Wasn't there some hubbub about the fixed fare SYD to CBD fares being higher than a "normal fare"? The MEL version is not just to the CBD which will/should eliminate the touts and short-fare, "meter-not-working" types. It'll be interesting to see comparisons between ride share fares and fares...

Here's a couple of screenshots by some git (US based) on FB regarding using AI to get cheap tickets and travel itineraries. Some of the queries are interesting, #3 in the first one for eg.

I feel the same way about sauce on a pie and lemon/lime wedge in a beer.

Link?

Yep I landed on the 400 - Bad request page every time last week while trying to piece together a domestic itinerary involving XCH and CCK. I thought it had something to do with the ex-CCK leg which, if booking separately, requires being transferred to an "international site" (ie notified that...

I love how he still bought the tickets at the higher price - in case the price increased further.

Maybe no all-member. It's not in my app (yet). I have last week's "Bank 5x points for Christmas" still going until tomorrow, so maybe it'll kick in after that.

SMH Traveller puff-piece on the topic (probably paywalled). Doing what I do, I found this statement most interesting: "At least Bambi’s position on the floor muffles his cries and I doubt his little noises carry much further than our row." My neighbour two doors up, no less than 30m away...

Didn't give it (the weight) any thought at time of purchase. I was blinded by the TJ Maxx bargain I was getting! Quality bag to be sure, but yep, becoming increasingly useless as a cabin bag.

It would make more sense to do it at check-in, rather than at the gate where there's probably a fee to send it under. HLO/OLCI pax would arc up at this though.

Has happened to me once. QF weighed our cabin bags at check-in at LAX in Feb 2011. I was over 7kg so had to decamp some stuff to a checked bag. The Samsonite roller cabin bag I'd just bought weighed 4kg empty (!) so I just use it for domestic now. Maybe about to be unsuitable even for that.

Qatar $1500/$200 on Exlporer, Velocity Plat and all supps.

Yes I recall discussion around super being used to hold farms and other property. Taxing unrealised capital gains makes sense in those cases. They could release some of the housing pressure by excluding residential property from super.

So what's the procedure here to maximise the likelihood of approval for those that were SM'd via Velocity (ie not earned through flying)? 1. Create a LH account using an address from an eligible country (or update your address if you already have an LH account) 2. Change the Volare address to...

It's that simple. And at check in too (for those trying to game Lite fares and luggage allowances).

Yep. that redeem rate has fleas. Very paw value.

Split payment. Just need to know how much is on the card. I do this via the Special app as the card value and running total is not shown in the apple wallet.

Online?? None of my offers are limited to online only. Thankfully.

The opportunist in me says to have a rummage through those bags. At the very least, I'd be inclined to hand it to a hostie with information of the owners location and, if appropriate, ask them to remind the pax that rows 15 and beyond should be boarding from the rear.

I got a roll of dog food. The Staffy will be delighted.
