This may've been covered in previous posts nut just in case..... Talking to the bank recently about my home loan I discovered that there's no annual credit card fees on any of their cards including the top tier ones during the life of the loan & thats standard for any home loaner of Westpac &...

Early days as I've only recently aquired a Platinum Virgin High Flyer Card. If I spend $7500 in the next 3 months I'll get 50K Velocity points plus a coughload of status points (I don't know how many but I'll reach the mandatory 7.5K spend pretty easily anyway). I also get international travel...

Fair enough serfty however I can only speak from experience. The A320 flight in each direction was the same seat pitch with row 9 outbound & row 26 inbound. Last April I found the Auckland-Wellington-Christchurch domestic ANZ 737-300 legs experiences to be of roughly similar quality. Gotta...

For several years now be it a low cost economy fair or a biz class fare I religously (for want of a better expression) book my return flights through the airines web site of the country I'm returning from as it saves so much money. For example HK to Sydney on the overnight redeye last October...

I can understand airlines wanting to capitalise on passengers who book late paying more especially from a forward planning point of view for the airline RE frequency & size of aircraft required for the flight. However there's many a flight that leaves the ground with an abundance of empty seats...

I'm just a plain old in the main domestic flyer with the occassional overseas biz trip. QF Silver & VA Bronze. I've got to watch the purse strings as instructed by the CFO so it's mainly red-e-deals for me. Even so I've always spent a little bit more for QF because of frequency, some far flung...

If your are an airline/aircraft buff, you'll enjoy this place. The museum is of international quality/size. The complete tours are worth the extra expense. The staff are focused on making your stay the most informative, personally satisfying experience that's possible. If you have this sort of...

OK so may you know me now from my cough sessions in the forums lately. If you read deeply you'd understand I really do give a sh%t about our great national icon. I was lucky enough that when I was a kid one of my dad's good mates was the QF senior engineer so I got to sit in the pilots seat...

PS harvyk Very well put. The rumors abounding of DJ's forthcoming improvements for FF's are starting to make one consider salivating. The A330's starting in May to Perth from SYD/MEL are a smart move. However I think Borghetti is getting it wrong trying to QFize VB. Especially on the premium...

I almost bothered writing to them on the premis that we spend around 30K p.a. with QF. I know it's not a lot but I'm sure DJ would like the dough instead. How many other SME's are like my company? However I've been around long enough that the typical BET(Big End of Town) response would be/mean...

As per my first post tonight I travelled recently with she who must be obeyed to Port Lincoln South Australia. This place is a recent addition to the QF route map & for those who like to get outside the main tourist traps in AU one I certainly recommend. If you shop ahead you can obtain a OW...

Thanks Tuppaware. Yeah I'm normally carry on only also for biz travel but this was with the Mrs on hols. I've been on the forum for a little while & thought I should post so vented the spleen a little that Mr AJ deserves plenty more of. I don't think he get's the full service ailine model we...

I just completed a round trip Sydney-Adelaide-Port Lincoln-Adelaide-Melbourne-Sydney. I'm a QF FF Silver member & also a long term member of Qantas Club. Although I fly with QF around 30 times a year it's nearly always domestic so I can't make it to Gold but I think my patronage & loyalty should...
