No doubt there'll be hell to pay if this is the case....

I bought a dozen. Pretty good deal. Let's hope the wine is reasonable too!

I've been really happy with my High Sierra wheelie backpack (see photo), which I've had for several years, It accompanies me on my travels, except possibly when I'm flying an ultra LCC such as Jetstar, when size/weight becomes a major issue (it weighs about 2 kg). I never take hold baggage with...

Yes, I've done something like that ex CBR. Quite civilised really with the buses from NTL. I stayed at the Fern Bay motel, which has a quite good bus service from/to the airport, as well as to Stockton (for the Ferry to Newcastle) and buses to the city as well. Also, the motel provides a free...

Well, as it turned out, the flight into PQQ was late, so I only had half an hour to wait (in the quite comfortable departure lounge) for the 341 bus. Cost all of $1.60 to Settlement City. Caught the 341 back to the airport the following day, as the schedule was convenient for my flight to BNE...

I was in the Sydney Business Lounge yesterday afternoon and was rather surprised to see that the enhanced away towels were back. As you can see from the photos, it was a rather crude presentation, just rip open the packet, leave it and go. They weren't there the day before and I have no idea if...

I'd rather just spend my money on buying wine. But YMMV.

As a retired person, the Qantas option is the obvious one. You may sneer at "status runs", but in my case they can actually be combined with going where you want to go. It's really just about maximising the benefits from your desired trips. YMMV.

"Operated" is an interesting word in this context.

I'm off to PQQ later this week on a QF Dash-8. I'd like to take the public bus into town, but it only goes every 2 hours, so I'd have to wait an hour. Not going to do that, so I plan to use Didi. On my way back, I'll use the bus, as the schedule is more convenient to my departure ex PQQ.

I'm not sure I would call paying $50 tokenistic.

Yeah, I guess CGK and MNL aren't worth bothering with. But what would I know?

But is it simpler than QFF? I know what I think.

I think the point might be, who wants to get to Adelaide (or anywhere else) around 9 pm (unless you have no choice)? So how about comparing flights at 7 am?

One wonders what happened to the people who booked JQ business class.

Ah yes, they do that.

I like to offload my GBP cash at Tescos. No one bats an eyelid.

If the new owners turn out to be the American aircraft scrap merchants widely touted, then I wouldn't fancy your chances.

Doesn't bode well for JQ7.

I'd be well into Qantas GFL now, if it wasn't my preference for Ansett (much to my boss's annoyance) way back when. Instead, I ended up with lifetime Star Gold, courtesy of my UA MP lifetime Plat membership. Who was to know about 9/11?
