A few years ago I took up an offer that was mentioned on the website for a citibank gold credit card which came with no annual fee ever. At a later date, everyone was offered the option to keep the gold card or upgrade to the platinum card (there were some associated changes with the rewards...

Hello, My mother uses a CPAP and is travelling to the US later this year. Her current machine is a real old clunker, so it's certainly not suitable to take with her. I've noticed a few mentions of CPAPs on this site, so I figure there are at least a few people here who use them, and also...

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a travel insurance policy that covers a premature birth? The scenario: Travel to the US at > 20 weeks, but < 26 weeks pregnant Medically assisted pregnancy I see that there are a few travel policies that cover the medically assisted pregnancy - with...

I'd choose alternative. The travellex cash passport is a complete waste of time.

OK thanks for that. I'm free to shop as much as I like (well two bags worth at least)!

Hello, I'm looking at booking a flight with AA from LAS to LAX, then picking up my work booked flight back to Aus. My understanding of the information on the AA website is that as a Silver Qantas FF member which = Ruby oneworld status, I don't have to back the extra $ for baggage (i.e. the $25...

Hi, I'm looking at booking a flight from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. Three airlines seem to have cheap fares around the same price US Airways, United and Continental. If you were flying - which would you choose? After landing at LA I would be connecting to another flight to return to...

Qantas reviewed their special meals last year, and no longer offer the low fat option (not sure about the other two). The diabetic meal should be low fat, but you may have the FAs assuming you are diabetic (which may or may not be irritating to you). For some reason, on all the domestic...

Took a virgin blue flight this weekend just passed. There wasn't anything on the flight to change my perception. 1. As previously stated - no lounge access 2. Had quite a low cost feel to it with the announcements of 'swipe you credit card to watch tv', 'to purchase a cold drink, our...

I'm another who hadn't been on DJ for years. Had a flight earlier this year, and didn't really enjoy it for three reasons: 1. No lounge access 2. Was sat next to someone who I'm supect is going to grow up to be a serial killer. (Not DJ's fault, but all part of the experience) 3. The headrest...

You'll have to declare them as pre-existing conditions, and pay extra to have them covered. Can't comment on the liver - but have found in the past that covermore will cover the gallbladder.

I was staying in San Diego and joined a small bus trip to go over for a morning of shopping. I was a little surprised that no-one wanted to see my passport on the way in - different story on the way out! As others have said, the queues to leave can be lengthy, although the day I went it...

Olympic hockey final forced Air Canada to delay flight The flight was delayed (article doesn't say how long) as passengers were too busy watching the game to heed calls to board. To be fair, it was a very exciting game.

As mine wear out, I save them. When I'm going on a trip where washing is going to be a problem I wear one last time and then discard. Don't have to worry about washing and drying!

Actually I hadn't even thought about the A380. I'd be happy just to have a spare seat between us.

QF9 flies out of Melbourne to heathrow at 3.30pm, QF29 goes after 10.00pm. Both times have pros and cons. My question is - which flight is less likely to fill up? Is there one of the two that is usually busier than the other?

I've heard mentioned, that for older people (say 70+) it is better to break up a long haul flight by having a stop over in between. The thinking being that it helps to adjust to the jet lag better. I'm curious to know what other people think? I've never made a stop-over, and I'm curious, does...

Excellent idea, until you need to travel somewhere that the 'mainline' carriers have abandoned. Newcastle springs to mind. Can't remeber the last time I had an on time departure out of that place.

Low fat meals are no longer available. Qantas removed that option last year.

The article doesn't mention what happened to the 'running and screaming' children or their parents.
