    Hello from the US!

    If the trip from Sydney to Melbourne is over a couple of days then the Princes Highway (or part of it) is a great drive with some really beautiful towns to overnight in along the way. The weather is still good for swimming if you go down the coast. Otherwise the Hume highway is the safe and...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Yes congrats to qantas on the early notice. QF2165 is also seems to be slightly delayed going back to Sydney as a consequence of this I presume.In the last few weeks we've had a few crew rest related delays on the Sydney to Port Macquarie link (afternoons). They've actually put us on the bus to...

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Have done 3 hr visits to Auckland and Christchurch periodically, last time just a few weeks ago, and nobody bats an eyelid at either end. BTW the last time someone asked me why I was visiting was 2011 for the rwc and I suspect that was apparent...

    Tasmania - Tips and suggestions

    I know this is late to the thread. Heaps of great suggestions and i would not dispute any of them. A couple of options you might like to look at are the Tamar wetlands walk just outside Launceston. Its a real gem and only takes a couple of hours so can be done on the way back from some wine...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    If it helps. I am a consistent (weekly) shopper and the offers appear to be aimed at lifting our fortnightly shop by about 15-25%.

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    While the orange labels are underwhelming I've found the targeted offers with the new scheme pretty good. Had a two $45 ww dollar bonus offers in late Dec and early Jan. Now the 2 x 3,915 qff points. While my first impulse was to not scan the card anymore I've actually been pleasantly surprised.

    Qantas Call Centre

    I call a few of times a year. Never had to wait. 2 calls this month it was 1 hour and 15 minutes. Both times call back worked fine. Never realised that call back put you at the front of the queue rather than connecting directly. Both times agent sounded pretty busy but were helpful.

    Why are Regional Airline Flights so dear?

    I agree about the inconsistency but my argument is that occurs in all markets (flights). I am a port resident and fly from here around 40 times a year, mostly business. I do have the benefit of being able to book many of the flights 6-9 months out. My experience with virgin is that there is...

    Why are Regional Airline Flights so dear?

    As others have said supply and demand. Have you seen the price of airfares in and out of Melbourne this coming weekend. Flights to and from Port Macquarie can be quite expensive but are regularly discounted. Qantas discounts to $79 quite frequently on all but the early flight. If you buy more...

    Oz Federal Election 2013 - Discussion and Comments

    Sattler may well be guilty of poor judgement but... Go as hard as you like on the policy. The bullying and abuse of individuals of any political flavour that masquerades as comment in the last few years is a very poor reflection on all of us. I think it escalated during the Howard years and has...

    public transport, paying for the privledge of paying in cashless cities.

    I find the myki cards pretty convenient. They are certainly a no stress travel issue. For the operator I would imagine they are a great source of low or no interest business capital.

    Aboriginal men sue Qantas over flight

    Sorry been out fishing, bit difficult to type. The topic is on someone being removed from a plane at least partially for alleged abuse. In your reply you are quite happy to use abusive language. Surely differences of opinion (political or otherwise) do not require this.
