I sorta grudgingly admit that this makes sense. Why should a miserable $49 flight to Ballina earn more than 2 SCs, and it's a decent earn if you are crazy enough to fork out for a Flex fare.

The only thing they are really good at is PR - getting soft coverage in the media ("Qantas launches insane sale", "Qantas has slashed the cost of its flights...") and on sites like Executive Traveller.

The fact that you keep replying and disagreeing multiple times to multiple comments tells me you have not Zenned out at all.

Nah. A220 is Bombardier CS series. E190 is Embraer.

I wish I had...

Yes, disturbing is the word. And yes also lots of nice places to see in Nanjing.

Disagree. The types of people doing the wrong thing won't read media releases and airlines policies. Cabin crew are NOT escalating if they tell the pax on board that if they don't comply with the instruction they will be banned from future flights. That is literally de-escalating, and has the...

Yes, I've done both of those before, usually works but not always. Joining their video calls is quite good, you can chat with some interesting people!

For a day trip, I would also suggest Nanjing/Nanking. Not "nice" as such but a visit to the massacre museum provides an opportunity for reflection.

No, not travelling long haul Y in a 777 with 3-4-3.

Answer: It depends. Best backpack for me, being HLO and aiming for 8kg, is Kathmandu Litehaul 38L. Good quality, good size, light, enough pockets, good laptop protection, good straps.

My comment would be that if you are pushing towards 12-14kg with HLO then don't do it. HLO is great when it is about 7-8kg, so carrying a backpack in/out of metro stations, trains, buses, cars etc is manageable and definitely the way to travel (we do this all the time). But if it is 14kg, then...

Exactly. They are returning home from work, and so am I (specifically a work trip). Priority security and passport control is different as they need to get to their plane by a certain time to go through all the preparations for the flight. Put a sign up so I can decide to go to Didi instead.

Same boat. It's the SQ flights (mainly Y) which have me requalifying as VA WP each year, and I need that status in order to make flying int Y bearable. As a consequence, I also choose to fly VA domestically where possible. So it's self-defeating.

On the search page of the DB website, there is an option "Transfer time" on the third line of the search bars. Here you can change from "Normal" to a longer time of your choice.

Have a read of Passiveinvestingaustralia. That has some very useful discussion and explanation of all these issues including recontribution strategy.

Exactly. The investment horizon is still about 20 to 30 years! 1741565634 We are up about 15% FYTD before the last week, so a 2% correction is not even a blip.

I would have earned/retained WP on the basis of the new rules in only one year out of the last 10, I reckon. Lots of SQ flights have kept me ticking over, not many VA flights. So highly likely to drop status next year. I am still likely to fly VA domestic as the only alternatives are QF and...

He means that you probably would have dropped status anyway, despite your HA flights, because of the requirement for at least 50% of status credits to be earned by you on VA metal.

Could you please explain how this is different/better than just using my Australian mobile number with wifi calling to receive calls when I am o/s (and connected to my hotel wifi, for example). Thanks.
