    Plane Evacuation Discussion

    Well done! for spotting it. I suspect the first batch slid down the slide and then the stairs arrived and once the stairs arrived no one went down the stairs. There were a total of 3 starboard slides deployed- 2 behind the wing and 1 in front of the wing. Perhaps the 1R door slide failed to...

    But not an issue with retail or industry super funds 👍 ....... Retiring and living overseas with super/pension is quite attractive for many people especially when the AUD goes further in many parts of the world. There are of course ATO rules for tax residency. If deemed by the ATO to be a tax...

    First Time MH Business flight

    Possibly, though i think that is a OW rule rather than an explicit MH policy. Whether the lounge dragons know about it is another story. As always worth trying.

    What cheeses me off

    It was extremely good in Japan At the dropoff at the Shinkansen station, she was on crutches and proceeded to go to the station Out of the blue a uniformed attendant rushed out with a wheelchair. From there the attendant organised an escort to ensure she got onto the right platform, right door...

    What cheeses me off

    Agree When Mrs QS got a tibia fracture in japan, she had superlative service from Japan - Shinkansen and train station attendants and airport. Arrival back into SYD, wheelchair service organised but they could not push the wheelchair past the exit glass doors at arrival:mad:. And anyone...

    Retirement Planning & Experiences

    An expired medicare care cannot be used to claim Reciprocal health care. My understanding is that if Medicare Card expires while overseas BUT if overseas stay is less than 5 years, the card can be renewed as per usual processes on return to Australia. I assume a new card will be posted in any...

    No difference between that air-route and the one a little north given the purported range of the ballistic missiles. ........ Ok I surrender. Mushy peas and gravy with fish and chips is not my thing. 🤣 And OK, they don't have Chicken salt over there either.....

    The only issue is then Medicare. Eligible so long as card is expiry date valid. Just need to return to AU within 5 years to ensure new Medicare card is issued, otherwise there is a bit of rigmarole to go through if out of AU > 5 years.

    Read about my recent lounge experience at SYD and the ensuant debate. (From post #198) SYD-KUL Plaza Premium technically but you could try the QF temp lounge under OW rules However if you are a J passenger, PP will send you to the adjacent Skyteam lounge (entry next door but take escalator...
