Oh, according to this article, the short fare system was scrapped. https://www.escape.com.au/escape-travel/is-it-time-to-rethink-the-way-we-queue-for-taxis-at-sydney-airport/news-story/2a9fa26cb364b35d0710818a18c15f1c

You shouldn’t ever be concerned about taking a taxi a short distance from SYD - SYD operates (well used to when I worked there) a short-fare system. In conjunction with the taxi operators, taxis that haven’t left a certain geo boundary and return within x minutes are fast tracked to the start of...

Did anyone else that received the package read the letter? I received three single entry VA Lounge passes - slightly different than usual (where lounge passes are usually uselessly assigned to my account) in that I can nominate who receives the lounge pass by emailing the Platnium+ email...

All levels or only Saver, do you know?

Imagine if you could register your dietary requirements on a customer-based portal record, I dunno, something like your frequent flyer profile. That would be a novel concept.

I double bag any bottles, and then bag all my travel packs - added bonus is keeps everything dry in case my luggage is left out in torrential rain.

Yes this is always the challenge/debate about online tools - creating a “honey pot” which provides everything in one place. It was always my hesitation in using a password manager, but you just hope that their security systems to guard are data will do the job. Ultimately for password managers...

You could always log this as feedback - they’ve been reasonably goodish at responding to issues when ppl log them comparing before and after functionality.

Common sense, as they say, is not so common. I’d like to pay tribute to the VA CSMs who do take a bit of initiative toward their customer service patterns and go outside the box for the customer’s benefit, and I’d like to think that there would be some that would gauge the room temperature...

Yes, I imagine they think it is an abbreviation for Summer Time… 🤨🙄

ISTR if you call up, the agents can see the (potentially myriad) of searches/dummy bookings in your history… I always figured each search must save a shell booking which then times out later… so they would be able to see what you’re trying to achieve and replicate it for you.

Came here to post this also. Watch how quickly things will move on this one, for sure. And yes, wondered if their mobile numbers were released via the Qantas breach too.

I live in a cyclone region of Australia, so am aware of the impact of natural disasters each year when cyclone season rolls on. Was living near the San Andreas fault line a consideration at all when deciding on the move? I figure each year that passes when it’s not rumbling or shuddering is...

:sigh: None of the Flight Availability searches for QF or VA are working tonight. And none of my saved Seat Maps for VA flights are working. I can't find anywhere that they have notified an outage or maintenance window... really starting to question my previous blind persistence with this...

https://wise.com/en/help/articles/2978074 Jar = set money aside

Sorry if this adds confusion but isn’t there three levels? Your aud account/baalnce, foreign currency buckets and the Jars that you can move from foreign currency buckets into a further protected Jar…? That’s been my interpretation from the various discussions. Based on this understanding, I...

"Velocity Status beyond 2025" versus start a new thread on other topics...?

Which locations are you getting Beyond lounge access? Are they taking you there or are you using the entry kiosk to scan in at the "hidden" door?

I made a recent change to a DSC booking and the DSCs still posted. If you cancel to travel bank, you lose the PNR, so possibly best to change the flight dates rather than cancel…? But i guess that limits to same routing

I used to get an Australian call centre when I called... maybe it was before COVID. But definitely noticed the accents of international call centres in the last couple years. They still were able to achieve what I needed, so wasn't unhappy.
