Thinking about it as I am still at a beginner level, struggling to step up to intermediate. Have had some lessons with ski instructors, very mixed bag. Some instructors good and another was terrible. A friend of mine who is advanced and recently did a ski instructor course thought there was...

I am considering getting the CARV device/app to improve my skiing and wondering if any forum members have used and if so, thoughts and feedback?

Caveat of this is not tax advice but general in nature - Maybe if you are gifting cash but if you are still alive and gifting a non-fungible asset, eg shares or real property, it would usually be subject to taxation as if the gift had been sold to a third party at market value. There are special...

It's definitely possible. You may not be able to book as all one ticket however.

I have done three separate status credit runs from MEL to AKL and back all in one day. Two were on a single ticket, one was on two separate tickets. I have never cleared customs, always gone through the international transit area. I've also always had all my boarding passes for the whole day. It...

I second this and did the same last month on a status credit run MEL-BNE-AKL-SYD-MEL (all same day)

Classic travel if you already deal with them. Their online portal is good to check pricing and benefits. There are also Virtuoso agents who operate in Australia.

Those profiteroles look great - I hope they are still on the summer menu when I visit but I don't like my chances

Yes it was. A QR flight i took around 10 years ago. IIRC, more passengers got on but nobody got off.

W hotels are 'generally' part of the Marriott Luminous program. However, hotels can opt out if they choose. The usual websites I use to search Virtuoso and related programs pricing aren't showing up W Sydney as being part of Luminous (or Virtuoso). I'm not sure if it's because W Sydney hasn't...

Landed in BJM (Bujumbura, Burundi) on the way from JNB to DOH. Didn't get off the plane though (everyone had to stay on).

We went to Schloss Elmau in 2017. It isn't adults only but there are adults only areas of the resort. 90 minutes from Munich airport by car. I loved it and will definitely go back at some point. https://www.schloss-elmau.de/en/

Very interested to read about your Japan ski experience.

Whenever I have previously travelled Jetstar Business Max from Bali back to Australia, I have always needed to check in at the counter and you are given a lounge pass there - it is separate to your boarding pass. <worth noting this is pre COVID experience>

It's always the beef fillet for MasterC! 🥩

Are you sure that their ages were not included in the booking, as this would be quite unusual. If they are flying J reward, it should be possible to choose meals for them via the Singapore Airlines portal using 'Book the cook'. There is an option to choose between specific meals for children...

Agree, was in there yesterday. A sad excuse for a 'first' lounge.

Both the salads were greek-ish(?) and quite nice. Better than a bowl of bitter green leaves (in my opinion anyway).

A few meals from my recent status credit run Breakfast - flying MEL-BNE - omelette and chicken sausage with baked beans and spinach. The other breakfast offered was a muesli. Lunch flying BNE - AKL - a chicken curry. Other offerings were a chicken and sweetcorn soup or a chicken salad...

Utilised Jimmy's taxi service again yesterday - always 5 star and I'm more than happy to pay a bit extra and support local business.
