I did a round trip on this route last month, and on the outbound leg had a completely full flight on the lower deck at least, as on the previous day CHC had been closed for most of the day due to severe winds, leading to mass cancellations. QF ran an A330 on SYD-CHC to clear their backlog that...

I thought for a second that this route must have had an increase in service to daily, but from what I can see this route is still only 4x weekly, dropping to 3x weekly for a few weeks during December/January. Not overly competitive to QF having a minimum of 2x daily flights on this route, every...

If you buy the Bunnings gift cards that are being sold at Coles as part of this offer, they have no PIN and can only be used in store. However these cards are also only single use, so if you make a purchase for a value less than the total of the card, they'll issue you a new physical gift card...

I booked a ticket in 'premium economy' in PAL on an A330 for a 4 hour long flight last month, which cost roughly double what they were charging for standard economy class, after reading positive reviews online about this product, which according to their own website includes amenities such as...

Well according to the 'Qantas spokesperson' quoted in this article, residents of Bendigo are not the target market for the flights that operate there: https://www.bendigoadvertiser.com.au/story/9057674/qantas-will-massively-change-bendigo-to-sydney-flight-schedule/

I found whilst travelling around Java recently that Indomaret stores would invariably accept cards, however all had a minimum of 50k IDR for card transactions, which is roughly equivalent to $5 AUD. That might not sound like a big deal, except that with the low prices of most items in...

I note from this article in the ABC today that they're suggesting for affected staff to continue residing where they do now, and commute to work in MEL/SYD/BNE: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-01/qantaslink-closure-staff-bases-canberra-hobart-mildura/105839248 Is this common in Australia...

I'd recommend using the CBR - SYD service with some trepidation: There's been 3 days of scheduled trackwork on this line, but trains were meant to start running commencing with tonight's evening services. Unfortunately they posted this alert for both the inbound CBR - SYD and outbound SYD -...

QF1278 during the week, which is the 3:55pm MEL - CBR service: Only one option offered (tandoori chicken pie), which tasted okay but would have been better if sauce was provided. I wasn't expecting a lot given the flight duration and time of day, but was still a little bit underwhelmed...

I've noticed with the merchant category based cards they sell that you can convert to a digital card for use in a smartphone wallet, e.g. the TCN Restaurant and Good Food cards, that as per the BIN code and the card T&Cs that appear when you add it to a digital wallet, the 'new' digital card is...

I haven't had much trouble with either the Restaurant Choice or TCN Restaurant cards not being accepted. If it helps anybody with remaining balances, two fast food chains where I have had no problems with doing split payments at multiple locations have been Hungry Jacks and Grill'd. I tend to...

The link works for me at www.colesmastercardbalance.com.au however it doesn't seem to work without the 'www.' at the beginning of the URL. And that domain name presently redirects to www.mybalancenow.com which is the actual balance check site.

I'd like a couple more destinations out of CBR, perhaps HBA and CNS.

Good news, although the first class passes will be missed: https://transportnsw.info/news/2025/3-6-month-economy-discovery-passes-return-from-14-july

According to this video, it's an option at Busselton to walk 3km from the terminal along a highway without a footpath to a school in a nearby suburb, then if you're lucky like he was, the driver of a school bus full of children might let you board: I'm not planning on trying that one myself.

Not specifically related to the title of this thread, but the NSW Government has announced free travel on the entire rail network on Thursday July 31st and Friday August 1st: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-06/two-days-free-train-travel-nsw-governmnet-unions-sign-pay-deal/105497770 I've...

I was watching a video on YouTube the other day about several routes out of Philadelphia that American Airlines serves using buses departing generally from the airside of the airport (see the applicable part of the AA website), and it was mentioned that tickets on these 'flights' are extremely...

There was recently a debate in state parliament relating to the removal of 3 and 6 month Discovery Passes, as well as some subsequent news coverage: https://www.netimes.com.au/2025/06/20/discovery-rail-passes-quietly-disappear-in-review/...

I was on VH-EBV last night and it was still out of action, unless it was a coincidence. I assume that in a heavily stretched fleet, a broken Wi-Fi system would be a low priority fault to fix.

I would have imagined that for unscheduled diversions to WSI after curfew, the expectation would be for the airline to arrange chartered transport (e.g. buses) to take the effected passengers to their booked destination of SYD, after which it would be their own problem to arrange onward...
