I find when using a VPN, that some web sites only seem to work with some browsers. Computershare only seems to like Firefox, and others only like Chrome etc. So maybe try different browsers if using a VPN.

So in a row of three seats, you are in seat one, and hold seat two. The guy in seat three starts putting his stuff on the empty seat two. Cue the next in flight drama.

I've flown EK a few times and could never understand the hype. Their J product is fine but standard like most full service airlines. I'll def give them a miss now.

Sure. A hotel bill for INR26940.03 came through at AUD $553.75. Even with a really bad exchange rate (using OANDA Converter), I would have thought that it should have been AUD $524 approx. Another amount of INR2484, came through at $50.43. A bad exchange rate would have been $48.33. Yeah, I...

I have just been overseas and used my 28 Degrees c/card quite a bit as I always do while travelling, but this is the first time I have done so since Latitude took over the card. I noticed this time that the exchange rates are fairly terrible. Under GE, the exchange rates were fairly good,but...

There always seems to be plenty of credit cards that you can sign up for, to obtain extra sign on points. However, I have noticed that the offer usually does not apply to existing card holders and they cannot take advantage of these points. So my question is - if you are say, an existing Amex...

I always just book to another Euro city and then just get a cheap internal flight to London or use the train. I find that there are more seats to other capital cities and the taxes etc are considerably cheaper than for London, which pay for the internal flights.

Its a little while since I booked with QF or J*, but last time i did, I paid via BPay, which there was no charge. But my BPay account is linked with my c/card that earns QF points. Thus, I earned the points with no C/Card fee. Has this changed?

Comfort fee sounds like the term - Comfort women - that the Japanese used during the war for prostitutes. Should we draw any analogies?

In the past, when I haven't been able to book a flight online using my QFF points due to it being an odd start and finish, I have just phoned Qantas and they have booked it but waive the 6000 point penalty. For example, I recently booked SIN to BOM via their call centre as it wasn't available...

I bought a Bus tix from Jetstar (Mel-Sin) last year to use earlier this year but had to change the dates due to work reasons. It was their basic business class fare and NOT the upgraded one (called Bus Fare with Max) that allows refunds etc. Despite the fact that the price advertised on the...

Marry for money and travel up the pointy of the plane.....a lot! (not that I'm shallow or vacuous)

I am not a member but I have managed to go the lounge quite a few times over the years and I am ALWAYS amazed at the number of bogans and yobbos in there. (Probably the reason why I wouldnt join). Feet and shoes on furniture, poor hygiene practices, oafish behaviour etc seem to be standard. And...

Maybe I'm a little naive here, but wouldn't you have to spend a lot of money to get there 45k points. Surely it would almost be a case of spending more money than you would gain!

I lived in London for a few years and was always shooting off to Euroland for short breaks. Two flights with BA convinced me never to fly them again. Each time I spoke to the cabin crew with my 'colonial' accent, you could almost see the bad smell appear under their nose - and I do not have...

I'm 195cm tall. For that reason alone, I fly Business on nternational flights. On domestic, i'll put up with cattle class, as it is usually Mel- SYD or Mel-Bne anyway. WHen I arrive though, I am quite happy to go cheaper on the hotel - not backpackers but quite happy with 2 or 3 star.

Nothing stolen from luggage, but did have DF booze confiscated in LAX - apparently I was bootlegging - whatever that means. Travelling from LON (where DF was bought) to LAX for 2 night stopover, then on to OZ. Despite having receipts etc, I was breaking some law (which they had just made up, I...

Hi I am flying from Mumbai back home to Oz soon and just read on the Qantas site that if you buy duty free alcohol and perfume from Mumbai airport "even in the sterile zone", it will be confiscated as it is not allowed on board the plane. See Carry on Baggage - Country Specific This...

I couldn't see how you can crack jokes one minute and then talk about safety the next. I just looked at the FA's and thought if this plane crashes, I cannot rely on you. They give the impression that they would be out the door before any pax, screaming their head off. Virgin - never again!!!

I always go as far as possible to the back near where the bus comes in to LTCP. You can usually get a park near the bus stop. Parking near the entrance is just a nightmare - given up on that ages ago. Unless you fluke one as you drive past.
