Different model to BA. If these are handed out like lollies the same way Qantas did to VIPs, not only would there be savings on expensive non recyclable labels, but theoretically tracking would be more reliable, especially if there is rfid tracking. Win win.

I wish Virgin would get Bagtags. It would make the Qantas RFID discs arcane in comparison.

Airlines should get together to rollout contact less Checkin technology using common RFID tag with LED Display like is being rolled out with many airlines. Walk up, dump bag with tag. For international this would also speed things up when you still need a human in the loop.

I do. It's annoying that HSBC say the card is Australian issued. I've had a few challenges with it - Beem won't recognise it either.

Except with HSBC World Premier Mastercard. YakPay said interchange fee is 1.95%! 1682390970 Except with HSBC World Premier Mastercard, where the interchange fee is 1.95%

I loved these planes when Virgin flew them too. It's an interesting investment by Alliance though. If Qantas will start replacing them with A220s next year, where will the planes be redirected too? Will Virgin start contracting them, or could we see Alliance opening other routes. It would be...

Can you pay at AusPost and keep points alive?

The video on the BAGTAG site suggests it cannot be reused. On soft bags - Backplate screwed into fabric with and then attached via 3M sticky stuff, and attached via 3M double sided tape onto hard bags. It can also be used on bagstraps, where the strap is surrounded. The BA version attaches to...

I came across this RFID Bag Tag product looking at the Future Travel Experience Website https://bagtag.com/ Lufthansa have rolled it out Lufthansa Group rolls out electronic bag tags with BAGTAG partnership and China Southern are about to roll it out too China Southern Airlines to roll out...

I'm doing a similar trip this December with my family of four - fly into YUL on 14 Dec, then make our way down to Toronto a few days later to see friends, then head over to Syracuse to catch up my wife's friend from boarding school. My wife would like to see Niagara Falls, then keep going on...

I know - two flights. Qantas and BA to get from BWI to ABQ.

I have an Open Jaw flight booked CBR-YUL, SJC-CBR, and decided to arrange internal flights under my own steam. I've seen on Skyscanner internal flights in America flying Qantas (combined with BA) using American metal. I am curious if the baggage benefits of flying Qantas follow through? (ie free...

I've just had an informed voicemail from American Airlines, and the Visit North America Pass product was discontinued on 1 January 2019. "Please contact us if you would like to make changes to your booking." Case closed. I'll probably just fly Southwest instead.

Hi I've been looking to see if the OneWorld Visit North America Pass with AA still exists for flights I'm undertaking at the end of the year with my family with AA. I'm looking to see if it is an option for internal flights, and whether it offers value for money. Conventional wisdom is they...

Fuel increases as Trump starts throwing his weight around in the Middle East and disrupting supply lines is a good reason to have more economical aircraft

I am following in the path of the Barefoot Investor, who suggests following the Teutonic approach, ditching credit cards, and moving to cash. Anyway, I am looking for a debit card or travel card with points and Osko/New Payments Platform refills (aka one minute topups). I have checked QANTAS...

I agree with the sentiment having worked in a hospital that ran Windows 95 on the display for the lifts in the late 90s:eek: However, I would hope that Emirates, and for that matter, Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, Bombardier et al look at Blackberry QNX (the OS used in Ford Sync 3 and other modern Car...

Pauline Hanson back in August flying Cattle Class to Senate School on Virgin caused quite a stir. The media were there at CBR. I had to refrain from asking her noting her views on Halal, which allows the consumption of crustaceans and camels, we should go back to following Leviticus word for...

Not that I fly much now as I have no reason to leave Canberra except for holidays. When I travelled lots last year, I always preferred Expedia to book over the Virgin website for this reason.

Mother-in-law checked in at the International Transfer desk using her QFF card, having already checked-in with her mobile. No quibbles mentioned, and the bus took her from T1 to T3 with no fees involved. Good to know for future reference, although getting back in the other direction will...
