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...

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...

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...

My mother in law is travelling home to Toowoomba tomorrow after three weeks training people across SNSW, and staying with us in CBR on weekends. Rather than fly CBR-BNE and take a company vehicle that may or may not have been deposited for her at BNE, and then drive the 2 hours to Toowoomba...

I'm keen to vent and seek suggestions of what I should request from Virgin beyond serious grovelling for their complete inability to handle a large number of pax that missed their connection DRW-SYD-CBR in Sydney last night. I received ample warning that my flight was going to be delayed via...

All I thought I'd do a quick travel report DRW-DPS return for my young family and au pair (and me CBR-SYD-DPS-DRW). 4 April-9 April. I had booked a package through Flight Centre, as both my wife in DRW and I in Canberra were busy. I flew VA ex CBR on an ATR to Sydney on a VA saver fare, with...

Hi I just wanted to share my experience today with trying to organise two for one today with my Virgin Money Platinum Card. I wanted to organise for my spouse and children to fly to DRW-BNE, while I fly CBR-BNE. Apparently I have to be one of the two people. Is this right? It seems a bit...

Hi Last month I had a lovely trip SIN-NRT with MH, and have been looking at the Status and Points rolling in for the SIN-KUL leg (return) however, nothing rolled in for KUL-NRT leg return, until after I logged a request, until today. The return was nil points, nil status. Is this normal? I...

We have a French au pair coming to stay with us for six months. They haven't travelled much from their native Bordeaux previously, and are now flying to Australia on EK, and then JQ (Codeshare QF) to DRW. Who would you recommend they join for value in terms of Frequent Flyer membership? EK or...

I'm travelling a lot more next year, so to give Mrs Here2go a hand with the children, we're getting an au pair, who will be assisting with driving the car Living in the NT, we're AANT members, which like Tasmania, has the membership attached to the driver, not the car. This hasn't been an...

Through Skyscanner, I've found lots of agents that will book you a Saver Lite fare at dirt cheap rates that are effectively GST free. However, none I've found so far will book you a saver fare. Have I been looking in the wrong places? I am currently pooling status to Mrs Here2go, so I have...

I had to book a return trip DRW-SYD on VA this week, so I thought I'd give the mobile app on Windows Phone a go. Experiences have been poor. The app insisted on insurance, so I used Expedia on the work computer which runs an old browser. Then mobile checkin wouldn't work. After contacting...

Hi My spouse has in my view met the requirements for Platinum. Can you please confirm she should be upgraded on the basis of these details, and if so, how long does it take for the software, etc. to run for this to take effect? Cheers!

All This sounds like an oxymoron - Japan and Milk, but I am asking for Miss Here2go (2yo), who loves milk, but is lactose intolerant. Does anybody know whether there is a brand of lactose free milk that can be purchased in Japan (specifically in Tokyo and Kutchan/Niseko, or a powder that we...

I am currently in BNE visiting my folks with the kids, and my folks pulled out a toy from my youth in LAE, where there was a lot of commuting between LAE-POM-BNE with PX and QF. I thought you would all appreciate this, especially the additional logo on the plane. What early indicators of the...

I am looking at getting a JQ MC to avoid paying JQ fees and wanted some advice as there hasn't been a thread on this for three years or so. http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/other-credit-card-rewards/jetstar-launches-credit-card-19958.html. I know the best way to avoid the...
