    I'm stepping down from the AFF editor role

    Very sad to see you go Matt. The place won't be the same without you. I hope that AFF can maintain its focus. And I expect you'll have a great time and be a source of inspiration to the global FF community.

    Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

    That's an iteresting comment. The airport won't go far without them. cf Avalon.

    Best Australian debit card for overseas cash withdrawals?

    This is all much of a muchness really, when it comes to fee free debit cards. What are we talking about, a few cents here or there. I have UB, MacQ, ING, BankW, Wise (AU and UK) and Santander (UK), but at the end of the day you use whichever card suits you at the time.

    Oman Air joins Oneworld in 2025

    It won't be terribly competitive. Why would they bother?

    Jetstar FlexPlus - plus being the operative word?

    Scoot is pretty egregious with this too. A bit of a scam if you ask me.

    Things Virgin Australia Does & Doesn’t Do Well

    One thing VA definitely does better than QF is the lounge at OOL. I really don't know where to begin. For starters, there's a lovely view vs the dungeon. Next, the VA staff have an unforced smile, and then the VA food/drink is far superior. Try self-pour wine in the Qantas lounge (you won't get...

    Buying Velocity points

    Yeah, I got a mixed case a few weeks ago and there's a couple of the wines that are literally undrinkable. Pity they don't give the wine away free with points purchase.

    QF Platinum Recognition on flights

    That's very interesting and I can relate to it, sort of. My mother had a Central Europe surname (fairly unpronounceable), but my father had a good old Irish surname. It's also interesting, that my son and daughter both married people with common Irish surnames.

    Scams like these

    I have never seen the point of PP, other than getting its owner (a well-connected Tech Bro) a heap of cash.

    Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

    But who wants to go to St Marys if going to the city? It's a complete nonsense. Typical, build the airport and worry about access later. Zounds a bit like HS2

    Best Australian debit card for overseas cash withdrawals?

    How about ING? Both my wife and I have it and it seems fine.

    Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

    But to go.... Where? This is turning out to be a possible fiasco, along the lines of MEL.

    Cannot add QF Frequent Flyer Number on Cathay's website

    I don't think so. The CX app didn't recognise the QF No. you entered as being valid, so it defaulted to your CX No.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Maracay Airport, Escuela Mariscal Sucre (MYC/SVBS) But well done! Yes, but have you ever been successful in using them to upgrade to business. I haven't.

    New aviation industry ombudsman & customer rights charter in Australia

    Of course, only rich people fly, but poor people (ie voters) shop at Coles/Woolies.

    Condor considering joining Oneworld alliance

    Yes, but they are a (pseudo) LCC, so anything goes.

    Qantas Health Insurance - what are the thoughts of those that have it?

    FWIW, and a little off topic, but I can't fault BUPA with their hospital insurance. My wife has had a couple of knee replacements this year (separate hospital admissions), and BUPA quite "happily" paid $50,000+ for the experience. Well, at least it didn't come out of our pockets...

    New aviation industry ombudsman & customer rights charter in Australia

    It's not something I would contemplate.

    Cathay now also bans OW FF from pre-selecting seats

    From experience, I believe that BA also requires the zeros.

    Things Virgin Australia Does & Doesn’t Do Well

    What's over engineered about it? A couple of lines of code. My 6 year old granddaughter could do it. But, I have to admit, it's a far better system than what VA are using atm.
