I joined the old "Flight Deck Club" in November 1982, with a four diget number, purchased a lifetime membership in 1992 and obtained life-time gold in 2008 just as I retired, disappointed to see over the years how the value of points etc have become worthless. Still accruing points through AMEX...

Traveling business and using BA to Sydney from LHR joking said to lounge reception how about an upgrade for my birthday (it actually was my birthday) sadly the delightful lady behind the desk said that she was sorry that she could not upgrade me because there were still seats in Business and...

Spent many years travelling to USA and had no problems, including bags in transet for 5-6 hrs, with the Zippers I used a TAS lock then cable tied the lock and zipper to handle. If the cable tie was cut off it gave some prewarning that the bag may have been tampered with either by TSA or others...

Last trip to UK I used Budget/Avis, they have an office in terminal 5 which was very handy, staff very good with directions etc etc however not all rentals have GPS but was lucky enough to get an Audi upgrade with GPS

I agree with Pele the Foreign Correspondent program raised a number of issues which confirmed my decision not to fly with any of the Air Asia services, I visit Bali once or twice per year and JQ or Virgin provide enough discount fare choices

I was hacked for nearly 300,000 points in February 2014, Qantas store employee contacted me to confirm that I had ordered an Apple Computer, when I said I had not placed an order for the computer they also said that a store voucher for $50.00 had been obtained the day before, again not ordered...

Bought lifetime QC membership early 90's and through my work and O/s travel I gained LT Gold on last work trip before retirement in 2008. Now when travelling o/s LT Gold makes an enormous difference to comfort particularly in Y but have noticed in past few years Y+ & J upgrades on points rearly...

Thanks Chris great info

Am going to Bali in June, I always try to book Y out to Denpasar and J coming home to Melbourne, with enough notice using specials I can usually get a mixed fare of under $800. Reason for J coming home is that it is usually a night flight, the J queue for check-in at Denpasar is very short, Y...

Always stash to use on J upgrades when overseas or occasionally for award flights, never used for the Q store

Yes always, agreed that it is tedious but DFAT can help a lot quicker if they have some basic info and the events of the weekend show me a need to register

Yes, all I had to do was obtain a Police report and forward a copy to Qantas who credited all points promptly, it also pays to change pin access code regularly

Thanks will try later today

Thanks, will try MH
