    15% bonus is back (between 1/02/2018 and 14/02/2018)

    Yes. You cannot transfer more than your limit. This is automatically done. It resets every calender year though

    What's your Uber experience?

    I don’t mean to be rude but if a Holden Calais, basically a commodore with leather rocked up. I would rate 4* but will write why so you know what the issue is. Caprice on the other hand, the legroom feels like being in Regional J. :)

    What's your Uber experience?

    $120-160 on X, 200-260 on Select and 180-240 on XL Most of the time with normal traffic the actual fare is closer to the lowest cost than the highest

    What's your Uber experience?

    Uber Select is the way to go. I logged on the Uber website to see what the requirements are and the drivers need to have a higher rating, more experience and a better car to be an Uber Select driver. Still cheaper than a taxi (not by much) but it weeds out all the Hyundai's/Mazda 2 type cars...

    VA to HKG from Jul 5 2017, ex MEL

    I would have thought they would be promoting more destinations in Asia. VA should have used HKG as a hub to join the destinations HX serves rather than marketing HKG as a destination (ie Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand... etc). It is hard when the VA flights arrive early evening...

    VA to HKG from Jul 5 2017, ex MEL

    For comparison sake, just roughly. How does HKG loads compare to VA first year flying into AUH or LAX (as v Australia). Maybe they just need to ride throgh a tough 18 months

    Lombok R&R.

    Can I ask what sort of transfers you got with $500AUD? Just curious as last time I paid $200 return inc private speedboat and private driver in a Toyota MPV. I didn't really want to spend an hour + in a small Toyota but couldn't find anything better.

    2017 - Best Domestic Lounge VA

    The premium exit is also closed on Weekends which can be frustrating. Also, no premium exit for T4 gates

    Singapore Car and Driver Hire

    I've done this before, YMMV. Book an Uber Black at the airport to your first destination. When the driver comes. Talk to him about what you want. Offer about 50-60SGD/hour + some tips for ERP. Good chance they will accept or know someone with the same class of car willing to do it. If you want...

    VA Passenger of Size treatment

    This happened so often I don't even blink anymore. POS or not, I don't think VA can discriminate. I can't count the number of times I have had a row to myself and get a pax on the aisle who has either upgraded themselves or friends/off duty staff who are upgraded after boarding. I'd be pretty...

    VA to HKG from Jul 5 2017, ex MEL

    I've done this route a few times now, always less filled than when I used to fly CX. Pretty good % of securing a whole centre row as WP. While I've been choosing VA just to show some support, my only hope is they do twice daily so I can have red-eyes in both directions. I hope VA is looking to...

    Qantas gets a poor review by Age editor

    I don’t think I’ve been on more than a dozen QF flights (all Y). I always get this feeling that every time I ask for something, it seems like I am asking them to go above and beyond or interrupting them. Ie. I know the call button is useless so I always prefer to walk to the back and ask for...

    Worse than feet on bulkheads

    I see this at least once a week in Mel and even more often when driving interstate. I can't even understand how that can be comfortable.
