Here is QLD, I tend to ignore any numbers from Sydney or Melbourne unless I’m expecting a call 😆

“Hacked” or “let in”, I think that is unnecessarily splitting hairs on terms now… malicious access to unauthorised systems gained through malicious means with malicious intent. I’d still call that “hacked”. From what I understand, the [not Optus, possibly Medibank, I don’t know exactly] event...

I remeber years ago, the Qantas Call Centre agents used to ask for your PIN - possibly in occurrences where you were needing assistance to book reward seats or similar. I always remember feeling it was odd, and got the impression it was a bit of a shortcut for the agent to do things using my...

I noted in the last week when Singapore Airlines sent out an email imploring “a partnership like no other” with VA and then listed out all the benefits and features of the partnership. I did wonder if it was akin to a politician’s answer, when asked if they have leadership aspirations...

I use a contour memory foam pillow at home and have had a travel size one for many years now. https://pillows.com.au/sleep-away-travel-pillow It easily fits into a domestic size carry-on bag and squashes down easily when necessary. Unfortunately, I can’t deal with firm mattresses anymore -...

I’ve used one of these money belts to store my passport when getting around overseas. https://www.petersofkensington.com.au/travel-leisure/bags-travel-accessories/travel-accessories/korjo-money-belt/?s=206371 I put the passport in a zip lock bag for protection against moisture/sweat and wear...

Don’t we just wait for the episode of that TV show, “Air Crash Investigations” to come out…? 😉

I see what she did there (Party Aunty...)... just when you thought that was a 7! 🤣 How clever.

Looks like they've rolled back their live site to the old version.

Oh, that makes sense then... I did a search recently and wondered whether my memory was failing me or whether the points required on a redemption had increased... perhaps my memory is not as based as I thought it was becoming lately...

I'm AEST time right now on Tue 24-Jun and can select both 24-Jun and 23-Jun at the moment...

They're calling it "slightly more modern" and "mostly unchanged" for the desktop version. It looks similar but the feel is slightly different. None of my Seat Maps have converted properly (I was part of the beta testing, as were some others here.. ExperFlyer beta program - April 2025). I...

The new version of ExpertFlyer has gone live for the masses. A few bugs/inconveniences I reported during the beta have not been fixed, but I guess they will be prioritising work and rolling out updates in various sprints over time. None of my saved Seat Map queries are working (still).

I read the title as “celebrating 70 times”, not “celebrations for my 70th”, and wondered if 70 parties was too much… but why not! 🍾🎉🥳

As long as I have my phone, wallet and passport, I can probably buy anything I forgot.

If that was in Sydney, the airport would’ve been shut down by NIMBY’ers decades ago… 🙄 Reminds me of that song, “Which comes first, the chicken or the egg…” 😝

If it’s a TA booking and mixed airline, perhaps the taxes and airline/airport taxes are mixed up and so VA can’t determine the total fare related to its segment.

Did anyone see the Aussie Lamb ad this year? How appropriate. Anyway… helpful thread as it highlights and informs others to perhaps ensure they read the T&Cs. Also helps to draw attention to specific circumstances which others may not have considered themselves. And sure… we all like someone to...

If that is a change, Qantas really should write the PhD for how to piss its loyal customers off. It’s an expert in knowing how to do just that.

You laugh, but am I known to check in my trusty blue/white/red stripe bag even travelling First or Business at the end of a trip. So handy to shove the stuff in that you don’t want to throw away after a long international trip, but don’t quite care if it makes it home or not. Perhaps I am that...
