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.

Uber should be able to request the Linkt statement from the driver for that day, which will show any tolls accrued during the specific start and finish period of the ride. I am guessing though someone could falsify that too.

Even without the falsification, Uber should automatically refund everything but the two line items for the tolls. And this level of fradulent behaviour should raise red flags about the integrity of the rest of the journey. Even assuming he took the bridge, when travelling A->B->C->D->E instead...

Might as well go to airlines (so travellers can get benefit) than all the other grifters that charge governments exorbitant fees because they can, whichever side of the ledger they fall (consultant, private sector company or union) 😂

Toll prices can be found here: https://www.linkt.com.au/content/dam/linkt/common/qpu/q3-jan-mar-26/citylink-toll-pricing-jan-mar-2026.pdf If the vehicle did indeed cross the Bolte Bridge, it should be a single fee of $10.73. Three toll points together it should be $3.30 + $3.30 +$4.13. Only...

Please let us know. For accrual, Oneworld is largely driven by marketing carrier and star alliance by operating carrier. Not sure what the case is for status benefits.

We were so lucky with the weather on NYE as we booked a Ute from Bunnings to get some new outdoor furniture and take some green and metal waste to the tip and collect some mulch. As the temperature was only about 16-17C we were spared the day trippers on the Great Ocean Road and we were able...

This is exactly why I go for the HNML tends to be tastier than the one size fits all bland/seafood free/ovo-lacot/low carb/etc special meal. And it has Paratha, sometime Pappadums and yoghurt to go with it all. But you can also take your chances with the regular meal, unlike in J, say, the...

On the flipside, accounting for transfers from Male to the end island destination, it probably means a mid morning arrival on the island and mid afternoon departure.

In any event it's not an issue in economy, easily manageable by pre-ordering a special meal. Why? There's no real disadvantage to option for special meals as there is no BTC or inflight menu pre-order to choose for your main. You can opt for "non-seafood" (NSFML) option or the "hindu non...

I was looking at 2 meal flights ex-SIN, SQ 326 and SQ24, both of these flights have two full meals and both of the full meals on these flights have seafood based appetizers. Also looking at SQ 309- one full meal, one breakfast - seafood appertizer for the full meal. SQ21 - two full meals...
