I've been lucky enough to go on safari twice already (Hwange on a rugby tours in 1995 and Tsavo/Masai Mara in 2001 for our honeymoon) and I've been hankering to do another. The backbone of the trip came when I found Y QF award availability x5 for AMS-JNB on KLM (CDG-JNB on AF was also...

Like many Australian migrants, trips back to the homeland are tricky. You want to see the family you've left behind but you also need a holiday yourself. After our first few years of staying at people's homes, usually while they were still living their normal lives, we worked out that it would...

Many of the AFF TRs focus on premium cabins (which I love to use when I can) but for many points collectors with families, having enough points then finding J availability is next to impossible. On top of that everything x4+ becomes expensive. I'm a long way from the breadline but do have a...

We did this trip back in April and I've been meaning to report for a while. Still, I'm currently in SIN overnight with no lounge access so here we go.

VA plat did used to be able to access the EY F lounge in AUH

Thanks all I will indded be able to get BP at SIN but only when the UL agent comes onto the the Transfer desk 3 hours before flight. Looks like no lounge for me Good I don't have to clear immigration though

Tried once many years ago. No luck I'm afraid

Must have missed it. My bad

Turns out no UL flight from SYD this evening so can strike that one. . Fingers crossed for Changi

Internet AI says no UL transfer desk at SIN but guess will see at generic transfer desk at SIN (if UL at SYD cant help)

Hi Not sure if anyone can offer words of wisdom Have flight SIN-CMB-LHR tomorrow at 0945 on UL Have checked in online but says can't issue BP for first leg due to SIN airport regulations (though suspect its not) Thing is I am flying SYD-SIN on SQ today landing at 0020 (separate tickets) Had...

I avoid buying any cards tied to a store (or groups of stores) where the value exceeds the anticipated transaction. Small balances on generic spend ones can always be offloaded at supermarket. Bunnings ones are OK as they can easily be used in part payment.

I spent an inordinate amount of time sorting out mrsandye's login (not helped by her Flybuys being linked to a defunct email address) yesterday. Eventually sorted though by linking Flybuys, then Coles site to a new email address then linking the card.

Just did a check and none of the sites mentioned have updated to the presence of Elizabeth tube line from LHR

Mrsandye's hair straighteners gave up the ghost. Cheapest price to replace on Amazon. 1. Can get an Amazon Giftcard on QF Marketplace for 4 bonus QF/$ +2QF/$ with Qantas Mastercard for QF spend 2. Shipping free with Amazon Prime (free with Amex Plat for now) 3. Ordered yesterday. Arrived today

Yes. Twice on domestic flights. Had to move things from Mrsandye's case to mine at the checkin desk

VA don't let you in my experience

My Red Dozen and the Mixed Dozen Less happy with the Mixed but price was ok

The two major side-effects are to muscle and liver both around the 1% mark. I would.suggest (and have myself) getting a CK (creatine kinase) and LFT (liver function test) bloods a month or two after starting. Muscle cramps without damage does seem to be more common and is probably the main...

Statins are amazing drugs if you have moderate or high vascular risk (which includes all with coronary artery disease and nearly all with stroke). So I wouldn't say never As a rule of thumb they reduce risk of further events by about 20%. If your vascular risk is low (i.e otherwise healthy...
