    Emirates wifi

    this is really annoying - and Qantas/Emirates should fix this up. Clearly if you are a QFF you are more than likely to have in your booking your Qantas number (especially if QF codeshare), even if your are also skywards member. Even flying J or F, you cannot access wifi with the QFF number in...

    In Vic, you can 'stack' the 4c WW discount with RACV 5c discount at EG stations, and get the everyday reward points. Similarly at Shell, you can 'stack' the AFL 4c with Coles 4c and get flybuys points also. Just a bit annoying flipping through different apps...
