Hi, my first post since forever after dealing with the passing of my longterm partner in Dec 2019 and one month later saying goodbye to my mother, before Covid hit. Since that time I've moved home (twice) and relocated to Queensland where I'm building again, so much for being dormant. As a...

Feel your pain but also may I say that the drive really isn't that bad. Straight up the Pacific Highway just following the signs. Once you've done the crawl up from Wollongong the difference from highway travel is in the first 15 mins as you come to the "shire" and traffic starts to build just...

New packing cubes (a fan for years) and a Pacsafe Crossbody bag that were headed to Spain tomorrow - looking forward to the crowds then, now just worried they won't ever see the sights and sounds of Barcelona

Just back from Bali (J). On the way to Denpasar tablet clean and loaded - okay to fill in a few boring hours as the food was pretty terrible. On the return journey just 8 days later the tablet disappeared without explanation even with Platinum FF status. Last trip ever in J class with this...

Thanks for your replies. I wasn't aware of the "soft fall back" so that makes me feel better.

I have held and enjoyed Velocity Gold status since 2016 and since that time have maintained that level without too much problem. Due to circumstances of a quick couple of trips to Bali and NZ along with some domestic travel as well I have suddenly acquired Platinum status after a recent trip...

Thank you for bringing me up to date. My question came now that Air NZ are now selling "that" seat for $19 at check in. On the back of that wondered if booking three seats when only two are required would stop the interloper. Cheers

Hi, Not so much a FF these days because of retirement thus posts are few and far between. Wondering if anyone knows if two travellers can purchase three seats to get extra space in lieu of more expensive J Class travel? Has it been done and is it a smart way to get a bit of extra space...

Wow wee, something I can post about at last! Utilizing new Sin/Can/Wgtn connection out of Canberra recently, able to use VA lounge as Gold FF (VA). Nothing available at all to SIN or VA in Wgtn and with flight leaving at 1050 it's a long wait in dowdy, dank WGTN poop shed. Now where can I rid...

Thank you - that's brilliant and just what I needed. Love your work :)

Love your logic serfty but agent has already indicated that only way to fix it is to upgrade. I've now given him notice that I want him to attempt to source 3 Y seats via whichever means he can so now I'm looking forward to our meeting tomorrow rather than dreading it. Thank you all so much -...

thanks sinophile888 - that's not been mentioned by the agent and an interesting and possible solution. Much appreciated.

No, as we are joining a tour which has been confirmed and also paid for.

Thank you - something not suggested by agent so it will be interesting to see the response.

Hi All, No longer a government employee thus not a FF anymore but a semi-retired couple who would love to be flying more than we are currently. Have just been notified by travel agent (yes I used one) that our PE booked and paid for flights with VA/Etihad have been changed with VA are no...

Certainly nowhere near your 500 mark - but maybe I'll get lucky! Would love 2 passes as my own Qantas Club membership has just expired and is now out of my financial reach. Taking a Qantas domestic in November using points to celebrate the departure of cancer...would love to have the...

My 1st post but hope this helps for next time. We always ask first 'Big Notes?" and only change where no commission is indicated in their signage. It's easier to identify if amounts are missing rather than trying to work out if it's commission they have taken. We always leave the odd amounts...

Oh my goodness - I thought it was just me. In Nelson NZ a swimming pool the size of a postage stamp with leaves and hair floating in it. A flat screen TV with blue standby light unable to be turned off which glowed all night and a toilet with a static louvered window opening onto a lane way...

Hello again folks and thanks to those who have already responded. It certainly seems to be one ticket, issued by Swiss.

Hi experienced travellers; We (older citizens x 3) are travelling to Italy mixed class in July. Our 1st leg is Syd to HK with VA (economy) then over to Swiss (business) from HK to Rome via Zurich. Can anyone tell us how we do the transfer in HK, can we trust that our bags will arrive in Rome...
