My local (regular) Aramex delivery guy is ok. According to his van, his name is Simon. Never had any issues with his deliveries and he is always efficient, careful, smiling and polite. Certainly seems to depend on each local delivery driver. Which bonus points purchase (with free wine thrown...

And it happened "Jusss liiike dat" (read with Tommy Cooper style Yorkshire accent).

Or a kilt, perhaps? I was more considering @drron style golf shorts 😱

Perhaps in reference to the bin# of the wine the pax would like to see on the in-flight menu?

LOL Unfortunately for Mrs NM's trip, credit card TI is not available.

wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a checkbox for each category in the policy, then I could deselect rental car cover for trips where I am not renting a car (as an example). Taylor the cover to match the risk/trip.

This topic was recently addressed (briefly) in the Ask The Pilot thread: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/ask-the-pilot.30478/post-2927811 The chance of space debris impacting at aircraft at 35,000 feet is about the same as the chance of that same debris not hitting...

Just checking for a NZ trip for Mrs NM early 2026, and Qantas was cheaper than most other insurers I checked, by 1.5% to 16.9%. However, the flexibility to customise benefits/cover amounts to meet the needs of this specific trip resulted in my Home/Contents/Car insurance provider coming in about...

Not sure anyone would want to be patting down my socks after a long day trekking around, and certainly would not want me removing my socks for a separate run through the machines ... :eek:

"Soft Opening" to verify all the technology, processes and staff training is working and functioning correctly before announcing to the press, perhaps?

I made the booking using Au credit card via .com.au web site and it has not come up with an additional charges (other than what was quoted on the web site). So looks to be processed in AU.

Yes, but my question is whether the transaction is processed in Australia. There sre plenty of businesses that have a .com.au website, transact in AUD, but process the transaction outside Australia and the payment is treated as a foreign transaction in incurs ~3% foreign transaction fee. I...

When making Air New Zealand domestic flight bookings (i.e. Auckland to Nelson) using the airnewzealand.com.au web site, which is pricing in AUD, will the credit card transaction be processed in Australia and hence not charged as a foreign transaction? The price is showing pretty much exactly...

Around age 82 for me ... if I keep working.

By the way, the flight has just landed at LAX. Arrival is at TBIT

Only if you think someone can make commercial sense of a flight with 52 passengers (in Business and Premium Economy seating) in anything other than a charter flight operation. The low passenger count allowed for higher fuel loading to enable the flight to complete the operational requirement. A...

Interesting that this flight has an ETA of 04:14am at LAX. Any Commercial flight arriving before 06:00 at LAX are normally held at the gate because LAX immigration is not available until 6am. I wonder if WWE has enough influence in the USA/LAX to have inbound immigration processing available at...

That would be the WWE promoters and associated businesses.

Have to wonder if our parliamentary leaders had their mobile phone numbers compromised in the QF data leak? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-14/anthony-albanese-mobile-phone-number-available-online/105889284 PS. Yes, I know it is totally unrelated, but was interesting reading that news...
