I didn't receive an email but it is there on the awards site. I just did a transfer and the points (with bonus) arrived in my VA account immediately.

CBA currently has a 15% bonus when transferring CBA Awards points to Virgin Australia.

Not yet. I'll let you know.

My sign-on experience: On Sunday night I filled in the application on my phone. No proof of income (I'm a self-funded retiree). Cards arrived by courier early Tuesday morning. Very classy packaging. Amex travel has surprised me with some great prices for long-haul Business and First. Domestic...

I have a CBA Ultimate Awards Mastercard and the insurance provided with that card doesn't mention return trips etc. This is important to me because although I live in Australia I spend so much time in Europe I purchase my return trips from EU to Aus and rtn rather than the other way around...

I'm thinking about the Amex card that offers up to 20% discount on business and first class fares booked through Amex Platinum Travel. What are people's experience with this? I usually fly Business Star Alliance several times a year, booking direct with the airlines. How would this compare with...

Last week I flew SYD-ADL-SYD. SYD to ADL the order was 2DF, 2AC, 1AC, 1DF ADL to SYD the order was 1AC, 1DF, 2AC, 2DF Both flights ran out of preferred choices and they seemed to have only the exact number of meals required. Everything else was pretty good but this budget conscious approach to...

I have a covermore policy and recently contracted covid while travelling in Italy. I’m now fully recovered and back on the road. I incurred about an extra 10 days accomodation, meals etc and had to cancel and rebook (at short notice) replacement flights yet I chose not to claim on the policy...

That's been the Australian government's approach since the beginning.

Yep. It would show up in the PCR for up to 3 months. Bit of a bummer if you're trying to get home and find out just before your flight that you've tested positive.

I live in Lake Macquarie and currently won't be able to travel to Wyong (10 Km away) until 1 November. It's a pretty big jump to think they will allow travel to London on the same day - but I hope they do!

Hold my beer. This is a photo taken from my hotel in Tbilisi Georgia a few years back.

I had saved up enough miles to fly the whole family business class to Hayman Island and a week there in the resort. AN went broke 2 days before the trip. :(

As much as I hate their systems, consider transferring to TK and earn Gold there before losing your OZ gold. They have similar levels needed to reach*A Gold, family pooling and an extensive European network. Their process for redemptions is slowly getting better. Unfortunately no lifetime Gold...

FRA is as unpredictable as it is confusing. Your Schengen flight can easily end up parked at a distant ramp spot requiring a bus to get you to the terminal. The plus to that is at least the bus drops you close to the centre of the applicable terminal and not at an end gate. The signs can be...
