As part of the trip to rockpool this week, thewinchester talked to the owner of Uber who offered a free trip to anyone who registered for the service and sent through their email address. Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I took up the offer. All that the owner asked was that people...

After years of grumbling, I rocked up at the CBR J lounge today and asked for a bourbon and dry, expecting the usual Jim Beam rubbish. And then I saw him pick up the hallowed black bottle. That's right folks, Jack Daniels is the new standard "bourbon*" in the J lounge :) Apparently quite a few...

Anyone else? I just get kicked back to the main qantas.com.au website, no error message displayed. Have tried firefox, chrome and even IE (bleh).

Time to vent, if Virgin are wondering why people gave them a try then headed back to QF, you might want to first look at your website. I just went to do web checkin for some flights tomorrow. On QF, I would have: 1. Gone to Qantas - flights to Australia, New Zealand, Africa and Asia. Book...

Was surprised and appreciative to receive this in the post today ...

So with my international flying for work days behind me for a while, I was cleaning out my "travel" drawer last night and found quite a collection of international bank notes. Probably AU$250+ of NOK, JPY, HKD and USD. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on the cheapest way to convert a...

For what it's worth, I earned 400 SCs this year ...

I'm sitting in the LHR T3 galleries F lounge right now, and I witnessed something so amazing I thought it deserved a thread of its own. Every time I fly through LHR, there's at least one person in the line in front of me trying to get access when they have no valid reason at all. And I usually...

Congratulations? Does this mean that Qantas don't value my loyalty for the next 8 months and I should send my travel dollars elsewhere? Don't answer that, it's a rhetorical question, I'm just still finding it incredulous that a cap was put on the "loyalty" bonuses.

Qantas CEO Alan Joyce's revealing interview about coming out and having cancer | News.com.au This has to be the worst argument I've ever heard ... how many hours exactly does he claim to work? edit: from something jb747 posted previously, I believe that Captain's salary tops out around...

Time will tell. I have my doubts. Reserve Bank of Australia to ban excessive card fees | News.com.au

As it seems that quite a few people will be cancelling their Platinum Cards after the recent changes that were announced, and as my question below was lost in the main thread ... So, thoughts? I can google and find policies, but I'm interested in people's experiences with particular policies.

I'm looking at booking some J reward fares, but there's a chance that I might need to cancel them. The terms of the fare are a bit confusing: Which sounds good, until you get to: My bolding. So, if I cancel within 24 hours of the flight am I definitely entitled to a full refund, or is...

I have to admit since being gifted Epiqure membership at the P1 lunch in Sydney (although no free bottles of wine, unlike the hundreds/thousands of people who were gifted it due to the grounding), that I have found no real value in the membership. None of the events seem to be located in...

No, this isn't a rant about cancellation fees. I had a booking I made 2 weeks ago for a weekend at the Crowne Plaza Auckland (bossreggies "lunch"). I had booked a 2 Queen bed room on a refundable AAA rate, expecting to share the room. I couldn't find anyone to share the room with, so I...

HI Platinum Status gone already! Well that was a complete waste of time. I took the HI Platinum option when I got my DJ Platinum. I lost out on heaps of points because the platinum upgrade (from my existing earned Gold) took place right before a trip posted so I missed out on the bonus points...

Yes, you read right. I'm sitting in the MEL J lounge, and noticed that the SSID has changed (we will leave discussion as to whether that is sad or not alone). After selecting the new SSID I noticed that the landing page is now Optus branded rather than Telstra. Not inspired with confidence, I...
