    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    But the UK is still in Europe (geographically), just not part of the EU (as are Andorra and others). Although it could be argued that the UK has never been part of Europe culturally.

    Bankwest Transaction account - Earn 10,000 bonus Qantas Points

    So the lesson is "don't phone and draw attention to yourself". Better to wait patiently for a month or two before following up. Never a good idea to ring a bank/airline/hotel regarding good point hacks as it can lead to the hack being closed down.

    Bankwest Transaction account - Earn 10,000 bonus Qantas Points

    Well I have to take it back. I made 2 purchases on the last day of my third statement period but as noted above they showed on my statement as "pending" and didn't post until the following statement. However, despite this, my 10,000 bonus points came through with the following month's...

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Not sure he did you a favour; sounds more like you got scammed. I've experienced similar. The motel accepts the cheap booking through an aggregator but when they find that night is heavily booked they cancel the cheap bookings and put it back out on their own site at a higher price. Call me...

    Woolworths gift card thread

    Thanks to @VantageXL for posting the lists of where the various cards can be used. I went to my local WOW to get some of the "Baby & Mum" cards to use at The Good Guys. The cards they had in stock only had a about 9 retailers printed on them; The Good Guys and many others were missing (old...

    Velocity to partner with 7-Eleven

    I think the OP's comment was a very subtle tongue-in-cheek remark; so subtle that many seem to have missed it.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    We find eucalyptus oil does the trick. We got a small (<100ml) empty glass bottle from our local pharmac_, stuffed it with cotton wool and then filled it with eucalyptus oil. Sniffing the aroma on take off or landing helps clear those ear/nasal passages. (Don't use a plastic bottle as the...

    My recent experience with "Qantas Loyalty" has been dreadful; useless would be being kind.

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    The multi-city tool has only allowed 6 segments for a couple of years now. If the total points are above the Oneworld Award limit (318k for J), you are in breach of one of the rules (possibly using an airline that is not part of Oneworld?). Why not post your itinerary so that we can take a...

    Thanks for that. I've found that if you put the SKU into the search bar (minus the MYS, or course) it will take you directly to the normal offer! Mystery solved...

    Christmas on steroi_s 🧑‍🎄🎅🎄🦌🛷

    I'ld be asking for 100%; that's what they should have offered before the cruise. The fact that they went ahead without telling you there were problems ahead and that the cruise would be disrupted makes matters worse IMHO.

    Japan Airlines plane in flames at Tokyo's Haneda airport

    In my previous life as a mariner, I've been in a situation where I was attempting to assist/rescue another vessel that had grounded on rocks on a falling tide and was in a quite dangerous predicament. The skipper of the other vessel became frozen with fear: didn't know what to do, couldn't...

    Using qantas points for internal LATAM flights

    We used QF points for some internal LATAM flights in 2018 (LIM-AQP, AQP-LIM-CUZ); no problems at all, bags were included. Of course things could have changed since then.
