77, I can barely remember most of them. I was in my early twenties when I was travelling the most and regret not spending more time at the landmarks, whereas I mostly made a quick visit for photos and then to the nearest bar...

I've brought a lot of wine back in suitcases just wrapped in clothes and only once have I ever had an issue and in that situation nothing would have saved the day. I had a bag with a bottle of Whisky in it go missing coming back from the USA, after a week I was advised that my bag was lost...

My two seat situations; the first was on a BA flight where I'd had seat 1A assigned for months and was checked in still with 1A. When I arrived at the gate and they scanned my boarding pass, it alerted and was immediately torn up and replaced with Seat 3A... I was quite disappointed, and more so...

Yes, I've flown Egypt Air several times, and the seat numbering starts at 20 (never found out why). I went to check in at the J counter and was given seat 20A and almost had a fit, but clearly they've seen it before and reassured me I was in business...

Yes, as a plane lover myself (private pilot and frequent flyer) I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I also agree with above poster that the drive up, absolutely amazing, we love Seattle and , Washington State and of course Mt Rainer. Hoping that your doing the Alaska cruise with Holland America, they...

i just checked and I paid $240 for mine through Myers last month, but that $225 is exceptional. I did also buy some additional pieces from Victoria's Basement

We normally cancel our cards at the end of the year for a new deal, however having just been to enquire about an ANZ mortgage have been told that the ANZ Black will be bundled in for free if we also transfer our current account to them... Anyone know anything about this?

I can't recall exactly, but I bought the dining sets online for around $350 ish each? Then bought some of the other items through different websites with various sales. The mugs I bought in store (I hate mugs, but my arm was twisted).

Couldn't really find much about the Marc Newson dining set on here; except a few old threads. Anyway, we really liked this set and with a few good deals recently (including Myer selling it at 30% off) we ended up buying two of the dining sets and all of the matching mugs, teapots etc. Anyway...

Some of us spend more time lurking then posting.

Will use the Blue Mountains train to get in and out so we can have a drink :-)

So, probably a bit late notice, but with my parents over in Australia over New Years Eve, it means that we have free babysitting and go out and check out the fireworks. I really don't want to be have to camp out from 10am, so am looking at some of the more civilised options; tickets remain...

QF917 Karratha to Perth via Port Hedland (Magical mystery tour) Had an interesting experience yesterday; arrived at Karratha to catch the last flight out to Perth to be told that we were heading back via Port Hedland but they'd endeavour for us to make our connections onwards...

But surely reducing to single deck is a backwards step and will reduce capacity?

Absolutely awful setup, I won't be doing QF MNL-SYD again, would rather go CX and have a night in HKG. Never call the local QF number in Manila if you need assistance, it is an absolute waste of time. I spent almost two hours trying to change a ticket through them, and lots of hassle trying to...

I've just been through Vietnam SYD-SGN-HAN-LHR-HAN-SGN-SYD with Alitalia Fraccia Alata membership. The domestic lounges were pretty dismal, a few chairs, wifi and some random inedible food. I think they had some alcoholic drink offerings, but I didn't try. Accessing the domestic lounges in HAN...

I also had priority pass several years ago, like @karitas I also found the lounges to vary from absolutely fantastic to a waste of time. You have lounges like the No.1 lounge that I think Karitas is alluding to, which is fanatic, the ones in Singapore are reasonable, but then you get these...

Ho Chi Minh International - CIP Apricot Lounge Vietnam CIP Apricot Lounge at Ho Chi Minh International, was granted access with the ANZ Black, and my 4 year old son was granted access free of charge as well. The lounge is hidden away though, only accessible by lift (the staircase next to the...

When I travel to the office in Europe for a Mon-Fri week I usually just take hand carry, saves a lot of hassle at the other end. The key is mini toiletries (of if you know the hotel provides, then minimal toiletries) and NOT taking jeans, jeans are heavy and take a lot of weight. When going...

Yes IRROPS can sometimes work in your favour, I've had several flight delays work in my favour (upgrades or overnight in hotels in nice places), and once got a 24 hour stopover in Hong Kong with hotel accommodation and compensation due to a delay, which worked out in our favour because we'd...
