    Unused QC pro-rata refund?

    I got my pro-rata refund in the last few years. I likewise achieved LTG just prior to the pandemic, so decided to claim what little was left back. I can't recall the exact process, but they just needed me to write it out in a stat dec and then get it witnessed and send that in.

    Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

    With no curfew I can't imagine it'll be long before there's significant interest. If the transport connections are operational from day one and not much longer (time-wise) than existing from SYD then I think the choice will be simple and rapid expansion will occur. I'm sure many will disagree...

    Amex Centurion Card eligibility in Australia

    Diverting from the topic, but has happened to me at Sofitel Adelaide a couple times. I no longer carry the physical card on me but do have the numbers stored and a digital version. Usually they begrudgingly accept that... and so they should. Probably a discussion for the hotel category though.

    Rockfords discussion

    I've had two experiences. The last Tasting Australia I roamed through their gardens and while it was canapes, it was actually quite nice. I certainly didn't feel hungry at the end. I did BVF another year where I dined in the barrel hall that often featured in @Buzzard's tours to Rockford...

    Qantas “The Best in the World “ according to Alan Joyce [in 2012]

    He wouldn't be a good chief executive if all he did was say their product was inferior to everyone elses :rolleyes:

    Qatar partnership with Accor + status fast-track

    Makes sense, otherwise that would be a glaring loophole allowing multiple statuses.

    How do you store your wine [+ Fridge/Cabinet recommendations]

    I still have them too! Only, they're unused in the garage. They did well for me for many years. Thank you! 🙏 The new racks are made by Wine Rack Sydney Supplier Locally and widely with online shopping - it's a clunky website, but they can custom make as well. So I wanted all mine to be the...

    How do you store your wine [+ Fridge/Cabinet recommendations]

    I've recently change how I store my wine. I was using a large Vintec for the good stuff and racks on the wall (but not terribly temperature controlled) for the other stuff. This wasn't going to work going forward, so I renovated a space, added a separate AC and tarted it up. There's more to show...

    Building a Home

    Figured I should post an update as I've made a few small changes after living in the house for a bit. First one I want to highlight is how I store my wine, as someone pointed out they thought the temp would fluctuate too much where I had originally envisaged it, and it was hard (and expensive)...

    QF6012 - A380 taking off & then landing in Sydney - what's this?

    Can't imagine the bill in terms of crew hours, landing fees, fuel... for 15 minutes (or so) of A380 air time!!

    How do you store your wine [+ Fridge/Cabinet recommendations]

    Your issue is really the space between shelves. If it's designed for bordeaux style, the shelves wont have enough space between them to comfortably slide with bottles laying on them if you have any bottle size that is bigger than bordeaux. And there are many wines that have weird and wonderful...

    Solar Panel, Power & Battery Discussion

    I used to use that but never had a system that easily output to it, and manual entry got old fast. Been a while since I posted here, but figure an update is well past due. I eventually upgraded my system from 6.6 to 13.2 with a 10kW inverter. I don't seem to have an export control issue at the...

    Rockfords discussion

    By the way, did I read somewhere that you're taking 8 to a future Stonewall lunch? Is this because you're an original member/a case of two tiers of membership, or is another Stonewaller providing the other half of the guest spots? /jealous!

    AFF Gathering #15 in NTL on 21 – 23 October 2022

    I caught the bus back into town and went for a walk back to the QT for a few drinks and some delicious food, then by the time I managed to get back to the airport I was very surprised to bump into @Hvr, @serfty and @FishFood who as you now know, had been delayed. No such issue with my flight...
