I ported my second phone from TPG (Vodafone) to Woolworths (Telstra) this week. I had not had a scam call or message on the TPG service for many months but now it is with Telstra I am getting around 2 calls per day. Clearly the scammers have access to number movements, just like when I arrive...

Perhaps everyone who objects to Australia Day or wants to change the date should protest by insisting on going to work !

SYD dom J - If you wish to prepare a sandwich (ham, cheese and whatever) for toasting are you suggesting taking all the ingredients in a pile on a plate back to your seat and preparing it on the tables that are wiped over periodically with the same cloth that is used repeatedly through out the...

The new normal.

An Owners Corporation in NSW has no power to issue fines and any by-law that suggests otherwise is invalid. They can issue a by-law breach notice and if the owner/occupier ignores it the only legal remedy is to seek an order at the Civil and Administrative Tribunal who, if appropriate, can issue...

I (Oz passport) have travelled out of MNL to HKG (and return), in the company of a Filipino citizen and at check-in I was not required to pay a departure tax, although it may have been included in the ticket price. The Filipino citizen at check-in was told to go to the tax desk (100 metres away)...

Could it be that the flight that is showing on Qantas.com but not showing in their system is because it has already been cancelled, but its still on sale :eek:

So following QF SOP ? If they update the timetable to reflect what is being achieved they will have better OTP.

Presumably the eftpos machine can be used to compile evidence of those who were scammed and they might (in time) get a refund - assuming there are still funds available and they were not immediately sent off shore. It would be interesting to know which bank was supplying the eftpos service and...

Another reason (LCC aspirations) for my new policy which I call AOA - Any other Airline - for international travel.

It's hit and miss, but then its QF. My recent SYD-AKL-SYD on QF was better then I expected (principally on the return journey) but for the ridiculous fares currently being offered and with no real competition (EK ?) they can charge what they like and provide a very average service and get away...

The SIN airport FX agents, as far as I am aware, are those you have mentioned and they have the usual uncompetitive 'airport' rates and fees. I doubt they hold much PHP, if any.

Reasonably easy to change AUD directly to PHP in SIN as the population of domestic staff, that numbers in the thousands, are principally from the Philippines. Private money changes tend to have better rates then the banks. I go to "Lucky Plaza" at 304 Orchard Road ( a 3 storey shopping plaza)...

This guide to the airport (which says it is 3 years ago) says there are money changing facilities at the airport and the ATM's (ownership not disclosed) come with a warning about fees. https://www.discoverthephilippines.com/davao-francisco-bangoy-international-airport/ However, this guide says...

BDO is one of the major banks in the Philippines https://www.bdo.com.ph/about-bdo/corporate-profile I gather you are referring to the ATM's when referring to withdrawal limits and fees because a straight exchange of currency at a BDO utilises the then current bank exchange rate (less than the...

So in other words: We are currently in the process of cancelling / consolidating our usual share of today's flights and rather then have everyone complain at the airport (particularly in the QF lounges) when we cancel the flights after you have checked in, we are giving you a heads up that you...

I have just received an email to log in to QF Business Rewards (via the link included) and be auto entered into a promotion for an extra 1K points per booking. I tried to log in 3 times and 3 times the link and sign-in gives me "Sorry we have encountered a problem". A perfect example of why I...

Because we have all experienced the continuing failures of the QF IT systems and the lack of trust this has created. Plus the hassles of chasing up QF when it goes wrong.

It would be interesting if they were forced to disclose the monthly OTP, separately for QF and JQ international flights, and not the combined average over all operated flights in the month (including Qantas Link). That would show the true unreliability and uncertainty that pax exercising their...
