You can sign up with Historic Scotland, either an annual membership or Explorer Pass, depending on the value you perceive, and get entry to various places and discounts on parking and gifts shops. Provides some discounts at Heritage England places too. Another member (such as me 😇) could buy...

There’s a whole thread for that…🧐 https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/grammar-discussions.59936/unread

We are driving London to York to Edinburgh in May. Will be direct London to York, but might do some detours to Edinburgh. Can try to provide some feedback after if I remember and ours not too late.

And that’s a lot of heavy rain…

Lots of power out across GC and now into Bayside area.

The way QF still treats its customers these days, they probably changed the brand of toilet paper in the Lounge and called it a Refurbishment ;)😆

Ah right. I was looking through the version on Wallet on iPhone.

How does it work with Virtual cards when a CVV is needed on a payment portal?

Yes, exactly. I was (fortunate) to be north of both Larry and Yasi, and the winds were actually blowing from the south, and then from the west for most of the time once they got close to the coast and crossed the coast. Without the eye over water, it should dissipate fairly quickly, however...

Perhaps not entirely true. (Let me explain my reasoning.) Sure, while the most intense winds are at the eye (but not in the eye.. it's calm in the eye...), the red line shows the "Destructive Winds" area, and it easily reaches well into the suburbs before the eye arrives. So depending how slow...

I can feel another court case coming on... 🤣

The joke going around town (Cairns) is that Brisbane will get the cyclone but we’ll still cop the Insurance price hike to compensate. I’m already paying $5.5k p.a. for home & contents, so I’m hoping the thought only remains a joke.

I’ve been saying to my family in BNE that power outage for a couple days is probably the most likely outcome. BNE cops plenty of severe thunderstorms that are probably worse than this cyclone will be, but they pass through very quickly. If it remains a higher Category 2 when it nears the...

You can view historical Cyclone tracks at BOM here: http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/tropical-cyclone-knowledge-centre/history/tracks/ Brisbane is not immune to cyclones... just not as common an occurrence as locations further north.

Here's a link to the Cairns Airport Cyclone Management plan. Cyclone Plan » Cairns Airport I would assume Gold Coast and Brisbane airports would have similar. It will give you an idea of when things start shutting down and when they allow the airlines to fly back in. In Cairns, they start...

The US Navy Joint Typhoon Warning Centre, I find, has better long terms forecasts for Cyclones... they are currently showing it dropping down to 45 knots Wednesday and 35 knots before it crosses the coast, so I think that is barely a Category 1. It will still mean some disruption to airport...

You may find the airport may even close for a time. Once a Warning (after the “Watch” period) kicks in, the airports will enact their management plans and start preparations to shutdown. Watch is issued 48 hours before. Warning is 24 hours before. Won’t re-open until the cyclone has passed...

Will the staff know their age unless you tell them…? “I’m guesting my partner and two children…”. Sure, wouldn’t suggest you lie if they ask for their ages.

Thanks. Very useful info there and good suggestions.

This is why some call it “security theatre”… just for show and all the drama.
