Hi I just wanted to share my experience today with trying to organise two for one today with my Virgin Money Platinum Card. I wanted to organise for my spouse and children to fly to DRW-BNE, while I fly CBR-BNE. Apparently I have to be one of the two people. Is this right? It seems a bit...

Further extensions to the Virgin network into Europe?

Qantas Cash is 2-3 Business Days. From experience, go with the 3 days. Reloadable Prepaid Mastercard | Prepaid Travel Card from Qantas Cash

Citibank Visa Debit is great for flexibility, but you cannot "hedge" your cash, should it be of value. Also, depending on where you are going, there is no point getting a travel card, as it won't have any benefit. An example of this if you pop over to Indonesia - no travel card I can find...

I booked my Velocity Gold Status spouse on Bravofly, as the price was significantly cheaper. We had to fight to get status for that journey. Result. Never again.

Markis10 - do you know how DRW will lay out their common use area as part of redevelopment? Will we see common use bag drop/robots like in European Air Ports, or is that too hard for Australia?

This does sound exciting. I'm wondering whether they'll do this in DRW too. The bag drop queue is usually unattended when I get there, or there is a twit in front of me who has 10 little bags when they are only entitled to one.

Re: Upgrades from Saver Can you gift points, and do you get bonus status too? Currently pooling everything to Mrs Here2go so I can get gold from her Platinum but monthly DRW-SYD on saver fares at own expense is not giving me status fast enough.

Can't be dearer than ASP or AYQ

I found that ATMs were not that hard to come by in Tokyo, and used a funky one at Narita that had numbers 0-9 in sequential order rather than keypad. However, I was vigilant in using my Bankwrst Platinum credit card and avoiding cash. Most supermarkets and touristy places credit, so everything...

They did until the RAAF retired the F111 fleet :) Seriously though, a formerly government owned airline amalgamating and taking over an airline that was never state-owned (noting that the airlines that own Virgin have large government stakes). The Canadian example is a precedent, and their...

I am wondering if we will see a Canadian Airlines / Air Canada style amalgamation. I can see Qantas collapsing, Virgin through outside support pulling through, and taking over,the Qantas brand. Meanwhile JQ and maybe Tiger are separated and consolidated into a LCC correlating to Westjet. The...

Bankwest have a webform for advising you are traveling OS, and I know they check it, as they have studiously failed to put my middle name on my account, so I get a phone call saying they can't find my details.

I let my banks know I am travelling. Never had a problem.

Just brought a bike for Master Here2go from CBR to DRW. As per other posters, the bike store gave me an adult box, and even packed it for me, for free. The box made it intact to DRW just then, but handles were ripped. Suggest lots of tape if a return trip, or as others suggest a good bag...

May depend on fare rules. Have been burned on points with MH of late through Expedia. Should have paid extra $50 to book direct and get QF points

Hi Last month I had a lovely trip SIN-NRT with MH, and have been looking at the Status and Points rolling in for the SIN-KUL leg (return) however, nothing rolled in for KUL-NRT leg return, until after I logged a request, until today. The return was nil points, nil status. Is this normal? I...

Wingspan, we couldn't get Accadi at Family Mart in Roppongi, or in Niseko at SeicoMart or Lawson's Station. We decided to see how things went and get soy if needed. We found Japanese milk has a low lactose content, tasting different to Australian milk. I liked it, Miss Here2go drank it, and...

@Wingspan, I am looking forward to procuring Accadi in Roppongi, Tokyo and also in the Seico Mart / Lawson's Station in Niseko Grand Hirafu in the next few days. I have printed off your link and added it to my paper file of important stuff.

I like the BW Qantas Platinum Card (to be honest I wish they did a Velocity Product) - and it is handy not having to think about where the vendor is domiciled, let alone Forex Transactions. However, I was of the impression that Forex did not quality for Points. I went to check this, and Terms...
