Exactly. Not to mention he is battered up and his wife is in intensive care. He has a bit on his on mind, the poor bloke.

Spend $340 for 2200 points. Hmm.

As you know, Singapore is damn hot and humid. Marina Bay is not far, but a 25 minute walk in that weather and you will arrive dripping. We walked around so much anyway, that taking a 1 or 2 stop train trip for minimal cost and less sweating didn't feel lazy. The Stamford was excellent. I...

I can't tell you about Bangkok, but for reference we just stayed in an Executive room at Accor's Swissotel Stamford in Singapore. It came with breakfast, nightly drinks and snacks. The snacks at drinks time were substantial and essentially dinner. It was a fair bit more than $100 extra a night...

Maybe, but I value points at 1 cent each anyway. This is based on domestic travel where Classic award flights are easy to come by. 8000 points plus $40 for a MEL to ADL or SYD trip that I can otherwise get for around $120. I don't travel enough to care about status credits so I will save $80...

Does the word "stampede" stem from a QF press release or us it true? If true it's okay with me. Let others use their points up on Classic Plus, especially when I have plans for trips

For room service it seems a good idea but I can't stand this in a Cafe or restaurant and I usually ask for a printed menu. Trying to read a menu on your phone (particularly a large menu), keying in credit card details etc is an absolute pain. Then they have the nerve to offer a suggested tip. A...

I use Coles No Annual Fee card. Gives a low Flybuys earn, but usually comes with a sign on bonus.

No plans for me

Well, good luck to _flyer. Pity I didn't get in first. Very nice of you.

Could you book a refundable fare, cancel down the track and get a refund and $129 travel credit?

Nearly 20 years ago my now wife and I were in southern Argentina in a small hotel on the ground floor (of 2 levels). We were awoken by a terrible racket. It turns out it was the national lottery draw. I don't if it was a replay because it was pretty early. It involved children singing out the...

Price rise. $27.10 less 20% (buy 2+) yesterday! Very happy. The cheapest gin they had at Lotte too.

Thus reminds me of an amusing scene in a movie, possibly Murder on the Orient Express (but searching is not coming to fruition), where this old lady refused to move to her seat because "I always sit next to the window".

I don’t consider myself that well travelled. Certainly not a frequent flyer. So a bit surprised I've been to 23.

But in the case of the OP they know it is just a common cold and don't want to risk being stranded. No way I would tick yes.

This VA rate might be an equivalent to P+P but you can see wildly different amounts that seem more like CR+. Eg I went MEL to OOL recently. 11k up via SYD, 14k back direct. Other flights in 20ks and 30ks.

Definition of public transport from Google: buses, trains, and other forms of transport that are available to the public, charge set fares, and run on fixed routes. Most public transport is privately owned or run now. That doesn't make them private transport.

The Skybus is a form of public transport, like it or not. Not exactly as nice as a train under a terminal building, but it is pretty fast to get between the city and airport so it is not so bad. Absolutely on the transfers. My last 2 international arrivals (both connecting to MEL) were in...

Conversely after my first overseas trip many years ago, needing to get from Sydney international to domestic to get home to Adelaide (which didn't have an international airport back then) it was cheaper for the 4 of us uni students to get a taxi rather than the airport bus. Said taxi driver...
