    How does Europcar treat you as an Elite?

    JQ sale fares (not)!

    Sorry, I meant that once a sale is over, the base fare increases but at the same time the max bundle cost decreases.

    JQ sale fares (not)!

    I also have been frustrated with this and now wait until any sales are over and then book my required 3 max bundle fares for a saving of ~$400. Thanks for that! Never even occurred to me to do that.

    Interesting times at the checkout.

    A couple of weeks ago using the self checkout I withdrew cash and was distracted and left the $150.00 in the dispenser. Getting home I realised my stupidity and rang Woolies.

    Bali, finally !!

    All of the above quotes are true. I haven't set foot in Kuta for more than 30 minutes on the last 5 visits. There is far more to the island than Kuta, the balinese are really a beautiful and kind people.
