ABC Article A few snippets from the article which is actually quite long Nice to see some media outlets bringing this to a wider audience and seemingly having groups like Choice getting behind it might even get some legs behind things. Not holding my breath here but it is a start I suppose.

I am looking for a new backpack for carry-on use. I have a nice PacSafe Vibe 20l backpack that I use daily and for quick day trips is usually all I take as I can fit a shirt, socks and deodorant in the front pocket with my laptop and chargers in the back. I am looking for something a bit bigger...

So I'll be leaving Darwin on the 1AMis flight on Wednesday morning, Qantas Club page says it is open from 1hr before first flight until the last flight of the day. Would this count as the first flight of Wednesday so open at midnight, or as last flight of day so will be open earlier?

Any one know how to disconnect my frequent flyer account from my old works business rewards? My old employer is useless and wouldn't even know how to log in now as the business rewards was linked to my email address which would be long gone. I thought I had cancelled everything on there when I...

So it's been a while since I have had to do the rental car thing, I used to have Hertz platinum or whatever it was (the top level) years ago which was generally good and would get upgrades and free hires a bit. I have mostly been using uber and taxis for business trips in the last 5-6 years so...

This is a rant... So here I am sitting in the Qantas lounge and they tell me that they don't get calls for Jetstar flights. The monitors also won't be updated if there are delays. The computer in front of them tells them there is a delay but it might not be correct either. Every other city I...

I am taking my kids away for the first time since Covid and we are flying out on Christmas day from Adelaide. Does Qantas usually do anything in the lounge ke on board? We will be ok the lounge at lunch time so hopefully there is some food the kids will eat as I doubt much else will be open!

I have to take a bag that is total dimensions 247cm but under 23kgs, on Qantas I would just chuck it in oversized. I assume virgin is the same without any fees?

Coming from Qantas I am used to status and points being credited basically when you land. How long does virgin take? I'm not in a massive rush but I do want to book some rewards seats that I need some flights credited for at some point!

So I did the discover gold status match coming from Qantas. I know things are a bit different now with how things are running with Covid but I just wanted to add my perspective and get feedback from others if I am just being biased or things are usually different. Check-in - About the same but...

Does Qantas even do priority bags anymore? I don't think I have seen my bag come out even in the first half on any domestic flight in the last year. Priority boarding is now working ok sometimes but collecting bags is the bit that actually wastes time.

Hi all, Last Thursday at lunchtime I was in the Virgin Lounge at Brisbane Domestic. I have since discovered I lost my camera and I have tracked it down to being in the rental car or at the lounge I had it last. I have tried ringing several Virgin numbers to get some information on if it was...

Hi guys, I have been looking at booking a J reward seat BNE-ADL on the 8th of October for 2 x pax. Most flights are showing the price but it is dimmed out and I cannot select tickets. Doesn't say sold out or anything. I have enough points but just can't book the seat for whatever reason. Any ideas?
