It's a sad fact on the privilege card as I've forked over the $120 or so and never got full advantage of the 1/2 price meals on offer :cry: . In fact the only time I ever had a win is when I had a friend use half of it for half the cost. The card is fully transferable. With that said, the...

There is only one reason that I would change money at the hotel desk and that is to set the exchange rate for my expense report :D Other than that the exchange rate they offer is obscene in the extreme. :evil:

I use the SONY n/c headphones but they tend to amplify the frequency that normal conversation is conducted at. I end up cancelling the a/c noise but picking up everyone talking through the cabin. I'm sure it's a safety feature but damn annoying if you've got some loudmouth talking all night on a...

Just received the following targeted promotion... Book a Sheraton Resort getaway before May 2, 2004 and you’ll receive a $50 Resort Credit and daily complimentary breakfast for up to 2 children when you book online and stay a minimum of 2 nights. Simply make your reservation online before...

Mind you, it's cheaper than diamond rings, flowers, chocolates. You might call me cheap, but the other half really looks forward to ff paid holidays. :D

Only as a guest of the afore mentioned CEO's, Chairman, PWLOM (people with lots of money), movie stars, etc. :(

The FA on my flight across the pacific pond said they've always checked for and cleared large gatherings at the bathrooms and this edict just increases their workload. Although I was travelling in J I've heard say that there is less gatherings like this since QF installed the latest IFE. I don't...

Every now and then you get some strange people sitting next to you on a flight. Now I don't claim to be perfect & I don't mind if someone writes about my foibles but on my latest trip MEL-LAX I had one of those experiences that moves you to write it up. I was on the upper deck seat 14B...

Here's a tip for the unwary... I was browsing through the sites that other users had been to (as one does) while waiting for my delayed flight out of ORD. I found one that I thought looked interesting and it happened to be the personal Outlook Express email account for some Sales turkey with...

I'm in transit awaiting a delayed flight out of ORD. I just love the Flagship lounge out on the K finger. The QF captain for MEL-LAX stated the congregation rule and the LAX-ORD flight captain stated it also. Except the AA capt talked for so long they had practically finished serving drinks by...

I'm in the FC lounge now with one more hour to go typing as fast as I can with mostly one hand :) I'm armed to the teeth with all the xrays and doctors letters, anti inflammitory's, etc. (however, I probably shouldn't use the expression "armed to the teeth") :wink:

Well you might ring them to find out. They don't have to know who is calling. On the other hand you can claim her as a first cousin or something. QF will accept either your address or another address to send the tickets to and the booking will appear against your internet booking where your ff...

One day to go and thanks for all the great tips. I'm changing the cast from plaster to fibreglass today for the comfort and waterproofing aspect. (Not plastered anymore :!: ) Bringing the x-ray is a good idea and I'll be getting the dr. to write as much expanatory notes as possible. Where I'm...

G'day Bill, That last one didn't work for my entry. Like Flyertalk it might be down temporarily so I'll try again later. Thanks.

Re: cba blows The going rate is a cent/point = $340 so I agree that $250 for 34k points is a good deal for the points recipient.

Cloe2004, at the risk of being cynical you don't work for Ray Martin or Diners Club by any chance? However on an informational note, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to do your own browse/leg work on this request. Go to all the bank sites and make up a spreadsheet to do the comparisons...

Having just fractured my wrist in bicycling accident :cry: , I still intend to complete a three week stint in the US for business training. I leave in 9 days and the swelling will have gone down by the time I leave but has anyone got any tips for me in relation to travelling with an arm cast...

How 'bout this one... A QF staff member friend got stopped when going through the xray at MEL to go back to SYD with a fork in his carry-on. It made it through the xray coming down. What's even crazier is that we all know that J uses metal forks with meals. It doesn't figure :?

Lindsay, Outstanding :D I'm sure the link has been posted before but as I'm going to the US next week for 3 weeks allowed a check using the hotlink. Thanks. It's now saved to my favourites.

I remember being nice, but the woman in this case had me singled out from the start. QF lost a full fare in this case and it's not often you have that sort of power at that stage of the flight. Secondly, being a bad experience I remember it very well and will do everything in my power never to...
