    2026 travel plans

    Well, it's not so much a plan as a done deal. I've burnt the last of my QFF points on CBR-CGK-CBR in J, and then booked 2 x CGK-TPE R/T's in J on CX in February. I do like TPE (CGK not so much) and this trip will get me to WP again for 2027 (assuming Qantas don't shift the goalposts, as they...

    U Classic Reward - Downgraded with 24 hours notice

    Yes indeed. However, my experience with UA has been somewhat different. Quite a few years ago my son and I were flying SYD-LAX on a 747. We were ticketed in Y and were upgraded to J at check in. Very nice I thought. Then, when seated in J, a FA came up to me and said you've now been upgraded...

    Optus new $50 SIM only with roaming

    Optus prepaid has a 7 day, 7gb $35 option which I prefer to a daily $5. Isn't that the same thing? 7x5=35?

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Email from Qantas has just landed: it looks like a full house of possible data that was stolen. Nice to know they've got my best interests at heart. When's the class action commencing?

    Article: Live Music in the Qantas Club

    What makes you think that it's an improvement? And a "C" grade band doesn't sound that great. If you're going to have live music, why not light classical, by a professional ensemble. That would go down better perhaps. But the best solution, IMO, is not to have live music at all. Saves money and...

    Article: Live Music in the Qantas Club

    Perhaps Qantas should be spending the money (and more) on improving the security of their (and their contractors') data systems, amongst other things, like decent food. I can't imagine why they have done this, I just hope it can't be heard in the business lounge. Surely not a vote winner for...

    Good News! Pyjamas on (almost) all Qantas international flights in J!

    Indeed. The only ones I wear (and that's at home, not on planes) are the Armani PJs from Etihad first. My wardrobe is overflowing with lesser ones (that I haven't been able to give away) from other airlines (eg Qantas).

    I'm over (most) lounges

    Yes, I'm sure that's true. However, as far as I'm concerned, I'd prefer, generally, to be in a lounge rather than be outside in the public areas. I have a reasonable tolerance to background noise, etc and as long as I can get a seat and a coffee or beer or whatever, I'm usually happy. This is...

    Credit Card Offers Bankwest Qantas Platinum Offers & Discussion

    Yes, certain airlines which they seem to think have a higher level of fraudulent transactions. In my case, Bankwest declined all my payment transactions with CX, so I rang them up and asked what was going on. I was informed that, yes, CX transactions were blacklisted and automatically declined...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    Of course they're not. If they were they'd open the upper floor in SYD. It's all about short-term money and why would they care about lounge crowding. People will still book and go there. Ever tried getting a seat in the BNE QF Pub, for example?

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    Well, as I've probably said before, Virgin/Velocity is now a dead duck to me. I'll continue to fly them, when it suits (as will my family) in basic Y, but all of our serious travel will be with Qantas, where I'll maintain my Platinum status. If this is what the American owners/managers intended...

    Credit Card Offers Bankwest Qantas Platinum Offers & Discussion

    Bankwest is quite strange. It declines many of my online transactions with airlines So, needless to say, I no longer use them for this purpose.

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    Flew PER-SYD yesterday in row 3 with the new config, and decided that row 4 is better in this scenario. When row 2 reclines into your face, it's not a good place to be.

    Virgin Australia Lounge Adelaide so sad so basic

    Never had a problem with the ADL fast track security. Was there a couple of weeks ago flying SQ ADL-SIN, having to go through 2 sets of security systems and not a problem. But I could reel of dozens of airports around the world where they are much more finicky.
