    Launceston Long Weekend

    Last weekend I headed to Launceston for the Anzac Day long weekend. The last time I was there I was 4 or 5 years old with two vague memories: taking the chair lift across Cataract Gorge and visiting a park that had a giant shoe with a slippery dip. So needless to say I was long over due for a...

    BA Seat Advice

    Im flying BA192 DFW to LHR which is a A380-800 in J. Disapointingly this seems to be an older plane which has some backward facing seats (not newer 1-2-1 layout I flew last year). For seat selection seems to be a choice between Main Deck or Upper Deck - any recommendations as to which is...

    New Luggage - Delsey or Antler? Suitcase Covers?

    My trusty Antler carry-on soft sided was damaged when I checked it on the flight to CBR for the AFF Weekend in 2019 after 13 years of reliable use; and my favourite 67cm Samsonsite checked hard case purchased for the bargain price of USD$30 when I needed a last minute case after too much outlet...

    QF Hotels Points

    I find it frustrating how slow points from QF Hotels bookings take to post, when flight points for the same trip post before landing and uber airport trips within a day.
