We've had a couple of cancellations that really wrecked planned family weekends with very poor excuses i.e. they had double booked the first night. AirBnb promised a $50 voucher for the next booking which never eventuated - the booking was much later and by that time the voucher was forgotten...

Would be really interested to read your take on the meeting; your insights would be appreciated.

Yep. And again some will find them attractive, others not. It's also a matter of the organisation's store capacity, clients and local resources. We're probably generalising. I do agree that cash is a very good way to go.

There is probably room for both: good quality clothing suitable for e.g. employment interviews and sports equipment for children are desirable and save employees/volunteers time and effort having to purchase. Their time is valuable as well. Unfortunately in our fast fashion/instant disposable...

Interesting article. I had no idea about the cancellation/refund policy and it is rather annoying if ANZ cancels flight for whatever reason. We are travelling on ANZ for the simple reason it is the only direct flight albeit at an uncongenial time in the morning. The flight is also booked out...

The World Cup will be an interesting "watch" as it is the first time 3 countries will co-host. So it's Canada, USA and Mexico. Wonder how that will work.

Our chances of getting upgrades on Qantas are zip. Not sure I have "let go", deep breath, enough to want to fly Q - always look at alternatives first.

We know a well educated American currently on a visit who is looking for alternatives to returning to the US.

Thinking of trip to Canada/Alaska in 2026. Initially thought of flying Syd/ HNL/Vancouver as we have friends in HNL. Flying back SEA to SIN. Still want to go but waiting to see what eventuates. Hoping that Alaska is far enough removed to ignore the hubris currently being generated.

Hallelujah 😊 thank you, great tip, I'll look for it.

What on earth is happening with CYC, I thought they had managed to get into the US market.

Thank you

Thank you @markis10. Is it better to buy from a retailer eg Anaconda or Garmin?

Hi, have a friend about to go hiking solo around Spain and southern Europe and thought a PLB could be a good idea. Do the ones sold in Aus work well there or are they country specific? Obviously I've never used one. Any suggestions re brand and capacity welcome.

I wasn't aware of the program limitation in this respect. Didn't want to do it as I don't like the change and mix of airlines without at least an overnight. The general tardiness/unreliability of airlines these days leaves me underwhelmed. Or, just as likely, our increasing maturity making...

Thank you and yes, there is. However, I didn't really want to take the Virgin flight with points as ANZ is much better value with SIA awards. Not sure whether there is any availability across the ditch and we prefer the direct flight.. So I'll probably just book a revenue fare when I'm sure...

Thank you, this is a fascinating read. Been wanting to visit for many years, might have to make some plans.

We haven't travelled from Aus but have from Sin to Mad return in J. Meals were delicious, I found the crew, women, very helpful. Flat bed was a bit narrow for +1 but I thought was good. Didn't notice any announcements. As others have noted the new Ist anbul hub is huge and walking a klm or...

Hmm yes, well I booked the seats and I think...... the website glitch is still a happening. Received a message to call Sydney at the payment end. Only economy but surprised to see a lot of availability for the overnight flights as well. Or maybe that is the glitch and they shouldn't be...

Thank you. It's a hard route to search. I found a seat on am early morning flight perth to AKL much to my surprise. Only economy so I'm thinking about it, probably should book quickly. The website disappears seats in an eye blink.
