    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    Probably will, although I have a shipload of points already and with the lack of CR availability I'm not finding double points particularly exciting either.

    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    It did for me. I had a couple of Amex credits expiring so decided to cash them in during the sale. Since reaching LTG I find DSC to be far less attractive (unlikely to reach WP) although I might pick up a couple of vouchers.

    Cash or Card? Countries where you still need cash.

    Do the test with the card you use the least?

    Article: Airlines, Please Stop Selling Ridiculously Tight Connections

    Slightly OT but some years ago we were flying from OKA (Okinawa) to cough (Fukuoka). We arrived in ample time only to find that check-in and security were a zoo. Main problem was dozens of school kids (you know, removing batteries from their check-in bags, having stuff in their carry-on that...

    AFF Gathering #18 in MEL on 21-23 November 2025

    @AFF Editor any ideas yet as to what's happening on the Sunday? If, as some members think, QF announce a DSC offer to coincide with the financial results release tomorrow, members will be wanting to book their flights.

    Changes to NAB Rewards Signature card: No forex fees + earn rate changes

    Got the same email. I only got this card last year before my trip to Europe so that I could get points without paying international transaction fees. But if they think I'm going to pay an annual fee of $420 they're dreaming. So now I'll need to decide which new card to apply for and who to...

    A bit of humour

    I've loved Tom Lehrer's work since I first heard it almost 60 years ago; so many great songs which were rather risque for the 60's. One of my favourites: https://www.bing.com/search?q=tom+lehrer+vatican+rag&form=ANNTH1&refig=e5a2e7fcb7684ab59299da71646923b6&pc=HCTS

    Travel Pointers Podcast Discussion

    Just listened to episode 6 which I found very enjoyable and informative. It was good to hear Wilson's experiences; he makes a great addition to the podcast.
