Dajop, That' a pretty good point you make about the aisle preference forcing you back down to the rear of the a/c. At 6' 3" I hate being crammed into a window seat & only don't mind it if I'm sleepy and can fall against the window instead of into the aisle. The point made about all the empty...

netaddict, I suppose you can call it a positive experience when Citibank offer you a $10,000 increase in your credit limit. I wouldn't normally accept that type of offer but I use the CB Plat all the time when travelling and it's nice to know I've got all that mega reserve in place. It's a...

peggysue445, I've been frequently waitlisted and had the upgrade come through all except once in the last 6 years of INT travel of 3-4 times per year. :) With that said, I've been a PLAT for most of that time and as a bronze I guess there is always a chance but probably on the snowball in...

I just realised (before I could stop the post) that the story said 'voided' not 'avoided'. Just ignore my ramblings...

Ron, at what point did you realise you were out 115k points? That's a huge number to all of a sudden discover you're missing. Unless it's the way the journo's wrote up the story. :?

Mmm, yes I did eventually see the fourth post but after editing two of my other posts I just accepted that it was everywhere. :?

D&M, enough already! Welcome to the board but three posts on the same subject with the same content means I got the message. :roll: Cheers

Many, many moons ago I worked out at Parafield but stayed with some people in Eden Hills. By public transport it took a long time but sometimes I'd catch a lift with the owner of the airline and fly to/from ADL-Parafield. Oh the luxury of it all. :) I know this is off post but it reminded me...

Kiwifruit, Aha :!: Getting the posts up by posting three times in a row. How did that happen? The submit button must've bounced. :?

... I'm much the same and the iterations thereof that I can remember for myself : - 717 727 737 (2, 3, 4, 7, 8 ) 747 (SP, 2, 3, 4, 4ER - 1st commercial flight in the world with QF & all they gave me was a commemorative luggage tag - :oops: ) 757 767 777 DC3 DC9 DC10 MD80...

See if you can get an invite to a Trendwest seminar. That is definitely timeshare with a difference. Unfortunately I'm building a house now but I'll give them a go again in a couple of years.

jlou, I assume you're talking INT QC. If so it's on your right just before you trundle down the little slope towards the gates after the x-rays/customs gates. It's a little avenue/passageway that has the toilets and phones on the left, a chapel and some obscure room called the Compass Club also...

Toetoes, Never done it myself but judging by some of the other posts I've read here and at Flyertalk, I don't think you're crazy. Mind you, because I'm fairly tall at 194cm it's not something I would find comfortable. Thankfully my job takes me to Plat every year so I'm not pushed to do the...

arun, welcome to the unlimited reward and $250 (annual fee) per year club :D I have just run through some alternates on the Infochoice website and the Citibank Visa Platinum gives me the best choices and flexibility. Although AMEX has a 'spend $9500 p/a and waive annual fee' standard, Citibank...

Tag4, you're getting a bit sensitive here. I would've thought with all the travelling you're doing with your sport and the subsequent security checks, sensitivity would be all but dulled out of the system. Seriously though, I'd appreciate taking a breath while I'm reading and comma after...

So Lindsay, did you get the Plat exclusive leather bag or the fabric version?

I suppose a ride on a B707 with JT for $500 would be close to the discount economy seats paid for MEL-SYD-MEL trip anyway. Put in that context, it's cheap. :?

Did anyone else receive this invitation from QF to pay $500 measly dollars to have dinner with John Travolta? Dear Mr xx_xx_, Qantas Ambassador John Travolta will be visiting Australia in early May and has just agreed to join us for a black tie fundraising dinner to be held as part of...

As a very frequent user of the Starwood chain I'm not looking forward to the upcoming change of management for the Auckland Sheraton touted for Jan 2005. :( Where am I to stay in AKL for Starwood points? Looks like I'll have to give the Hyatt a go. Can't be too bad I s'pose.
