    Jetstar ODU with new fare types

    I realise this thread is a little old, but after trawling through page after page looking for more recent information on the JQ ODU's I came up blank. Has anyone got any updated prices, or whether or not this is still an option. Not overly fussed on the FF points or SC's

    Las Vegas Buffet

    Not fair…. I was thinking of dropping the TDB card, but the drool factor was just too much The Vegas Texas De Brazil is my favourite TDB location, followed by Tampa then Orlando (and YES, I love my Churrascaria…) The wine wall is something to behold… (when not expecting the Gaucho's to line...

    Las Vegas Buffet

    I have found that the Buffet at the M Resort is one of the best in (or around) Vegas You do need a car as it is a 10 minute drive up the hill towards the CA border Personally I like the buffets as I have strange cravings, and to go to a Restaurant or Cafe and be able to ask, and get what I...

    MEL > SYD - better to fly on 24 or 25 Dec?

Mainly flights to LAX (Y to Y+ or Y+ to J) however there have been a few SYD-BNE's & SYD-MEL's all upgraded at check in or...

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    Yes, US Bonds prices rose, but overall the S&P, Nasdaq & Dow Jones avg were all down The US markets are getting spooked a lot more than our markets over Greece's future in the Euro Zone

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    They were talking about it on the radio yesterday (Comsec and some other mob). Initial fluctuations will be seen due to events in the EU, however it will stabilise and things will start really moving when China starts to buy more resources. Also, if the EU gets real messy, the AUD will be safe...

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    I say $1.45 However, several of the most respected financial analysts around the globe predict the following: $1.70 by 2014 (this was quoted last year - a revised prediction now stands at $1.60-$1.65 by 2014) Our dip at the moment has very little to do with Greece and the EU, it is more...

    Federal Police bust hire cars companies at airports!

    My original reply, in regards to the theft of hire cars at airports, plus, other information is based on personal experience between 1995 and 2002. Given that most of that time period pre-dated the events of 9/11 things were a lot different at SYD, and also every other airport in Australia...

    Federal Police bust hire cars companies at airports!

    Hence why I said 'Grey areas' as you will find most Federal Police/Protective Services personnel have no idea about the relevant state and commonwealth laws which may or may not apply to such areas.

    Federal Police bust hire cars companies at airports!

    Having been in a position of relative authority for many years (manager/supervisor for one of the major car rental companies at SYD) I can advise that in a 3 year period only 4 cars were taken with question marks as to how/what/when/why with a couple of them. It was established with at least 2...

    Las Vegas advice?

    If you are referring to the Premium Outlets (North) you need to catch another bus as it is a little way off the strip (closer to I-15) A block or so North of the Little White Wedding Chapel, then head west on E Charleston then north on S Grand Central Sadly I know this place too well… at least...

    Las Vegas advice?

    Sorry, this needs correcting. The plate on the car has nothing to do with one-way (relocation) fees Key is to pre-book with any of the major companies as most have a no fee policy between Nevada & California (Plus the ownership, or home location of the vehicle has nothing to do with where the...
