    Inaugural AFF Cruise 25 - 29 Jan 2018

    I can recommend Sabatinis on Golden - if you enjoy Italian food. The steak house is also pleasant, but I found Sabatinis to be the better of the two.

    Qatar Gets Drubbing From tabloid journalist (and Cathay too).

    There’s no need to make it personal between any of you; though it is entertaining. As customers of airlines, we should all be together in wanting the best result, because one day soon it’s likely you’ll be on the wrong side of the equation wishing a matter was more appropriately dealt with...

    Qatar Gets Drubbing From tabloid journalist (and Cathay too).

    “But a small plea to airlines: for goodness sake, just tell passengers what's happening where there's a delay.” That’s really the crux for me. When something goes wrong, it all comes down to the communication. Too often these days, big corporations are unable to fulfill basic service standards...

    QF do not want you using the EK lounge (for QF flight)!

    Qantas lounge staff shouldn’t be commenting on access rights, with attitude no less, if they’re lacking that specific knowledge. They’re plainly in the wrong here. If I were the agent, I’d: A) know the ins and outs of my job B) at any given moment, be prepared to find out the information I’m...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF434 MEL - SYD 1/12/17 Lunch service. The options were a soup (I don’t recall what exactly) or ricotta ravioli with bacon. Well, I heard bacon and that was obviously my choice. It wasn’t...good. It wasn’t awful either. I would say it was average, but that’s a slight stretch. It was very dry.

    Can't log into the new Flybuys app

    I downloaded the app this morning and logged in first try. Not sure how that helps, but just thought I would share my experience with it.

    Meriton 'misled and deceived' by blocking customers' bad reviews

    I am a frequent Meriton guest and have never had an issue. Certainly nothing that would warrant a negative review. So far this year I have stayed in their properties on 9 occasions. To that end, I've never published a positive review online either...

    CEO refuses to put tablet on flight mode 10 Nov

    Refusal to switch on flight mode resulting in an hour delay of a flight full of other paying passengers - certainly sounds like this person fits into the 20% (referring to JB’s article link above) The guy must be a hoot at parties and things.

    What a daft human being.

    Sydney- Singapore - Bali

    Oh dear. Well I mean, it is a flight to Bali. I am following along closely, doing this trip in January (except J not R :oops: to Singapore) and then on to Bali after 3 nights at Marina Bay Sands. Enjoying your ongoing TR. Happy travels!

    The [iPhone] X factor… or..

    If Qantas Mall is like Velocity/ANZ Rewards, then iPhone X isn't included in the points offers at the moment :( ...realising of course that $14,000 spend on iPhones would be interesting :eek:

    The [iPhone] X factor… or..

    I’ve actually had the web page loaded on my browser to log a battery replacement for my 6S for a few weeks now. I decided to wait until I got the new iPhone before doing it to save having to restore everything to my 6S and then having to do it all over again with the new phone. Apparently my...

    The [iPhone] X factor… or..

    I ended up picking one up on launch day, and cancelling my pre-order. I love it. A vast improvement over my previous 6S, most notable in its speed. No lag, as I experienced constantly on my old device. Face ID is brilliant, and the removal of the home button has resulted in a UI that feels...

    15% bonus is back (between 1/02/2018 and 14/02/2018)

    Woohoo! I've been saving my ANZ Reward points and Fly Buys since the last bonus period. Happy to see this back again, and the additional 15% from ANZ is very welcome.

    Couch to 10K. Thats steps - I aint running!

    Thank you! You had a great result! For me, it’s been the combination of daily exercise with watching what I eat. I refused (this time) to count calories or stick to a meal plan. It’s come down to portion control, eliminating most take-out food, and relying more than ever on good home cooking...

    Couch to 10K. Thats steps - I aint running!

    Thank you! It’s great to see people trying to take positive steps (literally) to become healthier and fitter.

    Couch to 10K. Thats steps - I aint running!

    Between 2014 and 2016, I let myself go quite badly. I became very sedentary, didn’t watch what I ate and ballooned to 103.5kg. I decided things had to change and so I began walking every day at the end of August 2016. I’m down a smidge under 27 kilos since then. I’ve written about it on my...

    The [iPhone] X factor… or..

    Add me to the list of people that attempted (and was finally successful) to part with a large sum of money for a phone this evening. “Attempted”, because both the Apple Store app on my current iPhone and the Apple Store website on my computer wouldn’t refresh to indicate that the pre-ordering...

    Musing about cruise loyalty programs vs airline and hotel programs

    Oh yes. I always use that perk, can’t believe I forgot about it. 150 minutes works out really well on the coastal repositioning cruises where phone reception is usually enjoyed on the upper (outer) decks or the landward side of the ship. Both sporadic phone service and the free wifi minutes...
