Thanks everyone for your responses. My understanding is NZ doesn't offer day passes, at least not that I can find. VA website does state that all I need to show to gain access to The Lounge (operated by VA) is a membership card or to quote the number and a photo ID, but doesn't really say...

Hi everyone, Going over to NZ in April early for a holiday on VA, and was thinking of joining The Lounge as will be travelling with Mrs and a young bub. Access to lounge would be nice. I've got access to a corporate rate with my organisation. How it works is I fax a form to VA, and then they...

My suggestion is to enquire with your bank. YOu can often withdraw direct from your ATM for a small fee. I used HSBC and their exchange rate was great and withdraw fee was a couple of dollars PER transaction (up to the local ATM daily limit). I of course withdrew from a HSBC ATM there, which...

Scoot to fly to the Gold Coast Scoot air deal to bring 104,000 visitors Local Business | goldcoast.com.au | Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia See above link for more details. Scheduled to start flying in June 2012. This has to be good for consumers, more competition and in preparation for...

I don't think that is an open jaw itinerary. My understanding of an open jaw itinerary ia from A to B, then return from C to A. Start point just be your end point. Happy to stand corrected though.

thanks Major!

I just booked a J Reward with DJ for myself, mrs and bubs. But was unable to select seats at booking. Can anyone advice how I can do that, or if it's at all possible prior to checkin? THanks in advance.

So the anti-whalers feel very strongly against whaling... So they justify their actions, however illegal, by whatever means, for what they believe in. Sounds a wee bit similar to the terrorists, jihadist, suicide bombers etc dont you think? It may be against Australian laws to whale, but...

Many thanks for enlightening me of why this is happening. Personally I think this is to some extent deceitful practice, although they do state after you select flights, of the class of service that is selected for each sector. Misleading at the very least. Anyway i think it's pretty clear...

You're absolutely right! That's sneaky, they do that and charge full J cost?

Hi everyone, was hoping to pick your brains on what's going on. I'm trying to make a J Classic award for myself, the MRS and infant. Route i am trying to get is the shortest one possible, considering bubs will be less than a year old at time of travel. I am looking around Aug 2012. Having...

Are you sure about this? The last PDS i looked at stated that the insurance is valid as long as you hold a valid Platinum Charge Card (i.e not necessary to spend anything on the trip, you'll be covered regardless). If what you said is right, then it significantly devalues the travel insurance.

My advice to you is to put aside a couple of HOURS and go through the Flyertalk forum thoroughly. It's pretty self-explanatory, but the time it takes for one to explain the processes to you here will far exceed the time and effort it would take for you to go through the very informative FAQ...

I bought the FZ100 a few months ago prior to my overseas trip. SPent some time looking around and whilst many retailers had it, they were "australian stock" and many hundreds more. Came across a website called camerasdirect.com.au based on the Gold Coast. They do parallel import, but back...

If i'm not mistaken, the $900 per person concession is pre-GST. So in order to calculate your limit of the iPad and MBP, you need to calculate the amount exclusive of GST and see if you exceed the $1800 for the both of you.

I;ve looked everywhere, but I can't find anything that says you can share up to 100,000 miles until end of May. ONly says max of 40,000 per calendar year. Has the promo come and gone or am I just not able to find the exact page?

Hi samh004, would appreciate some tips on how to do that. Could you PM me with the details as well? I have points i want to use for JASA and the tips on how to maximise them for SC would definintely come in handy. Many thanks!

Definitely rental car. Even if travelling alone, that still works out easiest.

You will be able to use the F lounge in BKK if you have arrived on a TG F flight.

Hmm... So one is expected to give up something one paid for because the carrier requested one's services. At no cost to the carrier. Or the unwell pax. Imaging if one paid, for example, $6k on a J return to US, and spends half the time attending to an unwell pax somewhere else. Sounds...
