In an article discussing Armourguard's financial siutation, the Australian Financail Review wrote: Could this posisbly be right? Does Australia even have civilian freighters of this size? I can understand higher security freight containers, but transporting a whole truck seems excessive. For...

I fell in love with US-based car rental company Silvercar over several rentals in 2019. The service and (exclusively Audi) cars were a real step above the usual rental companies. Post-COVID, I can see they've re-branded to Audi on Demand and closed their airport locations. All rentals are now...

Travelling over the last week has certainly been a unique experience. I thought I would share an update on the JAL First Class Lounge at HND. The main JAL First and Business lounges are currently closed for refurbishment (website says completion end of March 2020). So we were directed to the JAL...

Can anyone help with a creative solution to a problem I have. I've got SYD-HKG-SYD booked in J on QF which was booked during a double SC offer. I now want to add a HKG-USM-HKG flight. USM-HKG arrives in HKG at 4pm and HKG-SYD departs at 11:30pm. I don't mind the transit, but I worry that if I...

After a weekend spent watching the Dubai Rugby Sevens (despite the poor quality Foxtel Go feed while travelling) I've gotten excited about the 2017 series and am thinking about tickets to the Hong Kong Sevens in 2017. Does anyone have any advice on the best way to get tickets? I'm not a fan of...

Hi All. After enjoying a great weekend at the Rugby Sevens in Sydney, I've decided to plan an upcoming SIN trip so that it coincides with the Singapore leg of the Rugby Sevens tour. Does anyone have tips/advice for watching matches at the National Stadium in Singapore? Rugby Sevens tournaments...

Hi Everyone, I'm meeting some friends in Zurich at the end of August and we're planning to head to Interlaken for 4 nights. Can anyone recommend activities and accommodation? In terms of accommodation, I've looked at hotels via TripAdvisor and also Airbnb but nothing has stood out a...

Hertz currently has a promo for 15% off weekend hires in Sydney (maybe other areas too). The Promo Code is:196582 The source is: https://www.hertz.com.au/p/hire-a-car/australia/new-south-wales/sydney When I made a booking for this weekend, the discount seemed a lot more than 15%. I booked the...

Hi Everyone, My partner and I are treating ourselves to a short trip (4 nights) to Koh Samui in mid-December and are staying at the Conrad. The hotel has gotten great reviews and there's no doubt that a lot of our holiday will be spent relaxing in our villa. But I can't spend an entire holiday...

I've come across an offer for new members to join Club Carlson and be instantly upgraded to Gold Level. Sign up at: An offer for <br />American Express Cardmembers And choose a continental European country in your personal details. I've successfully used this with Germany as my country...

I just got an email from EY announcing that you can now place bids to upgrade from Economy to Business or Business to First. Details are at ::ETIHAD AIRWAYS:: Seems that you can place a bid (with credit card details) 10 days prior and receive confirmation 2days prior. I'll be curious to hear...

I'm a Gold VA member and haven't redeemed my Hotel Loyalty offer. I already have Gold HHonors and in a few months time, I expect to make it to VA platinum. With that, I expect to receive the HHonors Diamond offer. Does redeeming the Hhonors offer at Gold stop me redeeming it at plat? Or does it...

Qantas currently have a sale for cheap return flights SYD-CGK-SYD. They're charging $1k to fly SYD-CGK but a return flight splits it as $423 SYD-CGK and $631 CGK-SYD. I am considering booking the return ticket with the SYD-CGK leg as a "Sale" fare and CGK-SYD as a "Flexi Saver". After I have...

Hi All, Does anyone have a limo service recommendation for OOL?

I'm considering flying EY on DPS-AUH-DUB-AUH-SYD in J. The DPS-AUH leg is via KUL with KUL-AUH on an EY flight number and EY metal. For DPS-AUH it is EY flight number on MH metal. So my question is, will I be able to earn Velocity Points and SCs?

I completed the Hilton Racing fast track offer and, when I wasn't automatically upgraded to Gold, emailed Hilton to question it. I was told "2 of the stays you have had are not eligible stays and therefore will not count towards the fast track." I guess she's referring to two stays I made using...

I booked a ticket yesterday from KIX to CNS on JQ and, when I got to the payment step, found that the only accepted credit cards were Visa or MC. I'm assuming that this was because I booked ex Japan even though it gave me the option of paying in AUD or JPY. But does anyone know how I could...

I’m planning my first Circle Pacific trip for later in the year and have a gotten a lot of great advice from the archives. Thanks so much to everyone! At the moment, routing would be something like DPS-SIN-HKG-NRT-SFO-LAS-LAX-SYD-DPS which fits into a DCIR22. The aim would be to ticket...

I am looking to take a short trip to Fiji next month. QF have $AU331 flights (SYD-NAN) each way on their Australian site and aprox $AU164 each way on their South Pacific website. Is there anything to stop me booking from South Pacific site and getting the cheaper flights?

Having recently traveled a fair bit around Europe (on MANY different airlines) I became very used to having my ID checked (or at least glanced at) before boarding each flight. But now that I'm back in AUS I've not been asked for ID on any of my domestic QF flights; using both business and...
