Thank you!

I'm trying to book CHC-BNE-SYD-LAX-SYD-BNE-CHC through the QF multi city site and it's just not working, can't figure out the fare. If I do CHC-BNE-LAX-BNE-CHC, it works fine, but only gives me options for QF15/16 and I'd prefer 11/12. Thoughts? Or is this a TA job only?

I saw a suggestion somewhere that while the aircraft is sitting on the ground in LAX for longer, at least when it does, there's more time for maintenance. 🤷‍♀️ That may be a factor.

Contemplating selling some of my ABB shares and investing them ... somewhere else? Not sure where. Waiting to see if Caterpillar has an employee share scheme available to us after their purchase of RUL.

Not sure if it's still happening, but QF11 seems to be retiming to a morning departure from SYD and 6am arrival into LAX from Nov 2026 onwards.

We're due to land around midnight on Friday night, so not sure when we'll wake up. I have a small shopping list of Pascalls and Whittakers to bring back for a colleague (I offered). Apart from that, we plan to brunch, hit one of the museums on the waterfront - which one will depend on when we're...

More updates. At 1:36pm AEST I got an email saying my AusCheck background check was complete. At 2:00pm AET I got an email from US CBP advising I have conditional approval and am invited to complete the enrollment process. That was faster than I expected! I'll do my interview on arrival into...

Monday 29 Dec One of the delights of cruising with Disney is the countdown calendar in the cruise app ... we were finally down to 0 sleeps!! A character displays instead of a 0 during the countdown process. Some devotees collected key countdown pictures in the leadup to the cruise! Mr Katie...

Sunday continued We wandered near the Hilton, the Teen needed to hit Kinokuniya as quickly as possible. We also gave MIL a "voucher" for Kinokuniya for Xmas (in scare quotes because they only sell vouchers in-store and I made a fake one on Xmas morning for her) so she could get a book for the...

OK, I'm back to Copper or whatever "no show" level is. Going to PIT in April instead as I could get better flight prices (Y+ rather than Y).

Applied on Monday night (9/2). Just received the invitation from Home Affairs for Aussie background screening - unfortunately it went into my Junk mail! Quickly found it.

DOH!

RUL will be suspended from quotation on the ASX today. Caterpillar has bought all shares in RUL - well, when they pay out all shareholders on 18 Feb! I'm fascinated that over 8m shares have been traded in the past two days.

For anyone going through BNE Intl without lounge access or when lounges are closed, Boost Juice and Subway have recently closed. The rumour I heard from someone working at one of those establishments is "Emirates bought the space and are putting in a Chinese food place". I'm not sure how many...

Well, I'm starting to count the sleeps until my next FLounge visit ... I mean this dinner!

I’m a late scratching. Have a good night!

Melbourne Victory women's and men's team at ADL last Friday. Took us a while to figure out what Sportsball club they were. Mr Katie spotted a "Victory" somewhere on someone's bag, I think. I could only see sponsor names on their clothing.

Count me in.

@Mattg I notice the menu online said one bill per table - but maybe you already have experience splitting bills there? Just wanted to check. I'm still not sure if I can make it next week.

Just so people know, it's Supanova in Radelaide that weekend. Probably just means a higher likelihood of seeing people in Cosplay around and about.
