Internationally, one way revenue flights tend to be WAY more expensive than half of a return. You would be better off looking for return flights for some members using rewards, and paying return flights for others. One of the standard approaches is to look for cheaper return flights into...

I doubt that it will cause issues at check in, but that is not really the point here. When you have connections on the one ticket like this, you are "protected" in that the airline needs to look after you if you misconnect due to delays on the incoming leg and the like. They don't really care...

Add Hertz to the list with electric vehicles, and mystery vehicles which specifically note that mystery includes electric possibility.

No, as a base case this is correct. This is the absolute worst case value - i.e. the cash equivalent that you can always achieve. As you would already be in the money so to speak in this scenario, the fact that there are many even better values that can be obtained with those points makes...

The criteria for changing names on domestic have rather restrictive (i.e. expensive) fare bucket rules as well, so not sure how good a value it is. What would happen if you used the credit to book a domestic ticket (in the original name) then try and change the name on that? As long as the...

Sounds about right. It is quite a long way around by road. Timing can depend on how quick the border controls are, which can depend on time of day, as well as normal traffic considerations.

You can play around with some of the aggregators to see who can book the same thing cheaper - klook can be quire good - can probably get the cost down to more like $AUD 130 - 175 - but still a lot more expensive than the train (but lugging large amounts of luggage on the train - especially with...

They really up the price when you start involving dual registered vehicles and transits across the border, but that price form downtown Hong Kong to Kai Tak is over the top - just get a taxi or an Uber for that sort of trip.

Depends on the budget. If you have lots of luggage, and want point to point, something like Asia Car Service will pick you up from wherever and drop you at the airport. Depending on how the wind is blowing / what changes have happened, have had both just sit in the car as you go through...

I suspect whether or not they extend the waiver will have a lot to do with how much has been spent on the card in the last year. For various reasons, I had to put a fair bit through the card over the last year.

Just got the same email. Looks like a batch run happening....

Assuming that all flights are QF, then you should be Ok according to Through Check Policy It should have no impact on the DSC. Whether the desk agent at NTL is prepared to do it or not is a different question.

Beware - that is overhead damage, and not covered by the excess or the insurance. Renter will likely be up for the full cost of repairs (to both the truck and the structure they have hit).

There would be a good reason for that. I highly doubt that the scales they have at that point have all the necessary approvals and checks done (especially since they are moving them around) to comply with Australian Trade Measurement laws - and since they are "selling" a cabin bag up t that...

The other thing that comes into play here, with differential rates for different origins is all sorts of artificial avoidance. If there is a 100% tariff applied from Country A, but only 10% from Country B, and no tariffs between Country A and Country B, then the goods origin can be switched to...

Sorry no.. See IATA Guidance on Baggage Standards Baggage rules apply to an entire Itinerary as stated in all three interpretations. This either follows IATA Resolution 302, or for travel involving US or Canada U.S. DOT Regulation399.87 or CTA Order 2014-A-158 respectively. The general IATA...

Agree. Because US destinations are not part of the EK agreement, and as all destinations that are part of the EK agreement use weight, EK have implemented the status based baggage allowances and being extra weight, and nothing to do with extra pieces. Once you end up with a ticket with an...

If you look at Qantas Wines, and the bonus point offers you can buy points for as low as 2.3c per point, and get bonus wine as well.

It is counting on some cardholders consuming less of the extras than the annual fee, but it is also counting on those extras driving lots of spending on the card generating fees from the merchants. All the travel insurance basically requires lots of spend to be put on the card - all the...

The annual fee covers lots of things - depends which you use. It also pays for the Travel credits, the Travel Insurance itself, the various cashback offers like shop small, extra points earn etc. Depends on what you value. The insurance is very good in some respects, but not so useful in...
