    Up down and around a bit in South West W.A

    Good sunsets and weather. Has Kalbarri township recovered from the storms of a few years ago? They lost quite a few public buildings and accommodation options.

    RTW in F/J - Hand Carry Only - Iceland, Finland, Washington and a few other places

    Sounds like a great trip and good use of points. Interested in the July (I take it this wasn't because bought in July) carry-on and considering the temp differences the allocation of clothing i.e. warm, cool, tops, pants.

    Qantas Customer Remediation Program

    Received $225 x 2 for cancelled domestic flights, which was a surprise. Still $400 short from covid time cancellations.

    Article: Why I Started Collecting Frequent Flyer Points

    Good article and brings back many memories. I travelled and worked elsewhere when young and have enjoyed travelling ever since. It left me with a dislike of organised "tours" unless in places remote and significantly culturally different. With my partner we travelled frequently, unaware of...

    Careful around DB (Deutsche Bahn)

    When our train was diverted and obviously going to be very late all passengers were handed out a claim form which I gave to the Customer service when we arrived. Didn't hear anything for 2 months and then a letter arrived with lots of instructions around further information required. Rather...

    Careful around DB (Deutsche Bahn)

    Yes, we had to rely on the kindness of a young couple who helped us and bags off the train and onto the suburban train (no booked seats) into the city. It seems the Hamburg/Berlin line is a problem, currently undergoing maintenance. We were travelling out of peak season so probably less...

    Careful around DB (Deutsche Bahn)

    Agree, some of ours were ok. And the one where there was a problem, Leipzig to Hamburg via Berlin was rerouted on track via Hannover with no change of train until Hamburg suburban station. It just wasn't the easy travel of years ago in contrast to Norway.

    Careful around DB (Deutsche Bahn)

    Not sure about this but I think there is a class of ticket on DB that allows for flexibility on which train is used on the day. However, the rail infrastructure is a mess and depending on the route, flying might be the better option. Might as in Frankfurt airport can also be a headache: last...

    Careful around DB (Deutsche Bahn)

    The app does let you know but is sometimes late with notifications. We didn't get one for a platform change; this was flashed on the board in German and we didn't translate until too late. Subsequently was given by the customer service centre a replacement 2nd class ticket, no booked seat...

    The Master SQ Guide (Krisflyer, Waitlists & Waitlists Clearing)

    Not sure if this is the right thread for the question but would appreciate advices. We flew from Munich to Bangkok on Thai beginning of June and credited miles to Krisflyer FF. However, they haven't been posted on the SIA account. Do I have to follow up with SIA or Thai and how do I do this.

    Careful around DB (Deutsche Bahn)

    I made a claim on the DB website for the over 4 hour delayed train, no other costs involved, and received approx aud $51 refund. Would rather the trains were reliable but at least they are acknowledging the problem

    Careful around DB (Deutsche Bahn)

    Yes, we've been using them in Denmark and Norway and so far haven't had the hassles.

    Careful around DB (Deutsche Bahn)

    Yes, as others have noted and we've been told, it's a lack of investment in infrastructure over the past years. There is the opportunity to claim compensation if over certain time as with the ECU regulations. We also had last minute platform changes - if you can't read German download a good...

    Careful around DB (Deutsche Bahn)

    We've used DB in the past and it's been a great way to travel. However, it currently doesn't seem to be working well. Had 1st class with seating booked from Leipzig to Hamburg, train goes via Berlin. Went well to Berlin and then informed by announcement, in Deutsch on the train, the Berlin to...

    Article: Great Value Turkish Airlines Round-the-World Fares

    We travelled in J from Singapore to Madrid return with transits at Istanbul. Flight was good, food was excellent with plenty of flavour. The new Istanbul airport is vast and a stopover is probably the best way to go and Istanbul is a beautiful city.
