That looks so good. Nostalgia++. If I was able to choose my holiday dates I would be choosing these. Sadly I have no choice as to when I take holidays, being a teacher.

A further update...the return journey... At QANTAS freight in BNE the staff member looked at the crate which was the original one and said, "next time he flies he will need the next size up, it is the same height and width, just longer." The remote WA vet had emailed through to my son a letter...

Lobetravellingoz you are a champion. With your information and rereading the initial brochure it makes much more sense. Thank you!

Sometimes it doesn't take much to confuse me......In a personalized QFF mailout, the brochures states AmEx annual fee is $450 and the MasterCard is $395. To get the 100 000 points, with AmEx spend of $1 500 within 3 months and with the MasterCard, $5 000 within 90 days. I wish I had a WBC email...

Thanks for the replies. Even though they both have different annual fees, I only get charged one of them? And if I reach the minimum spend on each of them in the stated time period I will get 2 x 100 000 QFF points?

Hi, i applied for an Altitude Black MasterCard and received it and, unexpectedly, a black AmEx. This was in response to a QF 100 000 points offer. I went into the Westpac branch to query this. The staff member told me the AmEx was a companion card and no annual fee was payable for it. This...

Thank you for this, Cossie. I was in Kashmir and Ladakh in May-June, 1984. Two day bus trip from Srinagar to Leh. The flight back was so much more pleasant. Arrived back to find Srinagar under military control due to the Golden Temple hostage taking/attack. Thanks for reviving my great memories.

An update... QANTAS Freight has responded to my son. Their reply included some standard cut and paste segments but also addressed personally some of the issues raised. They have acknowledged some poor handling of the situation at both the originating port and Perth. They have offered a refund of...

Hi, I have been catching up on past episodes of the ABC program, The Code. I googled the aircraft (Cessna 404) registration used in the series VH-TFU. It also came up as a Metro 23, the actual aircraft involved in the Lockhart River fatal impact into terrain. Does this mean they reuse...

Hi all, Just wondering what the considered opinion of so many wise ones would be as to which offer to take up. Amex have the lower spend but more limited acceptance around the place. Westpac more readily accepted, especially for your typical everyday type of family. Annual fees are pretty...

Hi, Interested in your opinions.... My adult son lodged his dog with QF as an accompanied pet at a country W.A. port via PER to BNE. The crate used was the size suggested by the vet and the dog was familiar and comfortable with it. Whilst in transit in PER, my son got summoned (to the freight...

Ahh, I must have misread the flight status...I thought it was scheduled AKL-SYD but had operated AKL-BNE.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any understanding of what is happening with this flight? It appears to be scheduled AKL-SYD but has flown AKL to be near BNE, the EK website says it was diverted in-flight and now it seems to be flying back to Sydney for a later departure to BNE and then DBX.

John, in January my family and I did a Celebrity cruise SIN-SIN for about 14 days. Called into Bali, Komodo Island, coughet and two Malaysian ports. We were sheltered by land pretty much most of the cruise so very smooth. Worth considering.

Re: Who on AFF are the cruise gurus and what are your preferred cruise lines and ship Definite thumbs up for HAL and the Volendam. Did a 17 day cruise around NZ and across to Sydney and Melbourne 8 years ago. Our family fell in love with cruising, the ship and the crew. It was their first...

Hi all, Took out the Australia Post travel insurance predominantly for the rental car excess cover while stopping over in Perth enroute from Brisbane to Paraburdoo. The email reply to my query was just a cut and paste from their terms and conditions. The travel insurance terms and conditions...

Hi, Recently flew BNE-PER return with the forward journey via MEL. I was under the impression that the 737 had less legroom, especially critical on coast to coast flights. Hence going via MEL (737 and then transfer to A330). It actually seems that the 737 had more legroom. Would others agree...

It will be in Y.

Hi, Just checking ... I know VA state they don't provide gluten free meals but GF snacks are available for purchase. Looking at the menu the only identified GF item is a cookie. Do they carry GF meals/other things and just don't make it well-known?

Have made the bookings.... BNE-MEL 737-800 MEL-PER A330 PER-BNE A330 all on VA PER-PBO. QF 717 PBO-PER VA F100
