Any chance that is PNG swanning_it ?

Bit unclear what the new 7K card refers to in the context of FB/VA Explore Gold offer. If you had 55 SC and 2~ when the ExGold started you do need to get full 80SC in the 3 month window, your 55 are wiped. Your short sectors will only earn 5 SC if booked on the cheapest fare, so a few more may...

Acknowledging there are worse airlines out there doesn't make JQ better. Each to their own.

Assuming the aircraft has inflight internet, one of you guinea pigs could live TR the inaugural. My guess is it would read: Lovely Flounge experience, looking forward to London, here we go :) Oh... Champagne onboard! shame its not Krug but what a nice touch :) Supper service was ok, took a...

So you can pay $435 more (70% of the orig ticket price) for a few points, SC and seat selection. Not even close to being worth it in my book.

I guess JQ (and others) calculate that there are plenty of others who will book cheap fares without checking on the TnCs so can afford to peeve off a few hundred customers a week and stay in business for decades. In short, don't book JQ it just encourages them !

C'mon Cossie, i live in Canberra and the ACT has the worst drivers in the country bar none. I often see drivers too timid to merge properly and stop in the merge lane, and don't get me started on roundabouts!

When I closed my NAB CC it was a pain. I tried the PM feature in online banking but got a reply to call them. Another end of month/statement passed without any closure so I did call and was put through to the "retention" team member who just said "I understand you want to cancel?" and didn't...

Wow. Is there no backup?

Great flight CBR-BNE today for several reasons. 1. Watched a 4-ship formation group taxi and depart in unison, impressive flying. Not roulettes from yesterday's ADFA open day, smaller trainers I didn't recognise. 2. Left this for balmy Brisbane winter (21 deg sunshine): ...and 3. The VIS...

Unfortunately yes, you will have 12 months from the renewal date to reach 400. They are not lost per se, you actually saved 350 SC that were not required for the 500 necessary to reach normal gold. But, in one respect the 70 "extra" credits count for nothing.

Liz @ Pullman AKL is great. The excellent staff attitude is largely due to her work running customer service training workshops. I am torn about staying here though because the rooms, particularly in some areas of the residence are very tired, and the lounge is tiny!

Sam, you are a great contributor and I respect your view. Different users will place value on different aspects of the paid membership. For me, it's the app (with a bit of "good feeling" you mentioned to pay back for the helpful community AFF has created). A limited app means limited...

While I tend to agree with your points and think that airline/pax expectations are often misaligned, as consumers we shouldn't just shrug and accept it - doing so has allowed airlines to get away with doing less and people just accept it. The more pax who challenge such arbitrary moves the more...

Well, great but it's been almost a week and the app is still having this problem. The effect is that I'm unable to read and therefore unlikely to join the "conversation" by posting. Seems like continual and ongoing issues with the AFF app (ie. separate of this issue there is the logout error...

Indeed, i screengrabbed the GHA payment page showing Rate $xx_.00 plus (next line) taxes and fees $0.00. May chase it at some point but small fry and i may not bother. Just irks me when not declared up front.

Rydges still running 3.5% Amex surcharge whuch IS declared on the Rydges website IF you book direct... but not shown if you book through PGR or GHA site (say if browsing all group hotels). I objected to Rydges Melb as there is not even a sign at reception, but they had zero interest and wouldn't...

Posting this from VA256 enroute CBR-MEL :)

Same here. I had an "advance rate" booking at the new Sydney Sofitel (Darling Harbour) and compared this FLASH sale rate... exactly what I had paid weeks ago now being advertised as a sale rate.

Melb today and tomorrow then around Canberra on Saturday but flying out Sunday early.
