    Where did you visit for its geographical significance?

    I'll have to add it to the list. While I haven't been to Sydney's exact antipode yet, I've been fairly close. Bermuda is Perth's counterpart https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/all-the-way-to-bda.91144/

    Qantas PayID - Help!

    Do you have a photo of it on your phone? From memory all you need to complete APIS is exact names, DOB, Document Number, and Expiry date. How many days since you performed the transaction? I find credit/debit card the safest and most reliable payment method when buying tickets.

    Non Alcoholic Drinks Offerings

    As an avid mullet spotter, this effort is world class. 9/10 Anyway back to the topic, I enjoy drinking regional wines and beers on holidays. It's a part of the cultural experience, especially in a restaurant serving the local cuisine. When in Rome... But on flights, no, I stay off the...

    Qantas app, DOH airport

    It's reliable, but yes it's expensive and tends to add up, especially on longer trips. Our household has switched to Roamless esim, which I'd highly recommend. https://roamless.com/ It's an esim that you activate as your secondary sim (assuming your phone supports dual) and then you just...

    Hotel breakfast likes & dislikes

    Oh yeah fake and using an awful sweetener. It's worth noting that a number of US food and beverage manufacturers are switching back to cane sugar in their products and ditching high fructose corn syrup.

    Prague, Vienna, and a wild A380 late go-around

    I can only say go for it, and I really hope you enjoy it as much as we did.. We are not really big sports watchers either, but as an event/spectacle this experience was just incredible. Such a great atmosphere! This is the site I used to find the home fixtures. Current season is on a few...

    What do people think of the DIY Belgian waffle machines? From what I've seen, these often end up as a gloopy mess. I guess people are overfilling the mould?

    Prague, Vienna, and a wild A380 late go-around

    So wrapping this one up now with some observations: EK's premium economy is of a high standard. Dubaiconnect is an underrated way to get a free all inclusive stopover and break up the journey. Haven't seen it discussed here very much. Forgot to mention, the Dubaiconnect people give every...

    Hotel breakfast likes & dislikes

    Yes, but by the same token, please open before 7 or 730! If you're up early with jetlag, or for an early flight, or have morning meetings on a work trip, a 6am opening is a godsend. Hilton JFK notorious for this caper! I've encountered this a lot in Japan, and put it down to the fact that...

    Qantas refusing to fix "East Coast Penalty" on MH Business (D Class) - Sanity Check needed

    If I'm honest, I'd place this issue in the "pick your battles" category and forget about it. Wouldn't fathom taking something like this to a tribunal.

    Prague, Vienna, and a wild A380 late go-around

    Back in Vienna by early afternoon, we check in to the Vienna Marriott, which is quite close to where the airport trains depart from. (Wien Mitte) I had a few Mariott points, so we picked up this stay as a points redemption which was nice. (The only good point is a spent point as they say). The...

    Prague, Vienna, and a wild A380 late go-around

    And with that, departure day arrives. Even the train station here is picturesque, right between the lake and mountains. We get the train back to Vienna, with one change at Salzburg. All of the trains were incredibly easy to book using the Austrian Rail (OBB) App...
