I just returned from Kentucky yesterday, where I visited my daughter who is currently residing there. If anyone has an itinerary with nearby destinations in late April, I can highly recommend adding in 'Thunder Over Louisville' for a fantastic day out. 'Thunder Over Louisville' features one of...

Just completed a 2 night side trip to Nashville and can highly recommend Stay Alfred 505 on Church Street.

I am currently in Amsterdam using my iPhone 6 and trying to call Australian business that has automated menu (ie. Press 1 for X). The call is going through ok, but my menu selections aren't being recognised, so I can't get to the person I want to speak to. The carrier is T-Mobile NL and it's a...

Sorry guys, I did search but couldn't find the answer. I currently have waitlisted flights for July booked as returns (3 x combos of the same flights) MEL-xSIN-FRA (same return). Is it better to book the flights separately ie. outgoing, MEL-xSIN-FRA and then incoming, if all are currently...

Sorry if this question has been posed and answered, but I couldn't find a related thread on this topic. Jnr needs to get to SDF (Louisville, Kentucky) from BNE. The flights are bookable on 3rd party websites, but not online via VA website. She phoned VA and they will book them, but they are...

So I have Jnr#2 heading back to AMS in March from MEL with no problem booking the outgoing flight, but she is unsure of a return date. What is the best option in this scenario? Book a return 12 months out or book a one way? Can you extend a return date past 12 months (paying the fee)?

I got a disturbing phone (messenger) call from Jnr#1 this afternoon. She flew from Louisville to Chicago today. After she had arrived at the hotel in Chicago, her phone alarm went off signifying that it's time for her to take her medication. She opened the front zip pocket of her backpack to...

Couldn't find that it's been reported here, so Mods, please delete if it has. Airport City Express now running double decker buses. https://www.skybus.com.au I still think we need a rail link.

Just been googling White House tours, which apparently, are available by contacting the Australian Embassy in Washington to book. A search of the forum returned nothing. Just wondering if anyone has done the tour and whether it was worth the trouble?

I'm in the early stages of planning a trip to USA (& Cabo) next year. It's a family trip and everyone will, most likely, be travelling in Y. I thought I might shout my sibling, and myself of course, the trip over in business using my points. I am aware how hard it is to get direct flights to...

Jnr#2 wants to head back to AMS for approximately 6 months. I can get her a return flight using 140,000 QFF points plus ~ $480. Is it possible to change the return date once the outbound flight has been taken? Is there a change fee? Any advice would be appreciated.

Does anyone have any recent experience and recommendations for transfer car/pre book taxi from LHR to London City (E1)? Jnr#2 is doing her first solo overseas trip with ETA 18:55 and is not confident enough to tackle the train involving a couple of line changes. I've had a look at a few...

Lucky it stopped where it did - Delta flight skids off runway at LaGuardia Airport: Local media reports.

Note to Mods - please delete/move if info has already been posted elsewhere. I spent the weekend trying to sort Jnr#2's intra Europe flights between LHR-AMS-ATH-BERLIN-CDG (all one way). I tried numerous 3rd party sites, which is where I found most of the flights, but booked the majority on...

Jnr#1 received a very distressing call from her BFF at about 5.30pm this afternoon. Long story short, BFF's dad is a FIFO oil rig worker, returning to work offshore near Darwin I think (I don't know exact details). He has just had a massive heart attack, is in ICU and on a ventilator. Jnr...
