To me there are three main considerations in which FF group to join up with: 1 - who you fly with (or are made to fly with). 2 - where you live and which airlines frequent your most used airport/s. 3 - (less important) the benefits of the scheme. I am with both Qantas (currently gold) and...

The Virgin adverting running ATM shows a passenger getting an offering of (what seems like another) red wine with his food and within the Voyeur magazine this month there is an advert that shows a passenger getting a reasonable meal with wine from a hostess. My recent experience of flying Virgin...

FWIW there is a much better service as a door-to-door. Adelaide City Shuttle - charge $10 and will drop you off at your motel or work place in the city. They will pick up from city for return too. At the information desk just ask and you will be directed, no booking required...

Hi, I am in the same situation as you. My employer does not provide credit cards to any staff. I travel most weeks and get around $1000 a month on my card. I use a 28 Degree card. It has no annual fee and a good interest free period. I rarely have to pay accommodation costs, so all of my costs...

As a gold member of both Qantas and Virgin was the reason for my question. My flights are all booked by my employer and they take the cheapest option first and my choice 2nd, so I can request Qantas domestic and if there is a cheaper option around the same time that will be booked for me and the...

I am gold with Qantas and a couple of months away from my year end. I have no chance of making platinum in this short time and I am wondering why I should keep flying Qantas and in this period why not fly Virgin to earn status credits to keep up my gold status with them. Qantas have offered my...

I am sure it was not within 24 hours. I think I did the booking on a Friday night or Saturday when we got confirmation of the funeral and my wife noticed the error when she was printing out the travel itinerary on the Monday. Her departure was on the Tuesday.

I have a good news story for this thread. Some months ago my wife needed to go to a funeral in central QLD and I booked an award flight with Virgin for her - yes time was tight. When I sent her the booking details she looked at them and I booked her to arrive in Brisbane and return on the same...

Does anyone know if/how they check residency when entering the MONA gallery?

I am considering purchasing one of the Everki Flight backpacks everki.com/index.php/products1/backpacks/flight-checkpoint-friendly-laptop-backpack-fits-up-to-16-detail The neat thing about this bag is it opens flat so (in theory) you do not need to get your laptop out of the bag and put it in a...

I have a set of the Sony in ear NC headphones. mdr-nc300d This is my third set of NC headphones and they are the best. They are small and keep out an amazing amount on noise. The mulit fit eat buds in 7 sizes are good. I have now settled on the largest for the best noise isolation on top of the...

thanks will check this out. Comfort and Quality are in some place I stay.

why are the 767's between Syd and Adel so old. I flew one last Friday and the TV's were all black and white?

Somewhere in Europe I had a shower head that changed colour as it heated up - that was cool. The best shower I have had (big call) is in Newcastle (NSW) at one of the Wests places where there are two massaging shower heads both of about 8 inches in diameter and you can get thoroughly wet in an...

Are there any recommended hotel loyalty programs for typical regional hotels. I spend much of my time in regional areas all over Aust. Have not see any in my travels. A Best Western loyalty program would be good, I try to stay there for the Q FF points. johnd

HI at Syd AP is every Tuesday night from 6pm. Funny it was on Wednesday night, but they moved it to Tuesday as there were too many airline staff and not enough hotel guests on a Wed.
