I haven't been following thread closely so thanks for bringing MBV transfer to my attention

Locally, my best experience has been at Mount Lofty in Adelaide Hills. The guided tour is fantastic and service outstanding. The restaurant is very good though pricey

Amnounced in UK budget that class 2 NICs for expats will cease April 2026 Presumably you will be able to claim up to 6 years prior to that date For anyone who hasn't got round to this (and is able get up over the minimum 10 qualifying years*), still likely to be a very good investment of funds I...

It is considered one of the more potent non-steroi_al anti-inflammatories. Higher risk of gastritis amd renal impairment than ibuprofen but not usually an issue with short-term use

May not be a great help in clarifying, but I think the difference is the initial info said Business Ascent is not affected. I seem to remember that upthread that most Platinum Business still earns into Ascent rather than Business Ascent. Not 100% sure who gets Business Ascent but may be...

And back to SYD four hours earlier than I'd originally meant to. Next day, we were excited at the school presentation as mstrandye3 did get the captain position. Thoroughly well deserved and not just from my obviously biased perspective. The AA miles (I think I said Alaska in previous post)...

Its generally thought in the UK that it's pretty reasonable value to acquire Avios at GBP0.01 (which is about 2c) but I'd personally balk at 1.5c as I generally use them for short-haul Y. Amex MR are flexible however. Pretty regular to have a 20% VA transfer bonus so 1.35 VA/$ with Charge

Boarding for LAX-SYD on QF12 is crowded. Its quite organised getting on though with automated gates. Slight anmoyance as I end up two boarding groups further back than I could have been as wouldnt let me flash my IB OWS as I had my QF NB on the boarding pass (for Points Club SCs). Its a long...

And so to LAX. Ive never done an Int-Int connection before. Its a bit of a schemozzle but not terribly slow. After picking up bag, giving your fingerprints to the stony-faced immigration people, you don't check bag at a desk, rather hand it to a staff-member, then traipse off to a theme-park...

AA Y is not something I usually look forward to. Its a Boeing 777-300ER Im not tiny by any means but I do fit in a seat so some of the pax in the boarding area were enough to make one worry But I did OK. Aisle seat of the middle 4 seat and I had a space next to me. Seat was reasonably...

Me today, zero kisses on text messages

Of course, I have plenty of time especially as I'm boarding group 99 or something, but it was nice to sit down at the gate and decompress

Security was mercifully quick and I walked toward the gate. As I approach the QF lounge, I turn in and ask the barman for the largest Gin & Tonic he's allowed to serve me.

Fortunately, the AA man I''d spoken to earlier was still there He knew the situation and fobbed off one of the other agents while he got to work It was a flurry of typing and (I kid you not) at T-61, I'm in. It felt like a Mission Impossible cliffhanger! Both relieved, he tells me not to hang...

So settle in to one of the charging stations. There is a lot of refreshing of the ESTA site. Realise that I dont really want to lose the points if the visa doesn't come through. Call QF. Pretty short wait for an NB but it is the middle of the Australian night. Agent confirms the latest I can...

Fortunately not real time but thanks for the support if I were

Not too long before a train comes for the stop to LHR T2/3. its now about T-90 mins. AA signage points to the kiosks. Try to check-in but no-go presumably due to being ESTA negative. Speak to most experienced AA check-in staff-member I can see. He confirms the issue. Not an uncommon problem...

Alight at H&H and fortunately there is a plug outlet in the little waiting room. Once I had some juice, I was able to get back onto the ESTA site. And I can now reaccess the payment page...hooray I pay by credit card this time... And get -"Thank you for your payment. We are unable to make...

So I board the DLR and change onto the Elizabeth line. At Stratford there is an announcement that due to people on the tracks, the train wont go all the way to LHR but will terminate at Hayes & Harlington. I hadn't noticed my battery bar but en route, my phone conks out. The travel gods are...
