    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    The Uber drivers, afaik, get to wait in the Taxi/bus/overflow area near the entrance roundabout, so there’s no reason for them to not be near the airport.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    With Norris Carter in charge of HBA, don’t expect too much which looks after the ppl. He’s reportedly an Ivory-Tower kind of leader (so was reported when he was in CNS).

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    There is a Cairns Taxi app you can use to book a taxi in Cairns (doesn’t really apply at the airport though with the rank being there) but you can track the taxi assigned arriving and gives an estimate of fare value. Used to be able to pay through app, but they disabled that feature and not sure...

    Is Australian tasting platter the new name for a ploughman’s lunch, which they used to serve?

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Oh is that only a recent move? I only looked up on the weekend which counters they were at over the weekend for our trip in late April, and was surprised to see them at Counter A.

    You can sign up with Historic Scotland, either an annual membership or Explorer Pass, depending on the value you perceive, and get entry to various places and discounts on parking and gifts shops. Provides some discounts at Heritage England places too. Another member (such as me 😇) could buy...

    Can I visit Qantas Domestic lounge instead of International lounge?

    The way QF still treats its customers these days, they probably changed the brand of toilet paper in the Lounge and called it a Refurbishment ;)😆

    Cancelled flights & waivers due to Cyclone Alfred

    Yes, exactly. I was (fortunate) to be north of both Larry and Yasi, and the winds were actually blowing from the south, and then from the west for most of the time once they got close to the coast and crossed the coast. Without the eye over water, it should dissipate fairly quickly, however...

    Cancelled flights & waivers due to Cyclone Alfred

    Perhaps not entirely true. (Let me explain my reasoning.) Sure, while the most intense winds are at the eye (but not in the eye.. it's calm in the eye...), the red line shows the "Destructive Winds" area, and it easily reaches well into the suburbs before the eye arrives. So depending how slow...

    Cancelled flights & waivers due to Cyclone Alfred

    The joke going around town (Cairns) is that Brisbane will get the cyclone but we’ll still cop the Insurance price hike to compensate. I’m already paying $5.5k p.a. for home & contents, so I’m hoping the thought only remains a joke.
