Thank you for the referral codes. My wife and I have both signed up and are enjoying the high interest on our savings, the rebated ATM fees whilst travelling (and also in pubs, clubs and convenience stores closer to home), and the $100 each from this promotion. I know, I could have opened an...

I wasn't sure whether MrsdoctorkPhD's new ING (thanks for referral code, AFFers) card would rebate ATM fees at those small Australian DC-cash ATMs like you see in pubs etc. So I asked her to try it out tonight. $2.90 to withdraw max $200 (quite expensive for Oz) - rebated immediately to the...

Is Jimmy still your preferred taxi from MEL? I'd like a prebooked from MEL to CBD in early Jan and was going to send him a text.

My renewal was in September. There was a deal with my professional association (the AMA - no surprise given my handle on this site) for $299. So I told them no thanks, I'll re-join via the deal. The call centre staffer checked with her supervisor and they couldn't/wouldn't match it. So maybe...

Do you know if this is still the case?

Hi travelling brains trust! I'm flying in February: Singapore-Helsinki-LHR with DrMrsTorkPhD, Miss 7yearsTork and Miss 4yearsTorklet. AY business SIN-HEL connecting to BA Club Europe HEL-LHR. Finnair departs late at night 2355 from Changi. We're holidaying at the W Sentosa beforehand and I can...

Yes it is, measures 225mm x 125mm. PM me with an address to which to send it. Happy reminiscing and travels. (and thanks for your thoughts re my loss).

***Item spoken for: thanks for your interest*** I found this Ansett travel wallet when I cleared my late mother's house last weekend. It is in as-new condition, as it was kept in plastic wrap at the bottom of a box. It was going into the skip, but maybe there's an Ansett enthusiast out there...

Matt - a generous offer and I like the way you're going about it. The family (my wife, 7yr old and 4 yr old) and I have a 2h50m layover on 3 Feb in MEL as part of SYD-xMEL-SIN-xHEL-LHR, as we move to the UK next year from Sydney. Was going to ask for a chance, but I've read on AFF that FLounge...

T-80 seats opened up right on time for QF domestic today

Hello friends. I apologise that I don't have my own Expertflyer sub, but this is my last international travel for a year or so, as my mum has been diagnosed with a serious illness. So I decided to put off subscribing until I start travelling again. Would someone be able to check loadings on: 1...

Yes there is. With a Sony Store in it, along with the Nike, Gap/Old Navy, Osh Kosh and so on. Went there once with a bunch of colleagues from a conference in San Antonio and it was the two men in the group (me included) who bought the most stuff. Justinf - if you take this option, you'll need to...

Got a last minute Sydney serviced apartment at peak time through Amex concierge. Paid an awful lot, but would've had to anyway, and didn't need to ring around for hours to find it (called a couple places myself but fully booked). To be honest, I was really busy at work and desperate to shift...

I haven't flown international business class to Europe since the QF-EK tie up. Can those of you who travel J a lot SYD (or MEL, BNE) - DXB - Europe (ZRH in my case) advise me on how strictly EK (in Sydney or Dubai) police the dimensions of cabin baggage? I'm flying QF marketed EK metal in J...

Flew VA in J MEL-SYD. Captain took a while in the toilet. FA blocked access (but I didn't realise this until I tried to pass the curtain that VA pull across the forward galley). So VA more subtle but probably because of routine use of the curtain.

Thanks for this. I'm off to IND in a few days, and will try to enrol. Will report back on how I went/didn't go. EDIT: Just read "opens this fall". Global Entry it will have to be, when I finally get my biometric US passport...

The latest Companion magazine is $20 off $200 (coupon on page 17) and appears to be instore only, and disappointingly excludes technology products.

I used these on my recent trip to central Europe (on CX, AY and BA). They're fine. Better than my old Sony over-ears. Quite comfortable after 2 hours, even with my large ears. The AY A340 I was on from HKG to HEL had a broken IFE, so was glad I had these and iTunes. Favourable review too from...

BUD SkyCourt Lounge Wed 3 July 6pm (peak time for intra-Europe business travellers) But it seems a lot faster than the test would appear to suggest.
