    ACCC action re cancelled Qantas flights

    What is the process for determining who is going to get some of the $$? I'd like to think my 2023 BNE-LAX flight would qualify but don't know where to start to join the queue.

    SIA/VA Points and Status Credits

    On an upcoming SQ booking I'm using my KF number in the booking. For lounge access I'm assuming I can show my VA Gold card via the app in conjunction with my SQ boarding pass. Or do I have to also have the VA number on the booking and forgo the wifi access?

    Apple Airtags

    first time I secured my airtags in with the spare wheel and dropped in behind the side wall cavity. it was amazing how quickly it came around to needing to replace the battery. now it's just under some felt under the wheel which is secured in place and under the cargo area flooring.

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    I could not confirm and book by my October USA trip during the recent DSC. The itin pricing through QF promotion was $3,200. Booked the same 4 flights today through AA for $1,487. QF price is now >$3,200. Kind of a DSC getting SC for half the price.

    Flying in/out of The Stans

    My friend is joining a ground tour through The Stans in May 2024. It's a new area for me offering some opinions on flights. What would be the best way in terms of price to get from BKK into FRU 26 May and TAS to DXB 20 Jun? (I'm thinking BKK-Amalty then a more local airline FRU/TAS.)

    The FR24 appreciation thread

    Using the playback on FR24 you can see the two different sources of data that FR24 are using. One is ADS-B and one is Australian Radar, both having different ICAO addresses. My guess is that there has been an equipment swap from one aircraft to the other to cover an unserviceability. Codes and...

    How to follow-up for missing 7-11 bonus points

    Where do I start with following up for some bonus points due from 7-11 purchases last month? The qualifying purchase had come within 24 hours. There was a 7-11 sign-on bonus that posted at the same time but the 500 pts for in-store purchase didn't post. Where can I make a low effort...

    I recall a household aircon system that we had in Townsville. It had a mode designed to lower consumption during the night as a sleeping body can tolerate a higher room temperature. Then a few years later I came across this in a Milan hotel, room was great before going to bed but we were all...
