    Signing up kids to QFF requires email & phone number???

    Same for me, BUT I set up my teen's account about 16 years ago. Haven't yet handed over full control to her or gotten her to change the email address.

    General Medical issues thread

    Who knows, but get it done. My Mum had hers done a while ago (same ophthalmologist who operated on my now Teen as a 13mth old) and strongly encourages anyone to just get them done. A dog park friend was reluctant, and then turned into a proselytiser after his first cataract surgery. He...

    2026 travel plans

    We'll be starting 2026 on a Disney cruise. A recent 30% off sale prompted us to pull the trigger on the cruise we were looking at. Apart from that, I've told Mr Katie I want Christmas in Europe next year. We might need to be back before NYE for a family birthday, but we'll see.

    BNE Qantas Club Check In Question

    Quite possibly. Last time we checked in there for an international connection in SYD (probably flying BNE-SYD-LAX), it took quite a while to check in; I remember the lady behind us getting very huffy.

    Annual NZ Dinner: WLG 7 March 2026

    Maybe for me and Mr Katie. Though I have a great-great-nephew in WLG, which makes me feel very old, so I may refuse to acknowledge my age! :P

    TV series discussion {'ware Spoiler Alert}

    OK, well my White Lotus finale comments and thoughts while watching the episode: Ewww, Lochlan, feral teenage boy. Phew, Lochlan didn't do the nasty with his sister. Why the flip didn't old old mate get security to escort Rick out of the resort when he saw him? Why the flip didn't old old...

    Just finished White Lotus. Mr Katie called one thing, though he doesn’t remember it. We were both surprised by other revelations. 😳

    Let's talk about Ryokans

    We stayed in a Ryokan in Hakone for onsen back in Sept, 2017. While yukata may have been available for many sizes, I was given a man's one as it was bigger than the women's ones available. I am 6' tall and not skinny, and I could barely wear the yukata in our room. Definitely couldn't wear it...

    Airfares to US to drop?

    As far as I know (last ESTA completed a year ago), answering those questions is optional. 1742956923 I had that in Las Vegas in the late 90s, seemed to be the standard at that airport.

    The Qantas Status Run Master Thread

    Mr Katie “needs” around 250 SCs ex BNE by mid-July due to my miscalculations. Any suggestions? Erk. 😕

    Qantas double status credits: Register & book between 12-18 March 2025

    Might be a Fight Club question, not sure what to say here. I had a set of flights that I hoped would accrue DSCs due to the Feb 2024 promotion. Has anyone else attempted to fly post the cutoff date and DSCs came through? I don't know if perhaps due to flying in the middle of the latest...

    Airfares to US to drop?

    I'm holding off booking a trip for one of two conferences in May due to the volatility in US immigration activities. While I'm a white, middle-aged lady who speaks English as a first language and am not a criminal, it feels far more likely that US immigration agents could find any reason to...

    Recent Experiences with Qantas' terminal transfer at SYD

    Just transferred through this morning. After a messy mosh pit to get through customs - backed up through Duty Free, then a section after the shop in the middle blocked off, we were all hustled over to the left side, through some cattle runs, then over to the right side and down the ramps. Let...
