    Short notice MEL-LON help

    Hi all, Thanks to getting some bad news, I may be flying MEL-LON in a few days time and returning some time in early Jan (would need to be back by 04/01). Possibly not the best time to be flying without much notice, but such is life. I'm aware the prices are likely to be through the roof this...

    Showers - LHR T1

    I'm heading over to Dublin in mid-october (arriving on BA12 at 0500 then BA-something from T1 at 0700). Is there anywhere in T1 to get a shower so that I can freshen up before spending the day in Dublin? I've got priority pass as well as being QF SG. I looked into the AC arrivals lounge at T3...

    Chances of dom upgrade seats being released? (PER-ADL this weekend)

    Hi all, I'm flying back from PER to ADL this weekend and have tried to upgrade two economy tickets with no joy either online or through the call centre. Is there any chance that upgrade seats are likely to be released before the weekend for a lowly SG or should I just get to the airport early...

    R.M. Williams bonus MR points

    Hi all, I'm sure that by posting this here the bonus points will be reversed, but I've just gotten an extra (on top of the plat charge bonus) 322 points for a $92 transaction at RMW in Adelaide. The points are listed online as "R.M. Williams Bonus Points" TBH, I wouldn't normally buy stuff...

    LAX Oneworld Lounge - should I stay or should I go

    The OW lounge in TBIT hasn't changed much in the 18 months since I was last in here. It's still an overcrowded hole where you only get a seat by asking "do you and your husband really need to take up 4 seats when there are obviously people wandering looking for somewhere to sit down?" and...

    Hi All, Am arriving in LA on QF11 next Thursday and will be transferring to an AA domestic flight with a 2 hour connection time. Do I have any hope in hell of getting through immigration/customs/TSA and still have time to shower and freshen up in T4 before getting on yet another pressurised...

    Major events listing

    Hi All, Some time ago I came across a link (think it was from one of the corporate travel agencies) that gave details of planned major events around Australia so that you could avoid (or plan a jolly) if necessary. Does anybody know if the page (or something similar) still exists? I'm asking...

    Smallest charge to your card?

    Telstra's method of surcharging is daft. Pay a bill one month and have the 1% surcharge added to your next bill. This works out well until you get a final bill of $1.81 and pay online with a card. I'm happy that they accepted my online payment for $0.02. Not sure what I'll do with the 0.03...
