Just read the article on platinum (great read, thanks). As for the 'free Economy X' seats, I've only flown in X 3 times, and every time I regretted it. I have found Economy X is always full, whereas the back of the plane has plenty of spare seats. e.g. flew BNE-DPS in economy X (paid for that)...

flying IN to BNE, I always choose the rear cabin seats. You can get out the back door of the plane, FAST! Sadly, MEL & SYD seem very hit & [often] miss with opening the rear door to exit.

Don't forget to factor in DEPRECIATION on the items - especially electronics! As a surprisingly nice ABF lady told me once, when I took my new $1100 phone out of country, & I asked her what to do when I came back ;-) (sorry if someone else mentioned this in an earlier thread, I got sick of...

yeah, bloody Virgin. If it's not bad enough flying BNE-DPS on a cramped old plane, you can't even drown your sorrows at the international lounge first. Yes that lounge was a bit 'basic', but still far better than airport prices outside - as I discovered recently. $19 for an atrocious burger...

I closed my ING accounts last year, after all their changes! Now with UP! (which use Wise for international transactions too), much better. Also their App is 1000 times better too. :)

looks like too many people took up the offer, because it has now been massively dialled back :(

"how long is a piece of string" and more importantly, how 'nice' or 'grumpy' is the officer you deal with when arguing depreciation! However, each year the ATO publishes a Tax Ruling on depreciating assets. So you could look up the effective life of XYZ item e.g. a Laptop (2 years), which means...

good luck!! (on the plus side, at least it wasn't Qantas, and you after 3 hours the call simply dropped.)

great review. very engaging! I got free Gold Hhonors from Virgin last year. The DT Hilton I stayed at in Chongqing - Nan'an, China was great. Lounge was great and 80% empty! Room was upgraded, and had amazing views. Different story at Hilton Garden Inn Ras Al Khaimah, where they had no record...

A few weeks back I jetted off on a USA holiday - 2 weeks spent between New Orleans and South Dakota. Yes, those 2 places do sound a bit odd. :p But first... Somewhere on this site I remembered reading about a nice SC 'hack' of getting a lot more SCs for your buck, by booking on Delta's...

I have some Krisflyer points expiring "June 2010", and I have already extended them once. Just wondering if they will expire BY 1 June, or if it means the END of June?? :confused: thank you. LUV Singapore Airlines. :D
