I just missed out on the full-house, likely because my meal preference was missing. There is no option to select "yes" as meal preference so I always leave it blank. 10 types of data affected, As far as I am concerned, Tier, Points Balance, and Status Credits are of little concern since that...

75 mins is way too tight for my comfort, especially if desiring a G&T or 2 in the lounge before boarding 😉

I believe Minimum Connection Time (MCT) for Brisbane Domestic to International is 90 mins. You currently only have 85 mins in your connection, so it is not a valid connection. Has one of the flight times changed since it was booked? Or were the two sectors booked separately and on separate...

I hope they do not issue me new FF number. I like my 5-digit number and it is etched in my memory. I hope any such re-issue of membership numbers would be done on an oipt-in basis for those who do hold concerns. Someone knowing my QFF number does not concern me, given that I have 2-factor...

Also note that you can "save" a stopover if you land at one airport, purchase a separate ticket or travel by any other means to another airport and take up your journey from the new port. So, for example, I did a OneWorld Award where we landed into LAX, rented a card and drove around for a few...

Certainly by May 2000, QF25/QF26 was the BNE-AKL-LAX and LAX-AKL-BNE routing. I flew QF25 BNE-AKL-LAX on 1st May 2000, and QF26 LAX-AKL-BNE on 5th May 2000. But I think that was fairly new routing for the flight number at that time. I flew the routing BNE-AKL-LAX the month before as QF53...

And there was me thinking that "Medium" defies the size of a coffee cup... Who'd have thunk 🤷‍♂️

2 wheelers are certainly in the minority in terms of availability. I suspect that is because the manufacturers have found they sell more 4-wheel "spinners" ... mostly because they break more often to owners need to replace them more often. It suites the manufactures to sell more 4-wheelers as...

Yep, I concur. I will not buy a four-wheel "spinner" type case. I much prefer to pull a 2-wheeler behind me where its not going to suddenly stop on a bump/stone/crack and fall over beside or in front of me. And that empty unusable space between the bottom of the case and the bottom of the...

The key, in my (and Mrs. NM) experience is ensuring your roll-aboard bag and "personal" piece can be "connected" for easy transport. For last year's NM's 3-week USA trip, I convinces Mrs NM to go HLO and bought he new carry-on bags for the journey. We bought: American Toiurister AppLite 4E...

I am glad I didn't bother pursuing Green Tier this year. I don't need the status credits (have Lifetime Gold and unlikely to reach Platinum again) and the 10K points does not count towards Points Club. So I can spend about 8K to earn 10K points and decided that was not worth the hassle of...

The Lexus NX350h is based on the Toyota Rav4 platform, so that should give a good idea of size.

@serfty has located some historic timetables in his collection of aviation memorabilia in the past.

When asked what I would do if I was given 10 million dollars, I answered "change my sleeping medication, because its obviously not working since I must have been dreaming"

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) has nothing to do with safety in terms of likelihood of fire or danger for transport . It just means that the materials and manufacturing process complied with the European regulations for not using the most nasty chemicals and that it can be safely...

Ahh, I see. That makes much more sense. Old (retired) suitcases used as accommodations for the family children as they grow and grow. I guess they eventually outgrow the retired suitcase and another new arrival into the family history commences their growing in the retired suitcase. That is a...

As the family are retired? I had a vision of storing cremation urns in suitcases in the attic :eek:

Or ... Starting your day with an early morning run ... means your bathroom is located too far from your bedroom 🏃‍♀️🚽

1980s kidney-like shape, I guess. Certainly not modern. Back when proper pools were tiled.
