Look what I found when going through some boxes in my parents garage ... Free to good home ... it is in pretty good condition.

I have very fond memories of the many, many bookings made through Thomas Cook and the Thomas Cook package holidays I enjoyed in the early nineties. I thought I would share details of my first international trip in 1989. See attached. It was a lot of money for a university student at the time...

Partner and I are booked in First on A380 LHR-AUH in September and eventually on to SYD three days later. Mother-in-law booked in Business. I'd like to try to upgrade her to First (if a seat is available) but I know from experience that Etihad don't offer upgrades for certain fare classes. I...

In February I applied for a new home loan with ANZ. I used a mortgage broker. My broker asked me if I would like to get a credit card at the same time. I mentioned to the broker that ANZ was running an offer on their Rewards Black credit card - 75,000 QFF plus 1st year annual fee waived - and...

This popped up in my twitter feed and I thought it was interesting for the avgeeks out there. Enjoy. The Need for (Aircraft) Speed – Tripatini

I have a business trip to Helsinki mid-May. Will only be there a couple of days so looking to get some comfort to minimise the pain. OneWorld is my preference, but can consider others. AY is most obvious but looking for other ideas.

Was flicking through the QF website and see that QF FF points now expire if there is no earn or use of points for 18 months. Doesn't currently affect me, but how long has that been going on?

I am looking for a RTW solution. Flying ex SYD. Prefer to travel in J or F, and on OneWorld. Will consider other carriers - lie flat seats are a big+. Must visit destinations are HEL and BOG. Would also like to stop in HKG and MAD (with a side trip to RAK). So one itinerary could be...

I have a client travelling from Singapore to Bogota in August. Any suggestions for routing/airline. Everything I have seen takes 30+ hours, mostly because of poor connections. That may be OK, so long as there is a reasonably good stopover point. Also, they are premium travellers, and would...
