In 2018, I took my (18kg) suitcase on as "hand-luggage" on a Shanghai Airlines flight from AOG (Anshan) to PVG. They hoped that by bypassing the luggage system, I would get to the QF check-in desk before it closed. Sadly, I was 10 minutes late and had to get the next day's QF130 home to SYD...

Passport not required, just photo ID issued by an Australian government, such as driver license.

It can also work for a 1-way trip to the airport.... (if you dare rent a car after reading some of the stories posted here!) It seems from anecdotal evidence that many people rent from an airport location and drop off in suburbs. The big rental companies need to re-locate vehicles to the airport...

I had a similar experience with Hertz in Perth last month. We arrived on the late flight from SYD, so it felt like after midnight, it was dark and we were tired. On being told there was no damage, I did a cursory check of paintwork, but missed a broken door mirror indicator light. Only the next...

one doesn't read the words on their activity statement!! QUOTE:Note: Points will not expire provided you earn or use points (excluding family transfers) at least once every 18 months. :(

A couple of years back my A380 economy seat from HKG-SYD would not recline, in spite of the cabin crew partly disassembling (and reassembling) it in an attempt to fix it. Not helpful for trying to catch shut-eye! The CSM took my detalis and I was mailed a letter of apology with a $100.00...

I have done the day trip to Suzhou on my own and am planning to take my wife on it next month.

We would love to join you, if NOT on the 5th/6th December...

No problems here, either. And the moment I got them I was on the phone to WOW cancelling the card. They did offer to waive the next years annual fee but I told them it was too late - because I now have a card with much better benefits for $49 a year (signature). A few hours later, I received...

I got mine without any annual fee, for life. You need to use the "hidden" link Citibank Rewards Credit Cards - Limited Offer

If your balance was very low that would seem a good move, but if you use the card a lot, it may be worth stopping and thinking it through.... I have cleared my balance and cancelled all standing charges, but I have until December before Macquarie will charge a fee. Sso I'll cancel before then...

Thanks for the hint. Applied for Citi Signature and have the card in my hand, authorised and ready to use in less than 3 days! No annual fees, the chance of some free wine and QFF points for $40 less than Woollies card per year!:)

With a virtual doubling of the annual fee for 2 cards, the hassles to come of changing online access, the fact that pay@pump convenience has gone, I'm cutting up my card and transferring my regular payments to another one before the deadline on 26th October. There are plenty of other cards with...

i.e. on the whole answerable to Arabs and given huge tax concessions or cheap funding?

it's a couple, of years since I checked in for a Jetstar flight at HBA, but I was asked for photo ID there. When I mentioned I had checked in the other way (SYD-HBA) without ID, I was told it was a legal requirement for check-in staff to positively ID a passenger, so staff at SYD were acting...

I would not recommend TravelSIM after a bad experience trialling one for my company in China - abysmal quality, delays and dropped connections; however colleagues have had good experience in Tanzania, Japan and Scandinavia with them. TravelSim is at best as good as Skype, as they use similar...

I have hardly seen space on SYD-HKG and SYD-PVG, in fact a flight earlier this year back from HKG was 100% full, so I could not be relocated from a broken seat (another thread needed to elighten people of A380 seat mechanics, methinks!). One one of those flights a cabin crew member postulated a...

Legally, the goods must be declared on import to the UK, as their limit is not so generous as Australia's at only £270 tax and duty free with no ability to share your allowance with others in your party. And probably you better do it, now you have told the world you are planning to break UK and...

All electronic devices with digital circuits running at high frequencies will radiate electromagnetic fields. Generally the higher the power of the device, the greater the power of emissions and therefore the chances of causing interference with other electronic systems. Even watches, hearing...

I also have seen that cameras can be used at all stages. I have also witnessed kids using Nintendos connected wirelessly during take-off on KTA-PER flight, without any intervention from the crew, E-readers in use on SYD-MEL last month, etc. it seems the cabin crews do not always recognise use of...
