With around 8 Antonov flights to Noumea in recent weeks (with what one would assume is full of military /riot equipment), not sure France is expecting a quick resolution. Pick a quiet island away from the city.

10th June posting of my SC’s for May

I carbon offset my status runs……. to get green status and more status credits :)…… so that is what correctly priced status credits look like.

Agree…… but noting if I paid a hefty sum for status with Qantas, I will still be loyal to them, to get the return on my investment and the perks of the status. Accor and IHG, both offer options to “buy” status and I for one have been a frequent user of their paid programs. So I think there...

Unfortunately the Port Moresby daytime flights from Asia, will have to be ruled out of the equation........ since PNG is part of the Australian Continent and is not in Asia :) but a wonderful daytime flight anyway :) and a hidden gateway to Asia.

Had the same thing....... turns out the system recognised a recent St George card (closed 12 months earlier) as being an active Westpac Account CRN....... no idea why on lots of fronts...... but guessing the back end systems are merging St George and Westpac CRN's...... either way, it all...

The day after all the terms and conditions for award of points and posting of points, have been met. Facebook seems to be the most responsive contact method

I definitely support keeping good records, as noted eligibility rules change as do the benefits/costs associated with renewal etc. I have 13 years of records (for myself and partner), both churning 3 cards per year, but never churning in succession or any pattern. I try to hold on to cards as...

Antonov AN-124 just landed in Noumea (from France, via Cairns). Not sure it is there for evacuations. Must be bringing in some big hardware.......

100% agree. If in your seat, put your seatbelt on, no other instruction is needed around this. The only additional piece of information needed is when the crew instruct you to return to your seats….. then the default rule once again applies, put your seatbelt on. If we do anything with the...

Interesting info that Escape Lounges has taken over Cairns International. I have not seen them specifically mentioned in any media releases (only that SQ will be the airline that the lounge would be serving). What other insight to you have here (specifically with respect to who they might...

I haven't seen any data points since @Mattg original post on Economy Lite fares, so quick update from me...... it is now possible to upgrade some? all? Economy Lite fares through the UpgradeMe process, just had both my legs of a super cheap Economy Lite fares successfully upgraded through...

Agree, QF may be able to claim it wasn't an "incident" because in their eyes it did not compromise their business (in a hackers eyes, their business definitely had points where it was compromised)...... but the focus in their wording "there is no evidence of a cyber....." was clearly to draw the...

An update on the Qantas App issue “On Wednesday we experienced an issue with the homepage……..” Nope - it was broader than the homepage. “there is no evidence of a cyber incident.” Nope - a cyber incident includes events that are a failure of safeguards or a previously unknown situation that...

Take advantage of Flybuy’s bonuses that align with your existing spend patterns, so essentially they are zero cost for points or close to the $0.01 per dollar arising from fees……. Flybuys often give spend $50/month for 4 weeks months for 10,000 points (5,000 velocity points/month) Coles often...

Not sure I have seen any reductions……. June, July and Aug 2023 I was purchasing Brisbane to Cairns for $532 (for dates 2 to 6 month out). Now $591 as you note, so it has gone up slightly for the BNE-CNS route. I have experienced same experience as you with travel agents pricing for Qantas...

Yep, lots of problems for a long time - Clear Cache, Change Browser, Log-in to account first, one or many of those solutions will work :-). I have installed Duck-Duck-Go browser on my iPad as a very quick way to start again with a clean browser when I experience issues like this on my everyday...

Agree. Very common. I always test run with one seat to find route and pricing, then go to two seats to validate availability at that pricing.

Technically yes, you loose the priority boarding if on different tickets. In Practice - you never do. I have done this for years with myself and my partner. Lounge access is different, you are a guest of your partner either way (same or different tickets). So once again no issues

It not clear to me that the x20 applies to anything but the Apple Cards…… the x20 is surrounded by Apple logos to to left and above…… the t+c below the x20 does not say what cards are included, so I will be interested to see if it does apply to Visa pre-paid etc….
