My review date is tomorrow. I’m hoping for a couple more days of delay, with pooling from my wife it will be a handy start to requalification.

I'm the opposite. I had unexpected flying during the promotional period when I'd already requalified for platinum. My review date is the 18th April, it would be a nice bonus towards next year if my wife and my bonus arrives after then. Otherwise into the black hole they go (if only Velocity had...

You should have offered to buy him some Lynx deodorant and give him a good spray down.

And so the fun begins... Check back in 6 months and I might have created a cellar!

I am looking at a holiday with my 3 children (wife will be at home working). She is in a new job and not able to take leave, and it's easier sometimes to entertain the children on a holiday rather than at home. Some Accor properties have a max children per room of 2, despite a room capacity of...

I do feel sorry for the crew. Rostering must be horrendous, multiple aircraft across the day. I was delayed returning home from Melbourne last night. First Officer was on board 30 min before departure, then 3 flight attendants including CM arrived, then the captain, then the last flight...

Or they are trying to stop the scraping of data to make spreadsheets of city by city deals? Like @DLR used to so kindly prepare for us.

One of the funniest calls I've ever seen on this site

Extra data is useless for those in higher dollar amount plans (who don’t come close to using the allocated amount each month.) If anything, service will deteriorate as those on cheaper plans have extra data and use up more of the shared bandwidth. Once my main workplace shifts next year and I’m...

How will you slum it in the First Lounge during the overnight closure?

I have 500 Vin Tags sitting in my office cupboard (I built the cellar about 8 years ago, now just have a fridge until I build the next one.) Maybe in the new one I'll make use of the tags!

1. Probably not. This is more of a desire to be able to see the bottle labels without having to pull the bottle out. 2. My new cellar is a work in progress (not much progress at this point!) I'm likely to use mesh style racks instead. 3. I think I had a 600 bottle cellar last time. Even with...

I used Cellarstak in my previous cellar. Pros: Flexibility of shapes are good Easy enough to assemble Cons: My hands hurt by the end of the process No visibility of labels (need to take the bottle out to check)

Thank you for the heads up. Stocked up on some 2009 Grand Vintage, who knows when the sale of the Arras brand will be complete and it no longer appear on CellarOne.

Computer or tablet? I’ve found more success searching on a laptop and desktop than using a mobile browser. I know it shouldn’t matter, but it seems to change things for me. (I was recently searching domestic flights, and had the same issue.)

Any slurping of said noodles?

I can’t believe how often the “court found we had sound commercial reasons to sack our staff illegally” line keeps getting repeated. It was clearly crafted by a PR hack, but who are they appealing to. I have sound commercial reasons to not pay tax. Is that a valid reason not to? They just...

Won’t she try and stay as long as possible to maximise her defined benefit super plan?

Looking into it further this sale is Sydney and Perth, no sale fares appear to be available from Brisbane.

Are there any fare rules around this? Looking at flights for a conference in Tokyo in February but can't get the prices quoted for when I am looking at travelling.
