Perhaps in reference to the bin# of the wine the pax would like to see on the in-flight menu?

LOL Unfortunately for Mrs NM's trip, credit card TI is not available.

wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a checkbox for each category in the policy, then I could deselect rental car cover for trips where I am not renting a car (as an example). Taylor the cover to match the risk/trip.

This topic was recently addressed (briefly) in the Ask The Pilot thread: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/ask-the-pilot.30478/post-2927811 The chance of space debris impacting at aircraft at 35,000 feet is about the same as the chance of that same debris not hitting...

Just checking for a NZ trip for Mrs NM early 2026, and Qantas was cheaper than most other insurers I checked, by 1.5% to 16.9%. However, the flexibility to customise benefits/cover amounts to meet the needs of this specific trip resulted in my Home/Contents/Car insurance provider coming in about...

Not sure anyone would want to be patting down my socks after a long day trekking around, and certainly would not want me removing my socks for a separate run through the machines ... :eek:

"Soft Opening" to verify all the technology, processes and staff training is working and functioning correctly before announcing to the press, perhaps?

By the way, the flight has just landed at LAX. Arrival is at TBIT

That would be the WWE promoters and associated businesses.

Have to wonder if our parliamentary leaders had their mobile phone numbers compromised in the QF data leak? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-14/anthony-albanese-mobile-phone-number-available-online/105889284 PS. Yes, I know it is totally unrelated, but was interesting reading that news...

Years ago, in Santa Cruz (CA), I was walking with a colleague back to our hotel from a restaurant after dinner. A police car pulled up along side and told us to get in. Apparently we were walking through an area that was "not recommended" for people of our "appearance". We arrived back at our...
