    I flew Qr Adl-Mel-Doh in late May...got Q suites but not the caviar service. Not great news if you didnt get the Q suites as expected!

    AFF Point Valuations

    Another point I thought off....KrisFlyer gets marked down because of the 3 year hard expiry. If you are redeeming regularly or only TF into KF account when you are about to book an award, the 3 year expiry is not an issue. Also if you are PPS, there is no expiry of miles! In terms of KrisFlyer...

    AFF Point Valuations

    Well done. Whether you agree or not with the methodology used, this analysis involved a lot of work and you explained how you calculated the values so very well done. I'm a bit surprised by the (under) valuing of KrisFlyer but Wilson does explain this. At the end of the day, the wise approach is...

    Physical currency exchange

    I'm going to Timor Leste next month and the currency there is USD....apparently they hardly use cards there so I need US$ cash preferably in smaller denominations apart from $100 bills. Anyone in Sydney wanting to get rid of their US$ leftovers (at xe.com rates) or alternatively where is the...

    What border officials know about you

    How are about TRS claims? Last Friday I claimed the GST back on a $1500+ camera in Mel. About 20 hours later I returned to Mel and ticked yes that I had duty free goods over my $900 limit...the officer asked what I was declaring, told him, he seemed surprised I declared it (bet you most don't...

    (annoying) visa questions

    We did Schengen to Non Schengen at Hel around 11pm in April...took about 20 mins walking at normal pace including no Q at immigration. There was no security check.

    Influencers… influencers everywhere!

    IMHO influencers only make money by "inflencees" following them and clicking on their social media account. Unfortunately, corporations are now rewarding influencers (by paying them directly or indirectly) with large number of "influencees" to flog their products / services!
