Taihape (middle of north island for those of you that are about to go back to the interactive map;) ). I think that it might have a sign there now claiming to be the 'Gumboot capital of the world"...how can that not make it to the list:confused: :confused: . No justice in this world I say. I...

Fantastic site, thanks for the link:D This will be a great resource when planning the next family holiday to NZ. I thought I would look up where I grew up but it came back with a "there are no 'to do's around here"...sounds about right:(

Not sure about the waiting list but the BMW website says that they are all booked for 2006 and will start to take bookings for 2007 on December 1 of this year so all is not lost:) BMW Ring-Taxi

Why did you agree to swap in the first place:confused: Given the situation (and the alternative) why didn't you just tell her to move immediately? It really annoys me when people think they can sit anywhere (i.e. my seat, and then expect me to move to where they suggest:evil: )

I don't work for WA Tourism but having moved to Perth from Brisbane in February 2006, I can highly recommend the move (provided you are happy with the job). I loved Brisbane but not as much as I loved getting away from that humidity!! Sorry that didn't answer any of your questions but thought...

Typically, membership of professional associations. I have a law society Amex that has no annual fee, free rewards program, 1 point:$1 up to $10k then 1.5 points:$1 for annual spend above $10k. Not sure what the other professional associations provide but I imagine it would be something similar.

I could be wrong on this point (and I am sure someone will correct me if I am;) ) but your actual overheads (other than perhaps mortgage payments) are pretty irrelevant when assessing you for credit. My understanding from when I did this stuff years ago is that the credit providers use a set...

I have just had a look at the website and Perth in particular. The cheapest rooms in Perth appear to be $65 at the Hotel Formule 1 Perth Airport with plenty of availability. All the other Accor hotels are available as well but can cost as much as $220 a night with no mention of the regular...

I am not sure if sudafed is now a prescription medication, is it? I understand that you might now have to provide some personal information/medicare card when buying it, but I would be surprised if it required a prescription. Either way you can still buy any other cold medication (codral...

I used to have the exact same problem with flying to the point where I absolutely dreaded getting on a plane because the pain on descent was unbearable! It didn't matter what I tried as far as trying to equalise on descent, nothing worked and it felt like my head was going to explode. Now I...

Are you suggesting they should not screen people that board an aircraft or just that they should not screen airline staff?

Problem solved! It appears that other senior staff have received the card as well (although they had no idea what it was), so it seems that it has been a huge coincidence in that the company has obviously joined as a corporate member and automatically provided certain employees with automatic...

Thanks for the link, that's the one! No, I definately didn't join in a company name as I am an employee and I haven't seen this listed on our intranet as one of the staff benefits, of which there are quite a few. I can't remember all the questions on the sign up form but all I can assume is...

A couple of weeks ago I joined the SPG program and today I received my new card. Anyway, my card has the words "Preferred Business" on it and says that I automatically get 2 starpoints per eligible US dollar spent, automatic upgrade to a Preferred Room at check-in, 4pm late check out and 50%...

I clicked on the link and followed the prompts to apply for the card (not that I am going to as I already have one) but the link had the secure padlock with the verification certificate issued by Verisign to cards.citibank.com.au which I would think gives some comfort that it is legit. Having...

I imagine this would have been a bit concerning for the passengers on board:shock:

Thanks everyone for the great feedback, I really appreciate it. Looks like the 747 is the clear winner.

Thanks oz-mark, I note that on the day I am looking at returning they have the A330-200 marked for the flight. Is this a better aircraft than the 747 for the business class flight if given the choice?

Thanks Batesy, I hate the long flight (I get bored to easily) so any improvement in the IFE and comfort department is a winner for me, sounds like the 747 is the way to go.

Hi all, I hope this isn't too much of a basic question but from reading the various threads I understand that there are different types of aircraft that fly the Perth-Sydney route. Here's the situation, I need to fly to Sydney in a couple of months to attend an event sponsored by Qantas for...
