    Travel Insurance Direct Discount Offer

    My travel agent wouldn't book me JQ and AY on separate tickets (DRW-SIN-HEL) as the turnaround in SIN was too small. The general rule there was 3 hours fat if not the same PNR. However, talk to the insurer. Their rules may be different.

    Travel Insurance Direct Discount Offer

    The snowsports with TID cannot be beaten from a comprehensive perspective from what I have found so far. They seem to be the only company that covers breakages to equipment - not that I've broken anything. However, if you are not worried about breakages equipment loss, I'd be looking at...

    Avoiding paying GST on Virgin domestic while still getting luggage

    Through Skyscanner, I've found lots of agents that will book you a Saver Lite fare at dirt cheap rates that are effectively GST free. However, none I've found so far will book you a saver fare. Have I been looking in the wrong places? I am currently pooling status to Mrs Here2go, so I have...

    A long shot...............Japan

    My Geology teacher at high school always warned us against Armidale in NSW. All that New England granite apparently can set off the geiger counters. Yet people still live there. I'm playing it safe this holiday season. I'm avoiding Armidale, and I'm off to go Niseko skiing where there is a...

    Virgin need to educate their alliance partners better!

    Both airlines use Sabre, so theoretically no excuse.

    Mobile phone stolen by house keeping, should I complain?

    I've just tweeted to @HiltonHotels and @TourismMalaysia the link to this thread. Getting the Malaysian Government involved should expedite things quite nicely! Separate note, my sister had money stolen when she was backpacking through Malaysia 10 years ago. She saw the person, who was a...

    You can also access the mobile website on your PC - Cheap Flights Australia | Cheap International and Domestic Airfares | Jetstar Mobile I have found the mobile website blows on Windows Phone. Doesn't even work on IE for RT/Windows 8 (Metro). Works on IE for Windows 8 Desktop, Chrome, Firefox...

    Malaysian - linking booking to Qantas system

    Expedia even sent me an Amadeus reference to look at (Amadeus is used by Expedia). This won't feed into QF like AmadeusOW partners like Finnair but it certainly provides comfort.

    Travel Insurance Direct Discount Offer

    I decided to forgo an annual policy and just buy one for the trip. $257 for the four of us. Dearer than an annual policy with skiing, but I figured I'd just play it by ear, and maybe get an annual policy from our next trip without skiing. Most "ski" insurance, including the Virgin Australia...

    Mobile checkin with Virgin and the Windows Phone app

    And here was I thinking it was perhaps a Sabre issue. Note I have tried through both the app and mobile website (which the app is effectively)

    Mobile checkin with Virgin and the Windows Phone app

    I had to book a return trip DRW-SYD on VA this week, so I thought I'd give the mobile app on Windows Phone a go. Experiences have been poor. The app insisted on insurance, so I used Expedia on the work computer which runs an old browser. Then mobile checkin wouldn't work. After contacting...

    Travel Insurance Direct Discount Offer

    TID have almost doubled in price for me compared with last year, courtesy of separating skiing from the bog standard annual package. With a TID discount they no longer add up.
