It is not just the card issuer - but the card brand. Go Mastercard from GE has the 3% fee on Foreign Vendors, but everyone's FOREX free favourite - 28 Degrees, does not.

Does this just prompt you re what networks are around you offering to connect? If so, this is built into WP8.

What does BestFlights have? Can't comment on their worth as an online agent. I mention I'm in Darwin and they fob me off.

Curious as to the display of the four most important information to many Frequent Travellers on different platforms. Here it is on WP8. I love the elegance of apps on WP. Just wish Qantas and Virgin will take advantage of NFC in WP8 like JAL has on feature phones. AFF (Mobile Site only :( -...

I just wanted to say - I love this forum! Thank you all who read and could assist!

Arigato gasaimasu (I know I'll have the Romanji wrong)

All This sounds like an oxymoron - Japan and Milk, but I am asking for Miss Here2go (2yo), who loves milk, but is lactose intolerant. Does anybody know whether there is a brand of lactose free milk that can be purchased in Japan (specifically in Tokyo and Kutchan/Niseko, or a powder that we...

Have you noticed that the Germans are generally nicer,people and far better behaved? We need a few Krampus on station in most Australian shopping centres IMHO.

I can't comment on Poland. Most countries have a form of markets now, trying to emulate Germany/Austria. I've seen a few in Bratislava, Luxembourg, and Dublin. None of them are worth for - stick with Germany and Austria. I found markets in the British Isles awful - they were an opportunity...

Oops! HND to CTS - corrected.

Until the Australian lounges introduce the environmentally friendly magic of the Japanese beer dispenser with the tilt mechanism to ensure a quality pour (better to reuse glasses than recycle bottles), all Australian lounges are officially lacklustre, no matter how good the food is.

Not that it's a competition I think I win so far in terms of most recent use. Can anybody beat JAL in 2007? (can't recall return flight Jan 2008). Prior to this I would have used them on the QF 747SP doing the run BNE-POM 1982-84, and the inaugural Air Niugini A300 POM-SIN in 1984. Prior to...

Used them on the JAL A300s HND-NRT in Dec 2007. Went well with a glass of Skytime.

Does this app work out of range? I love Here/Nokia Maps for this reason. Very handy around Europe, much of Asia too. Download the map before you go. No data issues.

Any hotel that offers Japanese toilet seats.

From the OW website TAMTAM is the leading carrier of Brazil, Latin America's largest economy and the region's biggest air travel market. It will transition from the Star Alliance to oneworld in the second quarter of 2014. TAM operates to 60 destinations in 16 countries in Latin America...

The 920 was marketed as a "tough" phone, able to withstand knocks, use your keys with the screen, etc. With a "Kids Corner" functionality - if it can't handle a drop, then it is not fit for purpose.

I love Windows Phone 8. Great travellers phone with the best mapping solutions as a general rule (pre downloaded, no data required). I have been using Nokia, but have found support atrocious since the demise of the Nokia Care Centres and the requirement to send phones to Sydney at the centre...

Actually I make more calls that I used to. I buy my phones outright, and use Amaysim. All you can eat calls more attractive than data.

When my wife was pregnant with our firstborn and still at work, she not only had the certificate, but it said she had to fly business. Work had to cough up. I think we all need those certificates for work travel.
