    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Now you have just ruined my cunning plan :eek: I guess I was assuming any hacker would be in and out as quickly as possible without looking at current award bookings they may be able to cancel to get a few more points to transfer out.

    MEL taxi scam

    I would think that collecting a few of those "up to $10,000" fines would be a lucrative option for whoever receives the revenue. Could make a lot of revenue for a little effort.

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Keepass is my tool of choice. Then the answer does not even need to be something I can remember or even pronounce - no, I am not Welsh, even though my answer to that question may appear to be a small town in Northern Wales :cool:

    Rules concerning booking flights from one of my five authorised stopovers

    If doing this, you do NOT need to recommence from Prague, unless you really want to go back to Prague. So you could choose your next planned point to recommence the journey and then its just one (very long) stopover between Prague and where you recommence.

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    I decided to reduce my risk as far as my QFF account is concerned, and make a few QFF reward bookings over the weekend. Even booking a CR+ international Y award as that was the only option in the date range needed. Probably not the greatest value for money, given that the flight was available...

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Not that it really makes any difference, but I believe there have been at least 11 categories of data reported as breached. I had 10 listed in my received email, but did not have Meal Preference included, so that makes 11 categories. Address Name Email address Qantas Frequent Flyer number Tier...

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    I just missed out on the full-house, likely because my meal preference was missing. There is no option to select "yes" as meal preference so I always leave it blank. 10 types of data affected, As far as I am concerned, Tier, Points Balance, and Status Credits are of little concern since that...

    Tight Qantas connection in Brisbane

    75 mins is way too tight for my comfort, especially if desiring a G&T or 2 in the lounge before boarding 😉

    Tight Qantas connection in Brisbane

    I believe Minimum Connection Time (MCT) for Brisbane Domestic to International is 90 mins. You currently only have 85 mins in your connection, so it is not a valid connection. Has one of the flight times changed since it was booked? Or were the two sectors booked separately and on separate...

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    I hope they do not issue me new FF number. I like my 5-digit number and it is etched in my memory. I hope any such re-issue of membership numbers would be done on an oipt-in basis for those who do hold concerns. Someone knowing my QFF number does not concern me, given that I have 2-factor...

    Rules concerning booking flights from one of my five authorised stopovers

    Also note that you can "save" a stopover if you land at one airport, purchase a separate ticket or travel by any other means to another airport and take up your journey from the new port. So, for example, I did a OneWorld Award where we landed into LAX, rented a card and drove around for a few...

    Year 2000 Qantas flights

    Certainly by May 2000, QF25/QF26 was the BNE-AKL-LAX and LAX-AKL-BNE routing. I flew QF25 BNE-AKL-LAX on 1st May 2000, and QF26 LAX-AKL-BNE on 5th May 2000. But I think that was fairly new routing for the flight number at that time. I flew the routing BNE-AKL-LAX the month before as QF53...

    New Luggage Recommendations

    2 wheelers are certainly in the minority in terms of availability. I suspect that is because the manufacturers have found they sell more 4-wheel "spinners" ... mostly because they break more often to owners need to replace them more often. It suites the manufactures to sell more 4-wheelers as...

    New Luggage Recommendations

    Yep, I concur. I will not buy a four-wheel "spinner" type case. I much prefer to pull a 2-wheeler behind me where its not going to suddenly stop on a bump/stone/crack and fall over beside or in front of me. And that empty unusable space between the bottom of the case and the bottom of the...

    New Luggage Recommendations

    The key, in my (and Mrs. NM) experience is ensuring your roll-aboard bag and "personal" piece can be "connected" for easy transport. For last year's NM's 3-week USA trip, I convinces Mrs NM to go HLO and bought he new carry-on bags for the journey. We bought: American Toiurister AppLite 4E...

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    I am glad I didn't bother pursuing Green Tier this year. I don't need the status credits (have Lifetime Gold and unlikely to reach Platinum again) and the 10K points does not count towards Points Club. So I can spend about 8K to earn 10K points and decided that was not worth the hassle of...

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    The Lexus NX350h is based on the Toyota Rav4 platform, so that should give a good idea of size.

    A bit of humour

    When asked what I would do if I was given 10 million dollars, I answered "change my sleeping medication, because its obviously not working since I must have been dreaming"
