Bank card is a little different to web security - the issuer of that bank card wouldn't allow you to have a 4 number pin to log on to your bank account via the web. So 4 number pin is the norm - just thought I was missing something. Still doesnt explain why Qantas website (Link here : Qantas...

As per link below the Qantas Points website it talks about entering a strong pin, but I only have the option to have a 4 number pin. That doesn't seem very secure in this day and age Click this link - Qantas Frequent Flyer Member Security From Qantas Points Website Just like passwords, PINs...

Thank-you all. You are all very wise and helpful.

Hi We have a Visa for China. On the application we gave our hotel details but are now thinking about changing hotels in Shanghai. How strict are Chinese immigration on this and is there anything we need to do to do this?

Was going to suggest the same - there is one down the road from lax :lol:

Got done big in Egypt in my younger days and lived in Europe for a couple of years. (The Gypsies are pretty good at it) but good to have a heads up on the local tweak of a scam and ways to avoid. Thanks

Just googled it - quite a few to be wary off Cheers. One guy suggested to pretend to be French and not speak English.... Bonjour.

Cheers Mogul - I think we will stay here. Any tips. We have got the Bund view room booked. How is the breaky at this hotel?

Westin St Francis - it is on Union Square. Love this hotel. Personally I would not stay in Fishermen s Wharf area - too touristy. Take the BART to Berkeley and walk around the University of California Berkeley. (CAL Bears). We just walked around. We watched a basketball practice inside stadium...

Hi all, Off to Shanghai next month for the first time (4 nights Saturday to Tuesday). A couple of friends have said to stay near the Bund because this is where it is all happening. Is The Bund a touristy area? Is The Bund similar to Fisherman’s Wharf in SF, Times Sq in NYC or Darling Harbour in...

Thanks - I better hurry up and go get a Visa then. I am glad I asked

Hi all - I stumbled across this travel podcast from Conde Nast that some of you may be interested in. Some good ones and not so good ones. Condé Nast Traveler 'Travelogue:' Introducing Our New Podcast

Having 4 nights in Hong Kong then flying to Shanghai for 4 nights. We are then off to Singapore (3rd Country) for a night but transferring through HGK for a hour. Should be ok for the 144 Visa - right?

Hello wise people, Hoping for some advice. We have a J class flight from Shanghai to Singapore. Same ticket - Dragon to Hong Kong then CX to Singapore. Q1. Same terminal but only 55 mins transit time - is this enough time to transfer? What is Dragon reliability like? Q2. Because it is J...

Hi all, Just wanted to check my calculations as it doesn't seem right. Using my Commbank Diamond AMEX I can earn 3 Commbank points for every $ spent. Then the transfer rate is 1 QFF point for every 2 Commbank award points. So end result is for every $1000 I spend I can earn 1500 QFF points...

I did a few of the Islands as a backpacker about 15 years ago. They are all great. Santorini was the best but we also enjoyed Crete. Even as a backpacker we paid extra for a cliff hotel for a night in Santorini. If you are going to ride the donkeys get them going up the mountain not down, ...

Thanks for checking it out for me dfcatch. Originally we had booked a return flight to Honolulu and back with points (Jetstar - Star Class). My wife has recently finished 6 months cancer treatment (chemo etc). So we were thinking this weekend, life is too short - stuff it we will take the kids...

Thanks RooFlyer, Lucky I asked. I phoned Qantas and they agreed and said technically that they couldn't cancel that sector only. He then put me on hold for a few minutes and came back and said he had cancelled the leg for me. Great customer service from Qantas.

Thanks all for the very wise information. :D This was a flight that was booked BNE - LAX on same ticket (classic points) and this is the flight it gave me. I did think it seems rushed that is why I asked you all. I think I might book a separate Qantas Flight for earlier in the day. If I do...
