The other thing, how does an outsider distinguish #1 for #10? I have never had anything to do with aviation safety, but at one point had a role that covered 8 manufacturing sites and another dozen research sites across Asia Pacific. We did audits, measured all sorts of things, knew the...

Must be doing something right then. Exactly what Channel 7 and 9 do. Josh Cahill is the “Married at First Sight” of airline reviewers. Not for me. But I’m in the minority many people loves this sort of stuff . I can’t stand manufactured/ orchestrated drama posing as reality, although it...

Arrangements can be confusing!

The $36 is in lieu of lounge entry. First step is to open the Priority Pass app and retrieve the membership card, which is a QR code. The cafe then scans the QR code with the PP reader and enters your flight number. (nb: This is the same as if you were entering a lounge using the PP). The...

Just $1.

That's what I previously believed. Clearly this is wrong in some instances and we should just respect whatever arrangements the vendor has in place. They'd never ever try to rip us off (any more than they would charging inflated airport prices 🤣 ).

Thank you. Good to know. Maybe it's something on the international side 🤣

It’s still seems wrong from a customer perspective which is another reason why this whole surcharging thing is BS . The transaction with my CC provider is for $1 not $37. I don’t pay a 54c surcharge on the $36 if I pay by cash or if I don’t have any top up.

But it’s not a credit card. I scan the Priority Pass - the $36 get billed to Priority Pass (or whatever their agreed recovery is), it gets deducted from my bill. If I pay cash on a $37 bill I pay $1 cash - no surcharge on the $36. . If I pay card I pay $1.55.

So if you had a gift voucher at. Merchant for $200 and the bill came to $220, and paid the difference with a credit card , and the surcharge was 1.5% then you’d expect to pay a $3.30 surcharge and not a 30c surcharge on the $20 credit card payment ? If the total came to $36 there would be no...

Got charged a 55% credit card surcharge yesterday at Melbourne Airport T2. Happened last year as well - this year at Bar Movida, last year at Cafe Sol (although last year had some small change, do didn't end up putting on CC). OK, it was only this big because I used a Priority Pass - which...

I've seen them in the about half a dozen locations across the island. You never know where they might pop up. Including this one near the entrance of the Botanic Gardens:

Jinxed myself there. No public transport from Bendigo to anywhere right now due to fires - not even rail replacement buses taking a wide berth around the fires . So $61 to get to airport by private bus. . Although my BIL drove me instead as he was taking my niece to Melbourne anyway. But...

Cafes where the kitchen closes between noon and 1:30pm. Went to use a soon to expire Priority Pass ($36 credit) at the Urban Providore at MEL. They serve breakfast until midday, I asked probably the wrong question at 11am if I could get a burger and they said that only breakfast menu until...

TBH, the big boost in Australian immigration from India with very little increase in capacity on direct air services between the two countries, has given SQ a huge boost, at least to MEL. Massive flows of VFR traffic and SQ seem to be picking up a lot of that judging by the demographics on...

One thing is for sure SQ ain’t what it used be. As a Solitaire PPS it used to be a given that economy saver wait lists would clear. Now it’s almost never. Out of the last 20 economy waitlists we’ve had none .. zero zilch nothing … have cleared. Maybe they don’t want to give away cheap awards...

Unfortunately you haven't misread it. Though, nice that the overwhelming weight of comments were either attacking or mocking the post.

Was reading a post on facepalm (posted early this morning) complaining about closure of national parks in Victoria today and how this was an unfair "climate lockdown" of Victoria. Then someone else complaining about excessive control by the government. FFS these people have no...

Use Velocity to get to DPS and purchase a cash fare from there!

Good luck! It's a frustrating challenge dealing either it is AI or UI.
