Which I why I specifically said to "make sure it's protected", because terms and conditions vary between policies and between cover providers.

Whatever you do, make sure its "protected" by your travel insurance under "Missed Connections" - just in case.

So for once someone puts me in the 1% Club :) . I like being different.

Hard points expiry is a major consideration in programs for me. And one reason that AAdvantage is my primary alternate to QFF. I would have lost many thousands of miles/points across several programs (airlines, hotels) if hard expiry applied to my used programs. I am willing and able to maintain...

Do you happen to have some Qantas Business Rewards points? I have a QBR account, but rarely accumulate points in it. But I do have about 19K points sitting there and that is buffer for end-of-year Points Club top-up if needed. QBR requires an ABN so not available to everyone. And many of my QBR...

Perhaps the high number of "reputable brands" on this list is because its the reputable brands that follow the processes and issue recalls while the lesser-known brands just deny or bury their heads in the sand? And of course such process does not apply to people buying from cheap international...

I just hope they can tell the difference between lithium type rechargeable batteries and other battery chemistries that do no experience thermal runaway or spontaneous ignition. I am thinking of NiMH rechargeable AA/AAA type batteries that I use in things like wireless mouse and Bose QC15...

I expect they will be happy to add suitable adapters to their in-flight duty-free catalogue:p

I do hear similar comments fairly often, not always about Tesla specifically, sometimes generically about EVs. Do you have any quantitative evidence that substantiates the comments? Either for Tesla specially or across all EVs? Either for Australia, USA, China or world-wide? I am genuinely...

Indeed there are lots of very high quality products that are manufactured in China. Unfortunately, many items made in China are not of high quality. And in many cases its trial and error to determine which is which. Lots of reliance on the supply chain and importers/retailers to ensure "name...

I have a similar device that I use when travelling and plug into mains power when in a hotel room, office, lounge etc. when needed. Have not needed to use it in-flight. I can always leave the airport lounge with sufficient charge for my devices in-flight and immediate post landing needs...

I have no need nor desire to carry a portable power bank with me when travelling (for work or leisure), whether that be in an aircraft or a train to the office. I carry a charger and cables so if I need to recharge I can do so from a power point . I am not so welded to my devices that I have...

Or every time there is a credit check, they contact you for verification before the respond to the requester. Yes, it might slow down the application for credit process, but that is not necessarily a bad thing given the risks of providing credit to the wrong person.

My reference to the use of the term overselling was specifically related to airlines, and in particular Australian airlines. What hotels is do regarding inventory management was not part of my comment.

sounds reasonable to me.

"Oversold" is a term often used by airlines and other people. From an airline's perspective it means that they have more people wanting to travel on a flight than there are seats available on the flight. There are many reasons this can happen, and in Australia it is most likely not to what we...

In my experience (quite some years ago), they do count as a sector, but it only counts as one stopover between the previous and subsequent flight sector.

Yesterday I received an SMS from an Australian mobile phone number (+61 418 xx_ xx_ number, not a business name). It was addressed to me personally using my first and last names and reads: Note: BPoint is Comm Bank's legitimate platform for processing business payments. Now, it just so...
