    AmEx requiring certified copies of driver's licence or passport of supplementary card members now?

    Same recently, they asked for DL over the phone and when it verified it was an immediate OK. No need to certify anything.

    An Open Letter to my fellow AFF members - External Influence on this website

    I don’t think that would happen anywhere. That said, I see no issue with a member who works for Qantas but posts on a personal account, defending them as they see fit. If you think it’s less personal and more commercial, report and ignore and then you don’t have the issue. But AFF has had...

    Man Removed off JQ Flight After Vaping, Exposing Himself, Taking the Piss

    @Lynda2475 Have to agree with @TheRealTMA, just because person A doesn’t like something doesn’t mean person B should miss out. It’s a slippery slope. I’d be the person eating a snickers and saying you should have brought your epi-pen – taking it a bit far there, but the principal is the same...

    Gold Coast mid-air heli crash.

    Think it was silly of them releasing this information before the full report. All they’ve done is stirred up anger that a residual trace caused this instead of conclusive proof and probably opened the operator up to lawsuits premature to the findings being released. When I heard, my first...

    An Open Letter to my fellow AFF members - External Influence on this website

    I wanted to comment on this thread when I saw it, now looking from the outside once again. Without mentioning names, as that wouldn’t be playing the ball, there are many members on both sides of the fence who frequently post with hidden (or quite obvious) agendas. As I always said when I...

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    Re: Qatar - would this not lead to massive issues for OneWorld membership though? I imagine if QR bought them they’d want to allow their other OW airlines connecting flights with VA, which would essentially mean there was only one alliance in Australia. I’m not sure how the ACCC or other...

    Rockfords discussion

    Lunching. Hoping to do other tastings on Wednesday afternoon and all day Friday. I think we’re heading to Hobbs on Friday as a colleague joining me for lunch knows the owner there.

    First Qantas A220 revealed

    Haven't read every page of this thread, any word on when they expect to start flying them commercially? I suspect my flights next week will be too soon, but wondering when I can expect to board the new aircraft.

    Qantas First Lounge Spa

    I had similar last year when I arrived to MEL for a work trip to AKL, and took up the offer. Was a nice break between my breakfast and lunch :p

    The Whisky Club discussion

    I will also be completing the set this July, but truth be told I haven't been buying much whisky lately. I'm sure saying you can have too much to you doesn't hold much weight, but I have too much not opened to keep buying.

    Wendouree allocations and general discussion

    Thank you for the sage advice. I just added that all up and it's $1200, but I figure I wont get everything, and if I do it's an investment like everything else in my cellar.

    Wendouree allocations and general discussion

    So, I signed up 2 years ago, if that's what you call it, and received a latter back then, and last year a letter to say I couldn't order etc, but just today I have received my first order form. Where are these crayon marks meant to be that everyone talks about? I recall the first few posts of...

    Couldn't keep the plastic card in your board shorts? I could perhaps understand if you had speedos on ;)

    The world’s cheapest business class flight?

    I'm sure I've travelled BA Euro Business back in the past where one direction of a return can be very low in J. Not as low as that, but not much more than double that. I'm not going to try and find receipts, but I know I thought it was a steal at the time, even if BA "dom J" can be a bit lacklustre.

    How do you store your wine [+ Fridge/Cabinet recommendations]

    Seeing as a few are mentioning upcoming Vintec purchases on here, I have been meaning to sell the fridge I used for about a year before I built a proper cellar room. It's a Vintec VWM148SBA-R. It has been turned off for a while now, as I've been too lazy to list it online, but is in good...

    I had meant to ask about it but hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere, what does that set you back?

    Rockfords discussion

    May brings some new vintages to the store. My CC got a workout this evening. Eden Valley Riesling 2022, Frugal Farmer 2022, Moppa Springs 2020 and for those lucky enough the Dry Country 2018 and Shiraz VP 2018.
