even if you found the right answer, you would still have to comply with the next FA that asks you to put the laptop away early. But at least you can write some feedback to HQ.

Segments: 71 Miles: 96,304 New country: Nil New airlines: Lion Air, Wings Air New airports: LOP, CNX Shortest flight: DPS-LOP (147 Miles) Had a pretty smooth year in travelling, only minor things like Lion Air cancelling a flight and put me on a later one with a tight connection at DPS. 45 min...

I do feel for them, the same way I feel for anyone who has lost money in an investment. Any investment carries risk, even Government bonds or money in a term deposit with the big 4. Regulations in every industry change over time. Your family might have been led to believe it would be impossible...

Technically, it is Fastway that is stuffing Sendle around. Still Sendle's fault for partnering if someone unreliable but that's what happens when they want to advertise cheap rates. They were very keen on taking my business with AusPost. I asked them who the carrier is. Politely said it will be...

Uber would be ~$40. cheaper than Skybus

My best experiences in Vietnam has always been the Scooter tours. You really feel the life of the city with thousands of bikes around you as you cruise the streets. There is a really good one in Saigon but I haven't found any exceptionally good ones in Hanoi. The best one so far is Paloma bike...

I don't do enough domestic flying to be a WP with QF and VA at the same time. I therefore choose one and I stick to it (I mean really stick to it, 0 QF DOM flights in years). I view it more as a business contract, ie. if I gain X amount of SC's, I am entitled to these published benefits. That...

^You should be able to use the residents gate as they have passport scanners as well. I have seen people use Passports at the Residents gate with no issue (don't know what permit/visas they have though).

^if the gates are the same as the HK Resident gates. The fingerprint reader is right below the screen on the 2nd step. Funny thing is even though those egates are more than 10 years old in Hong Kong. They work so much quicker than Australian ones as 1 gate processes 2 passengers at the same...

No need. How about data breaches from a good percentage of companies you have your credit card and personal details stored with. I can think of Telstra, Optus, Qantas, Sony, eBay, Netflix just off the top of my head. If this is the first time that a data breach really concerns you, you have...

VA now allows hot beverages on planes. I've seen cafes in the VA terminal (MEL) advertising it. You just can't take it through security which means takeaway will not happen in MEL but it would be a nice addition.

I think you are right after reading this line again. Calculated this way 1000 base points + 2000 bonus points + 1000 WP bonus points = 4000 points. I had the impression no bonus points will be earned. Maybe I should start booking now.

How did you work it out? $200 = 1000 points x3 = 3k points on promo as a WP normally $200 = 1000 points x 2 = 2k points

I'd take DSC over triple points anyday as well if I had the choice (considering I already get double points as WP)

WP 1% got offer for Triple. My understanding on the T&C is we get triple on the base rates, not on the double points WP's get normally.

I would have been upset if I was not told in advance so I can prepare for it. A simple Email/SMS 3-5 hours before the flight would have been sufficient. It isn't the end of the world for LAX-AUS as the flight leaves after dinner and arrives early morning. I would have just bought some food with...

I wouldn't confront, 1. Because you don't know if that guy is in a proper mental state. 2. You risk getting kicked off the flight if you do confront and turns ugly.

wow, impressive. P1 on Dom. Is that in Y or J? I am guessing Y as you said no upgrades. If QF is like VA, I suspect that the "rewards" are based on spend, not sectors/miles.

That's frustrating. I've been looking to get out of CBA Diamond Amex but I don't think a single card issuer will give me the limit that CBA gives me. I hit that limit every month and the fee free intl spend (90% of the card) is a great bonus.

Why no CBA? I am fairly certain this is the first time I have not seen CBA included.
