    Qantas reforms policy, no more points cancellation after passing

    So QF will cancel the account if you are dead but they will also cancel the account if you don't tell them you are dead. But I signed the T&C's so I'm the individual bound by these T&C's. But if I'm dead, I can't contact QF and let them know. I will make my Mrs sign an NDA about my death. So...

    Qantas reforms policy, no more points cancellation after passing

    I have specific instructions for my wife to NEVER tell QF of my passing and then use/transfer all my points. I hope to be the oldest QFF on QF's database ever! I'm not sure why anyone would ever tell QF of someone's passing.

    Credit Card Offers Qantas Premier Titanium: 150,000 bonus Qantas Points

    Its not ideal and does make things complicated when tax times comes around. Like any legal case, you will need good supporting documents for all your business expenses.

    Air India rebranding

    Not wanting to sound disrespectful but this new livery looks like a small child was given the job and it doesn't appeal to me at all. Then again, I'm probably not their target audience. Would be nice to hear what an Indian person thinks.

    Newbie cruise questions (generic)

    1. Discussed previously but what I've done pricing, I can get it cheaper. 2. Departing from AUS, I normally fly in early AM for a 4pm+ cast off. Have found this works for me. 3. Plenty of excursions that I am not interested in so I select what I like and PAYG. 4. Yes I have before. I just...

    AFF Review: Jetstar 787-8 Business Class (SYD-ICN)

    I think that JQ J is perfectly fine (and good value) if you go in with the correct expectations. We flew JQ J from MEL - DPS and it was perfectly fine.

    Virgin Australia Boeing 737 Max 8

    Just read this article - https://www.executivetraveller.com/news/virgin-australia-boeing-737-max-business-economy-class-review These adopt a more cavernous design allowing “capacity to stow up to 50 per cent more carry-on baggage” – sufficient to accommodate one standard-sized carry-on bag for...

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    My kids always ordered from the standard menu. Not really interested in the kids menu. Maybe my kids are spoilt :)

    Similarly, those who don't know how to zip-merge. One car from the left and then one from the right into a single lane. In addition, those who don't know how to enter a flowing freeway. Get up to 110kmph and simple slide into a suitable space. Don't stop at the enterance of the freeway and hope...

    What cheeses me off

    Good old Australia Post again. Sending a package from ADL to SYD. Its taken over a week and when I look at the tracking I was disappointed once again - ADL - SYD (3 days) - MEL - SYD Their processing software is clearly problematic and its costing fuel, money and time.

    What cheeses me off

    What cheeses me off..... When you buy a large packet of chips at the supermarket and you open it and its 50% sealed air. I know its all about marketing etc etc but why don't they make the bag 10% larger than the contents and save a couple of $0.01 on every packet. Same just happened with my...

    Sam Chui gets Starlux into trouble

    You may disagree but I like the guy. I believe that he has his pilots licence as well so that may mean that its easier for him to access restricted areas (I'm no expert). He gets viewers into places we can't go. Sure the airlines suck-up to him but he doesn't obfuscate this. Yes I also watch...

    What is the greatest airline lounge in the world?

    The care package you get from Qantas when your luggage is delayed overnight

    Has changed from a few years ago when I received QF shorts and matching short sleeve t-shirt (in QF Business Class PJ light grey) with other toiletries for delayed luggage into QLD.
