It's been billed correctly, $56, and I can see it in the Uber app in my activity, but it just shows that it's cancelled, and the ride went nowhere, i.e., there is no journey map other than the pick-up spot. Weird! The number plate also matched, along with the driver's name. But no points allocated.

I recently switched from taxis to Uber to/from MEL airport because I'm fairly certain a taxi driver scammed my CC a few months ago. Everything seems fine, rides are good and the QF points are added to my account almost immediately. Except this morning. Booked the car and got a call from the...

I've one sitting in my e:mails for QF MEL > SYD > MEL for next Monday, but not going to take it for $$$$$ v short flight. But took up the two Aegean flights ATH > SKG and SKG > FRA. First one 40e and the second 90e. I bid and got them mainly as I had a long layover in ATH and SKG and got access...

Agreed, the Q was certainly way, way out in the left field. I've never even thought about the cutlery and probably still wont. I was just glad the "green angle" wasn't dropped into any of the posts!

So, go back to the OP, how many of us have these "little" idiosyncrasies????? And my tea is no joke, I need that caffeine in the morning!!!

I carry my own tea/sugar and, on some trips, my own travel jug and mug, including a spoon (stainless steel 18/8!). I'm an early riser and from 4:30 to 6 I will have at least 3 cups of tea. Simple reasons; hotels seem to only give you 2 teabags, Lipton yellow label is cough!, using those coffee...

Whilst this threat has turned humourous, I like the fact that it started out as another eclectic driver for deciding how one travels. I like reading what people think and do, in getting onto that metal cylinder in the sky. Either getting to the airport 6 hours ahead or deciding the cutlery draw...

I've read a lot of comments here and mainly elsewhere about the 1/2 full flights, etc., and the line from To Kill a Mockingbird about being "in the other man's skin" doesn't miss the mark. Mrs Leadman is a Maronite Lebanese, and she has the nightly phone calls back home to the family in the...

I flew out yesterday, and before I did, I went back to thank a few of the staff. They told me I was lucky, as there were two other passengers who "lost" their carry-on. It seems that they put their bags down the front, and seats were at the back. The security guy said this is becoming more...

I did it AGAIN!!!!!! Leg 14 of this trip from Thessaloniki to FRA on Aegean! Did some work on the flight and put the laptop under that middle seat table in J. It was far more stressful this time, 4 hours in total and running back from department to department. I joked with a few that I've seen...

Firstly, I had my flight history recorded due to "old habits" from my first job. Two salesmen had a scam where they booked domestic flights to visit potential customers, pay on their own CC, cancel, and then get the refund, but claim the visit. Problem was the two were out playing golf when they...

When you hit the 6,000,000 km mark & 5 days off living one year of your life in the air...............................

Don't blame the poor old lead!!!! It most likely was the white coloured paint with the lead, not pink and not used as a gloss. And all that after attending two lead conferences in Milan and Lisbon last week!!!! When I'm travelling, I like watching the weights, not that I'm over, but just see...

The bit of stress was worth it, I can post these with my returned computer. Walking the Oued Sous this morning.

But far better than sitting out in the domestic waiting area, been here for 5 hours! Least the seats are soft, although do need a clean......

First time on RAM, Milan > Casablanca. Taking weekend off for birding down Agadir so not going to pay the 1,200 euro for J. In 9A and 8A seat is broken and in permanent recline. Had my laptop out to do some work but impossible with the seat in from so I put it down the side and forgot it when I...

Well, the circus is about to start again! I found another thing "lost" from the hotel room, which tends to be familiar with Marriott's: my double-walled glass cup, my travel jug, and now my 512G memory card, which I found "missing" this morning. I pulled my room here in the London Maida Vale...

I had a look at the Arrivals/Departure board in CMB the other day whilst in transit, and nearly every flight was delayed to some degree. Nothing too bad, but even the other airlines were delayed. Would not mind my FRA > CMB leg being delayed next month as it would mean a full day in FRA and not...

Yes. I'm currently in the Marriott Maida Vale, and the same for a paid visit, even the gift of 1,000 points. But sadly they have closed the lounge on the 7th floor and they give you a card/pass for the restaurant. I enjoyed the lounge as it looked straight down Edgeware Road.

Tuesday out on time, along with UL601 to CDG. Now sitting in the Prime lounge that BA uses and it's far better outside. What a load of cough. It took 49 minutes for J luggage to come off.
