    JETSTAR - Never Ever Again !!

    Mmm maybe this is naive of me but I think this type of issue happens with travelling its the nature of the beast if you fork over a good amount of $ you reduce the likelihood of it happening/impact when it does but at the end of the day problems are still going to happen Don't get me...

    Qantas American Express Premium Card - month of Qantas points lost if cancelled?

    Pretty sure you wold know this but did you know CC will usually charge a foreign currency conversion fee of 2-3%. Also the rate they use for conversion is pretty low I am a huge fan of the Wizard Clear Advantage card I suspect their customer service is comparable with Citibank (ie cough) -...

    Call for airlines to charge passenger 'fat tax'

    You actually have to be quite large not fit in a seat In excess of 135 kilos from my own experiences The easiest answer is to allocate an aisle seat to bigger people Much more comfortable as they have more room in one direction, although they would need to shift slighty to let the cart...

    Planning for a Round the World Trip

    Actually the freighters not a bad idea - never even though about that the one we are looking at is the P&O Oriana in October from the States and even then we would be breaking the piggy bank, and I doubt it would ever recover :shock: There does not seem to be many places selling P&O...

    Koru Lounge Single Visit AKL

    I saw your other thread. I Checked Priority Pass and the other paid lounge sites - no luck (mind you I am not an expert). I hope you have more luck than me though. I asked BA for arrival lounge access via email - and they did not even respond - not even to say no! Maybe its worth checking...

    Qantas American Express Premium Card - month of Qantas points lost if cancelled?

    Call the cards section and tell them you are considering cancelling It will help if you have a viable alternative, so they know you have done your research. They should waive the fee. I had an Earth card I was ready to cancel, and they waived the fee. It was much simpler than making other...

    Reasonable travel expenses...

    I can only comment on Tasmania, these rates come from the Public Sector Award system which is basically what the unions vs the Tas Govt have bargained out. Should be similar in other states

    Reasonable travel expenses...

    Why don't you just use the Public Sector Allowances in your state as a minimum Heres the Tasmanian ones for instance: Adelaide $157.00 Brisbane $201.00 Canberra $145.00 Darwin $159.00 Melbourne $173.00 Perth $164.00 Sydney $183.00 Tasmania $117.00 Breakfast $22.30...

    Qantas prices

    Thanks for all the info - thats great :) I was keen on qantas mostly for the chance to use points to upgrade to business. I was just a tad bemused that it can be cheaper to book a 2 way fare. Seems odd to me. But anyway, I did notice the Air NZ flights, and they look good, the other...

    Qantas prices

    How about that a one way price from LA to Brisbane is more than a return ticket?? At least for economy anyway. I think I will be flying on V Australia instead, if I had a choice it would be Qantas
