If in doubt I would call the insurance company - sure they may not cover you for something, or try to charge you a premium, but that would be better than being stranded with no cover somewhere. Things like asthma, even though they are pre-existing conditions are generally covered anyway by some...

A PDS would be awesome Mr Orange, as, like most I am very interested in what the fees and charges are - which would be covered by a PDS. Working both days, but any questions I would submit would be "Fees and Charges" related.

Welcome aboard - plenty of great info on here. Enjoy.

After a lot of online research, and calls to the insurance company, I have been - however the only thing I am really concerned about is the medical side of things. Treatment, evacuation etc, as the only item I generally carry with me worth a great deal of money is my camera gear (around $10,000...

Picked up a trifecta with Woolies this week... first decent one in a while 1. $10 off and free delivery Woolies Online 2. Big W $20/250 points 3. Woolies choose your reward (as above $120 spend for 500 points or 20cpl/10ppl; $160 for 750 points or 25cpl/12.5ppl). Will likely combine option 1...

Was in the same boat last year, had zero travel planned for the 3 months I had the offer. Will see how it pans out this year, and plan less far ahead and see what happens. Our new holiday strategy is just to have a few little interstate trips, and if/when the DSC happens smash out a few o/s J...

Well put - which is why (IMO) it went to JQ. I spent a lot of years flying through Thailand, and still do on occasion, and the vast majority of people are holidaying, looking for the cheapest fare (Jetstar, Air Asia etc). Even the tourist folk staying at 5* places do due to the fact it costs a...

Thanks for the reminder - on a long night shift, so just tunes in on the radio. 137/2 - Watson 92

Brilliant idea, the Good Lady and I have often sent letters of thanks to airlines, hotel staff, even retailers thanking them for a job well done.

Mrs - $15 spend on dog food for 150 (great, our favourite dog food is on special - done!) Me - $25 spend on vitamins for 200 pts... a fortnight after we bought up on vitamins as we were both sick...

<<gulp>> our Tassie dates have changed with my roster (gosh I love shift work). Am now out, we will be down there 8-18/11..

re MEL-BKK, which I used to fly several times a year some time ago. JQ and TG are the only ones flying direct now, TG used to be via SYD (often coming home when I used to fly them) but switched to all or mostly direct now since QF dropped off. Not sure about Air Asia but more often than not...

The OP stated it was the discrepancy in pick up time for the car in which he was charged the extra. T&C's either wrong or not being applied correctly I'd say.

One hour grace each way isn't a lot - especially considering customs/immigration/baggage collection for international flights can vary from 1 to 3 hours (IME).. pretty hard to pinpoint your time within 2 hours, delays not withstanding... Think I'll keep on parking at friends' places nearby - all...

Re: Ryanair staff getting bonuses for catching passengers with excess/large baggage . John, I wouldn't put BKK Air in the LCC category. I have only flown them domestically and they are the most expensive in Thailand, but also the best in my humble opinion.

The real reason Jetstar's getting them before Qantas?

They did on the Love Boat....

As far as safety concerns, I'd rather an "old head" keeping passengers and less experienced staff calm, than younger staff who may or may not be competent. In my experience dealing with emergency situations, (and there has been a few), the older more experienced staff seem to handle it/deal with...

Double points for $250+ purchases, this usually happens after I've been told not to order any more wine by SWMBO

Just got the $5 bakery for 150 points that everyone else got a week ago... not feeling the love..
