Today Telecards officially retired from duty. Telstra - Telecard Travel Phonecard - Home Phone May we all pause and think of Peter Reith.

The economics of beer in Australian airline lounges has always intrigued me. Rather than a single quaffing beer on tap or beer pouring robots Japanese style (e.g. Sapporo or Boags Premium) there is lots of variety largely in bottles. Is variety more important than singular quality when it...

As backpacker 13 years past I took the train from Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec, Halifax, Montreal, NYC, WashingtonDC then across to San Jose. Interesting who you meet, and things you see.

18 October. I know there are seats available when booking for Mrs Here2go. Booking award seats is just painful! However, with timings and maximising family time in Brisneyland, JQ makes more sense than QF.

I've got a JQ QF award booking, and was wanting to link the booking to my Jetstar, and also see what seats the kids and I have been allocated, so I can allocate a seat to Mrs Here2go, who is on a paid booking starter fare, next to us. Is there anyway I can do this before checkin?

Which website will let you do it, that is the question....

Where do their hard and worn bathrobes go to die?

I know OT, but indeed - Orient Express have done a really good job. No touts, tips, etc (but the service charges are big), and when you see the place, you can understand why the prices are on par with Australia. Only bad part of the trip was connection provided via our travel agent. The tour...

I said Japanese toilet seats previously (should be in every hotel) if you're on holidays with just yourself and your other half for a bit of alone time away from the kids, you can't beat the private infinity pool on the side of a near cliff overlooking a jungle valley, like this one at Ubud...

Which is cool for DRW checkin, but not when using a checkin robot at SYD, etc.

Wouldn't a Gold/Platinum etc tag theoretically give you priority when picking up your bag? (I know most baggage handlers don't care) Time is money!

You can do Points and Pay through the Qantas website. Not classic points though.

Bankwest Platinum is the only other comparable card.

I can't comment on Peach personally, but can say they are part owned by ANA, as is Air Asia Japan, soon to become "Vanilla" after Air Asia pulled out and ANA took over completely. Mmmm... How long will Peaches and Vanilla last? If their seat density is the same as Y on JAL, I reckon Peach will...

In the UK they are £5.50 from the RAC, AA or PostOffice, plus maybe £5.50 Postage. US Fees are USD15 plus any applicable postage. Quite cheap compared with Australia. Maybe it is about time the Australian Automobile Association, as represented by the State and Territory Associations and...

You could be stuck in DRW for six hours with young kids..... Enjoy the time in SIN. There is plenty to do and steam let off in SIN means more sleep time en route to LHR. Having been stuck in transit for 17 hours flying DRW-SIN-MUC with kids the same age, I can say the break was welcome. On the...

Good for you! Alternative is quite unpleasant!

I hope for your sake you are flying back Qantas - the redeye to Brisneyland is really quite unpleasant in the absence of a lounge for VA customers in DRW. At the Catholic Churches here, spending time in the DRW departure lounge from 12am is a part of the penance for really nasty sins after...

Hi My spouse has in my view met the requirements for Platinum. Can you please confirm she should be upgraded on the basis of these details, and if so, how long does it take for the software, etc. to run for this to take effect? Cheers!

RE: The said vendor on Darling Harbour. I have contacted the ACCC to ascertain whether a complaint should be lodged. I'm not wronged, but you may be, and from a domestic tourism perspective I am not impressed.
