It's true - Lindsay popped my proverbial 'AFFers-live' cherry - I'll never be the same again! Happy to report, not so scary, quite a delight in fact... although I'm going to have to lift my GCC game in light of having a pretty fit team captain... gym, here i come!

I took my mum to Thailand a few years ago. She loves elephants & i was hoping to take her to Chang Mai - they have elephant sanctuaries you can stay at & feed/bathe them.. but we didn't make it there this time. Mum still talks about our stay at the Bangkok Pullman (exec floor).. infinity pool...

Breaking up with a boyfriend in America (that part I don't regret!) before I got around to doing 'the next trip' over to take on the AA Platinum Challenge...

Wow - nice kits, Virgin have really done their homework. Kudos to Virgin for using Australian made & owned, organic skin products! I use and love Grown products & could do with some of those travel minis, so I'll be eagerly keeping an eye out for these amenity kits for sale on eBay.... or what...

~Doh! Should've read Swanning_it's response first... but it still might apply to others ~ I was going to mention the Velocity email preferences also. I'm a lowly peasant Silver & I've received all the Velocity offers going around the past few months, most likely (I'm guessing) because I have...

Hang on now, I resemble that remark! ;)

I've never had a fly buys card and the new offering is totally non-inviting. My sister, however, works for Coles and is keen about it as employees get more points.. and bright blue shirts to promote the roll out.

Got the email offer for Platinum card - same as the offer i received in the post a few weeks back: 30,000 pts/ 75 SC/ spend $500 within 3 months (I'm Silver). My mum also got an email offer for a Gold card: 20,000 pts/ 50SC/ $500 spend within 3 months/ annual fee of $199 but only pay $99 for...

hmm... they should change the name from fly buys to "buys"...

sjf, how are you finding the Fitbit? Have you tried the sleep monitoring? I've heard some Aussie users have issues logging into the website, but the product itself looks just the ticket. I've ordered one & looking forward to it arriving - currently have no idea how many steps I'm doing a day, I...

Well.. it starts with being handed a luxurious smoking jacket & matching slippers, escorted to your private suite whereupon you are fed hand-peeled grapes...

I'll say! I've had some enjoyable & well priced flights to BKK, enjoying on departure upgrade & nice J SC earn. Checking out what Jetstar has to offer lately was a bit of a shock - the "cheapest" return flight MEL>BKK I could see in J was $1,770 :shock: with $400 of that being for the pleasure...

Congrats Fifa, cheers to getting fitter with a touch of luxury!

Email received & logged on website. Woot - Status Runners! I'm in Brisbane re: distribution of packs around that date.

That's also why I used to avoid DJ - the airhead jokes from the minute you'd set foot on the aircraft was like you were getting on a party bus. I thought if there was ever an emergency situation on board, these are exactly the people i DON'T want to be in charge!

hmm.. I'm looking to make the most of the double SC offer, but I haven't found any great options - certainly not in the short haul Int's. With the OOL>MEL run in J currently over $1000 return for 120 SC, it would be cheaper (but more time consuming) to do some Flexi returns at under $400 for...

Amen to that! Musicians & 5am Call in the same sentence? :lol:

I think it's a great idea, I would consider MH for a long haul. Unlike the disruptive loud adults who usually get drunk and crash out early on, the screaming kids saga (and kicking the back of chairs, running up and down the aisles, throwing stuff... i once woke with a start when a wet dummy...

ahh, "the angry traveler" - this one makes me smile actually. The number of times I've been delayed at some random airport, there's always someone bursting a blood vessel and ranting/being belligerent at airline staff. Apart from making things unpleasant for everyone around them, it's behavior...
