    Status run - waste of money [if work pays for J travel]?

    Hi fellow FFers, Just want to see if you concur.... that personal status "top-up" run, just to achieve / keep a status for future benefits especially for Y travel is a waste of money, I believe for most of us 1. work pays for J travel, in this case all the benefits such as lounge access /...

    Has anyone tried hiring a car via QF.com ?

    Please share your experience. Recently I booked a car for 2 days to be picked up from LHR on 25/Dec/2009. Only QF.com allows me to reserve a car this far ahead. (given the lack of transport options during Xmas day there) Thanks
