    When is it all to much - Flying and Chasing Status

    This year my family and I would have had enough flying for me to keep QF Gold again, but have now shifted to cheapest fares as I'm training for my PPL. Which means status will no longer apply as I'll be doing all our domestic flying by me.

    A punk feeling lucky - retain silver for 220?

    I would say Yes, you are lucky! My daughter had 3 years in a row attaining and maintaining silver and the 2 most recent years only made 240SC and no joy for her.

    Strange reasons for flight delays

    Mine was April this year HKG-PVG on Cathay Dragon. Firstly announced catering delays, 20 minutes later the flight attendants turned up :confused: not sure about eating the crew? 30 minutes later announced that there was a technical issue and a part was on its way. 40 minutes after this it was...

    How long did it take you to get your desired points?

    For me it used to be 3xMel-LAX in J 576K points, but then could never redeem that many seats, so then it was just buy semi flex Y fares and upgrade domestically. Then used points for a bunch of ASA's to get to platinum which lasted two years. Then QF was looking shaky a few years ago, in this...

    Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

    I took up two of these, seems to be a good deal. A few quaffers a couple to drink and enjoy, then the Grant Burge to lay down. Has anybody noticed that you change your nearest store location and the price can change quite dramatically as an example look up Penfolds bin 389, choose for example...

    Qantas on hold and call backs

    Two weeks ago was on hold for 48 mins, finally answered and reward seats were gone :mad:. Called back with new routing 3 days later opted for call back... 3 hours later got called back, then 45 minutes on the phone marginal result but done. Not the best experience.

    Where did I get robbed?

    I understand wholeheartedly your point to a degree, but for me its never been about the best exchange rate, I usually choose the changer close to the Hotel as the exchange rate offered in house is a blatant rip off 8-12% difference. That makes a difference over 8 x 6-10 day trips, I'd be close...

    Where did I get robbed?

    Happened to me in April, Ive been 7 times before and never had a problem as I only change $100 per visit.... This time I needed more for a large purchase so changed $100, all good then proceeded to foolishly change $500 more. We nutted out the total figure which resulted in 'more' money being...

    Sofitel Melbourne - Club Lounge

    Yes as mentioned 5pm to 7pm. My favourite place on a stay in Melbourne when not venturing out. Daughter in the TV room with movies, and a Jamaican rum by the fire with SWMBO.
