Asking for a friend, clearly….. at what point would you pay a fine for exceeding speed limit by 17kph? Hire car company added €40 to the bill, queried and now have a copy of a speeding fine. The plan is to wait for Spanish authorities to send the fine.

After 7 weeks and multiple airlines, it’s marvellous to be able to report that at no stage were we separated from our luggage. The AirTags were a back up and I’d still recommend them. Airlines we used were: Qantas, American, United, Eurowings, Lufthansa, Jet2. All in all, a most enjoyable trip...

Asking for a friend and I don’t have many details but their flight to Christchurch was diverted to Wellington due to fog, they had to pay for a hotel. Does this seem right?

As part of our trip Sep-Nov, we are flying in and out of Malaga. We have two weeks, and yet to decide whether we will stay around Malaga, hire a car or use trains which are fast to go long distances, eg up to Madrid Anyone have recommendations for smaller towns to stay in the south where we...

How would you spend a day or two in Orlando? Have visited Florida often and this time arriving in Orlando. We can either sleep the night and drive to Fort Myers to stay with friends, or spend a day or two around Orlando. We really have no interest in theme parks, so what else? Maybe it’s just...

Family due to fly Mel to Chch at 9am in the morning, text to say flight is cancelled….they were already asleep with transport etc all arranged very early. There’s a 6.25pm flight so we are hoping it’s a replacement and all passengers can be put on that. A particular reason they need to be in...

Finding Reasonable Fares Our 5th visit to Japan was our longest trip there to date. With our travel buddies, we were very keen to book tickets for a Christmas trip as soon as independent travellers were allowed to return. Flight prices almost killed the trip. Qantas was charging more than...

PR have just changed our December flights and we now need to overnight in Manila rather than at Haneda. Any suggestions for somewhere we can easily get to after 7pm arrival and for 9am departure? The closer the better. Thanks.

We are on QF1 on Monday night, Singapore to London, but can’t see any seats selected for us. We rang the Qantas platinum customer service number, answered immediately and were told “airport has control” and he wasn’t able to select any either. At this stage he said one of us is stuck in the...

The option of $10 a day for Optus is too pricey for 40 days. I used to buy a sim in Europe mostly for when there’s no wifi. That worked well. Anyone used a good plan lately for Singapore, England, Italy?

We are flying from Alice Springs to London via Port Stephens this month. Yes….☺️ Has anyone recently visited, know a good place for a birthday dinner? I wonder if Rick Stein’s place is worth a try. Happy to hear from anyone who knows the area, completely unknown to us. Thanks.

We watched 4 Singapore Airlines A380s come into Alice this morning to be looked after until they’re needed. Both fantastic and sad at the same time.

Very disappointed to arrive at the airport for my flight and find the lounge is closed for renovation for two months. That’s ok except couldn’t QF let members know prior? And is it a fair compensation to be offered a $15 voucher at the airport cafe as compensation? Is that all a visit is worth...

We haven’t driven south from Barcelona to Malaga before so wondering if anyone has any must see stopping points. So far we have booked accommodation at Barcelona, Atafulla and Valencia. We have been to Granada a few times so might not go that far inland. We like small towns, less visited places...

Anyone feel like recommending a good Japanese restaurant not too far from the station? Not looking for Michelin starred quality. It’s for tomorrow night! Thanks

We’ve used this card for years and still think it is really good. But we can’t find accurate information about whether you can preload then withdraw cash, without it being treated as a cash advance. Their website doesn’t address the issue. Anyone had actual experience that’s recent? Posts here...

5 minutes after driving into Toulouse, we spotted an odd plane overhead. Research showed it was a Beluga. Great place to see it flying.

i wonder why the Mel-Darwin flight has just landed in Alice at 11pm tonight. Very unusual to hear so something must be wrong.

We are considering a few days with hired ebikes, maybe around Bordeaux. Does anyone have any experience of hiring in France?

Does anyone know why it flew in tonight? Conspicuous by its size .....
