I also like microwave rice, but this particular one did nothing for me.

Sounds OK, but I'll just fly Qantas on the 330. As a Qantas elite it's a no brainer, Otherwise, I guess it might be somewhat competitive.

It sounds awful to me, and I did get the "offer".

I assume that AF business class O (paid) gets Qantas points (the https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/earn-points/airline-earning-tables/earn-category-tables.html#air-france seems to suggest so.

While the GF fare was very good, I think that this Air France offer is even better, given that it can be credited to Qantas...

I'm thinking I may well ditch this account. It no longer seems to have anything going for it, that can't be bettered by free accounts elsewhere (eg Wise, Ubank, Macquarie, etc.). I'll retain my Bankwest (fee free) credit card though

Like Penang, Batu Ferringhi. Nicer and safer than the Philippines IMO.

We're talking about the USA here...

But why BHX? I can only assume that you have family links there. Ozzy Osbourne?

Yes, but what is it going to save you? 10c?

Maybe, but I wouldn't pay for it. If my wife and I were flying SQ in Y, we'd choose seats in the middle for direct aisle access and no one trying to climb over us, and saving something like AU$250. But having said that, we wouldn't be doing it at all. We'd be flying Scoot Plus in 1A/C.

TBH, I'm not one that will indulge in BOB. A complete ripoff IMO, and if you have lounge access not really such an issue.

Very good fare (IMO) for those interested in travelling to Europe in Business Class via SE Asia. Noticed it on FT: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/premium-fare-deals/2195551-gf-mnl-mxp-others-business-1-238-a.html

Not great news if you're travelling any time soon. But not much worse than Great British Railways...

And Rome FCO. I know from experience.

I wouldn't get too excited about it. It's not a deal maker (the religious police will be watching you...). If I wanted a drink I'd go elsewhere, as in another country (or even to the Australian embassy in Riyadh - ask me how I know).

Yes, absolutely. I opened this account mainly because of the favourable foreign currency conversion rates, but as Bankwest declines many of my foreign currency transactions because of its hypersensitivity to possible fraud, I find it quite difficult to use. So I mainly use Wise for these...

That's not saying a lot. Surely biz should be a bit nicer than it is for the $$$$ they charge. But, oh wait!

I know what you mean. I booked a R/T Ljubljana - Klagenfurt trip with OeBB for next month on a Sunday, and have since discovered that there will be trackwork between Ljubljana and Jesenice that day. So it looks like part of my trip will be by bus (if I'm lucky). I guess you just have to suck it...

This is all very interesting, but some of the comments above need to be tested when an irregularity actually occurs. You know what I'm, saying. As I've mentioned previously, I always take out the Hertz Max Damage Waiver, as it gives me peace of mind. To me that's worth a lot, but to others...
