Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone has recent experience with tipping in Argentina and Brazil? Is it expected/mandatory? Is it only for good service? What is the standard %? Basically, what is the accepted tipping culture? Thanks in advance. JV

I noticed that I didn't receive QF Business Rewards for my recent trip to NZ so I put in a missing points claim and received the email below in italics. I've always received business rewards for my flights in the past so I'm wondering if this is an enhancement to the program or I've just got...

Many countries are introducing “digital nomad visas” however, France isn’t one of them; at least not exactly. So, if you want to stay in France for an extended period of time, you have to apply for a long-term visa. I thought I would start a thread on French long-term visas so that I could...

I was in the Sydney Domestic J lounge yesterday and was surprised to see Rosé available: None of the reds took my fancy. And my pet hate: why do they insist on opening 9 bottles of sparkling all at once the moment the bar opens? Most of them go flat long before they are consumed. (First...

Can anybody make use of a QF lounge invitation before 15 June? I have two expiring. Note that according to the QF website, they cannot currently be used in any of the following: Adelaide Qantas Club Broome Qantas Club Darwin International Transit Lounge Gold Coast Qantas Club Kalgoorlie...

With QF continuing to fly to Norfolk, I thought I would start a thread for members to share their comments and recommendations on places to stay, or avoid, on Norfolk Island. What's good value, what isn't, etc.?

Looks like Air Niugini has enchanced their loyalty program! Just received the following email: At least they lasted a little longer than KrisFlyer points:rolleyes:

Just realised I have a few lounge passes I can't use (as QF keep cancelling my flights). This one expires in a few weeks. Happy to transfer it to anyone who can make use of it but preference will be given to the first applicant/member who has made more than 100 posts. Send me a private...

I had an annual multi-trip policy that started on 1 May 2019. Obviously I wasn't able to get much benefit from it after February. I hadn't thought about the policy as I didn't have any trips planned so I was surprised to receive an email from NIB at the end of November suggesting that I may...

Reports this morning that VA are offering a status match to QF Gold members and above. JH was on Sunrise this morning and it is also (paywalled) reported here...

Aegean has an interesting promotion where members can donate miles to one of the referral hospitals (in Greece) and Aegean will triple them: You donate miles. We triple them. This is the least we can do together, for those who are currently doing everything they possibly can for us...

I have a few Club Marriott Asia Pacific vouchers that I am not going to be able to redeem before they expire. Please note: they all expire at the end of November, so please don't ask if you can't use them by then; let them go to someone who will definitely use them :) Complimentary Room...

There is a lot of wonderful information about the Qantas Oneworld (Multi-City) Classic Flight Reward on this thread: Oneworld Classic Award However, I have often wondered why there is no equivalent, dedicated thread where members can share information, tips, booking experiences, etc. for the...

I should have started this thread back in October when +1 (@Gem56) and I headed off on our trip to India after attending AFF12 in Adelaide. Our excuse: well it was a busy trip with little down time and we've been busy since our return (you know: Christmas and all that). Oh well, better late...

I have a couple of passes expiring in the next couple of days which I had forgotten about. Due to the last minute nature of this offer I'm happy to pass them on to anyone who can use them. Send me a private message (conversation) with date of flight. JV
