One just wonders where this is going. and why?

Yes indeed, but what is there on Sarah St? Holiday Inn Express or perhaps the Fetchit pet store??

And the fun thing is that no one complains. Next time whack it up by 100%, and they will still be smiling. Can't blame the Govt.

Yes indeed, and I always take my laptop bag out from my carryon and have it scanned separately, wherever I am in the world. Even so, it goesn't always go well. Some places just need to find something. For example, LST recently, My carryon went through unscathed, but my laptop bag was pulled...

I hope they thank you for it.

Fly with and trust UA at your own risk. I don't fly them, even as an MP LTP.

Well, I have nothing planned for after May. I'm struggling to find any decent J airfares from Asia to Europe, but hopefully something will come up in the next few months. Things aint what they used to be, that's for sure.

Doesn't the Wise UK account have the option to earn interest. They keep trying to prod me into it.

If it were me, I'd go for the longer layover (which you could spend in the Qantas Club I expect). All it would take is a delay with the incoming aircraft and you'd be in a spot of bother. Being protected on the connection is fine, as long as you're happy to take a flight day(s) later.

Very sad to see you go Matt. The place won't be the same without you. I hope that AFF can maintain its focus. And I expect you'll have a great time and be a source of inspiration to the global FF community.

That's an iteresting comment. The airport won't go far without them. cf Avalon.

This is all much of a muchness really, when it comes to fee free debit cards. What are we talking about, a few cents here or there. I have UB, MacQ, ING, BankW, Wise (AU and UK) and Santander (UK), but at the end of the day you use whichever card suits you at the time.

It won't be terribly competitive. Why would they bother?

Scoot is pretty egregious with this too. A bit of a scam if you ask me.

One thing VA definitely does better than QF is the lounge at OOL. I really don't know where to begin. For starters, there's a lovely view vs the dungeon. Next, the VA staff have an unforced smile, and then the VA food/drink is far superior. Try self-pour wine in the Qantas lounge (you won't get...

Yeah, I got a mixed case a few weeks ago and there's a couple of the wines that are literally undrinkable. Pity they don't give the wine away free with points purchase.

That's very interesting and I can relate to it, sort of. My mother had a Central Europe surname (fairly unpronounceable), but my father had a good old Irish surname. It's also interesting, that my son and daughter both married people with common Irish surnames.

I have never seen the point of PP, other than getting its owner (a well-connected Tech Bro) a heap of cash.

But who wants to go to St Marys if going to the city? It's a complete nonsense. Typical, build the airport and worry about access later. Zounds a bit like HS2

How about ING? Both my wife and I have it and it seems fine.
