    General EV Discussion

    We've got a Model Y and we've only used a supercharger once in nearly a year. It really wasn't that great. Slower than some of the ChargeFox and Evie chargers that we use.

    They've oversold our cruise! And we got the offer!

    bAlt and my first cruise was on Infinity. It was a seven night Alaska cruise from Vancouver then transPacific across to Hawaii where we circled the islands. We were in an outside for Alaska. It was actually pretty cool as we were close to the water and the window was big enough to sit on the...

    Hobart Call Centre may be offline for a little while...

    Haha. I don't really care as long as they can resolve the issue that I am calling about. @Cessna 180 I didn't get a messasge about Hobart, just the standard "we are transferring you to our premium line".

    Hobart Call Centre may be offline for a little while...

    I hope everyone is ok. I don't reckon I've spoken to anyone in Hobart in at least two years, maybe more. Pretty sure that Emma this morning was either in NZ, or maybe even Fiji.

    Article: Should Qantas Have a Minimum Reward Seat Guarantee?

    I am a yes. We're planners. Every trip we take is the next trip of a lifetime. Compared to anyone we know we fly a lot, enough to be a sparrow fart from ltg. Compared to many on here we barely fly much at all. I want my status to help us fly on the points we have available. Once we've both...

    Cancelled flights & waivers due to Cyclone Alfred

    The refund for bAlt's cancelled by Qantas flight to Adelaide has landed on my account overnight, followed by a 6000 point cancellation fee! Straight onto the phone this morning. Luckily zero wait and a "oh, that shouldn't have been charged". Hopefully see the points back in two to three days...

    South America travel tips for Australians

    Cusco got nearly everyone in our Intrepid group. We stopped over in Cusco on the flight to Peurto Maldonado. We sat with the doors open out on the tarmac and it was headaches galore amongst our group. Strangely it didn't worry me when we came back to Cusco to stay both before and after our Inca...

    South America travel tips for Australians

    Neither of us speak Spanish or Portuguese. Back in day we carried small Lonely Planet phrase books and used them. We took taxis to and from our hotels in BA from both airports. Same in Lima. Same in each city in Brazil. We just had the hotel names in either Spanish, or Portuguese, for the trips...

    South America travel tips for Australians

    The north of Brazil is beautiful. We flew up to Sao Luis (one of Brazil's more dangerous cities we found out after getting picked up by our guide at the airport) and then travelled to Lençóis Maranhenses National Park - Wikipedia. Just amazing. We also loved Sao Paulo, really loved Brasilia and...

    Rewards ticket to Seoul

    Don't think bAlt and I are very bogan at all, and can't say I saw any easily identifable ones on our recent trip to Seoul from Brisbane. The Jetstar hate on AFF does get so very, very tiring.
