More on Flights During Double Qantas Status Credits

    Anyone else had an overseas speeding fine arrive in the mail?

    A few years ago I got a fine for a road toll in Portugal that I had not paid 2 years earlier....fortunately I had a photo of the car rego so knew it was "our" car. Whilst tempted not to pay, I could pay online and thought I better pay as I was planning to rent a car in Portugal again ;)

    Am flying QR Adl-Mel-Doh in 11 days time. As a Qf Plat, I assume I can duck into the Business lounge to have a look before I clear Immigration and International security?

    New Qantas International Route from Adelaide to Auckland
