It's getting worse and worse, even when I got into it around 2019 or something, CCs were undergoing massive reduction in points earned for spending, so it's always getting worse. Ultimately, the frequent flyer programmes of airlines are the biggest profit centres, so it's up to them to figure...

It's quite fun and a bit of a novel experience, so I highly recommend it. However I think Uber is actually cheaper as they are trying to undercut waymo (who are still losing money and aren't able to achieve profitability). For sure these cars are insanely safe and drive very defensively, which...

There's not really enough competition to drop prices. I was on some United flights SYD - SFO for work trip, quite a few empty seats, but tickets were far from cheap. I see airlines downgrading to dreamliners or even a330s if they have any on US routes.

At last, people will finally realise that T1 Is less crowded and any establishment will have better food than the Qantas J lounge. Hot take but that lounge is so bad it really didn't add any value, people just went there simply "just because" they could. Sure you might have to pay $30 for a...

Serbia is hands down the second best country I've visited in Europe (after Spain). The best coffee, amazing amount of craft beer breweries, more meat than one can handle (no pun intended), but also plenty of nature in the countryside. Belgrade is also much safer and cleaner than any city in...

Damn

I think everyone knows PE is the biggest profit generator... because it's horrendous value for money. Just the inverse, is all.

I added it on mine, but it's limited to $25 per card. I initially thought they meant per single bill at a restaurant, but no - the entire promotion is just a $25 discount, wow big whoop - not worth all the fuss, basically just a minor discount on one or two dinners given the price of things...

After ww2 (nevermind how hard it was before), it took 6 stops and a crew ratio of 1:3 to make this route. Every time they reduced the number of stops, you could have said the very same thing, and yet somehow they made it work. I suppose the argument is, much the same, they can make it work now...

Due to the tariff wars, Chinese carriers aren't accepting any Boeing planes at the moment. Riyadh Air, who does need a lot of planes is offering to scoop them up. Definitely an advantageous opportunity for them due to the current state of affairs...

I'm sure they will immediately be picked up by the ME3, if not Riyadh. Otherwise, bad news for Qantas, their capacity issues are getting worse.

Just wondering what would be the course of action if you can book reward seats between SYD and DOH for example, can you book the final leg return economy and do self transfer? Do you go to the transfer desk?

Sort of in line with the citi changes (also owned by NAB). 30 days is ridiculous though, many people are going on travel trips over 30 days, especially if you combine work and holiday travel. Won't be using NAB for any holiday transactions that's for sure.

Gold for me.

Fake news. I fly all the time, and I've only once seen the coughpy bettys burgers, they were tiny little sliders which were 80% bread. Pure PR nonsense, nothing of substance. There has actually been a significant degradation in food quality in the last 6 months I feel. It was mediocre before...

The lounge itself is actually super nice, just the food sucks - but that's not an Adelaide specific problem, all VA lounges have the most basic slop (though still beats qantas flagship sydney international business lounge). I also don't know what's happened with the big mugs for coffee, they...

This is a total guess based on nothing, but I think this is based on your spend, so the more you use it, I suspect the more likely they are to refund the annual fee.

Just out of curiosity, are you spending much on the card itself or not really and just holding onto it? I'm trying to think what the reason could be, I suspect it must have something to do with engagement either in their special offers, spending - some combination of these things.

Can you explain why? I have always flown JQ before I became a VA status holder, and now with them not offering good value for international travelers, I am looking to go back to JQ. JQ ironically usually has the newest aircraft in the Qantas group, and the new 321s and neos will have a lot of...

Yes, my flights (the ones I searched) are in June, after the 12th. For example, 13th to 25th of June SYD - AMS. Would you mind showing me a screenshot of where you see the discount? I don't even know what/where to look for, but the final step before buying the prices are the same to me...
