Fly another airline?

LOL, the best thing about being a QFF member is flying other airlines.

Yes, same with us, we always plan ahead and select our seats, and don't care if we are seated together. Except in our case, it is aisle seats in Y! And I would never give up my aisle seat for a non-aisle seat to help out a couple who did not plan ahead.

Yes, received 12 mth fee waiver text message 30 minutes ago. So will be keeping it for now. They must be losing massive numbers - the guy at Bendigo Bank said they have been receiving 20,000 applications per day for Bendigo Ready card. He instantly knew what I was in there for!

So, to summarise, just about the only option is the Bankwest Platinum Zero that meets these criteria: - no annual fee - no minimum spend requirement - must be a credit card not debit card - no foreign transaction fees - official MC or Visa exchange rates Is this correct? Thanks.

Yeah, I flew SYD-TPE-NRT vv in J in 2022 and thought their catering was excellent, multiple courses of elegant, tasty food. Also the Kavalan whiskey was very very nice.

When you get into town in the morning, go straight to Yong Le Market for great sushi (from 9am).

If you are there for 36 hours, then definitely stay in town, many nice hotels near Taipei main station, easy transfer from the airport on the fast train. Lots to see: wet markets, night markets, the National Palace Museum (amazing), maritime museum, Taipei 101, Taipei Zoo and gondola, CKS...

Yes, it is amazing value and very comfortable.

Pineapple Lumps.

Even better sense for the status credits and sector count. Thinking of doing this once before it ends.

But why? If they are NH planes, uniforms, catering, service etc, is the difference just so that they can pay the crew less?

To be fair, policing the forward toilet is a tough gig for FAs on these planes without the divider and rope. It only takes a couple of seconds for a Y pax to nip up there while the FA is in the galley preparing food or drink. VA really needs to pull its finger out on the divider and rope in the...

Well, I am almost always HLO, so not really. But the fact is that it is not reliable, so still of questionable value.

If you know what Jetstar is like, why do you keep flying them?

Priority check-in - massive value on international flights. Priority boarding - very high value on narrow-body flights (locker space). Priority baggage - no value.

What was the Coles MC recent clanger?

Exactly. Now we have the paper card plus another paper slip from the machines, for which we have to queue up, then then queue up again to get through the gate, then queue up again to get through customs. I avoid like the plague any flight arriving at SYDi before 8:30am.

Same error for me currently.
