    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    Please don't try this at home people. After what came to light with children safety, I don't think any bus driver would let a stranger onto a school bus anymore!

    Article: Live Music in the Qantas Club

    I don't think it's that. I would rather have that over a band playing music I don't like. I am not 'young' anymore, but the older I get, the more I hate those 'classic tunes'. The sort of music I listen to are those played on FBi radio or Oxford Art Factory for Sydneysiders, and Corner...

    Yeah, at this much discount, maybe I would just put up with economy and pay cash and fly to the USA for a holiday ...

    I'm over (most) lounges

    It's sad when there are more USB charging points at the food court outside, than inside the lounge. This happens a lot.

    I think you are asking the wrong question. Sydney domestic and Sydney international are a few kilometres away from each other. It is impossible to walk from one to another. The cheapest is to wait for the free transfer bus, but it's every 15 minutes frequency, and the trip takes 10 minutes...

    Coles gift card offers

    These are magnetic cards on paper cardboards, so you need to swipe on the EFTPOS terminal, press SAV, then PIN. Which also means that you are correct in that these cannot be used for online purchase. Just like EFTPOS cards from banks without MC / Visa, are not accepted online.

    Updates to the Krisflyer Programme

    I have asked this question at shops, and I have been told that I wasn't the only person paying with Kris+. However, I also doubt as to the number of people who use it for payment, since they are giving away so much free money. I would benefit from it a lot if I have a job in the city of Sydney...

    Updates to the Krisflyer Programme

    I would not mix up Pelengo or Kris+ with the SQ frequent flyer program. I think they have been trying to drive up usage since the release of these 2 programs / apps. I personally use Kris+ to pay for bubble tea and ramen, and outlets I talked to told me that they do get a few customers paying...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    I cannot see any marking which indicates that this bear is from SQ. You sure they didn't get it from Kmart? I would not mix up Pelengo or Kris+ with the SQ frequent flyer program. I think they have been trying to drive up usage since the release of these 2 programs / apps. I personally use...

    Hong Kong Airlines - Virgin Australia Partnership

    Interesting. I have paid for Seat.aero, but I, or my friend who is the person doing this trip, don't have membership with Hong Kong Airlines / Fortune Wing, so can't cross check.

    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    As stated above, it's regulatory problem. These things take time. I would say that people who see this as a risk have a very uninformed view on the market. There are approximately 28 million pets in Australia (RSPCA / Animal Medicines Australia). Australia population is 27.5 million. That's...

    New Amex statement credits

    That made no sense, I thought it meant buying tennis racket. Well, turn out it's talking about the competition. "on-site at Wimbledon between 30/06/2025 and 14/07/2025 to receive one AU$40 credit" - Is AmEx a sponsor? "Excludes spend made for on-site parking." - fair enough, you want to push...

    Hong Kong Airlines - Virgin Australia Partnership

    I don't think Seat.aero supports Hong Kong Airlines?

    Hong Kong Airlines - Virgin Australia Partnership

    That makes sense. I recently volunteered at a film festival in Sydney, and one of my roles was to sell raffle tickets. I would approach cinema goers and say "Would you like to get a ticket? On top of supporting us which is a non profit, you could be flying [insert a US flag carrier here] to...

    Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

    "My understanding is that Hong Kong Airlines uses “Z” class for Business Class award inventory, and “R” class for Economy." Looking at the Dec 20, I can see "Z9" and "R5", so they are available? (oh, but this is coming back to Australia, not going there ... )

    Hong Kong Airlines - Virgin Australia Partnership

    "From 17 June 2025, Velocity members can redeem Points for flights across the Hong Kong Airlines network." Cool. So how do I check availability? "Reward Seats on Hong Kong Airlines must be booked through our Membership Contact Centre. Please note available travel dates will vary for each route...

    Yes, I did see that, and I was only talking about that. I didn't mean anyone specific in that sense.

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    How come you get $32.11, but not when I open the web page? ...... Every 10 minutes to the city, but only hourly to the south east, which is why I took 901 + train even though I was tight with time.
