    Nothing to complain about the flight. Leg room reasonable. Fellow passengers well-behaved.

    Bali, Britain, Spain & Safari

    I don't have QF status (though have OWS via IB currently) but we were able to access the QF J lounge with QC (earned via PC+). Qf is unusually generous by internatioanl standards in allowing children in as free extra guests. I travel a reasonable amount so the SYD J lounge is fairly ho-hum but...

    Bali, Britain, Spain & Safari

    This type of trip is not for everyone. Most of our friends thought we were bonkers to take so many flights and stop at so many places along the way. I can only do so many days sitting on the beach though and do like to see new places and (funny enough) I do love getting on a plane. The fabulous...

    Bali, Britain, Spain & Safari

    I've been lucky enough to go on safari twice already (Hwange on a rugby tours in 1995 and Tsavo/Masai Mara in 2001 for our honeymoon) and I've been hankering to do another. The backbone of the trip came when I found Y QF award availability x5 for AMS-JNB on KLM (CDG-JNB on AF was also...

    Bali, Britain, Spain & Safari

    Like many Australian migrants, trips back to the homeland are tricky. You want to see the family you've left behind but you also need a holiday yourself. After our first few years of staying at people's homes, usually while they were still living their normal lives, we worked out that it would...

    Bali, Britain, Spain & Safari

    Many of the AFF TRs focus on premium cabins (which I love to use when I can) but for many points collectors with families, having enough points then finding J availability is next to impossible. On top of that everything x4+ becomes expensive. I'm a long way from the breadline but do have a...

    Woolworths gift card thread

    I avoid buying any cards tied to a store (or groups of stores) where the value exceeds the anticipated transaction. Small balances on generic spend ones can always be offloaded at supermarket. Bunnings ones are OK as they can easily be used in part payment.

    Coles Mastercard - new system transition

    I spent an inordinate amount of time sorting out mrsandye's login (not helped by her Flybuys being linked to a defunct email address) yesterday. Eventually sorted though by linking Flybuys, then Coles site to a new email address then linking the card.
