    Good BWS offers

    Not me, in the ACT. But I do get a similar "discount" with shopback and topcashback from time to time.

    Wine Glasses, Decanters etc

    I currently have 32 credits and want the 2 red wine glasses for 36. However, I have an order being delivered tomorrow, so that should increase the number to 36+ So I guess I'll drive down to the nearest Coles on Friday in the 40 degree heat and claim my glasses.

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    Or move to Qantas.

    Have you accidentally booked the wrong flight?

    Yes indeed. I'm always a bit paranoid when booking a connecting flight to a long haul flight arriving the day after the day of departure.

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    Might be a slight hassle, though.

    Travel discounts Over sixty years of age in UK for non UK residents

    That's why I've never done it. Too much of a hassle. With a Railcard you can get many of the benefits.

    Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

    It's not how BA did it. I guess it may well depend on the feedback from VA's brave changes to Velocity.

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    From where to where? I expect SYD, CBR and ADL could give that a run for its money as far a public transport to/from the airport is concerned.

    Yes, that's the only situation I will book with an OLTA. Close in.

    Ubank "Enhancements" Incoming - 15/7/25 & 1/10/25

    Yeah, that's pretty much my strategy.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Can I just say, as a general comment, I don't fly business class for the meals. I sometimes don't bother with the meal service at all depending on how I feel and what's on offer. However, I sometimes do look forward to a glass or two of decent alcohol to help me sleep. If there's a nice meal and...

    Fraudulent China Southern flight in my name, what to do next?

    Well, I had the weirdest email from Tesco this morning. I was asked to provide a review of my visit to a store in the UK I apparently I had visited yesterday. This means someone had used my club card number (scary). So I did provide a review, for the points. Hope they liked it...

    Anyone else had an overseas speeding fine arrive in the mail?

    I thought I might have copped a fine in Tassie (overseas) a few weeks ago, but I haven't received anything in the mail, so all good? And, btw, you have to drive a bit like a maniac to keep up with those logging trucks. I was following one on the road up to George Town, and we were doiing 120...

    Australia to Europe from $684 return

    But can you do that with the airlines involved and expect a guaranteed empty seat even if the flight is full/oversild?

    Best options for making cheap calls/text when overseas?

    Surely this is now all a dead duck with the likes of Amaysim's roaming products.

    Then doesn't that shoot your costings to pieces?

    Australia to Europe from $684 return

    I know I don't want to. In the past I've done quite a few trips between AU and EU in Y (but with a couple of stops on the way) and I likely won't be doing it again. But. of course you're quite welcome to do it. Well, I say that, but if I was travelling with my partner, and it was A330's all the...

    Best Australian debit card for overseas cash withdrawals?

    I'm not sure if things have changed that much, so when I arrive at TPE in Feb I'll be withdrawing a fair bit of cash, to tide me over my stays.

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    Sadly, this is one for the history books. I picked up a few cases of this very nice drinking wine a few years ago at auction. The last bottle went this evening.

    Australia to Europe from $684 return

    Well, yes. These flights are great value (for young people), but I wouldn't fly Y for more than about 5 hours, and only on a decent airline. Not sure I'd call Chinese airlines "decent". Excepting CX of course.
